Offloading the baggage that influences your response | Favor Series Part 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In part two of this series on favor, we confront a truth we often overlook: everyone carries baggage. Life experiences, wounds, disappointments, and unaddressed fears can quietly influence our reactions and shape how we respond to God. If this baggage is not surrendered to the Lord, it can create moments of self-sabotage right when God is trying to elevate us.
In this episode, we explore the difference between Mary and Zechariah’s seemingly similar responses in Luke chapter 1. Their words may have sounded alike, but the condition of their hearts was completely different. One response was rooted in trust while the other was influenced by hidden doubt.
We talk about what it means to let God examine the heart so that our posture aligns with His will. It is not just about saying yes to God. It is about understanding the heart behind the yes and allowing Him to deal with anything that is influencing that response.
