SEASONED

Most of the time we discredit the bearing our emotional needs have on our relationship with God. God says this week tap more into sources and areas that bring you joy and light.God says lay aside every weight that so easily ensnares you (Hebrews 12:1). So that you can be reconnected with Him.

Focal Scriptures Luke 15:8-10 and Numbers 14:3-9.

Weekly Challenge

What are the positive areas and positive sources that can you lean into this week that would further incline you further to stand and lean more into God's Word?

God challenges us to learn more into His Word for joy peace and happiness. Sometimes as we follow the promise of God it's not as rosy as we imagined. KEEP GOING YOU HAVE GOT THIS Let us be encouraged to take seriously the weekly challenges that I believe God gives they can change our lives.

Weekly Prayer

Heavenly Father in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth grant me the Grace Lord to tap in and hone in on the sources and areas of joy and happiness that will lead me to have a closer and more intimate relationship with you. Oh God may I find joy in my present season of serving in Jesus Christ Mighty Name. Lord as I find and as you restore joy unto my life may I be careful to give God all the Glory in Jesus Christ Mighty Name. Amen

When you tap and draw oil from a leader, you draw both negative and positive. Are you cognizant of what characteristics people draw from the oil from your head? God wants us to hone in and for His people to draw from the positive parts of you.

Whether you are a mom, a sister, brother or just an ordinary Sally. Sis, bro listen...one thing truth that we must embrace is that the older generation is passing down the baton to us to be leaders, in our homes, workplaces and anywhere where society and God needs us the most. THE OIL ON THE HEAD OF THE LEADER WILL BE FLOWING FROM US! WHAT ARE PEOPLE GOING TO DRAW FROM YOU ??

Focal Scripture this week :Psalm 133:13

Yes putting my faith to practice! Is it picturing yourself walking down the aisle, or rehearsing the day you get a big red bow type gift (wink wink). Let's break down Romans 4:17 and call the things that aren't as if they are.

Romans 4:17 (New International Version)

17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[a] He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.

This week join me as I share my vulnerabilities with this scripture, love, relationships as it relates to desires and sin. And as we en devour to dissect the book of James 1:14-15 :

14 Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. 15 These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

Join me and listen to the full podcast this week to see the challenge and prayer God has for us. Be blessed

Hey honey...in this week's word I attempted to do another random conversation but God ended up speaking. God has a purpose for you yes...but God is still concerned about you He still wants you. So often we are preached about the purpose on our lives, that we forget to tell or remind you that God is still all about you and not always about the job. Ok !

Lets Break this down in 2 Chronicles 20:31-37 (special markers on verse 32-33)

32 Jehoshaphat was a good king, following the ways of his father, Asa. He did what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight. 33 During his reign, however, he failed to remove all the pagan shrines, and the people never fully committed themselves to follow the God of their ancestors.

Focal Scripture (Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV)

12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.[a] Because of the joy[b] awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. 3 Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people;[c] then you won’t become weary and give up.

Weekly Challenge

Yo...what's good seasoned fam ? ( this is me tapping into my gen-z). No really though, how are we doing are still on our sunscreen game? How about the whole grain chips? Do you feel that just as you try to key-in on one thing you lose grip on another thing you were just locking into. Has the walk with God been feeling harder than before? That's because you are treading on a narrow Lane. On this week's episode God is encouraging us not to stress not to stop. You may not be perfect as you pursue purpose but keep treading on that tightrope.

Focal scripture ( Matthew 7:13-14 NLT)

13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell[a] is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

Prayer

Heavenly Father may You grant me Grace to remain and continue to be in Your will even as I navigate this narrow Lane. In Jesus Christ Mighty Name Amen

I mean that settles it seasoned family our new address is 2024 Narrow Lane.

Sometimes life and its obstacles present many challenges to us. Sometimes we persist through those challenges but the world gives us more reasons for us to turn back to our old ways, to turn back to the comfort zone. This week...join me as we merely touch the tip on Ruth 1.

When life says go back Continue with God, you have come so far and you are going so far.

Focal Scripture (Ruth 1:14-15 NIV)

14 At this they wept aloud again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.

15 “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back with her.”

Are you lost, feeling down, lost your fire, listen to this episode....God is saying no matter what you have done you are still His, no matter what you go through, you are still His.

There is a promise a word that God has spoken and decree over your life. Every single person has it .The question is, in the face of perilous and tough times and no matter what you have gone through this promise still holds.

1. What have you heard God say about you?

1. How many times have you heard?

Psalms 62:11-12 (ESV) Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work.
