Walking in Faith and Freedom with Frances Vela

In today’s episode we look at John 10:11-15, where Jesus is saying that he is the good shepherd… 

What does that mean for us? We look at four things that a shepherd does for his sheep, and what we could expect for Jesus to do for us.

I hope you are encouraged with today’s message!

In this episode, we look at a story in 1 Kings 19. Elijah had just slain four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, called down rain from heaven.. and now is running for hiding in the wilderness from Jezebel. 

I highlight some practical things that we can do to help combat our own anxious minds and a reminder of how God calls us not to worry, because He promises to take care of all of our needs.

In today’s episode I am highlighting a few more things from our talk last week looking at the life of Joseph. 

I am convinced that Joseph was able to see God’s goodness because he determined to not get bitter about his life’s circumstances, but instead he was able to recognize that God was still sovereign and able to do what he promised. 

Are you dealing with feelings of bitterness or unforgiveness? Maybe you are just tired of the mess…  Well friend, I have got some great news for YOU. God can make your mess into HIS message of hope… if you are willing to release the past and trust Him with your future.. He will bring IT to pass. He is still good, and He is still GOD.

In this episode, we take a look at Joseph’s life. Betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, thrown into prison for something he didn’t do…and then, after YEARS enduring these hardships, he finds favor with Pharaoh and is placed as ruler of his palace.

One of the things that I love about Joseph is that although he suffered so much, he trusted that God was still in control. He didn’t allow himself to become bitter, even though there is no doubt that the wound of his brother’s betrayal hurt deep. Family wounds cut us like no other, and they have the ability to make us bitter if we allow it to.

BUT GOD, is not done with your story yet my friend. Give him your hurt and disappointment. Allow Him to give you a fresh perspective and see how He can turn things around for you as you commit your way to Him.

Does Father's day bring up any icky emotions for you? 

Well you aren't alone. Holiday's like these can stir up so many different emotions, it can be tempting to just stay busy and distracted in order to ignore the nagging hurt in your heart.

This is just a quick word to encourage you to lean in to God. He is a perfect father, who loves you unconditionally, who will never leave you nor forsake you, and who has a good plan for those who put their trust in him.

In today's episode I am sharing a quick, but impactful story found In John 5, where Jesus asks a man you can been sick 38 years if he wanted to be made well. 

We all have to choose whether we are going to allow our hurts, disappointments and traumas define us or whether we are going to RISE up and let God be God in our lives. He is the great Healer, He is a good father and wants to do a miracle in YOU. Will you rise up?

In this episode, I expound a little more on what a victim mentality looks like and how it could be showing up in your life. The truth is, without recognizing this stinkin' thinkin', we can't do anything about it. Once we can identify the areas we may be operating from a victim mindset, we can combat those thought pattern with the truth.

The best way to combat the lies that we may be believing about ourselves, is with the truth of God's word. I'm sharing how they can be showing up in our lives as well as some scripture versus that will encourage you in your journey.

I also mention these two resources that have helped me in my own healing journey, and you may find it beneficial as well:

In this episode I am sharing a little bit of my childhood trauma and what I believe was a huge factor in getting me to where I am now in my healing journey.  

Childhood trauma is so tricky, especially when we don't remember details, or when we think we are "over it" until something triggers us sends us spiraling. That is what happened to me, and I am so thankful that I found support at the right time. I hope that by sharing part of my journey, you will be encouraged to know that you are not alone. I believe that God desires to partner with you to heal those areas in your life that need healing. 

If you find yourself in a dark place, know that there is help. Reach out to a trusted friend, or seek out professional support.

Today's episode is filled with encouragement about how God desires to walk WITH us as we walk into the NEW things that He desires to do in and through our lives.

If you are anything like my daughter (and myself), then no doubt you have found yourself trying to do things on your own, without God's help. We have ALL done it! But God is so gracious in calling us to lean into his strength and provision in order that we may fulfill everything He has in store for us. This episode is an invitation to trust God in a deeper way, as He desires to lead you in every season.

I hope you are encouraged by today's episode!
