I’m asking the question today does God have you hidden or are you hiding yourself? Often times we hide who we truly are because we are ashamed, we’ve done too many bad things, or afraid to let the world know who we really are. But if God has you hidden it’s because he’s trying to show you the anointing, the favor in the calling that he has on your life. If you’re hiding yourself it’s because you’re afraid of the vulnerability, you’re afraid to speak your truth or your afraid of judgment. God is trying to work some thing amazing in your life but if you’re hiding yourself it’s time to come out of hiding. If God is hiding you it’s time to pray harder, believe bigger and speak life over yourself, your family and your situation.

Sometimes in life we find ourselves hoarding past emotions, pain, hurt and sometimes even materialistic things. Today I want to talk about letting go of the hoard so that you can become all that God has created you to be!

Today I told a story about my grandfather a man that I truly honored, loved and looked up to. I often times find myself asking what advice would my grandfather give me in particular situation. What would he tell me and would he be proud of me. We’ve gotten the opportunity to spend time with one of my great aunts and I feel like I heard my grandfather speaking through her in so many ways. And in those moments I knew that it was God sending a comforter but also nudging me to do the hard things in life that sometimes we don’t want to face. So let’s talk about the story and what Jesus says.

As we see our world in shambles around us are we seeking God for wisdom! Are we doing the hard things for that day he calls us home? This is a very uncomfortable message for me but it’s the hard things that need to be said!

I think this is a beautiful message today! Because sometimes we get so immersed in the things that are not happening in our lives that we forget to be grateful and have continued hope for what God is trying to do in our life. When we get into the moments of discomfort, grieving and sadness from what is not taking place in our life I encourage you to look back on all that God has done for you. All the things he’s brought you from, all the breakthroughs that he’s done in your life, and just say God I’m thankful and grateful and I’m going to have hope that you are working something out in my life. Today choose to be grateful in the season that you are in.

Have you ever felt like you’ve had it all together and then here comes a moment when God says it’s time to pivot. When you have to be vulnerable in ways you’ve never had to be vulnerable before. Maybe you have to believe in God for things you’ve never had to believe in him for, but he saying on the other side of that pivot is true beauty. Stop masking the things you don’t want people to see because your not alone and what you see as beastly things now is actually the very thing that will bring true beauty!

Today I’m coming out of the book of Jonah! Do you ever feel like God has put you in the belly of the whale? Do you feel like the storms around you were raging because maybe you’ve gotten off course. Maybe God is trying to shake it up in your life so that he can lead you into the abundance, favor and purpose that he has for your life. I want to encourage you today to stay the path because God has so much in store for your life.

Do you ever feel like you’re in a full circle moment? In those moments when we feel as if we’ve been here before it’s just God restoring some thing in your life so that he can re-create something much more beautiful. Don’t get discouraged in the valley or in those moments where you feel like you’re in the same place again that you were previously because God says I’m working on some thing and I’m re-creating something much more beautiful!

I’ve talked about vision, I’ve talked about healing And now let’s talk about growth. God created the foundation of our life and over the years it gets a little cracked, it’s a little uneven But even in those seasons God is still growing you. Although we can plant and we can water God is the one who gives growth. Are you trusting him in your growth season? Are you trusting him in the storm and when things look hard? Let’s talk about the gross season today!

This podcast is not the normal podcast that I would do! But God put it on my heart and he’s been showing me in various situations concerning other people that if we refuse to deal with the root cause of our pain, trauma, addiction or hurt that we can’t heal and be all that he has called us to be. In fact all of these things are like a wound on our skin. If we don’t take the necessary measures to heal the wound we will eventually knock the scab off and it will bleed all over the place. It’s no different in our lives if we don’t deal with all of the things that we are holding on to God can’t give us vision and he can’t fulfill his purpose in our life because the purpose that we have is based on the things that he has brought us from. So today I hope this podcast touches the ears that need to hear this because you are worthy of being whole and being healed.
