God's Plan for Living

Have you ever wondered why seasons of rest and unfruitfulness are not only necessary but divinely ordained? Join me, Matt Tommey, on this transformative journey as we explore the profound significance of spiritual rest. Drawing from Leviticus 25 and the wisdom of mentors like Ray Hughes, I'll share personal stories and biblical insights that reveal how constant productivity can actually hinder our growth. This episode is designed to help you embrace periods of dormancy without fear, showing how these times prepare us for future fruitfulness and realignment with God's voice.Get your copy of my best-selling book on the Kingdom of God, God's Plan for Living, and the accompanying devotional, Awakening to God's Kingdom Within, now on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Plan-Living-Roadmap-Kingdom/dp/B0BZ34CNFYhttps://www.amazon.com/Awakening-Gods-Kingdom-Within-Encouragement/dp/B0C9S7PH84Let's dive into divine transitions and understand why fallow seasons are pivotal in our spiritual walk. Reflecting on scriptures like Jeremiah 29:11 and Philippians 1:6, we'll discuss how God uses these moments to renew our minds and deepen our faith. Through the examples of biblical figures such as Noah and Abraham, we'll see the power of walking in faith even when we're armed only with a promise. Embrace the divine principle of rest as a critical component for preparing for the next season of favor and abundance. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that promises to equip you with the confidence and peace to navigate any season of your spiritual journey.

Drawing from my own personal experiences, this episode unveils my journey navigating through the crippling fear of failure that had taken root in my life. I reveal how I allowed perfectionism - a common manifestation of this fear - to dictate my actions and decisions. Through my struggles, I discovered that this fear can significantly entrench itself in our identities, causing us to deviate from the path that God has intended for us. But luckily, there is a way out! I share my process and how nurturing our minds, adhering to faith, and anchoring our existence in God's promises can steer us towards liberation.Unmasking the fear of failure, we discuss its various guises such as procrastination, perfectionism, and paralysis and how these can act as deterrents from God's plans for us. Rooted in Timothy 1:7, we are reminded of the innate power, love, and sound mind given to us by God, which can act as an antidote to the spirit of fear. As we explore the damaging effects of fear on our lives and how it instills confusion and instability, we realize the importance of placing our identities firmly in the Lord. This acts as a solid foundation, aiding us in breaking free from this cycle of anxiety and fear.Towards the end, we unveil a powerful strategy to combat the fear of failure - the five Rs: renew, rehearse, reinforce, resist, and rejoice. By implementing this strategy, we challenge the enemy's lies, co-laboring with the Holy Spirit to overcome fear and inadequacy. Join us as we pray for a breakthrough and encourage everyone to challenge their fears, question the lies they've been told, and embrace the truths that the Lord reveals to us. As we conclude, we hope that you feel equipped to conquer your fears and stride confidently towards the path God has laid for you.For more resources on experiencing the abundant life Jesus intended, visit http://www.godsplanforliving.com  tags:fear of failure, how to overcome fear of failure, fear,procrastination, perfectionism, renewing your mind, renew your mind, identity in christ, overcome fear of failure, fear of failure motivation, motivational, self-improvement, personal development, perfectionism and anxiety, perfectionism and procrastination, how to stop being a perfectionist, personal growth, breaking mental strongholds, christian motivation

Ep 011:  How To Tap Into Your Kingdom CreativityPodcast Number: 011Podcast Release Date:  06/16/2023 Podcast Description Everyone is creative.  It's not just the professional artists or musicians or authors or any other type of title you can put on a person.  It's everybody.  The thoughts we all think and the actions we take all come into being through God's gift of creativity.  This creativity can be a double-edged sword, though, because as much as our minds may create good things that lift us up, they can also drag us down with negativity.  Depression, anxiety, frustration, confusion, self-doubt, and other challenges in our minds can disconnect us from God's beautiful creative flow.   So what can we do about this?  The Bible gives us the answer:  transform our lives through the renewing of our minds.  In this episode of God's Plan for Living, I talk about why we need to be intentional about renewing our minds.  When you renew your mind, God works with you to transform your life, your actions, your state of being, to put you in a place to receive God's grace and participate in His Kingdom.  Take a listen to this episode to find out how you can get started renewing your mind today.  If you're looking for guidance on opening up your life to receive the Kingdom, you can buy my new book, “God's Plan For Living,” right here on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ4YL8YM ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my newest book, God's Plan for Living: A Simple Roadmap to Your IDEAL Kingdom LifeMost Christians want to live the abundant life Jesus promised - they just don't know how (and it's not for lack of trying!).

