Passage: 22 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them, 24 The LORD bless you and keep you; 25 the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; 26 the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. 27 “So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.” (Numbers 6:22–27) Song: The Blessing by Chris Brown, Cody Carnes, Kari Jobe, and Steven Furtick, recorded by Every Season Lyrics: The Lord bless you And keep you Make his face shine upon you And be gracious to you The Lord turn his Face toward you And give you peace Amen Amen Amen May his favor Be upon you And a thousand generations And your family And your children And their children And their children May his presence Go before you And behind you And beside you All around you And within you He is with you He is with you In the morning In the evening In your coming And your going In your weeping And rejoicing He is for you He is for you He is for you He is for you Prayer: Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee. Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my will, and make it thine; it shall be no longer mine. Take my heart—it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne. Amen. —Frances Ridley Havergal

The message emphasizes that we shouldn't let our past name our future, focusing on Jabez's prayer in 1 Chronicles 4:10. Like Jabez, who overcame his painful past name, we too can break free from our past and embrace a new future. The sermon outlines five key aspects: seeking God's blessing, enlisting His power through His hand, protection from evil, avoiding causing pain to others, and receiving answered prayers. When we don't let our past name our future, we can experience transformation through God's presence, just as Jabez didn't let his past name his future destiny.All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 1) What does "the hand of God" represent?2) Why do we need God's presence in our lives?3) How can someone stay protected from evil and temptation?4) Why do hurt people hurt others?5) What is the key to answered prayer?6) Why do some people struggle to fit into churches?7) What is the "Joseph Anointing"?8) How should we pray according to God's will?9) What happens when the presence of God flows in someone's life?10) Can witchcraft affect true Christians?

The message emphasizes that it's never too late to finish stronger, regardless of past mistakes or failures. To finish stronger, four key principles are outlined: maintaining lifted hands in prayer, practicing genuine repentance, relying on God's grace, and forgetting past hurts. Even when peoplefeel disqualified or want to give up, they can start strong again and finish stronger through God's mercy. The speaker encourages that finishing stronger is possible through God's grace, and with these principles, believers can overcome setbacks to finish stronger than before.All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 1. Is it too late for me to finish strong if I've made significant mistakes?2. How do I finish stronger when I feel disqualified or afraid?3. What should I do when I feel like giving up?4. How does genuine repentance differ from just feeling sorry?5. What is God's grace and how does it work?6. Can I rise again after falling?7. What does 'lifted hands' practically mean in daily life?8.

⚡️ In this inspiring message, Pastor Michael shares powerful testimonies and biblical wisdom about how to position yourself for God's breakthrough in your life. Learn why worship isn't just visiting God - it's creating an atmosphere for miracles!✨ Highlighted Scripture:1 Chronicles 14:11Psalm 30:5 - "Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning"

The message reveals ancient secrets concerning His presence through David's example. Unlike Saul, David prioritized both his house and God's presence, preparing a place for the Ark. These ancient secrets show how David's focus on His presence led to his kingdom's establishment. The secrets concerning His presence include dedicating time for prayer and supporting God's house through giving. David sacrificed comfort to seek His presence. These ancient secrets about maintaining God's presence are fulfilled through becoming intercessors and builders of God's house through prayer and giving.All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 1. What made David different from Saul as a king?2. Why is Jesus referred to as "Son of David" rather than "Son of Solomon"?3. How can one night change someone's life according to the message?4. What two things did David prioritize over his comfort?5. How can modern believers build the house of God?6. What qualification does the speaker look for in potential leaders?7. What does it mean to be an intercessor versus an actor in church?8. What constitutes the true house of God?9. What is the spiritual significance of inability to give to God?10. How should believers prepare a place for God's presence today?

