Ignite with Shavon Smith

2020 was such a hard year for everyone..... the believer and the unbeliever. Covid-19 had no respect of persons but I believe that we have entered into a season where we are getting ready to recover what was lost and be restored in every area where we have been broken! Be encouraged because GOD is getting ready to pay us back!

Many of you run from the assignment that GOD has given you to do because you feel like the task is too BIG! You've run long enough! GOD has need of you!!!! Stop running and say YES!! There are people that are waiting on you to OBEY GOD!!!

There are opportunities that are getting ready to knock at your door. These opportunities are going to shift the trajectory of your life! You have to stay determined, dedicated, and discerning for this next season. Whatever you do... DON'T MISS YOUR MOMENT!

Don't allow your pit experiences to make you feel that GOD is punishing you! The pit is there to prepare you for GREATER! How you respond in your pitiful situations is what qualifies you for your POWERFUL moments! Be encouraged!!

There are many voices in the land that are competing for your attention and loyalty, and those voices of competition pull us in different directions. We want to do the right thing but sometimes the what the right thing is can be cloudy! 

It's not always clear. There may be times that we will make a decision based on whose voice we listen to. There's still no peace because you're not sure if you made the right decision or not. To ensure that we have peace with our decisions we have to ask ourselves the question "Who Are We Listening To?"

In times like this when life makes you feel winded you have to pull on the strength of GOD to be able to endure! Endure means you're able to withstand adversity! Remember that the blessing is not given to the one that moves the fastest nor to the one that is the strongest, but to the one that has the ability to go the distance!

It may be scary and unfamiliar but know that GOD is trusting you to enter into your NEW! Transitions are not easy but it's in those times that our faith is tested and we have to fully trust GOD! Know that GOD will never require you to leave something and not give you more than what you left. What a blessing it is to be TRUSTED with transition.

It's time for you to let go of the offense! As long as you continue to hold on to the pain, to the bitterness, to unforgiveness you hinder yourself from moving forward! GOD has a plan for you but you have to lay down the weight of unforgiveness! Release the person of the debt and BE FREE!

There will be times in life that makes us feel like we are in captivity! When in captivity, exile, or a dark season it's very easy to lose your joy and your fervor! In today's podcast I want to encourage you to keep on singing because Greater Is Coming!!!!

Many times we allow our problems to stop us from praising our Father. It's in times of trouble that our praises and our prayers should become more intense. The harder the enemy fights us, the harder we need to go after GOD! Don't allow your personal prison to shut up your prayers, instead turn your prison into your very own prayer room.