Ep 009:  How to Take Back Your Identity in Christ 06/02/2023Podcast Number: 009Podcast Release Date:  06/02/2023 Podcast Description When we think about what sin has done to this world, and to our lives, a lot of us get riled up to go out there and punch the Devil in the nose.  Gotta fight for what has been stolen from us!  Gotta take back our identity in Christ through the strength of our actions!  Let me tell you, exciting as that action-movie Christianity may seem, it's not real, and it's not necessary.  What we think we have to strive to win back, is already ours!  Christ already did the hard work for us.  He already won!  In this episode of God's Plan For Living, I talk about why we don't need to, and shouldn't, try to rely on our own efforts when it comes to claiming an identity in Christ.  I hope when you listen you'll understand that all we need to do is accept God's free gift by faith, and realize how much of a burden Jesus has already taken off our shoulders.If you're looking for guidance on opening up your life to receive the Kingdom, you can buy my new book, “God's Plan For Living,” right here on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ4YL8YM ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my newest book, God's Plan for Living: A Simple Roadmap to Your IDEAL Kingdom LifeMost Christians want to live the abundant life Jesus promised - they just don't know how (and it's not for lack of trying!).

Ep 008:  Are You Worried That God Is Disappointed In You?Podcast Number: 008Podcast Release Date:  05/26/2023 Podcast Description We all make mistakes.  We all mess up.  We all sin.  And when we do, it's easy to think that our sin will cause God to be mad at us, or at least disappointed.  Just like any parent, God wants us to follow the rules.  And when the kids break the rules, parents tend to get disappointed.  Fortunately, though, with our heavenly Father, things are a bit different.  Jesus' sacrifice on the cross changes everything.  In this episode of God's Plan for Living, I talk about how Jesus' sacrifice means we don't ever have to be worried about God ever being disappointed in us!  Of course, this doesn't mean we can just go around sinning all up and down the block.  But it does mean that God's grace is with us no matter what.  Take a listen! If you're looking for guidance on opening up your life to receive the Kingdom, you can buy my new book, “God's Plan For Living,” right here on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ4YL8YM ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my newest book, God's Plan for Living: A Simple Roadmap to Your IDEAL Kingdom LifeMost Christians want to live the abundant life Jesus promised - they just don't know how (and it's not for lack of trying!).

Ep 007:  Discovering God's Plan For My LifePodcast Number: 007Podcast Release Date:  05/19/2023 Podcast Description So many people struggle to figure out God's plan for their lives.  Short of Him speaking direct revelations to them, they just don't know how to discern what God wants them to do.  And that's totally understandable.  Truth is, most of the time God doesn't deposit a heavenly To-Do List in your lap.  You have to discover His plan in other ways.  Helping you figure out God's plan is at the heart of God's Plan For Living.  It's all about trying to connect you with your identity in Christ, your unique design, and the assignment God has for you.  To that end, I have compiled a few methods, techniques, practices, and things to look out for in your life that can help you discover God's plan for your life, and I discuss them in this episode of the God's Plan For Living podcast.  Take a listen and get ready to walk in God's plan for you!  If you're looking for guidance on opening up your life to receive the Kingdom, you can buy my new book, “God's Plan For Living,” right here on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ4YL8YM ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my newest book, God's Plan for Living: A Simple Roadmap to Your IDEAL Kingdom LifeMost Christians want to live the abundant life Jesus promised - they just don't know how (and it's not for lack of trying!).

