Welcome And Intent For Healing

Dina LaFargue Augustin 0:44

Greetings and welcome to the drip line where love and healing will flow into your soul. Tune in and take a listen. Come along this journey, allowing love and truth to permeate your entire being. Hopefully, the message shared this week will touch your heart, allowing you to move closer to your healing, making you more self-aware, and empowering you for your daily life, enabling you to live more prosperously and successfully. This week is my desire to talk about ending the year right and starting the new year in the best position possible. Now I've been missing for the past couple of weeks because unfortunately I caught a cold, then I had mini surgery, then I caught the flu, and I ended up missing Thanksgiving and hence missing a couple of podcasts. But I am back, and I'm back with the excitement and the refreshing of my pilgrimage that God just made me well enough to be able to accomplish. I just have my birthday, and every year I make sure no

Why A Year-End Spiritual Reset

Dina LaFargue Augustin 2:09

matter what is happening in my life, whether I'm with or without, that I celebrate my special day, my birthday with the Lord Jesus. I invite him in. We dine together and we celebrate together, and it's wonderful. As a matter of fact, I celebrate the entire month of December, just celebrating life and celebrating the fact that I'm alive and that I have the opportunity to do more and to live more in the Lord and to look forward to what he's going to do next. It can really be exciting if you put your mind to it and if you really trust that he will never leave you nor forsake you. Last year, I celebrated my birthday with my best friend and sister in Christ, Gina. We went to Prophet Cindy Trimm's End the Year Strong event, and it was well worth it. We both received confirmation and motivation to continue on the path the Lord has called us to. We were intent on celebrating the Lord and our lives. Now, the past few years, we actually both been deluged with drama and disappointments. And I have gone through some traumatic events, betrayal, and robbery during these past couple of years. It has been mind-boggling. So I definitely needed a spiritual reset. And I went to where I know God dwells in power and to a place where the anointing moves with revelation and authority. I went to Simi Valley to visit Prophet Lovey Elias at Revelation Church. I went there to end the year cleansed of all error, strongholds, bad attitude, wrong attitude, wrong thinking, wrong intentions, erred behavior, and a, I don't know, fractured mindset. Fractured might be a strong word, but I just wanted to check myself, check my soul and my spirit, and to get realigned. I want to make sure that by the end of the year, I'm free from all satanic contentions, all attachments,

Pilgrimage To Revelation Church

Dina LaFargue Augustin 4:33

all strongholds, anything that the enemy has tried to infiltrate in me or corrupt or pollute me. I wanted to be free of so that I could be best prepared for 2026 and to ensure that I would have a prosperous 2026 in every way, in every area of my life, and in everything that pertains to the Lord. Nothing stolen, nothing broken, but everything whole and in power. And you see, I want everyone to uh consider that. I believe everyone should want to end the year, to end each year with correction and a resetting so that everyone can walk into a new year free of distortions, detractions, distractions, and bad positioning. It's so important to always do a self-check. It's essential to allow ourselves to be repositioned and refreshed and adjusted. It's like going to a chiropractor for a spinal adjustment. It's like going, uh taking your car to get a realignment and an oil check. It's like going to the doctor for getting a checkup and making sure everything's okay. We should never be casual about our mental health, our soul health, or our spiritual health. There's no value in walking through life, lost, confused, halfway, unhealthy, with a wrong mindset, a dead spirit, a corrupted thought life, or spending our energy on dead things and on things that are no longer of value to us, that are no longer of value to our present, and that cannot contribute to our future. Hear me when I say that. Where do we spend our energies? Where do our thoughts lie? Where do our efforts lie? So basically, I consider my trip to Simi Valley to Revelation Church to meet Prophet Lovey Elias and his awesome wife, Prophetess Maggie, and his sister Benny, uh, to check myself, to abide in the presence of the Lord where I know there's power and authority and truth taught. It was a pilgrimage. And a pilgrimage is a journey, often long and arduous, to a sacred or spiritually significant place undertaken for religious devotion, personal growth, or to fulfill a vow. Pilgrimages involve themes of spiritual transformation, seeking divine blessings, and connecting with people of faith. So that's what I did. That's what I went for. And it took me three planes and over 10 hours to get there, and actually a month of planning and prayer to get there and to receive what I so diligently desired. Now, every year, every new year, people generally make resolutions to do or to not do certain things, to break bad habits, or to commit to healthier lifestyles. But truly, the most important resolution to make is to refocus on the Lord, to reconnect with him, to reinforce one's relationship with discipline, or simply to know who the Lord is, to readjust one's heart and mind on the things that pertain to the Lord, that pertain to one's creator. It is a time to do a self-assessment

