Pressed Not Crushed

Hi there!

Today we talk about the four stages of disappointment and how to handle it.

Season 2 

Here I give you an update on my time away. Also how I came to the realization that yea God made the promise but He holds sovereignty...always.

We truly live at the mercy of our ideas; this is never more true than when our ideas are about God"- David Willard.

What happens when those ideas are not about God and we are paralyzed by limiting beliefs? Do you have the right weapons? Or are you stepping into a ring to fight an enemy when we should be calling upon our Saving Grace.

2 Corinthians 10:4 We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

Forgiveness is not an option but a mandatory requirement to be a follower of Christ. We are called to forgive as the Lord forgave us. Harboring pain leads to bitterness and we can be fruitful and useful in the Kingdom of God without a healed heart.

In this show we will acknowledge pain for what it is and talk about 6 things that will help you to move forward.

Colossians 3:13  Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

Failure is a given whether you are Christian or not. Sometimes as Christians we allow the fear of failure stop us in our tracks. The mature Christian knows that failure is not a smear but a learning opportunity and focuses on moving forward.

Find out how in 4 ways.

Romans 8 :37  No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

When it comes to purpose, God never aligns things up perfectly. Start where you are. Are you spiritually lazy?

1 Samuel 17:40  He picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them into his shepherd's bag. Then, armed only with his shepherd's staff and sling, he started across the valley to fight the Philistine.

People will define you based on where they met you. If you are not properly anchored, you'll begin to believe them. The fear of "not good enough"

2 Cor 3:5  It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.

How has the fear of "they" stopped you from walking in purpose?

So to pacify the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He ordered Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip, then turned him over to the Roman soldiers to be crucified.  Mark 15:15
