One Voice Makes A Difference with Janet Swanson

Janet shares prophetic words from several different people and the things that God has shown her.

I want to share a word with you that I feel like God spoke over my life and I believe that it is for all of us who have been seeking His heart. "Hey my friend! I had a dream about you this weekend. I saw you at the very top of a beautiful white staircase! It was breathtaking! There was so much light around you and everything was super white, including the walls and staircase. I felt God's glory! Get ready!!! You're going up! More Glory Lord!"

Not too long after that I saw a prophetic word by 𝒟𝓇. 𝒥𝑜𝐿𝓎𝓃𝓃𝑒 𝒲𝒽𝒾𝓉𝓉𝒶𝓀𝑒𝓇

"Expect a sudden victory. A sudden turning of the tides. Real breakthrough, even as your enemy is fully removed. The devil may have brought the battle to your door, but King Jesus guards that door! Because you belong to JESUS! The victory coming will be sweet and complete! Get ready to testify!"

This spoke to me and immediately took me out of the warfare. My thoughts were more on what was happening here and it was causing my faith to be weakened. But when I received that prophetic word….I said YES LORD….

The Bible says in Colossians 3:1-3

That you and I have been raised up with Christ, and we are to keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. We are to set ours mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For when we have died to ourselves and realize that our life is hidden with Christ in God, we will see the glory of God revealed in our daily, earthly lives.

On Dec. 20, 2023 this prophetic word was released by Lana Vawser based out of Australia. To find this written word, go to FB and search for Lana Vawser and scroll down to Dec. 20.

Stay alert and pay close attention to your dreams from the end of 2023 to the beginning of 2024.

Adriana and Janet have a real, raw conversation about what transition looks like and how it makes you feel.

Transition is not easy. Sometimes it will make you feel like you're falling apart, or like giving up. Adriana Belandria is my guest today and you've got to hear her story of transition from Venezuela…a whole other country…to USA… and how God helped her be a part of HIS perfect plan and sustained her in transition.

Here are some things you can do to help you in transition:

• Recognize that you need to do something with your sadness.
• Speak to your soul. If your soul hurts, then speak life over it
• Don't focus on the pain, but focus on purpose
• Surround yourself with people who will pray for you, people who love you

Hope you enjoy today's podcast!

Happy New Year you guys!!

This week for the new year, I wanted to share with you THE WAY OF JABEZ….MORE THAN THE PRAYER OF JABEZ

1 Chronicles 4:9-10

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "Because I bore him in (with) pain."Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, 'Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain! ' And God granted what he asked"

This is not a "name it" and "claim it" prayer. It's not a formula to get God to answer your prayer. It's not a ritualistic prayer that can manipulate God to answer you. However, there is a blessing waiting for you when you understand the heart behind the prayer.

Jabez's name means: pain, sorrow, grief

The mother of Jabez named him "pain" "grief" "sorrow" because of the pain of childbirth and what it brings.

He didn't want to live a life of pain and sorrow any more. He didn't want to continue being in pain, but he also did not want to cause pain to anyone else.

When He asked God to bless him, he was asking HIM to come close to him, for His presence, for His hand to be with him. He was asking God to give HIMSELF to him. And this is exactly what JESUS did for us! He gave HIMSELF to us! He wasn't asking God to take him out of his circumstances, or to even change his name. But he asked God to come close to him IN HIS CIRCUMSTANCES! He wasn't looking for an escape and he knew he couldn't go back and change the way his mother felt at the time she gave birth, but he did know GOD and he wanted GOD to be CLOSE to him…not just in a moment…but for life!

Jabez longed for a change. His change started with a prayer. His prayer was sincere, and his heart was pure. You life can be changed too by a sincere prayer!

Janet talks about the things that God has shown her throughout 2023 in the midst of transition, pain, chaos and the NEW THINGS God has been doing.

Hey you guys! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! I can't believe it's already Christmas and we are staring in the face of 2024. This year has flown by! Today's podcast is so important because I am sharing some very intimate things with you, so that you will be encouraged about how GOOD GOD IS!

