Your flesh clings to its sin appetite out of desperate survival. But a heart once turned over to Jesus Christ is a heart forever entrusted to our Lord. On a very special Fruit of the Vine podcast, visit with your hosts Andrea and Ann Marie from the Charisma Podcast Network. They chat with Andrea's son-in-law José Colón as he discusses his season of trial during which the Lord showed him that he knew that he knew Jesus had been guiding his every step and every moment without ceasing, regardless of any season of pain or difficulty, since he gave his life to Jesus as a boy.

God is our Protector and Provider when we turn to Him and seek and accept His grace and ever-flowing abundant blessing. United States Marine José Colón is a protector, too, honorably and bravely standing in the gap like the rest of our military services ensuring our homeland remains free. But shortly after getting married and moving overseas to serve in Romania, José blew out his left knee. What would have been a routine ligament treatment cycle became a crisis of severe clotting and an extended hospital stay in a foreign country. But God's hand never left José for a single nanosecond. Without that uncomfortable visit to a Romanian hospital—quite different from the standards Americans are familiar with—José might have taken the scheduled airline flight back home for continued treatment, a decision that would have dangerously exacerbated his left leg's condition and certainly resulted in José death. God was honoring Jos�'s faithful prayers each day, eventually leading him to new levels of faith and freedom through Jesus. Our Lord exchanged Jos�'s "I need to handle it myself" mentality for the Holy Spirit's renewing grace and a new heart's ability to extend his hands and accept all of God's blessings.