This message emphasizes the importance of gathering together as God's chosen people to worship, intercede, and fulfill the purpose He has called us for. It highlights how the ancient Levites were appointed to carry the Ark of God, and how modern-day believers are called to be a royal priesthood, ministering before God daily. The key is to not neglect the gathering of believers, as this is where God's presence is celebrated and manifested. By embracing these "ancient secrets concerning His presence," believers can find fulfillment and see God's power manifested in their lives.All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 1. Who are the Levites today? 2. What are the two main duties of the Levites/chosen people? a. Intercession b. Worship 3. Why was it important for David to gather all of Israel together? 4. What was the purpose of David gathering the people? 5. Why is it important for believers to gather together today? 6. What happens when believers come together? 7. What happens when believers neglect gathering together? 8. What did the message say about the pastor's own life transformation? 9. What is the danger of not attending church regularly? 10. What is the prophetic promise for those who do not neglect the house of God?

O MILAGRE DAS SETE MILHASUma jornada à presença de Deus.Estamos em uma jornada em que receberemos revelações profundas e práticas para empoderar nossa vida e relacionamento com Deus! Esta série é baseada no livro “O milagre das sete milhas” - Steven Furtick, pastor da Elevation Church.13 Naquele mesmo dia, dois discípulos estavam indo para uma aldeia chamada Emaús, que ficava a uns dez quilômetros de Jerusalém. 14 E iam conversando a respeito de tudo o que tinha acontecido. 15 Enquanto conversavam e discutiam, o próprio Jesus se aproximou e ia com eles. 16 Porém os olhos deles estavam como que impedidos de o reconhecer. (Lucas 24.13-16 NAA)Como vimos na última semana, era domingo, já era o terceiro dia desde que Jesus havia sido morto e sepultado, e, aparentemente, nada havia acontecido. Com isso esses dois discípulos, tristes, decepcionados, voltam seu caminho para Emaús. No meio do caminho, enquanto caminhavam tristes, abatidos e desanimados, o próprio Jesus aparece, conversando e buscando entender o que estava acontecendo. Jesus lhes repreende, e, de maneira atenciosa e cuidadosa, começa a ensinar o que o Antigo Testamento falava a respeito do Cristo.27 E, começando por Moisés e todos os Profetas, explicou-lhes o que constava a respeito dele em todas as Escrituras. (Lucas 24.27 NAA)Foi nessa jornada que os dois viajantes começaram gradativamente a entender Jesus, culminando em uma visão miraculosa do Senhor ressurreto.E, por que isso é importante para nós? Porque esta é uma jornada que precisamos assumir em nossas vidas. Da mesma forma que essas duas pessoas na estrada naquele dia, eu e você temos que caminhar com Jesus, aprendendo com Ele, observando Seus caminhos e, cada vez mais enxergar Sua grandeza.Todos nós temos uma jornada de sete milhas em nossa própria caminhada. E, para esta jornada de sete milhas que estamos começando juntos, iremos marcar nossas milhas com as palavras que Jesus disse na Cruz.

The Price of Serving the LORD is illustrated through Hannah's story, who gave up her long-awaited son Samuel to serve in God's temple. The Price of Serving the LORD involves three key elements: sacrifice, surrender, and commitment. Through Samuel's experience as a child serving in the temple, we see that The Price of Serving the LORD often includes periods of pain and separation. However, the message emphasizes that this price yields profound blessings—Hannah's sacrifice birthed a prophet, demonstrating that The Price of Serving the LORD ultimately leads to significant spiritual impact and generational blessings. All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 1.) What does biblical barrenness really mean?2.) How can one overcome the spirit of barrenness?3.) Why do people often misunderstand or criticize those who are deeply devoted to prayer?4.) What happens after receiving a blessing from God?5.) Why does Hannah's sacrifice of Samuel demonstrate true commitment?6.) What makes serving God different from worldly service?7.) What differentiates a disciple from a fan of God?8.) Why does God sometimes delay miracles?9.) What are the three foundations of any relationship with God?10.) What is the ultimate blessing of sacrifice?

The message reveals two essential keys to protection and favor: proper leadership and genuine relationships. Through the story of Laish in Judges 18, it demonstrates how lack of leadership and connections left people vulnerable to attack. True keys to protection and favor come through submitting to godly leadership, which provides direction and covering, while building authentic relationships ensures spiritual support and growth. The message emphasizes that receiving divine protection and favor requires maintaining these two elements, as leadership without relationships becomes dictatorship, while relationships without leadership lack guidance. All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 01.)

