Welcome back. I want to let you know Walking by faith and not by sight is not cute, it's not pretty, it's not easy, but it can be done. This podcast is about my journey to reclaim my voice and the declaration that I give to everyone who's ever heard of Reclaiming Your Voice, who have ever heard me speak about Reclaiming Your Voice, who ever heard my testimony and what I share. To reclaim your voice in God isn't easy. I have been In and out of warfare for months now. Having to deal with different things in every area of my life. And presently, I'm tired. I'm tired. Whenever you hear this episode, welcome to my vulnerability. I'm tired. And the only thing, the main thing that has been my saving grace through all of this is remembering what God has done in my life before. That has been my saving grace through my mind being attacked, my family being attacked, me trying to figure out, you know, do I choose this or do I choose that or should I let this go or let that go? Remembering what God has done in my life has been my saving grace. It is how I am still standing. It is how I choose. To keep going with this ministry, with what I believe the Lord has given me to do, me coaching people, me encouraging people, that has been my saving grace. If you are listening and you are from Israel, I'm praying for you. I am praying for you and I want to encourage you and this may be encouragement for someone else could it did encourage me also as I kept reading these passages but if you are from Israel and you hear the sound of my voice be encouraged remember what the Lord God said to your ancestors remember what he said from the mouth of his prophet Moses. Remember his love for you, read about his love for you, study his love for you, cuz that is what's going to keep you through this hard time. difficult time that you are experiencing, the war that you are in, I pray for you. And if this is for someone else who is not from Israel, the war in your mind, the war that you may be living in your own life, wherever you are, I want to encourage you, with Deuteronomy 7. And please forgive me because my eyes are bleary because I'm tearful this morning and these glasses I'm wearing isn't. The Greatest, Deuteronomy 7, 7 through 9. The Lord did not set his heart on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other nations. For you were the smallest of all nations. Rather it was simply that the Lord loved you and he was keeping the oath he had sworn to your ancestors. That is why the Lord rescued you. With such a strong hand from your slavery and from the oppressive hand of Pharaoh, King of Egypt. Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. That, popped out at me this morning. I encourage you. I pray for you, Israel. I have also been thinking about, how faith is doing the thing and believing what the Lord said, believing his word, believing what he has spoken to you individually through you. Thank you. The fear through the doubt through you wanting to quit but not quitting still believing in him because he is God and he's not a man that he should lie and he promised not to leave you or forsake you and he did not promise. That is, will be easy. Jesus did not say, he did not promise that walking with him will be easy. In the Word, from Moses, to Daniel, to Jesus, to the prophets, to Esther, how they all. Went through, I'll say it in, modern language, the traumas, the, the persecution, the pain, the, the suffering, the surrender, believing in God through difficult time, through a difficult decision. That's throughout the word of God. That's throughout the Bible and how God showed how he was there. Through every single thing, through every miracle, through every, uh, fasting, through every walking through a mountain, through a valley, through every battle, he's showing himself true. And he is still that same God. He is that same God. Faith is not easy, but it's necessary to get through what you are going through. It is necessary. To please God, it is necessary to walk this thing out. It is necessary for surrender. It is necessary to reclaim your voice in God. The One who has the greatest voice in the universe. Who through the death of His Son, the gift that Jesus gave us is His Holy Spirit. That voice is the greatest voice of all. To overcome anything in this life as I said before, the grandkids wake up, press on, keep going, keep going. Don't go through all that you go and do and did not learn what you needed to learn. Do not go through what you are presently being challenged with. What you are being tested with, don't go through all of this and reject what God wants to prepare you with. Strip away so you can manage well what's next for you. Manage well this present moment. Manage this well so you can manage next. So you will have another banner to look at, to be reminded of. Your next season, so you can have the memory, so you can remember what the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob have done for you before, because that might be your saving grace. Talk to you next week. Be well. Peace out.
