Episode 47: Holy Spirit Power

As a believer walking with the Lord for 15 years, I diligently studied my Bible and prayed every day, earnestly following God. And yet I was almost completely blind to the power and authority we have available through God’s Holy Spirit. I didn’t understand my identity in Christ.

I unwittingly put God in a religious box and reduced Christianity to a set of rules. What I’ve discovered has changed my life and if more believers were awake to it, could change the world. This is huge!

Episode 43 Does God still do miracles?

My recent trip to Malawi, Africa left a strong impression on me. An impression that’s been hard to express in words. When I came home, I was so happy to see my husband, pet my dogs, and hug my grandbaby. I was grateful I could turn the water faucet as cold or as hot as I wanted.

Episode 40: Breaking Cycles in the Bible

When I reflect on the term cycle breaker and what it means to me, the following bible verse comes to mind: For you know that your lives were ransomed once and for all from the empty and futile way of life handed down from generation to generation. It was not a ransom payment of silver and gold, which eventually perishes, but the precious blood of Christ—who like a spotless, unblemished lamb was sacrificed for us. (1 Peter 1:18-19 TPT)
