Keeping It Real With Renee

Renee Forney discusses brokenness existing at some level in every human being’s life. As we come to know Christ, surrendering our lives to His Lordship, He transforms our brokenness into something beautiful. Our brokenness becomes something beautiful after colliding with the Cross, Jesus. Renee encourages you to own your luggage/bags/brokenness and then lay it at the feet of Jesus so that it does not become a hindrance to you living life in a manner that is God honoring. Refuse to own the brokenness of others. Release others from the expectations of being perfect and release yourself from the performance monster... Scripture references: Psalms 147:3, Proverbs 4:20-27, Romans 12:2, Zephaniah 3:17, Romans 8:28, Romans 8:39-39.

Renee explores Paul and Silas’ journey- beaten with rods, locked in chains imprisoned in an inner cell. Nevertheless they sang hymns of praise to God even in their painful trying struggle. In the midst of trials and crises, If we choose to continue to be useful to God in the midst of it all declaring the gospel of Jesus Christ, God will use it for the good of His Kingdom and draw others to Himself. In your crises shake your atmosphere with praise to God. Acts 16:22-34, Romans 8:28, John 16:33

Renee discusses how Jesus desires to heal the soul from the painful bleeding that occurs from toxic relationships. She takes you on a journey into the story of the woman with the issue of bleeding and how she pressed into the crowd to get to Jesus for healing. Renee likens the desperation of this lady to the desperation of the need for Jesus to intervene when we find ourselves in toxic relationships that causes bleeding of the soul. What Jesus cuts away from our lives we should never return to yoke back up with; for it hinders true healing. We must first take steps to embrace Jesus pruning us - John 15:2b “and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” We must agree with Jesus “Yes Jesus You are good and this is done for my good”. Removal of the toxic relationships makes room for more healthy thriving relationships that will encourage your growth in Jesus. Don’t grieve the loss of the relationship too long. Be intentional with giving thanks to God for it is His will for you in Christ Jesus. Remember Jesus loves you dearly and desires that you not reconnect to the toxicity of bad relationships. You are the apple of His eye. Mark 5:25-34, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, John 15:2

Renee Forney discusses the need to reject rejection by embracing the fact that What Jesus did has made you righteous. We must wear our robe of righteousness and walk in the deep love grace mercy and acceptance of Christ.

Renee discusses being tired in the midst of suffering. Learn how to press through in praise while you wait for Gods deliverance. Learn how to stay clear of becoming impatient with God.

Discover the root cause of your critical spirit by carefully evaluating your thoughts and the words which come from your mouth. Have you become bitter due to an unforgiving heart. Jesus desires to heal you of every offense which you have been carrying.

No matter what storms you face in life you must remember that Jesus is ultimately in control. Crying out to Jesus in faith will bring peace to your storm. Luke 8:22-25

Reading and studying the word of God will bring about healing for the soul diseases such as anger, unforgiveness, rage, bitterness, worry, and anything that causes brokenness in our lives. Read the Word of Jesus daily to maintain a healthy soul. Key scripture Hebrews 4:12-13

God gives us grace to handle the thorns or painful scars that we encounter in life. Sometimes He heals and sometimes He chooses to use our thorns for His glory. Know that His power is made perfect in our weakness.
