To The Nations With Love Podcast

This was the moment that they all had waited for. Yet the strategy that God gave to the Israelites for victory may just surprise you…and yet it WORKED! Join Melissa for Lesson 5 as we learn how to surround what God has promised us and take possession of it spiritually even before we can see it or touch it. When we are fully convinced that God will show up then we can confidently do what He tells us to do and leave everything else up to Him. THIS is when the walls will come crumbling down!

Israel crossed the Jordan River on dry ground...in full view of Jericho! It was time to go after victory...right? Join Melissa for Lesson 4 as we discuss the challenging turn of events in Joshua chapter 5 where God leads the men of Israel into a time of surrender to strengthen their faith and to show them who He is as divine protector. Sometimes we will walk through a place that exposes our weakness, but God is faithful - this is where we learn just how strong He is and how He will fight for us!

Sometimes we will walk through a place that exposes our weakness, but God is faithful - this is where we learn just how strong He is and how He will fight for us!

The Israelites were about to go into the promised land. They had heard many stories about God's faithfulness to their fathers, but God was about to give them their own encounter with Him. Join Melissa for Lesson 3 as we talk about how our personal encounters with God build our faith and trust in Him. Along the way, we will also "build memorials" to Him to help us hold onto those miracles to help us to stand firm as we wait for God to show up for us again in the future!

Do you know just how important you are to God? Your confidence in His love for you and in the promises He has given you in His Word are keys to your victory! Join Melissa for Lesson 2 as we discuss how God encourages each of us through how others see Him and also through what He is willing to do – just for us! God wants you to know that no matter what has happened in your past – that you can trust Him to rescue you and to restore your hope and future in Him!

How do we prepare ourselves for the success that our hearts have longed for? Maybe there have been disappointments, delays, and dreams laid down along the way, but be encouraged that God has never forgotten! Join Melissa for Lesson 1 as we talk about how God positions us to take possession of His promises. It will take strength and courage BUT if we do what God tells us to do then we will be able to pick those dreams back up and start looking toward the victory that is ours in Christ!

As we grow in our relationship with God we also realize how important it is to steward our relationships with others. How are you taking time to listen, to care, and to pour out into the lives of others what God is pouring into you? Join Melissa for Lesson 4 as we study how to become good stewards of our personal, professional, and corporate Christian relationships so that the investment God is making in us is multiplied as we invest also in others!

The most important resource we have is our relationship with God. Are we giving it the time (and place) in our life that it truly deserves? Join Melissa for Lesson 3 as we study how to become good stewards of ALL our resources by beginning with building a firm relationship with God FIRST!

When we talk about Stewardship (as Christians), people immediately expect us to begin talking about what we do with our money. Although tithing is a part of good stewardship of the things of God - this is only just one way that we serve God. Join Melissa for Lesson 2 as we study what how to become good stewards of ALL the resources we have available so that we bring God glory, build His kingdom AND help those in the world around us to encounter Jesus!

Not all will go to a foreign mission field, but all are called to be a part of the work to help those in need. We can do this in partnership with our local church, in our community, or even on the other side of the globe, we each should be doing our part to provide opportunities that can lead to real change in someone else's life. Join Melissa for Lesson 4 as we discuss how to invest some of what God has given you into what others are doing to bring Christ to the whole world!

When most see someone in need, their immediate desire is to give to alleviate their own conscience. Although helping those in crisis is a GOOD thing...there are much deeper needs they're battling. They need someone who is willing to extend a hand, build relationships, and walk with them through time to bring real change into where they are today. Join Melissa for lesson 3 as we talk about how to build lasting relationships with those in need!

Lesson 2: When helping those in need we must do more than treat the symptoms of the circumstances we see them in. We must be willing to go deeper and discover the root cause of their need so that we can help them to break free and begin to move forward in receiving real healing and implementing real change in their lives.

Join us as Melissa shares about how to give lasting help to those in need. Whether you have a burden to help those who are overcoming addiction issues, homelessness, or just ministering to your neighbor across the street...there are things that you can say and do that REALLY help and restore hope. Learn how to be a missionary right where you walk every day and inspire those in need through lasting relationships that bring Jesus nearer to them than He has ever been before...through YOU!

Spiritual Discernment is not just about knowing what God wants you to do but also about receiving strategy on how to accomplish it. Join Melissa as we study Matthew 7:24-29 and discuss how to build everything in life with great spiritual success!

One of the areas where we need the greatest amount of spiritual discernment is in what is being taught and prophesied that claims to be in the name of God and from Him. Join Melissa as we study Matthew 7:15-23 and discuss how spiritual discernment can help us to know the difference between what is from God and what is not!

The Narrow Gate or the Broad way? Every one of us has only 2 choices we can make. And yet many people fall for the deception that they can live a worldly life and “switch” to the narrow way when they are older or have had their “fun”. Sadly, this belief is one that is held not just by the world but also by many Christians! Join Melissa as we study Matthew 7:13-14 and discuss how spiritual discernment can help us to choose wisely, stay on the right path AND finish well!

Faith is NOT Blind. It's rooted in a personal knowledge of who God is. Spiritual Discernment is a big part of learning what to ask God for in prayer & how to receive from Him. As we ask, seek & knock we will also receive discernment from God on which opportunities are “open doors” from Him & part of His divine will for us. Join Melissa as we study Matthew 7 and learn how to cultivate a life full of spiritual discernment so you can be led by the Holy Spirit in all things.

Spiritual Discernment is vital to a successful relationship with God in our ever-changing world. Imparted by God through the Holy Spirit, it will guard you against deception, transform your prayers, equip you to deal with Satan, and lead you into the fullness of God's divine Will for YOU!

Through divine revelation, Peter declared, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” But what happens when those who have displayed strong faith encounter a new challenge? Join Melissa for Lesson 4 as we discuss how to have a consistently strong faith and become steadfast and unmovable by following Jesus all the way to the cross.

Jesus was fearless. He took on death, sin, and so that we could walk in total victory. When He overcame the grave He opened up the way for us to go directly to God like we never could before. Join Melissa for Lesson 3 as we study Matthew 16 and see how Jesus gives us the keys of heaven to walk out that victory He won for us through living the life of an overcomer.

Long before Jesus came to earth…God was speaking of what He had planned for His Son. In Isaiah 22:22 we see God declaring the authority that He would lay on the shoulder of His Son that would make the way for the Victory He would take over evil through His death and resurrection. Join Melissa for Lesson 2 as we continue to study Isaiah 22 and learn how to win victory over evil through the authority given to Jesus - The Key & the Nail.

No matter what is going on in our natural world, there is a spiritual battle that our eyes cannot see.
