One Voice Makes A Difference with Janet Swanson

As a worship leader, the Lord has taught me so much about worship. It's more than just a song, but it's a life style. JS

Romans 12:1 (NABRE)

Sacrifice of Body and Mind.

I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship.

Hey you guys! Did you know that God is wanting to carry your burdens and lift you load? When you give your burdens, pain, and offenses to the Lord, the Bible calls it Spiritual worship!

I have felt the presence of God so close to me the past few days. I feel my heart bowing to the will of God that gives Him permission to do whatever He wants to do in my life. When you call Jesus "Lord" it means you set HIM upon the throne of your heart and you worship HIM from the heart in truth. Please my friends, take some time and listen to this week's podcast all the way to the end and I want you to ask yourself a very important question: Does God have all of me? Do I offer my body, my will, my ways to God as worship?

I think most people think worship is two fast songs and one slow song. Maybe you lift your hands at church while the music is going on and you call it worship. And YES…this is a part of worship, but there is so much more to it! Are you ready to dig deeper into this passage and find out what it really means to worship?

Reflection: Our worship reveals nothing about God . . . but everything about us! Praise (worship) to God reveals our level of likeness of nature (sanctification) with Him. It is what we have become by His transforming grace.

You guys, I am so inspired by this woman's testimony. She has been through so much. Today you are going to be so blessed by Tiffany's story.

She tells her story of near death experience from being hit by a car at the tender age of 7 while walking home from school. Then just a year later she experienced molestation by a close family member.

Tiffany being raised in church knew what it was like to have praying mom and grandma, but her pain eventually led to rebellion. Tiffany said, "I just kept thinking that there must be something wrong with me…." As most children think after being sexually abused by someone they love and care about.

Tiffany then became promiscuous and got pregnant. After about 3 months she had an abortion. Life just began to get worse! She experienced so much pain and loss after the abortion that led her down a road, spiraling for hell. Through a tragedy of losing her niece at such a ripe young age, Tiffany finally surrendered her heart to the Lord.

She was already in an abusive marriage and kept believing God for his salvation. But the abuse continued and the Lord led Tiffany out of that physical, and mental abuse. Now Tiffany is experiencing the Grace of God and His redemption power over her life. She said she has a hope in Jesus and she loves Him so much for all He has done for her.

She is now singing for His glory and let me tell you. This girl can sing. She has a set of lungs with such purity in her voice. If you'd like to get in touch with Tiffany, please reach out to me by email at [email protected]

Digging deep into the meaning of suffering, and you going to be surprised and enlightened to know what it really means! I want you to come and ride the wave with me of what it means to suffer.

I've been studying on the word "suffering" You know there are so many bible translations out there. But I'm so happy to have my GREEK and Hebrew Bible. Some people translate the word "tribulation" to "suffering" But......the root words are different.

In this podcast you will learn the different between the two.

The suffering of Jesus produces LIFE….FOR HIM, FOR YOU, FOR ME AND FOR-EVER!

It takes DEEP LOVE AND TRUST to persevere, AND ENDURE…TO push past the way you feel, push past what you see, push past what your circumstances are saying and still trust God by faith that He will come through for you!

Jesus became a sacrifice and he did it with a joy set before him because He is passionate about you and totally head over hills in love with you….

A sacrifice is something important or precious that is given up for the sake of gaining something or allowing something to happen that is considered more important

Now listen to this:

We KNOW THAT:

Tribulation produces perseverance

Perseverance produces character

Character produces hope

LOVE INVOLVES PASSION

PASSION INVOLVES SUFFERING

SUFFERING INVOLVES SACRIFICE

SACRIFICE INVOLVES WORSHIP

Love PRODUCES WAY MORE than you think Love….………… well…..it Suffers long….I Cor. 13:4 it is patient and this word is translated to suffering a long time.

You guys….God Gets the Last Word! Keep your eyes on the Lord, look up to HIM. I want you to know that you're not the only ones suffering such hardships…. The Bible says It's the same with Christians all over the world. So….we need to keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for YOU in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.

PETER WOULD KNOW….WOULDN'T HE: LET'S LOOK AT A STORY IN THE BIBLE ABOUT PETER.

When you get a chance go and read all of John 21 in the New Living Translation

What Jesus was really asking Peter was, "are you passionate enough about me to suffer for me? Will you preach my Word to everyone you meet, even if you suffer for it? Are you passionate enough to die for me?

The presence of LOVE, of God is here right now, and He wants me to tell you that HE is rejoicing over your life, and that He is passionate about you, and that HE is dancing over you with love songs of singing.

