  • Ep. 35 How to Walk On Water

    This week on The Light Point Podcast, we're talking about how to walk on water, aka how to obey. Over the last few years, God has shown me that HOW you obey is just as important as IF you obey. Through the process of obedience, God transforms you and draws you into greater intimacy with him. This journey of obedience is modeled beautifully by the story of Peter walking on water to Jesus. Tune in as we explore how the impossible becomes possible when the God who controls the winds and waves steps invites you to be a water walker.


    Key Takeaways:

    1. Desire the instruction: look to Jesus and recognize him in the midst of the storm

    2. Listen for the response and hear the voice of God in the midst of the storm

    3. Move forward towards Jesus, not the destination

    4. Remind yourself who called you

    5. Keep moving

          In the season finale of The Light Point Podcast, I talk with Dr.Yeni Abraham about her journey of discovering her identity and authority as a daughter of the most-high God. Through trials, tests, and trauma, she has become a powerful and resilient woman of God who is committed to helping others live in physical, mental, and spiritual freedom. Today, Dr.Yeni is a wife, mother, minister, and entrepreneur, but her story didn’t start there. She has experienced God as everything from El Roi- the one who sees, to Yahweh Sabaoth- the God who fights her battles. Her narrative has been shaped by Ferocious Faith and relentless commitment to the goodness of God as she faced the pressures of being a pastor’s daughter, learning surrendered obedience, and battling with infertility. Dr. Yeni's story testifies to the undeniable power of God to make us more than overcomers by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. She is walking talking proof that God will take what the enemy meant for your downfall and turn it around for your God. I pray that as you hear her story and see God through her eyes a deeper dimension of fearless, ferocious, faith will be birthed in you
