Refreshing The Soul

"They say" sticks and stones may break our bones but words will never hurt us.

 

But this word did...it stings...and it won't let you go. It repeatedly comes up in your soul and in your thoughts. You want to move on and get over the hurt...but it's hard.

 

I feel you and so does God! He wants to refresh us in the place we were offended and give us His perspective.

 

In this episode I give you 3 ways to combat that repeated offense in your soul:

 

👉Don't Dwell!

👉 Think Pure!

👉 Give Grace!

In this last episode of this series, we come to head with a common fear among many. The unknown!

 

This journey with God is filled with unknowns and if we don't overcome the fear of what we don't know and learn to trust in who we know, we will fall short of everything God has for us.

 

I don't know about you, but I want EVERYTHING God has for me. I believe the more we grip God's hand and choose to trust Him where we are blind, God will open our eyes more to who He is and who we are! There's more to you than you think, so let's overcome the fear of the unknown together to discover it!

Do you find yourself not showing up as your full self because you fear what people say or think of you? Or maybe there are opportunities you didn't take because you feared what you would look like to people. No matter what fear looks like in your world, this episode is for YOU!

 

In this episode, I break down what's really behind the fear of people and give you 3 things that God has given me to overcome this fear in our souls.

 

Listen to the end of the episode for Confessions for the "Fearful" Soul!

To trust is to be vulnerable, intimate, open and if we have experienced hurt in our openness we may have closed the place to trusting again.

 

To not trust is to hold everything on your shoulders. Fear is a heavy yoke to carry and Jesus doesn't want you to carry it anymore.

 

If that's you and you're ready to take off this yoke and pick up Jesus way of living, I have 3 words for you in this episode that God has given me to overcome this fearful place.

Pour

Perspective

Protection

Take some notes, pause and pray, be still in this place and hear what God has to say to refresh the fear in your soul!

Fear is a weapon the enemy uses to distract, deter and delay us from having all that God has for us. When we fear rejection, we will find ourselves compromising ourselves and the very expression of who God called us to be!

 

It's time to combat the fear that has been weighing in your soul and preventing you from being the best version of yourself! Tune into this weeks' episode to find out how these 3 words will help you overcome the fear of rejection:

*Peace

*Control

*Walk

 

There's a better, bolder, courageous you on the other side of your fears!!!

In this last episode in this series, we are highlighting Psalms 23:5-6 where David acknowledges that even in valley places where life can feel against us, God is preparing something great just for us!

 

Let's center our hearts and minds around the fact that God can still be safety, comfort and strength to us in the midst of dark moments. God doesn't want you to experience darkness, but He wants you to experience Him in it!

 

You have a home in Him. Live there. Don't visit or vacation there, but let's choose to live there!

In this episode we discuss Psalms 23:4 and how God is our protector in the face of fear and evil. His rod and staff, his guidance and protection is what gives us strength. When we realize and settle in our souls that we are the sheep and He is the shepherd, we can then allow ourselves to be guided and protected fully.

 

Don't let what you think is best for you guide you. Only the good good shepherd knows what's best. Tune in for your soul to be refreshed!

In this week's episode, we break down Psalms 23:2-3 and discover why we have to be made to lie down just as sheep. The rest our soul longs for can only be found in the One who created rest. This rest He gives restores our soul! 

 

What needs to be restored in you? 

 

Joy? Peace? A desire to love again? When we find rest in God, the seat of our emotions and appetites find rest too!

 

Lean in close, open your heart and receive the words of our God, who is our Rest!

One of the definitions of shepherd that sticks out to me is a feeder. The Lord is my feeder, I shall not want. The Lord is the feeder of our souls. Yes, He feeds us with food and clothes, but He also feeds us with strength, peace, love and direction!

 

What or who is feeding you? That is your Shepherd. God wants to be so much more than the "fixer" of our problems, but the feeder of our lives.

 

This episode will encourage you to look to God as your provider of everything. Because you have him, you have everything you need and you do not have to want.

Have you been singing the same worry song in your soul?

 

God wants you to sing to Him a new song, but it requires you getting rid of the old song you have on repeat in your heart and soul. What if...I can't...I'll never...This is too much...If only...

 

Choose today to sing a new song! God is! God can! God will!
