My Faith Is Bigger Than My Fears Podcast

Today's episode is speaking about being called for such a time as this as we reflect on what does that mean being called and how God calls us to use our voice, spread the gospel, and show up boldly for God.

Two examples of people being confident at a time like this are Queen Esther and Paul. How God used them both for such a time as this, and how they were both willing to put their lives on the line to save their people, while also spreading the gospel to non-believers, and going before the king even though the king didn't call for you.

Scriptures: Esther 4:11 ; 4:14 NKJV " For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
Acts 9:1-9
Matthew 22:14

So answer these questions: How is God using you in this season? Is it for you to use your voice? Are you to be standing for what is right or go and spread the gospel? I pray that when God calls your name, you will say, 'I have been called for such a time as this.'

EP. 16 Don't allow what it looks like to be what it is!

In today's episode, we are not going to allow our current situation to look like that's it, as if God can't change our situations immediately. Now, some things in our lives are out of our control. I'm talking about desiring a better life, and you're sitting back doing nothing about it.

Sometimes you have to say enough is enough; sometimes you just have to put all your faith and trust in God, believing that He will guide you, give you the wisdom, and give you the strength to continue moving forward during difficult times. Sometimes you also have to RESET, sit still or be silent while working on changing your current situation.

Remember, God knew everything we would go through, and He is a part of our journey; He has already provided what we need to get through cruical times in our lives. "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV and " I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthen me." Philippians 4:13 NKJV.

So I encourage you to not look at your current situation as that's it. I pray that you will seek God first, be obedient to His voice and His instructions, and don't let fear or regrets cause you to stay stagnant or paralyzed. So I ask you today, what are you going to do to change your current situation? Remember, you have a choice to decide whether to allow it to look like what it is or change it to what you want your life to look like.

EP 18: Stop giving everyone access to you.

On today's episode, we are talking about how we allow to many people to have too much access to us and how we are not obligated to share things with others. You don't have to share our next moves, business ideas, or even allow people in our space. It's okay to set boundaries so that people don't have access to you at all times. Sometimes we have to establish business hours, 9 to 5pm, with certain individuals, and that's okay.

Evan Jesus didn't allow everyone to have access to Him. Even Jesus would remove certain people who were doubting when He was performing miracles. Jesus only allowed Peter, James, and John to have complete access to Him, especially during intimate times only when He allowed them. Even Jesus set boundaries.

I have learned that setting boundaries protects my peace, my space and I have establish healthy boundaries for myself, limiting who has access to me.

Listen if I set boundaries with who I give access to my children then why should I not set the same boundaries for myself? Everyone does not need to have complete access to you remember that. Think about it this way: If CEO's or business owners have assistants, that means you have to go through their assistants, not everyone is able to go straight to the CEO, so why should everyone have that access to you?