JESUS LOVES YOU! SAY THIS WITH ME: JESUS LOVE ME!

Have you ever stopped to think about that? He's passionate!

Have you ever seen someone who was "passionate" about something?

God is passionate about you! He never stops working for you. He never stops!

God SEES you! He sees what you are going through and I am telling you, His love WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE, if you open your heart and receive HIS FULLNESS of LOVE!

BELIEVE IT WHEN YOU SAY IT. WHEN YOU BELIEVE IT, IT BECOMES PERFECTED IN YOU!

Are you persuaded today? Are you convinced? Have you been affirmed in his love today? Because this kind of love will cast out the spirit of fear!

If you are being tormented with fear, then hear this, and open your heart today to hear what the spirit is saying! God loves you!

You may be saying, "I have never experienced this kind of love…..nor do I even know how to give it"

It's because you can't give what you have not received.

THE SOURCE OF RECEIVING THE LOVE OF GOD COMES FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT

Romans 5:5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

LISTEN TO WHAT THE LORD HAS TO SAY ABOUT YOU!

• For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken," says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
• I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. I will rebuild you, my virgin Israel. You will again be happy
• The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness: his mercies begin afresh each morning.
• Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you!
• But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
• For the Lord your God is living among you, He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs

Romans 8:31-39 New Living Translation

Nothing Can Separate Us from God's Love

31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won't he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God's right hand, pleading for us.

35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, "For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep. 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

All of your disappointments have led you to where you are now. You are called to join God with what HE is doing! And if He is doing something ABUNDANT AND MORE…then so will YOU! God has something MORE for you…something good in your life, in your destiny.

GOD WHAT EVER YOU HAVE FOR ME….LET IT BE TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD!

What has God said about you? and…most importantly………

What are you saying about yourself?

You need to come in agreement with what God is saying about you!

Because of Christ in YOU….. You have FAVOR in you!

You bring "something more and powerful" to wherever you go.

You are not asking favor to come to you, but you are walking with favor. You have dominion….all authority under heaven has been given to you.

GOD WANTS TO DO ABOVE WHAT YOU COULD THINK OR IMAGINE!

God is ready to blow your mind with what He's about to do. He will do exceedingly above what you can think, comprehend or imagine!

Maybe you're like Mary and you are asking…. HOW is this going to happen..

The angel told her the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT will come upon her and overshadow her!

That's my prayer for you today! That the power of the Holy Spirit will come upon you. I pray that He overshadow you.

Sometimes God will call you to do something that won't always be easy… It will be over your head or impossible.

Thus says the Lord of Host, the God of Israel who watches over every detail of your life, while all of heaven's warriors stand behind Him, they are equipped and ready for any battle that comes your way…….

"I know the plans I have for you…..and they are plans to prosper you, not harm you, plans to give you a future full of hope!"

The Lord, the Commander of the Army of Heaven is dispatching angels on your behalf to open doors, close doors, lead you on the right path, to protect you, to guide, to keep you from danger, and to cause all HIS plans for you to prosper…..His name is Adonai, the" Destiny-Maker" and right now HE is working behind the scenes of your life and He's working all things together for your good!!!

God has assignments for us. These assignments will turn out to be "seasons" in our lives. Seasons don't last forever, but God is in control of every season, and all our circumstances!

God is writing the story of your life. He writes the plans that He has for you by depositing dreams in your heart.

Jeremiah 29:11-14

11 For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

12 Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

13 And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

14 I will let Myself be found by you,' declares the Lord, 'and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you,' (Yaweh and Adonay the Circumstance Maker & the Destiny Maker) declares the Lord, 'and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.',

Yaweh will DRIVE you to make changes according to His Divine plan!

So, the question is, if HE is writing my story, what is He writing? What is He planning? What is God up to? We see in the Bible the wonderful plans that HE had for Joseph, David, Daniel, Esther and Habakkuk. And God has a plan for you, He has a mandate, an assignment over your life.

In this new season podcast…… I want to show you something about the Prophet Jeremiah and what the Lord was doing with His people and the plans God had for them. This will also parallel to YOU and me. He starts off in Jeremiah 29:4 "This is what the Lord of Host, God of Israel says"!

So when you see the Lord of Host, and God of Israel this is what it means:

Thus says the Lord of Host, the God of Israel who watches over every detail of your life, while all of heaven's warriors stand behind Him, equipped and ready for any battle that comes your way…The Lord, the Commander of the Army of Heaven is dispatching angels on His call as Elōhîm ("the circumstance-Maker"), directing all the physical scenes of history which are appraised by/Adonay ("the destiny-Maker) and working all things together for your good!!!