What's the difference between leadership and dictatorship?06.) How do social media connections differ from real relationships?07.) What's the first thing the devil attacks?08.)

O MILAGRE DAS SETE MILHASUma jornada à presença de Deus.Nos próximos domingos que antecipam a Páscoa, em unidade, receberemos revelações profundas e práticas para empoderar nossa vida e relacionamento com Deus! Esta série é baseada no livro “O milagre das sete milhas” - Steven Furtick, pastor da Elevation Church.13 Naquele mesmo dia, dois discípulos estavam indo para uma aldeia chamada Emaús, que ficava a uns dez quilômetros de Jerusalém. 14 E iam conversando a respeito de tudo o que tinha acontecido. 15 Enquanto conversavam e discutiam, o próprio Jesus se aproximou e ia com eles. 16 Porém os olhos deles estavam como que impedidos de o reconhecer. 17 Então ele lhes perguntou: — O que é que vocês estão discutindo pelo caminho? E eles pararam entristecidos. 18 Um, porém, chamado Cleopas, respondeu: — Será que você é o único que esteve em Jerusalém e não sabe o que aconteceu lá, nestes últimos dias? 19 Ele lhes perguntou: — Do que se trata? Eles explicaram: — Aquilo que aconteceu com Jesus, o Nazareno, que era profeta, poderoso em obras e palavras, diante de Deus e de todo o povo, 20 e como os principais sacerdotes e as nossas autoridades o entregaram para ser condenado à morte e o crucificaram. 21 Nós esperávamos que fosse ele quem havia de redimir Israel. Mas, depois de tudo isto, já estamos no terceiro dia desde que essas coisas aconteceram. 22 É verdade também que algumas mulheres do nosso grupo nos surpreenderam. Indo de madrugada ao túmulo 23 e não achando o corpo de Jesus, voltaram dizendo que tinham tido uma visão de anjos, os quais afirmam que ele vive. 24 De fato, alguns dos nossos foram ao túmulo e verificaram a exatidão do que as mulheres disseram; mas não o viram. 25 Então ele lhes disse: — Como vocês são insensatos e demoram para crer em tudo o que os profetas disseram! 26 Não é verdade que o Cristo tinha de sofrer e entrar na sua glória? 27 E, começando por Moisés e todos os Profetas, explicou-lhes o que constava a respeito dele em todas as Escrituras. (Lucas 24.13–27 NAA)

The message explores how believers can tune into the divine frequency through spiritual connection with God. Just as whales communicate in frequencies only they understand, God speaks in spiritual frequencies that require believers to move beyond physical hearing. Tuning into the divine frequency demands quieting one's spirit and spending time alone with God, similar to how scientists immerse themselves in whale environments to understand their communication. The key to tuning into the divine frequency is transitioning from physical to spiritual awareness. Like Moses, Paul, and John, believers must step away from distractions to clearly receive divine frequencies and hear God's voice.All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 1. How does God communicate with people?2. Why can some people understand God's messages while others cannot?3. What language does God speak?4. How can believers tune into God's frequency?5. Why are many Christians frustrated in their spiritual life?6. What prevents people from hearing God's voice?7. Why did God call spiritual leaders to isolated places?8. How will only some people hear the trumpet during the rapture?9. Why is being 'in the spirit' essential for worship?10 How can believers get direction for important life decisions?

Pastor Michael teaches how tuning into the Divine frequency requires focused attention to God's voice. He emphasizes that many hear but don't truly listen, comparing it to airport noise that residents tune out. To effectively tune into the Divine frequency, believers must walk in the Spirit, manifesting the nine fruits including love, joy, and self-control. The key to tuning into the Divine frequency is allowing God's love to flow within, as it enables clearer spiritual reception. Those who maintain this Divine frequency connection become lovers of God who receive intimate divine direction.All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, TD Jakes and others. 1. How can you differentiate between merely hearing and actually listening to God's voice?2. What is the first key to hearing God's voice?3. Why does God speak to some people and not others?4. How do you know you're walking in the Spirit?5. Why is faithfulness more important than talent in ministry?6. How does the love of God get activated in believers?7. What happens when God's love grows cold in a believer?8. How is the fruit of self-control developed?9. Why do some people hear God's voice as just thunder while others hear it as His voice?10. What's the relationship between walking in the Spirit and hearing God's voice?

