Rev Leon's Podcast

In the words of Kahlil Gibran, "For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?     Seek him always with hours to live."How do you value the time the time spent with friends? This is an important question.God bless,Rev LeonLuke 14:12

Instant gratification is becoming expected more and more everyday. We have come to want results as quickly as possible. We don't have that same expectation with respect to spiritual peace and ease. We want to be healed right away. We have very little acknowledgment of what God wants of us. Regardless of any circumstances, it must be realized that we are operating within God's time frames. That realization frees us up from unreasonable urgency. That provides great freedom.God bless,Rev LeonIsaiah 60:22Luke 6:17-19

We have been given an assignment. We are obligated to fulfill that assignment. When we become aware of how much in our lives we have to be grateful for, our assignments (who we are here to be for others), becomes clear. That awareness brings us closer to God. Getting closer to God is ultimately what it is all about. That is our collective and continual prayer.God bless,Rev LeonPsalm 138

Where do you find refuge? What is a safe-haven for you? At the same time, are you a refuge for others? We live our lives in the context of being and seeking safety. How do we reconcile that with our higher calling? Where is God in all of this?God bless,Rev LeonPsalm 71:1-6

An old friend was complaining about what how husband overlooked all of her gestures of generosity. She talked about all that she does, and he doesn't acknowledge much of anything. She said that the more she tries, the more he takes and goes on as if it is expected. It is her feeling that if she didn't do certain things, nothing would happen.When presented with a simple question, she found herself stuck for an answer. Are you giving to please him, change him, or to just love him? What is behind the giving?We all do the same thing. We say we love unconditionally, but there are strings attached that we ignore. Look into your heart and assess what is really behind your giving.God bless,Rev LeonPsalm 19:14

How would you evaluate your primary bond? How much currency do they hold in knowing you and you in turn, knowing them? Where are the areas of concern? What is your language of love? Consider using a protocol of steadfast love that is invoked, no matter what. That is what steadfast love looks like.God bless,Rev LeonPsalm 36:5-10

What does it mean to live a life of substance? Ghandi was quoted as saying, "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."As a Christian, that is a call to action. To be a Christian is to be Christ-like. To be a Christian is to know that you were created to do good works.God bless,Rev LeonEphesians 2:1-10

Happy New Year.What is to unfold in this new season? The past two years have served up a number of challenges. You have been spared for a reason. Could part of the reason be for you to be co-creator in a forming a new season? What from you past needs to be relinquished in order to fully engage in this new year of 2022? Crafting a new season is different than a resolution or a promise for new outcomes. Does your plan consider God's plan elements? Does your plan empower you? Does your plan reflect God's highest and best wishes for you? We who have been spared as co-creators of this new season. Thank you God for this assignment.God bless,Rev LeonEcclesiastes 3:1-8

What did you get for Christmas? Isn't that the question of the day? It is not about the gift as much as it is about the gift to and from Spirit. God bless,Rev LeonColossians 3:12-17

Can you relate to having a strong sense of anticipation? What is it like to anticipate a great unfolding in your life? What do you think it was like for Mary when she was anticipating the birth of Jesus? One can only imagine. Her anticipation and expectancy is what we can experience with Christmas coming. The gifts are nice, and the presence of the Holy Spirit is even better. God bless,Rev LeonLuke 1:41-55
