Everything happens in God's timing. He will lead us to something and often we have to wait for our next steps. BUT in the meantime, don't wait around. Go do the work. Be sharpened. Ask God to search your heart, to refine you. So, in a way, while you wait for God's timing on what he is calling you to, don't wait and do nothing. Witness about Jesus. Learn the things ...

Micah 6:8 ESV
“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”

As humans, we want all the creature comforts. As Christians, we don’t stop wanting that and we know what our God can do. He can take our pain and He can heal any of our sorrows. But often we need the pain. Pain sometimes helps us; to be alarmed to a problem in our bodies, to help us through emotional sorrow, or to refine us. What we go through grows us and allows us to have...

Full surrender comes from trusting God. Our obedience of what the LORD is asking of us shows God that we love him. Not obeying God completely, is not being truly obedient.
“Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. The one who doesn’t love me will not keep my words. The w...

Melissia and Christina talk about God‘s provision and putting their trust in Him. Sometimes we try to take control of our lives and the situations we are in rather than letting God take care of us. We want to keep our worldly comforts, but God often calls us to more so we will rely on Him more fully. He always has something better for us than we could ever plan for ourselv...

God often calls us to things that we are afraid to do or we just plain don’t want to. Melissia was feeling led to speak about the rebuilding of the temple in the book of Haggai. When God‘s people finally surrendered in obedience, they were able to feel a fullness and joy from God. Christina talked about that same surrender God’s servant Job had when he lost his whole famil...

Baptism is the outward expression of faith. It’s your Testimony! We are not saved with baptism. We are saved only with the blood of Jesus! We are then sealed! The Bible talks about the importance of baptism, and we should be obedient to that. However, only our faith in Jesus will save us. It’s Jesus! Only his blood, his perfect sacrifice. Praise God for His grace and giving...

The greatest gift is Jesus! We get the spirit of God to dwell in us being our guide. We are HONORED with the opportunity to share the greatest gift WE can give to another person, the gift of sharing the gospel! Praise God for trusting us to be part of His message!

God’s plans for us are beyond our scope. It’s hard to know why we are going through the things we are. While we are still in the midst of it, it’s especially hard to know of what good is going to come from it all. We have to know that God sharpens us and He uses all things for His glory and for our good. We need to let our suffering get us to the point of where God needs us ...

In the book of Ezekiel it talks about leaders who were benefiting from those who they were to care for. The people they were to lead. They were not taking care of the sick, the poor, the lost, or the hungry. God calls us to love one another. We have to be taking care of each other.
Ezekiel 34:1-10 ESV
“The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, ...

When we are thankful we don’t have room for worry. God did not wire our brains that way. Being thankful in prayers and remembering who God is and what He has done and can do strengthens our faith. Faith is everything! Faith is our salvation. Faith is how we have healing. Through faith we do God’s works. Our trust in God comes from having faith. We must have faith! We grow i...

Teaching comes with great responsibility. The Bible talks about how people will be held to what we teach others, especially when it comes to children. Jesus says in Matthew 18:6 "but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." <...

We had our first speaking engagement! Oh, how we were blessed! It was a great event and we are in awe of the fact that God used us for this. We were able to hear from women who were talking about the battles they were going through. How they could relate to the message we were giving. We prayed so hard for the Holy Spirit to speak through us and boy did we see God moving! We...

We are not the ones who were called to convict others! We are called to love. We, as Christians, are to keep each other accountable, but God does not want us to attack each other for our choices. We let God do the convicting! The Holy Spirit will start working on us for our own refinement. It’s not the same for everyone. Some may be conflicted of something you are not. We a...

To paraphrase Lysa TerKeurst, who said it well, “The gap between our expectations and reality is where our disappointment lies.” It’s natural to expectations in life and have a picture of how things are supposed to be, but when those things don’t happen we get disappointed. We as Christian’s need to remember God knows the plan better than we could begin to imagine it. We nee...

The question in our hearts should always be, “What is God asking from me”. Sometimes that means, what is he asking us to give up. Christina was contemplating this in this episode. She was feeling a personal conviction to not celebrate Halloween anymore. Now we are not saying you should do what she is doing. We are saying God calls us in different ways and convicts us in dif...

We all try and find our worth in worldly things or achievements at some point in our lives. Often people will search after success in a secular way. I’ve been there. Do I have a good enough job yet, do I make enough money, have a husband, a home? These things can all be great but we will never get true fulfillment from these things. Only from God can we get that fulfillment...