The message emphasizes receiving the anointing of speed that breaks delay through sustained prayer and Word immersion. Using examples like Aaron's rod and Nehemiah's wall-building, the teaching demonstrates how the anointing of speed breaks delay supernaturally. When believers soak in God's presence, the anointing of speed accelerates their breakthroughs. The message highlights that this anointing of speed that breaks delay defies natural limitations, as seen in Jesus's disciples' boat experience. Through the anointing of speed, God can restore lost years and break every delay, leading to supernatural acceleration in every area of life.All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 1. What defines us in the Kingdom of God?2. How does the anointing of speed manifest?3. What is the primary way to receive the anointing of speed?4. Can God restore lost time?5. How important is knowing God's Word in receiving supernatural acceleration?6. What happened to Aaron's rod in the presence of God?7. How quickly can God's acceleration work?8. What role does God's presence play in acceleration?9. Is there biblical evidence for rapid completion of major projects?10. What practical step was given for activating this anointing?

In this sermon Why 50% of Christians Will Miss the Rapture? Pastor Michael urges listeners to stay spiritually alert, engage in "midnight prayers", and be prepared for Christ's sudden return to avoid being among the 50% of Christians who will allegedly miss the Rapture and be left behind.All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen and others.1. The Bridegroom is Coming, Are You Ready?2. Delay Does Not Mean Denial!3. The Midnight Cry: Deliverance or Judgment?4. Spiritual Slumber is Dangerous!5. A Global Wake-Up Call is Coming!6. The Time is Short—Be Ready!7. The Rapture Will Happen When Least Expected!

On today's program, Willow Creek Pastor Dave Dummit announced this week he is stepping down as leader of the influential Chicagoland megachurch. Leaders have also named his successor. And, revenue is down for Steven Furtick's Elevation Church, while in-person membership is flat. We'll take a closer look at the church's 2024 annual report.  Plus, the state of the church—Barna Group released its new report showing men have outpaced women in church attendance, reversing a longstanding trend. We'll have details. But first, more churches are leaving what's known as ‘the Network,' led by Steve Morgan. Nearly half of the congregations that have been associated with a “Network” of churches overseen by Pastor Steve Morgan have either publicly announced their departure or removed any reference to the network from their websites. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Bob Smietana, Shannon Cuthrell, Diana Chandler, Brittany Smith, and Christina Darnell. A special thanks to Baptist Press for contributing material for this week's podcast. Until next time, may God bless you.   MANUSCRIPT:    FIRST SEGMENT Warren:  Hello everybody. I'm Warren Smith, coming to you this week from Charlotte, North Carolina. Natasha: And I'm Natasha Cowden, coming to you from Denver, Colorado, and we'd like to welcome you to the MinistryWatch podcast. Warren: On today's program, Willow Creek Pastor Dave Dummit announced this week he is stepping down as leader of the influential Chicagoland megachurch. Leaders have also named his successor. And, revenue is down for Steven Furtick's Elevation Church, while in-person membership is flat. We'll take a closer look at the church's 2024 annual report. Plus, the state of the church—Barna Group released its new report showing men have outpaced women in church attendance, reversing a longstanding trend. We'll have details. Natasha: But first, more churches are leaving what's known as ‘the Network,' led by Steve Morgan. Warren: Nearly half of the congregations that have been associated with a “Network” of churches overseen by Pastor Steve Morgan have either publicly announced their departure or removed any reference to the network from their websites. MinistryWatch began reporting about Morgan in 2022 when a watchdog group called “Leaving the Network” issued an eight-point “call to action,” including an independent investigation of the group. Morgan, who was originally part of the Vineyard Association of Churches, left that group in 2006 and formed his own network. At one point, the network included 26 churches in the U.S., U.K., and Taiwan. Morgan is still the lead pastor of Joshua Church in Austin, Texas. Natasha: Why were churches leaving? Warren: One of the concerns that “Leaving the Network” has raised is that Morgan was arrested in 1987 for aggravated criminal sodomy of a minor, but his case was diverted. The group believes Morgan's past has been concealed from members and leaders in the network of churches. Natasha: Eleven churches no longer appear to be affiliated with the Network. MinistryWatch reported about four — Isaiah Church, Vine Church, North Pines Church, and Hosea Church — last fall. Now seven more have indicated in some way that they are no longer part of the Network. Warren: Brookfield Church in Athens, Ohio: Cedar Heights Church in State College, Penn.: Mountain Heights Church in Morgantown, W.V.: Oaks Church in Muncie, Ind.: South Grove Church in Athens, Ga.: Vida Springs Church in Gainesville, Fla.: Christland Church in College Station, Texas: Natasha: Next, Willow Creek's Pastor steps down.

