April 16, 2020 44. All that Jesus Is, so Are We in This World
Jesus does not change and Jesus isn’t changing His mind about you.
1 John 4:17 says all that Jesus is, so are we in this world.
We have been given His righteousness, His peace, His power, His victory, His Spirit and all of His characteristics.
We also can be as unchanging as Him -- not tossed around by circumstances, suffering, other people’s opinions, or sin.
We can always be at peace and at rest like Jesus.

April 15, 2020 43. You Are Empowered by Presence
1 John 2 tells us it’s not the full truth to just talk about the truth — we can and should actually live it.
Every requirement of the old covenant was met through Jesus’s death, and through Jesus’s resurrection we received His empowering Presence to live in His fullness.
That means that every command and promise we come across in scripture should not cause us dread of missing the mark, but be seen as an invitation for upgrade.

April 14, 2020 42. Stop Thinking Like a Dead Person
Do you believe what God believes about you?
God isn’t dealing with your sin anymore because Jesus already completely dealt with it through the cross. Instead, God is focused on leading the new you into the fullness of all you inherited in Christ.
So, why does it sometimes feel like you are still struggling with our old sinful self?
Because sin is a memory. It’s a habit you developed when you were lost and without hope.
But now that you are dead to sin and alive in Christ, it’s time to unlearn what your old nature taught you and make new memories as the new you.

April 13, 2020 41. Good News! You Also Died.
The Bible says Christ died and was resurrected -- and you also died. Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too.
Think about the implications of this truth!

April 10, 2020 40. Catch Eyes with God
Have you ever known someone so well that when they catch your eye you know exactly what they are thinking or trying to communicate to you with no words?
What if we could have that same level of closeness with God?

April 09, 2020 39. Grieving with God
We don’t have to face pain like the world does, but we still need to face it.
I used to ignore pain and refuse to grieve because I believed it lacked faith. I also believed that if I acknowledged pain, I would get stuck in it forever. But the Holy Spirit led me to Matthew 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
I realized that it actually lacks faith to ignore pain because it implies that what I really believe is that God can’t heal me from it.

April 08, 2020 38. When Rituals Replace Relationship
We know from Isaiah 26:3 that the promise of perfect peace (which we all need right now) rests on trust in God.
But you can’t trust someone you don’t know.
With my routine violated by this pandemic, I made a shocking discovery -- I had been trusting in my rituals to be the things that transform me instead of God’s very presence.
The rituals may have helped me get to know more about God, but in His presence I get to know Him more.

April 07, 2020 37. A Creative Way God Speaks to Us
I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all formula for building a friendship with God because we’re all unique individuals (He made us that way). I believe He connects in unique ways with each of us, and often it’s never through just one way but many ways that God reveals more of Himself to us.
In this episode I share a creative way God speaks to us.

April 06, 2020 36. Deep Friendship with God
We don’t expect our human relationships to flourish through only head knowledge — only knowing about each other — so why would we expect our relationship with God to flourish like that?
I used to only seek to know more about God as if He were a divine specimen to be studied instead of seeking to know God more as a true friend.
In the midst of so much unknown right now, we can have perfect peace in knowing His nature, hearing His voice, and experiencing His presence.

April 03, 2020 35. COVID-19 was Nailed to the Cross
Every plan the enemy set up to take you out was nailed to the cross with Jesus. Jesus rose again, the power of sin did not.
Whenever tragedy strikes, accusations tend to arise saying it’s God’s judgement on us.
But that belief actually implies something horrendous about Jesus -- that He wasn’t enough.
There is nothing you can do to chip away or add to the finished work Jesus did through the cross.
Our Christian lives are not about striving to quench God’s wrath, but being receptive of the love He has freely given to us.
Jesus’s resurrection is your resurrection too. Leave your anxiety nailed to the cross and take on His total victory today.