For a lot of Christians, the Gospel is about salvation and only salvation.  Jesus died on the cross to save us from receiving the punishment for our sins - an eternity of separation from God in Hell.  Therefore, the reason to become a Christian is to be saved.  And once you're saved, you're just waiting for this wretched, sinful world to come to an end so you can finally enjoy the fruits of Jesus' salvation. I feel like these Christians, well-meaning though they are, are selling Jesus short.  His sacrifice is the source of our salvation, of course, but there's more to it than that.  With His sacrifice, not only are we saved from Hell, but we are reconciled to the Father while we're still here on Earth!  This means you don't have to spend all your time counting the days till the end comes.  You can spend your remaining days enjoying your relationship with God and living in line with your unique assignment in the Kingdom.  In this episode of God's Plan For Living, I talk about how the Gospel of the Kingdom is more than just the Gospel of Salvation, and how you can embrace God's design here and now.  I hope you'll listen and open yourself up to God's great gifts you can enjoy here on Earth, before the time comes for you to use the ticket to Heaven that Jesus bought you.  If you want to get a head-start on opening up your life to receive the Kingdom, you can buy my new book, “God's Plan For Living,” right here on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ4YL8YM ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my newest book, God's Plan for Living: A Simple Roadmap to Your IDEAL Kingdom Life.

We believers want to know the will of God, but at times it can feel unknowable.  Most of the time, God doesn't write His divine plan for you in big letters across the sky or have the angels sing it down to you in four-part harmony.  But that doesn't mean He isn't showing it to you. So what does it take to perceive, recognize, and discern the will of God?  Don't worry - you don't have to go to divinity school or get the Pope on a Zoom call.  But there are some ways you can prepare yourself to receive God's message through reading His Word, and even in contemplating the way He has led your life so far.  In this episode of the God's Plan For Living podcast, I share some techniques and actions you can take to open yourself up to receiving and understanding God's will for your life.  I think you'll find these are things you can start doing today and see a real difference in how you know the will of God!  If you're looking for guidance on opening up your life to receive the Kingdom, you can buy my new book, “God's Plan For Living,” right here on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ4YL8YM ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my newest book, God's Plan for Living: A Simple Roadmap to Your IDEAL Kingdom LifeMost Christians want to live the abundant life Jesus promised - they just don't know how (and it's not for lack of trying!).

Even good things, like helping your friends, visiting your family, volunteering, going to church… you may find that you're choosing to do these awesome things - but at the expense of doing what God is calling you to do.  How does this happen, and how can we overcome the distractions that keep getting in the way?In this episode of God's Plan For Living, I'll give you my thoughts on what the source of the trouble really is, and how you can reprioritize your life.  When you have the right vision for who and what God has uniquely designed you to be, no distraction will stand a chance!    If you're looking for guidance on opening up your life to receive the Kingdom, you can buy my new book, “God's Plan For Living,” right here on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ4YL8YM ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my newest book, God's Plan for Living: A Simple Roadmap to Your IDEAL Kingdom Life.  Most Christians want to live the abundant life Jesus promised - they just don't know how (and it's not for lack of trying!).

Today, the church is facing a real crisis.  It's losing members, it's losing enthusiasm, and it's frustrating believers to the point of despair.  And what's behind this despair that's creeping into the church?  I believe it's caused by the church focusing on the wrong things.  Instead of focusing on Christ's power to bring internal transformation to believers, so many churches are more concerned with external transformations - making sure everybody acts a certain way, even if they don't feel it on the inside.  Behavior modification.So is the church doomed?  What can we do to get back on track?  In this episode of God's Plan For Living, I talk about how you can be an ambassador to show God's people how to walk in the Kingdom - not just trying to “fake it till you make it” with external changes in your life, but truly being transformed on the inside by the power and presence of God.  If you're looking for guidance on opening up your life to receive the Kingdom, you can buy my new book, “God's Plan For Living,” right here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ4YL8YM ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my newest book, God's Plan for Living: A Simple Roadmap to Your IDEAL Kingdom Life.

For many of us, our church upbringings taught us that, once you've been saved by Jesus' death on the cross, you're just on your own until the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven.  Good luck and Godspeed! The problem is, people can get awfully discontent waiting for Heaven when they haven't been taught how to live the truth of God's Kingdom in their daily lives here on Earth. In this episode of God's Plan For Living, I talk about this Great Disconnect that keeps believers from walking into the freedom and abundance that Jesus died for.  I feel like this is a huge problem the church is facing right now, and I'd like to share with you some of my ideas on how we can overcome it.  Take a listen!   If you want to get a head-start on opening up your life to receive the Kingdom, you can buy my new book, “God's Plan For Living,” right here on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ4YL8YM ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my newest book, God's Plan for Living: A Simple Roadmap to Your IDEAL Kingdom Life.