Have you ever noticed the white arrow in the FedEx logo? (Go ahead, Google it if you haven't—I'll wait.) Well, it took my 5-year-old to point it out, even though I've been staring at FedEx trucks my whole life!

I'm a pretty good planner. I like to get a goal and create a plan to achieve it, collect the needed materials, and execute. Then I sit back and enjoy the rewards of having arrived. But goal setting, planning, and effort have limits—more than we admit. Where does the supernatural fit into your story? This weekend, we conclude "Rock and Sand" by exploring how to make room for the Divine in our plans. First time listening to our podcast?

The Furnace Of AfflictionIsaiah 48:10 “See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.”This is a verse that most of us probably don't like. No one wants to be tested in the furnace of affliction. No one wants to face affliction at all, and yet this is where we grow the most. Do we need to have affliction and trouble in our lives to grow? No, God could just give us all that we need without affliction. God can do whatever He wants. However, He knows if He gives it to us, then we won't appreciate it; we will take it for granted, and we will waste it.This is true with most things. If we are handed everything we ever need and want from our parents, then we won't appreciate what we have, and we probably won't appreciate all they do for us. We will take it for granted because we don't know anything else. How do I know that God knows this? First, He knows everything. Second, He has seen it in his people time and time again. Remember the Israelites that were saved from Egypt? God saved them in a miraculous way from the years of slavery that they had endured. He saved them, and then he provided food for them every single day. However, because it happened every single day, they started to take it for granted. They decided they would rather be in captivity and have more variety in food than continue to be free and eat this miraculous bread from heaven.Can you think of a time in your life when you didn't have to work for something, and you took it for granted? What about the opposite? You had to work really hard for something, and you appreciated it so much more.  Another example that just came to mind was water. In America, everyone I know has more water than they know what to do with. Some pay for water, and some have a well. Either way, they don't work super hard for their water. Because of this, I have seen a lot of waste when it comes to water, especially in my family. We don't understand the value of water because we have never gone without water. It has always been right at our fingertips. We currently don't pay for water either because we have a well. I have seen my kids turn the water on to heat up and then not get in it for 10 minutes or more. Can you imagine how much water we are wasting, just letting it run down the drain?I know we are not the only people to do this, either. What about all the water bottles we start to do but then don't finish? I can just imagine what the people in Africa would say or think if they could see all the ways we waste water in America. Globally, more than 1 million people die each year from a lack of access to safe water and sanitation. Unsafe water is a leading risk factor for infectious diseases, including Cholera, Diarrhea, Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Polio. I find it so hard to understand how there can still be this many people without safe water around the world. I think it can be so easy to think that everyone has the things that you have because you have always had them. You have never known anything different.I think if we lost power in our houses for a week, or if we lost water for a week, we would have a new appreciation for these things. If we had to grow our own fruits and vegetables instead of just buying them at the store, then we might appreciate them a bit more and not waste them. How many of us buy fresh vegetables with every intention of eating them and then wind up throwing them away because they went bad before we could eat them? I think if we had to do without them for a while, or if they were harder to get, we might appreciate them more.The same is true with the afflictions we encounter in our lives. Affliction means any pain or suffering we have had to endure. Today's verse tells us that we are refined through the furnace of these afflictions. We all want to be refined. We want to grow closer to the Lord. We want to grow more into who the Lord is calling us to be, and yet we don't want the afflictions. Who wants to endure pain and suffering? Who wants to be in a furnace? Can't we just be refined without all that? Yes, but this is how God has chosen to refine us. This is for our own good.I was just listening to a sermon by Steven Furtick from Elevation Church the other night while driving home. He said that there was a false article written about their church a few years ago saying that they fake Baptisms. He was not happy about the article, and it was a really stressful time for him and the church. However, now that they are through it, He said he is glad it was written. The reason he said this is because the church was refined through this adversity. When the article was written, they were doing Baptisms at their church once or twice a year. Since that article was written, they now do Baptisms every single week. Was the affliction they had to go through fun? No! But they did grow from it, and God brought a blessing from their church out of it.Think back to some of the hardest times in your life. Are you different now because of them? Are you stronger in some way? Can you see how God used that affliction to refine you? God most likely didn't cause the affliction, yet He allowed you to go through it because He knew He could use it to refine you. He knew He could use it to make you a better person, a better parent, spouse, partner, son, daughter, sibling or wherever else He wanted you to grow.I know adversity and affliction is hard. I know it is not something we look forward to. However, I wonder how differently we would handle affliction if we were able to shift our mindset about it? I wonder how different of an experience it would be if we went into curious and even excited about how God was going to use this to help us grow. If we were able to keep our eyes on Jesus while in the middle of the pain and the suffering and try to find where He is using it to help refine us. Things tend to be easier if we can find meaning in them. Maybe that meaning isn't coming from the situation, but how God is using the situation to refine us make us better?Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening today. Lord, help us see how you are using our painful situations to refine us. Help us to look at our situation with new eyes. Help us to be curious and excited, not for the pain and suffering but for the new growth in us that came because of this suffering. Lord, help us to remember we are never alone, and you are always right there with us as we go through any adversity. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

