ReWaken

Matthew 16:13-16,

"When Jesus arrived in the villages of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples,

"What are people saying about who the Son of Man is?" 

They replied, "Some think he is John the Baptizer, some say Elijah, some Jeremiah or one of the other prophets." 

He pressed them, "And how about you? Who do you say I am?"

Simon Peter said, "You're the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

Jesus invites us each day to seek Him in the secret place so that we, like Peter, can boldly declare the truth of who He is.

Our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, gives us access to God the Father and this access allows us to know who God is in our lives. Jesus invites each one of us to come sit at His feet and feast around His word. His word not only gives us delight but it also holds the power to change our lives. When we set aside time to read the word of God, we are actually positioning ourselves to hear words that have come from the very mouth of God. Knowing this, we should never treat our quiet time with God as casual readings to simply get our day going. Rather, we should open up the word with an expectation to hear from our Heavenly Father, as His Spirit illuminates the treasures and riches within the scriptures. This episode will encourage you to change your perspective of God's word, understanding that His very breath breathed the words you see on the pages and His Holy Spirit has all power to bring the revelation of those words into the depths of your heart, eternally changing who you are.

Thanksgiving invites God's joy and peace into our lives and guards against the habit of complaining. Can having a thankful heart give you a more fulfilling life? You bet it can. Thankfulness causes you to zero in on the faithfulness of God and it leaves you in constant anticipation of what He will do next. This episode will encourage and even challenge you to cultivate a habit of thanksgiving in your life. And who knows... Maybe if you count your blessings one by one, you will be surprised by what God has done.

Every human being on earth has been called by God to live an abundant life in Christ Jesus, His Son. But, too often we find ourselves living below the life Jesus actually died for us to have. Join Shelby Peterkin as she shares on being awakened to the Kingdom life God designed just for you.
