Rev Leon's Podcast

It is so easy to criticize others. There are times when a few folks get together and gossip about someone and the group gets a kick out of such an exchange. How easy it is to jump on that bandwagon and bring others down. Plus, it is so much more fun in a group. But what about you? Where is the reflection about those things in all of our lives that need to be addressed? Who among us is free from blame or criticism? Who among us is perfect? We keep secret those things that we know make us subjects of criticisms so that we appear to be above the level of those whom we critique. If the truth be told, perhaps we are even worse than those whom we judge.It is time to be honest with ourselves and the world. It is time to transform our lives such that we can have an authentic existence without the pretense of being better and without the fear of being discovered or “outed.” That is the beginning  to having the authentic life that God has designed for all of us.God bless,Rev LeonMatthew 7:3-5

As we know from the story of the death of Christ, Jesus was betray by Judas for 30 pieces of silver. Do you ever think about how you might be betraying yourself? What form does Judas take in your life? Upon reflection, you may be surprised.God Bless,Rev LeonJohn 20:31-47

Just as water reflects the face; the face reflects the heart.Where is the heart with respect to who we are and how we relate to the world and each other?Take a little inventory and assess what you are reflecting.God bless,Rev LeonProverbs 27:19Genesis 2:18

Where two or more are gathered in God's name, God is there also.There is nothing more powerful than the power of a group of like minded people. This power is heightened when the group is gathered in the name of God. It is important then to realize that there must be preparation for the presence of God to be in that gathering. Are you prepared to be in the presence of God? Are you gathering with like minded, God centered people? Are you ready to live as an expression of God's intention? This is your time and God is calling.God blessRev LeonMatthew 18:19-20

If hurt people hurt people, why would we look to them for healing? If people disappoint and God heals, why would we look anywhere else other than to God for healing? The story of Jeremiah is a powerful lesson to that end. God is our source and our salvation.God bless,Rev LeonJeremiah 15:15-21

We often hear the phrase, 'if they knew better, they would do better.' That being the case, there is substantial evidence to support the premise of willful misconduct. Putting that aside, we know better and what we may not be operating with in our awareness is how much more is available to us in doing better. If we put aside that willful neglect, we can align with greater fulfillment in our lives. The we will see the better that we deserve become available and unfold.God bless,Rev Leon

We often confuse our gesture of forgiveness as releasing an actor from judgement. That type of forgiveness is left to the courts. Spiritual forgiveness means that I give up any harsh feeling against the actor and will not seek vengeance. I am releasing my right to carry ill-feelings toward that actor. As a Christian, forgiveness is required, it’s not optional. When I don’t forgive, I am not able to allow the presence of God to occupy my spirit. That’s what makes it a requirement.God bless,Rev LeonGen 45:1-15

Have you ever spoken something into existence? Have you ever seen the alignment of your heart match your words and suddenly, things start to happen? There is a power that you have to literally create with your speaking. This creative power becomes even stronger when we learn that the true power is co-creating with God. Then things really start to happen.God bless,Rev LeonRomans 8:5-18

Ever wonder why you may have sleepless nights? Ever wonder who or what is keeping you up? What is it like to wrestle with the devil. When dealing with challenging circumstances we are in a wrestling match to overcome those hurdles. It is important to know with whom you are wrestling.God bless,Rev LeonGenesis 32:22-31

Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to you Lord. Psalm 19:14What if you were taken literally for every word you spoke? How connected are you to your spoken word? There is clear inauthenticity related to how we communicate with others. When we align our spoken words with our heart centered words and add authenticity, we learn that God is willing and ready to fulfill our goodness.God bless,Rev Leon1 Kings 3:5-12
