Arms Upheld: Support in Life's Hard Battles
H Lynn Pierce
Weighed down by burdens? Can’t sleep? Need a moment to yourself to connect with Your Creator? Even if it’s five minutes in the bathroom? Everyone is fighting a battle. Battles can be long and hard. I want to be there for you like Aaron and Hur were for Moses in Exodus 17 and hold up your arms. When Moses’s arms were held high, Israel prevailed. God won the victory for Israel, but Moses played his role in obedience, while Aaron and Hur supported him. “For the LORD your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.” Deuteronomy 20:4 The battle is His. He’s won the victory. I would like to stand with you, holding up your arms until the breakthrough happens and you can see the victory materialize. I offer encouragement, something to think on, and a prayer to focus on the One who holds all things together. Your battle may look different than mine, but let’s stand together. I’ll help hold up your arms until victory is real in your life. God is for you and so am I. -H Lynn Pierce

Prayerful Awareness - Episode #66
Arms Upheld: Support in Life's Hard Battles
12/26/22 • 9 min
This week typically has people reflecting back over the year and then setting their faces toward the next.
As we look at being prayerfully alert, we visit with Simeon and Anna at the temple when Jeus is presented to the Lord.
These two model for us abiding in Christ. Our prayer life plugs us into the Almighty, just as it did for them. This, in turn, fuels us to don the full armor of God.
As we reflect on the blessings God has given to us this year, let's remember that He is the true gift.
Listen to this week's addition to the special Advent series as we see how the armor of God intertwines with the experience of the coming of Christ to help us stand strong in the Lord as we face our own battles by committing to spend more time with Him in the coming year.

Thank Him - Episode #61
Arms Upheld: Support in Life's Hard Battles
11/21/22 • 10 min
Confession: I am a worrier.
I worry about what’s going to happen.
I worry about what’s already happened.
I worry about what people think of me.
I worry that they don’t...think of me.
I worry about my family and critters.
I worry because I fall into the thinking that it’s up to me, not Him.
So how do I move from a place of worry to a place of peace?
Philippians 4:6-7 imparts the wisdom we need to get there.
I hope you'll come along and learn how thanking Him can be the antidote to worry.

As we find ourselves again in the season of fall, the idea of harvest presents itself. We may not all desire a harvest of corn or soybeans, but what about blessings?
Galatians 6:9 tells us:
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we do not give up.
This week we discuss this idea of persevering in the work of doing what is good. Listen in to hear about reaping a harvest of blessing for yourself!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program...
This week God hijacked the 'Summer with Elijah' with a message of love.
It's the most important thing.
This week we listen to the words of A. W. Tozer and Sally Lloyd-Jones, but most importantly the words of Jesus.
As we listen, may we hear the heart of God and give Him ours.

Pain & Purpose - Episode #32
Arms Upheld: Support in Life's Hard Battles
05/02/22 • 9 min
Nothing quite grabs our attention like pain. It stops us in our tracks and demands we take certain actions.
The remedy is usually beyond our control. We must let it run its course or seek help. It points us beyond ourselves.
Pain points us to the One who can heal us, the One who can turn our pain into purpose and ashes into beauty - Jesus!
His purpose is unfailing. His plan is for our good and His glory. It cannot be thwarted.
Join us as we seek to find hope in Jesus amidst the pain and suffering in our own lives as well as around the world.

Triggers - Episode #31
Arms Upheld: Support in Life's Hard Battles
04/25/22 • 10 min
While on task for the Lord, there may arise situations or people that may try to derail us. Triggers threaten to do this.
In essence, triggers are responses we develop during traumatic periods that benefit us, but later linger even when the threat is no longer real. Something in our environment sparks a response in us that is no longer helpful.
I have no pat answers for you as a cure, but I will always point you to the one who is the answer - Jesus.
As we draw near to Him, He draws near to us. Join us to discover how staying connected to him can lead to confidence to continue our great works.

Spring brings rain. Water is simply water. Or is it?
Water is a key component of our physical make up, the largest feature on our planet, and essential for life. Water can also ruin our plans, make things harder, and destroy progress.
But...Water helps things grow. Grass, trees, and seeds.
What if God planted seeds in us when He created each of us?
What if those seeds need water to grow?
Let's jump in together and discover how!