I picked up a few things on TikTok that a girl posted that impacted me and it bore witness in my spirit of what I have learned this year and throughout my walk with Jesus.

Here they are:

• A man once said, "God is more concerned with your holiness than your happiness" yet I've never seen a holy man unhappy. There is nothing more joyful than living a holy life.
• A life of holiness is a life a purity, transparency, and apocalyptic.
• The Lord is approachable but His holiness is distinct.
• Just before God sends the right one, the enemy sends the wrong thing
• Jesus wants heart transformation, not behavior modification
• Growing closer to God is not the result of "trying harder" but surrendering more.
• When you have a relationship with the ONE who is LOVE…..then you can love others the way He intended.
• Jesus is the perfect painter. When we try to take control of our lives/the paint, it gets messy. But when we surrender the brush to Him, the perfect picture is created
• We read the Bible, but the Bible reads us, our hearts
• You have as much of God in your life as you long for right now.
• God is only pleased with Jesus, not you. By faith, you stand before God as Christ because Christ stood as you before God.
• When you criticize yourself, you criticize the Creator.
• The living don't date the dead.
• We serve a God that can restore the years the enemy (Joel 2:25)

Tom was at the end of his rope, ready to take his life, then the Holy Spirit showed up in a powerful way.

This week's podcast is quite possibly the most powerful interview I have done! You are going to be filled with hope and you will never forget this conversation.

Pastor Tom Akins is from Statesboro, Georgia and now lives in Wrightsville, Georgia

He is the pastor at Oaky Grove Church and runs a huge business at Akins Farm. He studied Business at Georgia Southern University

Also studied Andersonville Theological Seminary and Grace Valley Theological Seminary.

Tom was down on his knees on a Wednesday night after church with a gun held to his temple, in complete despair and hopelessness. His finger slipped off the trigger while he was trying to pull it, and all of a sudden he broke, he cried out to God, "God if you don't do something in the next 60 seconds I am going to pull the trigger and come be with you."

Needless to say, Tom was at the end of his rope. It was the end of his marriage as he had known it, but at the beginning of a new season! Tom said being a pastor you're not allowed to divorce, even though it was not his fault, so how could he go on?

Do you want to know what to do when you are at the end of your rope? Maybe you're at the end of your marriage, or the end of your God given dream, or you feel there is no hope for your future or maybe …….it's for a specific promise God made to you! Whatever it may be, God has something for you in this podcast! You have landed on the right page today.

You are going to hear all the powerful things that God did for Pastor Tom while trying to take his life! Tom found himself surrendering to the power of the Holy Spirit and giving all his brokenness to Jesus. A baptist, broken, suicidal preacher fell under the power of the Holy Spirit while the pistol was still held to his temple!

You don't want to miss not even one detail of this powerful story of redemption!

Dana tells her whole story for the very first time! No one had ever known about the abuse, rape, and pain she had suffered.

I met Dana through FaceBook. I had sent out a video of my story and she was moved by my testimony of what all Jesus had done in my life despite the abuse. Then I mailed Dana my book and told her to read the details and the Lord would start the journey of healing. So, she did. She kept in touch with me and I linked her to a good friend of mine who is a christian counselor. On top of counseling, she also does a weekend Selah Retreat that One Voice had sponsored for one of Dana's children. Eventually, Dana went to the Selah Retreat and the Lord opened wounds and closed them and He redeemed Dana and gave her back freedom in the spirit and soul.

Dana tells her whole story for the very first time! No one had ever known about the abuse, rape, and pain she had suffered.

You will be encouraged to hear Dana tell her story of how God put people in her life to lead her up to where she is now.

God has a way of turning your mourning into dancing, your sorrow into joy! He has a way of making beauty from ashes!

Listen to her full story! You will be moved with compassion! As you listen, see carefully the people that God put in her life to bring health to her soul!
