A Christmas background story you don't want to miss! Follow that Christmas star with me and get educated on the real meaning of why Jesus is the reason for the season! In this episode, we understand the importance of Jesus coming as a babe. He is not a myth or a far fetched Legend. He exists and came to fulfill prophecy and much more. Gods redemptive story is one that you'll learn to keep near and dead you your heart… literally!!! God desires to be near to us, and He did as he said!!! Love that for us! We journey through Mathew 1 and 2, John 1 and a detour through Exodus 33. Put some respekkkkttt on His name this Christmas!!!
A freestyle spirit-led episode of my one track mind lol Im flowing through the spirit talking about what is NOT fruits of the spirit so y'all stop walking in icky deception and that blasphemy…. we talk more on intuition, heart posture, more on fighting the good fight and not getting weary in that well doing! Galatians 5 and 6 gives us main insight for grounding today. Y'all are gonna stop being fooled by the “culture”, and other obvious and non obvious ways that are not Godly living or Godly praise. Hold on, I'm all over the place but I promise it's gonna make sense soon! Your future generations count on it!!!
Mic check 1-2…1-2…Here's some daily bread for you! Check your heart posture loves. Check it everyday and continue to do that spiritual cleanse to stay regular with your relationship with God! He loves you too much for y'all to continue to be led astray by the culture and your emotions. Get that discernment up, you can't have your cake and eat it too… it's un- healthy, and neither should your walk with Christ!!! We visit a contemporary Christian Rock favorite and draw inspiration from Psalms 47 !!!
The Part II for Doubt is Dangerous and more on your right now word for Kingdom Marriage!!! STOP DOUBTING!!! I have another prophetic dream insight where the Holy Spirit literally told me to stop doubting! We are in James 1 and really getting serious about our promises! Everything for you is within reach, and this recollection of faith and endurance will help you all throughout your life to not only help you, but inspire others!!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
So, I know I've been going hard on y'all for the past couple of weeks… And I just wanted you to say F.THINGS! today! Let's take a little walk with Jesus today and recover. That's it, that's the word we take an example from Peter today, through scripture in 1 Peter 1 and John 21. Take your break with me and let's do some more healing. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
So this is Refining FIRE!!! Dear brothas in Christ can y'all GET IT TOGETHER? Love, the women of God that love you. I'm just here to remind you that we are all designed to share in this struggle. You're not alone in this fight we are in this together. Men, if y'all are representing Christ through your work and toiling in Eccl. 9, then I'll show you just how euphoric this Prov. 31 wife is gonna be for you!!!!! So, Heigh-Ho, it's off to WERRKKK we go. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Straighten up and fly right!!! Kingdom Spouse Rhema Word! Take everything I present to you to God on how to proceed with your situation. This word is not for everybody!

