Can you identify when a failure isn't a part of the process, but it's a part of protection? This doesn't mean we need to work harder; nor is it adversity, it's clarity! This is God being clear about what is and isn't in His will for your life.

If you don't disciple your imagination, it will begin to filter everything through fear, threats and worst-case scenarios. This is no way for a Christ follower to live and thrive. We must get our anxiety under control so that it stops dictating our lives!

So many of us are engaged in historically inherited wars and we don't even know it! Generational cycles gain momentum by stories being left untold and scars that were covered by statements such as, "what goes on in this house stays in this house."

When we're emotionally exhausted, we tend to revert back to the version of ourselves from before Jesus called us. It's time we develop a pain plan, because your pain process sets protocols for those who are coming behind you.

In order to succeed in life, we must be able to identify which type of valley we are in. The anointing is forged in the valley!

Could it be possible that our lack of properly placing people is the role that we're playing in our own suffering?

There's some pain we don't have to experience if we would just take the wisdom!

Have you ever lost something before, only to realize it's right there in your face? Inattentional blindness is whenever you become so focused on one thing, that you miss the details right in front of you. This is one of the cancers responsible for relational breakdown.

The fastest way to waste your life is to live thinking you have more life left. You get one life and to waste time is to waste life!

It's critical that we remain healed, because brokenness blurs your vision and causes you to not be able to discern the true nature of people. How many times have we seen people in the improper light due to the fact that we got healed, but never stayed healed?

Some of us are fueled by feuds - we love to fight! It's possible that our harvest is being strangled by our obsession to fight. Sometimes fighting is necessary, but do we have the maturity to know when, where, how or even what to fight? Do we have the discernment to know that we shouldn't be fighting for free?

In life, many of us have taught ourselves to move on by sweeping our hardships under the rug. But if you keep sweeping things under the rug, it will eventually trip you up!

Before you overthink. Before you let anxiety at the mic in your soul. Before you allow what you see to talk you out of what you know, remember the times when God showed himself as the same God who delivered you back then!

It's your responsibility to do the work! Spiritual leaders can offer guidance; The Holy Spirit can comfort, convict and counsel us; but having consistency is up to you!

Biblical illiteracy is the artery of deception and when the heart is not filled with wisdom, deception is enthroned. It reigns over your choices!

We need discerning hearts and wisdom because when you've been shaped by ignorance, you can't trust your discernment because your perspective has been constructed by misinformation and the lack of right information. Both willful and involuntary wisdom lead to pain and that's too expensive!

The ultimate cheat code is to be in the presence of The Father!

Why should we seek to resolve conflict? It's our duty in Christ and an opportunity to look as much as we can like our Father.

Deliverance deals with the demons, wisdom deals with the damage. Enough with us allowing our hearts to be a practice field while they find themselves!

This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone seeking to deepen their faith and understand the profound influence of spiritual leadership. Tune in for a conversation that promises to enrich your spiritual experience and offer valuable insights into the life of a pastor.

Once we grow with God, so should our relational obedience with Him, which makes it easier for us to give God our "yes" in all things.

Idolatry is a matter of the human heart; it is the human heart seeking something outside of its Creator to sustain it. Money does not change a person, but rather exposes the human heart.

The fight is fixed and the only way we lose is if we don't fight, so let the arrows fly!

Joy is not a destination you arrive at but it's a standard you must choose to believe. God is speaking to us about having joy in Him and in Him alone.

We have to stop worshipping at the altar of what other people think. If we don't unlearn that, what they say about us will be what we say about ourselves.

Whoever you pick and choose to do life with is a choice on the materials you will use to build your house.

Can you identify when your heart is catching a cold? With a natural cold you can lose your taste, but with a spiritual cold you can lose sensitivity to the things of God and His convictions! Believe it or not, it’s possible for us to not even know how contagious we are, which by default has us spreading strongholds.

Kingdom men don't just happen. They're first born again and then built. We know this to be true because when we look at David's life, he was anointed to be king over Israel in 1 Samuel 16, but he didn't become king until 2 Samuel 5 because he was being built.

Your ability to discern God’s will is married to the renewal, the health and the healing of your mind!

Once Satan gains access to your ear, he can then influence your mind, the gateway to your soul. What are you listening to on a regular basis?

Some people like the unhealed version of you better… what if the only thing y’all have in common is similar dopamine hits?

The pain of guilt may not be the result of what others have done, but rather what we have done leaving an imprint on our souls. We will only exemplify our freedom in Christ to the degree by which we are free in our souls.

If you have to lose yourself in order to secure that relationship, you may need change directions. Because you can't self-abandon your way into a healthy relationship.

A discernment deficiency will have you loyal to a counterfeit, but a discerning heart gives you the ability to see beyond presentation!

The survival tactics that you've learned in your "now," won't serve you to thrive when God gives you your "next."

Knowledge is applied information but wisdom is the ability to identify misinformation. You don't have to learn everything through experience, some things you can learn through wisdom.

In life, sometimes you must make a conscious decision to modify the level of access someone has to you. It doesn't mean that you no longer love them, but for the sake of your health, happiness or purpose, you must reposition them.

Anything outside of God that we worship and find identity in is an idol. God doesn’t do threesomes, He won’t be intimate with us and our idols at the same time!

We're so quick to say our cut off game is strong, but why isn't it that strong when it comes to cutting off that rudeness or any sin that offends God? It's a contradiction and this message is designed to help us cut off the branches in our life that are unfruitful.

Often times we sabotage the good things that God wants to provide for our lives due to the feeling of unworthiness. We must unlearn the idea that we do not deserve the blessings of God as we learn how to embrace happiness.

In Matthew 23, Jesus was criticizing the Pharisees when He said, "everything they do is done for people to see." They love attention, they love views and they love going viral. That's the infection - viral infection! And the danger is when we are a people who love attention, we'll mismanage pastures.

What God wants you to go through and what you choose to go through are not the same! Being offended is a choice, not a requirement.

Being hard on yourself and calling it perfectionism is really self manipulation, because the fruit of that behavior is anxiety, overthinking, stress, burnout, and depression. Those aren't fruits of the Spirit and the gift God has given you never requires your peace of mind!

While your hands aren't stronger than Pharaoh's, God's are. God is waiting for you to put it down, so He can pick it up.

Avoidance is a survival skill that is learned in an unsafe environment. When brought into a safe environment, the new space then starts to look like the one God brought us out of. There are five ways to change your behavior, but in order to do that, we must first address the fact that we are avoiding something.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and evidence is for the purpose of being persuaded. This is why so many people are disenchanted with Christianity because we claim to have this evidence, but with the way we treat people, it's not evident. Our love for God and His people should be evident, not mysterious.

There are a lot of things we can get wrong, but the two most important things we should get right are God's will for our lives and our eternal placement!

Most of us when we hear the word "naked," we think of the human body, whether male or female, being uncovered, stripped, indecent exposure; void of the appropriate covering. This seems to be an adequate estimation; however, there is a spiritual correlation that must be considered when we ask the question: "Why are you naked?"

An apology isn’t enough. What you deserve is changed behavior! Let's unpack the many questions we have regarding broken trust and how it can be recovered.
