"Prophecy is encouragement set on fire." Ps. Steve Backlund. It was a dream come true to have Ps. Steve on the podcast. Our belief systems undergird our hope levels so if we desire to be ones who live (and prophesy) with hope in our hearts and on our tongues, we must renew our minds to truth that sets us free! Ps. Steve is awesome an you're going to enjoy this episode thoroughly!

Luke 24:13-35 tells the stunning account of Jesus being revealed to the disciples, after his resurrection, when he dined with them at table. Verse 35 says, "... He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread." Here their eyes were opened to Jesus, the bread of life, and he is revealed as our healer in His body broken. This will encourage you greatly to seek Jesus, the healer, and be strengthened by Sarah's testimony of healing as well.

We have been entrusted with the commission to make disciples of nations (Matt. 28:19-20). What a magnificent yet weighty privilege. Carrying and being entrusted with God's holy heart for nations begins in the place of prayer as we stop for the one and believe for the multitudes. After all, nations are made up of people, and people are the most important thing to God!

Our thought life determines the course of our life because out of the abundance the heart the mouth speaks. There is a divine “Who told you that?” the Lord is releasing in this hour to His people that would dismantle the lie of the enemy so that you could go free in your thinking and live from His perspective; in truth. Rooted and grounded in the love of God, having your life hidden in Him, so you can live from His perspective. What you give attention to, will amplify its sound so give your mind to truth, according to Col. 3. Enjoy my friends!

There is an authentic, authoritative sound being released to the nations to awaken the Body of Christ in this hour to be mobilised for the harvest and reaping of souls. In this episode, Sarah paints a picture of where we are up to in God’s prophetic timeline regarding the nations of the Great Southlands (Australia, New Zealand the Pacific island nations).

I heard the Lord say, "I care as much about your attitude in the carpark as I do about your attitude in worship." In seems obvious but we often wait for a difficult trial or the storms of life to respond in faith. In doing so, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to set our hearts on Him daily and continue to come up higher, seated with Him in heavenly places. We are in a time of beautiful growth where the Lord is aligning, refining and growing us up into the things of God. Enjoy this edification of faith from Sarah.

Abide: remain, continue, to go on, to persist, to hover, to stand, linger, live. The invitation to remain and live out of the place of His presence is at hand. I believe there is a maturing taking place in the Body of Christ that calls us to live up higher, above the storm and from the place of sonship with Him. This year, draw near to God and His promise is to draw near to you. And then remain, with eyes up and on Him as His spirit enables you to live out of the overflow of the glory you were created for.

Who do you consider He who has promised to be? (Heb. 11:11) Be encouraged, as we enter into this season of celebration, He is enabling you, like a little child, to take Him at His word and only believe. There is a day of destiny upon us, run into it by faith!

You are called to live in the land of hope. This hope, as an anchor for your soul, enables you to become immovable and unshakable in God's great love for you. This episode will invigorate your soul to believe again and hope for tomorrow! Don't waste one more day on despair; hope is at hand! For more, go to sarahcheesman.com

We love to love Him! In this season the Lord is calling us to Himself in the place of intimacy and abiding. There is an anointing oil being poured out for demonstrations of the Spirit's power through you! What a delight and joy to know our Father's face in increasing glory so that all may know Him. Be sure to hang around to the end - it's a goody!
