What Do You Do When You Don’t Agree With Someone’s Beliefs? Part 2

Every day, We see hate speech–on all sides. We see disagreements over big things and even over the simplest things. We see people argue over differences of opinion as if our lives depended on it (and sometimes it does). Even among Christians, we see this behavior.

But, this is not the way Jesus meant for believers to live. He taught us a better way.

How to Navigate the Storms of Life Using This Simple Tool part 3

We’ve all been through storms and trials in life. Maybe you’re right in the middle of one right now?

Over the last few posts we’ve been talking about how to believe God that we’re really going to make it to the “other side” during these storms. We’ve learned that as we “listen,” God’s persuasion, God’s faith is birthed in us.

Because it takes listening for this faith to develop, we’ve been learning the skills we need to develop our ability to listen.

Today, we’re going explore “Listening” skills to birth God’s faith in us to will help us through the hard places in life.

Why Don’t See Answers To Some Prayers?

Have you ever prayed for something and didn't see the answer and you've wondered why?

Unanswered prayer one is tough for most people.

I know I’ve waited a long time on some prayers. And, I’ve had others that didn’t seem like they were answered. 

There’s a lot of factors involved. And some things we just won’t know this side of heaven.

But, I am certain of this...

How to pray and be heard

Last time we talked about going to God in prayer with everything, in every circumstance and every situation. We worked on making it a habit so that whenever something comes up, we go to our Heavenly Father first.

Some of you may be wondering, “What should I say when I go to God in prayer?” “Does He really hear me?” “Is He going to actually answer my prayer?”

Let’s address some of those questions shall we?

Before we begin, I’d like to share a key scripture with you that changed the way I thought about prayer.

Can I go to God about everything? Or, can I only pray about things He cares about?

Can I go to God about everything? Or, can I only pray about things He cares about?

Are you anxious right now? Are you worrying about something or lots of “somethings”?

Our Heavenly Father doesn’t want us to be worried and anxious. In fact, He’s instructed on how we can handle that anxiety or worry.

Philippians 4:6 Amplified Bible (AMP)

How To Pray Prayers That Get Heard And Answered

So, what’s another way we can spend time with Jesus–abiding in the Vine? I think, for most of us, our first thought is prayer.

What is prayer?

Prayer is talking to God. It’s how we communicate with our Heavenly Father. It’s how we connect with the Holy Spirit and access His power in our lives. It’s another way we spend time with Jesus.

For so long, I’ve struggled with this one. I’ve typically been good about reading my Bible, but prayer always seemed so much harder for me to grasp. I don’t know if it’s because it can “feel” intangible? I can’t touch God, but I can touch my Bible.

The Christian Woman’s Foolproof Way To Bear Fruit

Have you ever said, “’It’s such a struggle to be a christian? I never seem to fix my issues.’? ‘I’m suppose bear fruit, but it feels like I go one step forward and two steps backward.’”

I’ve experienced that feeling most of my adult life. 

However, our Heavenly Father doesn’t want us feeling that way. He’s actually provided a simple, foolproof way for us to bear fruit.

How you say?

Where's My Murphy's Repellant? Living The Life We We're Meant To Live Part 2

Where's My Murphy's Repellant? Living The Life We We're Meant To Live Part 2

Last post we learned that, “joy is an outward sign of inward faith in the promises of God.” (Tommy Newberry– The 4:8 Principle) and that joy is not an emotional phantom floating in and out of our lives. We can choose to be joyful because joy is not based on our circumstances.

Well, if that’s the case, how do we go about walking out this joy filled life – this walk of faith in God’s promises? How do we change our marriages, relationships, or feelings of hopelessness? How do we tell Murphy's Law to take a hike? How do you walk by faith?
