Welcome to Faith in the Morning! God wants to give you the desires of your heart because He loves you! Since that is the truth, we need to stay on the positive side of life. When God leads us to give up a desire of our heart, it is because He has something far better for us. If you give something up for God, He gives back to you in a magnificent way.

Good communication is essential for any healthy relationship. What, then, does it say about our relationship with God that so often we experience prayer as completely one-sided, as if we're just yelling into the void? Is God truly a loving father, or more like a disinterested parent who won't take the time to listen to and clearly engage with His children? And are we doomed to disappoint in this area, or could it be that we've actually settled for far less when God is offering us infinitely more?

This week on Can I Laugh On Your Shoulder, we're sitting down with the incredible Abbie Halberstadt. Abbie is a wife, homeschooling mama to 10 amazing kids, a best-selling author, blogger, and fitness instructor. But most importantly, she's a Bible-believing Christian with a deep desire to know God and make Him known.   Abbie lives by the motto "Hard is not the same thing as bad," and she passionately encourages women to dig deep in the everyday trials of motherhood to uncover the treasures of joy and growth that are abundant if we're willing to look.   In this episode, we dive straight into a rich conversation about her newest book, Hard is Not the Same Thing as Bad, which echoes this philosophy. We explore what it looks like to navigate the trials of life, motherhood, and everything the world throws at us.   It was an absolute honor to have Abbie on the show, and I just know you'll be as inspired by her as I was!   2:30 – Abbie 101   Wife, mom, and Christian living in Texas Best-selling author Married to a supportive and wise partner Trust and teamwork within a family     16:55 – Hard Is Not The Same As Bad   Where the idea for this book came from The hard teaches us something Who Abbie had in mind when writing this book Motherhood is not a burden     31:01 – The Gift of Parenting   How motherhood is commonly portrayed today Ignoring voices that encourage complaining and victimhood Seeking strength and support from God Giving children purpose and responsibility at home     48:47 – Takeaways   Psalm 27:13 Connecting with Abbie     FEATURED QUOTES   “The hard teaches us something. Hard is not the same thing as bad.”   “Moms need to hear that the Lord is good regardless of your circumstances, that motherhood is not a burden, that it is, in fact, a blessing from the Lord.”   “Dig deep into Jesus and kick out those voices that are telling you can't and you're a victim.

You have authority in Christ!Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Luke 10:19 “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, andover all the power of the enemy, and nothing [no-thing] will injure you.”Jesus gave us these words because He was preparing us to realize that once we enter HisKingdom, we have entered into battle with the enemy of mankind's soul.

"Giving to God? Giving to Caesar?"

The first part of the Gospel presentation is sin. We are sinful and need to be saved. In this passage, Paul demonstrates the mess we are in, and how we got there. God gave us free will, and no matter how bad our choices will be, He lets us make them and face the consequences.

Does Israel possess a special anointing or blessing related to medicine or technology? How did God give His only begotten Son if He simply went back to Heaven? Do we really give our life to God or does He give His life to us? Will the whole world realize the return of Christ is happening or just believers?

So many people ask the question in the title. Again, no. God is not speaking to individuals apart from His already-delivered written word. Today we look at another question that people ask: If we do hear a voice, how do we know it's from the Lord? And if it's not from God, then who is speaking? We know it's not due to: --The Reaction --The Content --The Deception Resources- Direct revelation Part 1 The End Time Does God Still Give Revelation?

I'm doing a short miniseries on whether God is speaking to people today, outside of the Bible. Today I ask and answer 2 questions, 1. What is the "God told me" religion? and 2. Does God talk to us audibly? and also give further resources- see below.

10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. 12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13 Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. 14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. 15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. 16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you. Hebrews 13:10-17 The altar presents an unmistakable call to a surrendered life We have an altar when Jesus is prominent Here grace presides * God's Law is fulfilled * Our sin is overcome Here eternity is pursued Here worship is perpetual * Giving glory to God * Giving gratitude to God 4. Here humility is prioritized * Service * Submission The sacrifice of Jesus at the altar of Calvary deserves full surrender from those who follow Him As you have received grace, offer it Live for eternity more than for now Never forget the One who has saved you Always remain compassionate and teachable

In this episode, Jeff shares his excitement about the successful launch of his devotional and how God has been faithful. He also discusses the importance of delighting in the Lord and how it leads to God-given desires.Key Points:Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."Initially, Jeff used to dump all his desires on God, but now he seeks an intimate relationship with the Lord and lets Him place the desires in his heart.God's desires are far greater than any human desire we can manufacture.Seeking God first and making His desires our own leads to answered prayers.Sometimes God may say no to our desires or refine/change them, but it's all for our good and His glory.Jeff encourages listeners to delight themselves in the Lord and ask Him to give them the desires He has for them.Thank you for tuning in to today's episode. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to Jeff on Instagram (@jeffelderbgw) or via email (jeff@jeffreelder.com).

Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. Who is the author? PAUL Who is the audience? CHRISTIANS in EPHESUS What is the context? SPIRITUAL WARFARE 1. Know who your ENEMY is. Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. Our enemy is DESTRUCTIVE John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Our enemy is DECEPTIVE 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. Our enemy is DETERMINED I Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 2. Know your PART. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Habakkuk 3:9 The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. Isaiah 35:4 say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.” Being strong in the Lord isn't about God GIVING you strength. It is about God BECOMING your strength. I Samuel 30:6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God. 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. My greatest STRENGTH is found at the point of my greatest SURRENDER. 3. Know your ODDS. Difficulty is measured by the CAPACITY of the AGENT doing the work. When God is added to the equation, the problem goes from DIFFICULT to EASILY DOABLE. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coastalchurch/message