You have to protect your future promises and adequately cover your future with the blood of Jesus! You have the authority! We look in scripture to 1 Corinthians 2 for serious encouragement… also with A message from the song Brand New Key! Let's get deeper so we can receive well, with no room for doubt!!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
**Bonus word**Today I was just going with the spirit (hence the freestyle!) . Who can go wrong with a sermon about psalms 23 ??? We're also taking musical inspiration from Chaka Khan, Forever Jones, Rihanna, Yolanda Adams and more! Come on this journey with me as we walk the tightrope of our faith through rings of refining Fire (kinda like a mixtape huh?) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
We got another Drake reference y'all lol What do you do when things get real in life? Like, Zero to 100 Real Quick?! What do you do when everything looks as though the light has been snuffed out, and the rug has been pulled from your feet? We read today about Gods perfect redemption story through Christ in Mathew 26-28. We learn that God can change the impossible in a matter of days!!! Glory be to God!!! Grab your Bibles, this rollercoaster of emotions is a bumpy one, but one of the most important lessons you will ever learn! To truly trust God in dead situations and walk in relationship with Jesus. The table has been set from the beginning of time, for you. Kirk Franklin cameos today with a very important question we all ask… Why do you cry? HE HAS RISEN! Gods not done with you. It's time to tell the impossible situation in your life to RISE! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Loosen up those belts, I got some Soul Food for you, some heavy hitting scriptures that stick like meat and potatoes!!! Next Hallelujah night, you may find yourself passing out scriptures with those candies…. It's time for us to stop cowering and infiltrate these dark places and activate our faith!!! Hebrews 11 gives us a summary of faith from the folks of old. Ephesians 6 gives us the covering and tools we need to fight. The time of war is now and we need leaders to get it together. With a quote from JFK on war, I'm feeding y'all real food to last. We don't surrender to demons! Cash me ousside!!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Today we do some verse hopping to bring it all on home, but a special message in Galatians helps guide us through dark moments. Especially coming for the neck of Long-suffering…. AKA… patience! They say patience is a virtue, but only the strong survive it! Let me tell you how to survive through Christ. In addition, we will be utilizing special lyrical quotes from Yebba's Heartbreak. I'm spilling all the tea today…So, just how does this Drake song and Galatians 5 matchup? Stay tuned and I'll tell you all about this heavenly fruit! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Wassuppppp! (do y'all even greet folks like that anymore?) Anyway, I'm BACK with another season, and we are immediately coming for the enemy's neck! Bc if you're not careful, casually scrolling on the socials might lead you into a rabbit hole of spiritual warfare and get you out of all sorts of alignment. As the Bible said there is nothing new under the sun, we learn just how relevant Genesis 3 is in our lives and the implications of trusting in these new things the enemy has tried to deceive us with today. As we rebuke the Enemy and his plans, let's get plugged back into the real source with God so we aren't walking around all butt naked and afraid!!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
***BONUS WORD*** I know season 2 is over but I had a special encounter with God this weekend and I had to share! Many of us need to be strengthened, and sensitive in the spirit… not so much our flesh, when it comes to rejection. Today we read in Mathew that Jesus Christ, even in showing his miracles and wisdom was rejected. I have a testimony for you all as well to share on this subject!!! Y'all get into this deep word. God has made your story so perfect, even through your greatest rejections! And though others may not believe in you, God does! He cares for you and hates when you are sad….We also have a special pop up verse from Ephesians…. Get into it y'all !!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Happy Easter weekend!!! Ok, It's the forreal, forreal finale for season 2!! We are on FIRE for God!!! Part 2 to Second Chances to rebuke the enemy and live a life free from false teaching!!! We learn a very valuable lesson from George Orwell's “Animal House” while backing that up with scriptures to walk in wisdom from Proverbs 21!!! Don't believe the hype, Issa LIE! You can only gain true Life through God, in his timing and with no manipulation on your part!!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Second Chances!!! Cia Michelle Closes out this podcast season with a quick word on Second Chances!!! You will be blessed by this word.

It's spring, and like many, I have been Spring Cleaning!!! Unbeknownst to me, God was downloading a whole word to me while cleaning out my closets. The pruning is real lol We will be in the book of John, getting our whole life, and I'll be reading a beautiful poem by Robert Frost that will also bless you. Learn to let go of baggage, so it doesn't keep you in bondage….. God wants to prune you from that baggage so you can be fruitful!!! Let it go sis/bro…. I'll tell you how !!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Urgent message for all that need RIGHT NOW ON TIME WORD!!! We take a few notes from 2 Corinthians 3 and 4 with our good friend, the apostle Paul, and we discuss just how important it is to be the light! If Ghandi said “be the change” God is saying “be my MIRROR!”. Stop following the polyamorous fast life of the god of this world and enter into true covenant with God of HEAVEN and EARTH!!! YOU ARE A MIRROR of the true God and he wants you know this, You are safe and you are seen… --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
This is a quick Valentines Day word for those that may be feeling the rejection this season.

The time has come to talk about, Kingdom Marriages!