Many people have been asking WHY we left Statesboro! And the answer is in this podcast! LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE VERY END! YOU ARE GOING TO FEEL THE PRESENCE OF GOD!

Janet talks about the new things that God is doing!

Hey Friends

This week's podcast is different from all the others because of the content! I feel God wanted me to speak into your life these three things:

• God is at work all around you
• God is at work IN you
• God is working all things together for your good!

Sometimes God is at work right in front of you, but you can't see it because you've been spending time looking in the rear view mirror. God goes BEFORE YOU, he leads you FORWARD, not backwards.

I hope you are encouraged by this week's podcast!

IMPORTANT: I will be taking a month off to move, but I will be back in March 2023!

Hey you all! Today I believe you will be inspired by the Word of God. It is so powerful. You know, from time to time we ALL can feel "heavy" and "weighed down" by the trials of life. But this is why we have the Body of Christ, the Word of God and the sweet Holy Spirit! We can get through anything TOGETHER when we trust the Lord, AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

That is exactly what you all have done for me. I have been so moved by all the calls, the text, the financial gifts and prayers. You have been there and I believe the Lord is pleased with that!

Today, I felt like the Lord wanted me to tell you that HE is HERE for you, to lift all your heavy burdens and to STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOUR LIFE! You have a BENEFIT by walking in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. That benefit is to CAST YOUR ALL YOUR BURDENS ON THE LORD!

Psalm 68:19-20 New Life Version

Honor and thanks be to the Lord, Who carries our burdens (heavy loads) day by day. He is the God Who saves us.

Our God is a God Who sets us free. The way out of death belongs to God the Lord.

Jesus said it like this:

Matthew 11:29-30

(Take my Yoke upon you) (Follow My teachings) and learn from Me. I am gentle and humble in heart. You will have rest (inner rest, inner healing and inner peace) for your souls.

For My way of carrying a load is easy and My load is not heavy."

Psalm 138:7

Even if I walk into trouble, You will keep my life safe. You will put out Your hand against the anger of those who hate me. And Your right hand will save me.

THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD IS UPON YOU!

Did you know that throughout Scripture the right hand is used as a picture of strength and capability.

However, when Scripture uses the image of God's right hand, it is meant to be a picture of the pinnacle of strength and ability. It indicates his Provision, his Protection and Promise!

GOD wants to give you comfort in all your troubles. Then YOU can comfort other people who have the same troubles.

I hope you enjoy today's podcast! I would love to hear from you!

Today you are going to hear an incredible story about a lady who KNOWS what it feels like to be molested by a neighbor pedophile, never told anyone, kept it a secret, that eventually led to a lifestyle of promiscuity and abortion.

Paula was born & raised Macon GA. Immediately after high school she moved to ATL to attend modeling/fashion institute, but she had an ugly secret.

Although raised in church, she had never experienced the presence of God that led to a radical salvation at age 30. This encounter with the Lord changed everything!! Raped and molested at a young tender age was all swept under the rug. But Jesus looked under that rug and pulled it all out, including ABORTION! Now Paula is making the devil regret the day he ever laid hands on her! Paula is MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!!!

She came to Savannah from West Palm Beach paradise in 2008 at the invitation of former coworker to work at the Living Vine to show women how they can THRIVE past all the pain.

She held a 2-day strategy meeting in 2016 - inviting all in pro life ministries to come together! At that meeting she met Bridget VanMeans, president of ThriVe Nation.

Eventually, she opened ThriVe Savannah Feb 1, 2018.

Over 950 babies saved from abortion to date and in 2022, 332 have been saved!!! Paula is making a dent in the kingdom of darkness!

OVER 850 young women have prayed committing their lives to Jesus Christ! The Gospel has been presented 2,500 times, and over 1100 Bible have been given out!

Pastor Chris tells his story of hopelessness, false accusations, thrown in jail, turned into an alcoholic, and made his way back to Jesus and found HOPE again.

Today you are going to be so inspired. This whole month we are going to be emphasizing HOPE.

Proverbs 13:12 says that HOPE deferred makes the heart SICK ( weak) but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

This year I am praying that God will fulfill the longings that He has put in your heart. Along the way, as you come across a few "bumps in the road" I pray you remember Pastor Chris's Story of how God brought him through the hardest times of his life.
