What happens when you ask yourself, "Is God pleased with me?" This question becomes a focal point as we explore Psalms 139:23-24, inviting God to search our hearts and expose any hidden darkness. I share a raw and vulnerable moment from my life—an unexpected surge of anger rooted in past trauma—that led me on a path of spiritual healing. This episode emphasizes the critical role of vulnerability in our ongoing journey of transformation and spiritual growth.
Confronting the battle between pride and spiritual maturity, we draw insights from Galatians 5:16-17. The internal conflict between our flesh and spirit is a daily struggle, one that requires constant consecration and partnership with God. Through these reflections, we delve into the importance of crucifying fleshly desires and allowing the Holy Spirit to renew our minds. Living a life that mirrors God's holiness becomes our aim, with the ultimate goal of being beacons of light in a world fraught with darkness.
We wrap up this episode by embracing the affirmation, "I am called to more." This powerful declaration is a reminder that God has grander plans for each one of us. We discuss the importance of walking in faith and seeking God's guidance for healing and transformation. Our heartfelt prayer seeks to cleanse our minds, heal our wounds, and remove any barriers that hinder our spiritual potential, leaving us more fulfilled and closer to the beautiful creations God intended us to be. Join us on this journey of hope, healing, and personal transformation.
