Rosalinda Rivera's Faith-Fuel Podcast

Proverbs says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” We  are in the presence of a holy, just, and almighty God who is to be taken seriously. I want you to know that when God sends you and gives you an assignment, He will go with you all the way. Do you fear Him enough to obey? Respect Him enough to follow His direction? That fear is where wisdom has its beginning.

The enemy would want nothing more than for you to replay every bad thing you ever did in your life. If you recall your mistakes and are trapped in the pain of it, God has a reminder for you: If you surrender to Him, He says, I'll take away your sin. I'll make your life new. I'll restart you and restore you; hope will overflow, and your life will be filled with joy!

Host Rosalinda Rivera admits, “I began to let anger slip in my heart, and I didn't know how to get my joy back. But I wanted to feel God again. And I would see people come to the altar and I would see them pray and God was giving them a breakthrough and I wanted that so bad in my life.” If you have suffered trauma, or troubles with family, work, addiction, Rosalinda wants you to know that God has a plan for your life. “You might not understand what you're going through right now. But I want you to know that God is aware of you and He has a plan for your life.”

Are you feeling stuck? The enemy would want nothing more than for you to stay in your pain, your conflict, your unforgiveness, but your Father desires to pull you out of that pit and put your feet on a rock.

If you have ever felt overwhelmed, instead of running to unreliable, ungodly sources for help, remember that the Lord is your hiding place. It's in your hiding place where you receive a surge of power to overpower the overwhelm.

When the body of Christ comes together in clear agreement, visible unity, and extraordinary prayer —That is what is going to cause the next great awakening.

Rosalinda Rivera continues in Judges 6-8 with Gideon’s story of winning against all odds.

Rosalinda Rivera is in Judges 6 in this series on Gideon’s example of trust and obedience. At first look, Gideon is unimpressive; then when he is outmanned and outgunned, he chooses to trust God and abandon his tactical military experience. Gideon teaches us that every experience is a test, and every trial is tailored to draw us close to God.

Do you beat yourself up when you mess up? The Bible says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). If you blew it, you need to repent, shake it off, and get yourself back with the Lord. Do not let the weight of sin separate you from God’s presence. Stay connected and committed.

On last week’s episode, Rosalinda Rivera highlighted a few lessons from the book of James. Let’s continue what we started and see the power in our words and our thoughts. “God has big things for you. He's got great tomorrow for you. He’s prepared new connections and provisions. So, whatever the enemy tries to take from you, know that God's going to return it or replace it with something greater if you submit your ways to Him!”