In today's episode, Lisa and Laura dive into Lesson 2 of Ordering Your Priorities, Priority 1: Your Relationship with God. If we desire to live lives of purpose, happiness, and fulfillment, we have got to get this priority right! Why? Because only God knows what will make us happy and what we most long for. But let's be honest: it can be hard to trust God. When we have experienced hurt or abandonment, putting God first doesn't come easily. If this is your struggle, join Lisa and Laura in this powerful conversation and discover how a personal relationship with God changes everything for the better. Open your Heart to our key Scripture.  Psalm 91:1–4: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.  Sirach 51:2: You have been my protector and helper, and have delivered my body from destruction, and from the snare of a slanderous tongue, from lips that utter lies. Deuteronomy 32:10–12: He found him in a desert land, and in the howling waste of the wilderness; he encircled him, he cared for him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that flutters over its young, spreading out its wings, catching them, bearing them on its pinions, the Lord alone did lead him. Ecclesiasticus 51:31: Draw near to me, ye unlearned, and gather yourselves into the house of discipline. (Douay-Rheims) Psalm 5:3: O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case for you and watch. Psalm 143:8: Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning, for in thee I put my trust. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. St. Josemaría Escrivá said, “Conquer yourself each day from the very first moment, getting up on the dot, at a fixed time, without yielding a single minute to laziness. If, with God's help, you conquer yourself, you will be well ahead for the rest of the day. It's so discouraging to find oneself beaten at the first skirmish... “The heroic minute. It is the time fixed for getting up. Without hesitation: a supernatural reflection and… up! The heroic minute: here you have a mortification that strengthens your will and does no harm to your body.”  What lie plays in your mind that says this is impossible for you to do? What could you change in your nighttime routine in order to faithfully give God the first part of your day? Show mentions. Henri Nouwen, Finding My Way Home: Pathways to Life and the Spirit.