Preparing For A Prosperous New Year

Dina LaFargue Augustin 8:40

about one's intention in life. It's the asking oneself. Yes, it's the asking. Why are you the way you are? How are you living your life? Why are you doing what you're doing? Where are you going? What plans do you have? So, do you consider where your thoughts are? Do you consider your ponderings and where they take you? Do you truly pay attention to what others are doing or saying way too much? Or are you paying attention to what the Lord wants out of you for you? Are you more materialistic in mind? Or are you more spiritually grounded? And do you really consider God in all of it? Do you consider what God wants for you, where God wants to take you, and what God wants to do in you? Do you even have a relationship with God? Or do you just believe in a higher power or none at all? These questions are so important, and they all have answers, real answers, and truth in each answer. Each of us should be having conversations with the Lord God Almighty. We should be considering God's desire for our lives. So my intention as I traveled to Simi Valley, again, taking the three planes from Fort Lauderdale to Houston to Las Vegas to Burbank and traveling over 10 hours to get there, being half sick and half nauseated on the way, was all worth it. It was all to get corrected. It was all to uh let God know that I'm running after him, I'm chasing after him. I'm not too prideful or too arrogant to believe that although I've been serving the Lord, that I don't need correction, that I haven't sinned, that I haven't lost track. I mean, things move us out of

Self-Assessment And Alignment

Dina LaFargue Augustin 10:55

place. Just like we go to a doctor to get our spines readjusted or to go for healing or get medication when we're sick. I went for God's medicine. I went for a head readjustment. I went for a spiritual readjustment. I went for healing, deliverance, and impartation. You see, my God is always intentional in all things. Therefore, I believe I should be intentional in all things. I believe we should be intentionally devoted to God, no matter what it takes. So on my trip, I was blessed to sit under this man of God, Prophet Lovey's teaching in person. I was able to feel the presence of God. I was able to see God at work firsthand and not through YouTube. I was blessed to worship in such a saturated atmosphere of God's presence. I was blessed to sit under the teaching and the declarations and the transparency of his wife Prophetess Maggie and to meet his sister, evangelist Benny, who's so humble and loving. Each of these people expressed a deep faith. I mean, you could feel it, and exemplified discipline in their relationship with the Lord. They shared how they spoke with the Lord. They shared what they thought of the Lord. They shared um how to come to the Lord. And I was reminded that our faith must be unedited, unfiltered, uh, incorruptible, unshakable, and unbreakable. Period. They exampled that. You could hear it, you could feel it from their hearts. And it's not that any of them ever questioned God. It's not that they never questioned God or themselves or their faith. It's that once they came to a deeper knowledge of Christ and a better understanding of who he was and what he was communicating in his word, they made decisions to follow him full out, to believe in him to a level that required complete trust in what God has said and what God has written and what God has revealed

Questions That Recenter Your Life

Dina LaFargue Augustin 13:22

to them. It requires beyond believing to me. You know, I consider myself to be a person that believes. I consider myself to have a lot of faith and that God has showed me might things, but their level is another level. They reminded me that no matter what, God is God, his word is his word, his promises are his promises. What is written is written and it is true. So it requires a believing of what he says about who we are to him and who we are in him. It requires a full commitment of faith, trust, desire, a full commitment of living in him and in his faithfulness and taking him for everything he says he is, everything he says he does, and understanding how he works in and through us, or at least attempting to understand his perspective, not ours, what he wants, not what we want, how he sees us, not how we see ourselves or how the world sees us. It requires a full surrender to him, a complete letting go of ourselves, a complete letting go of preconceived notions, etc., etc. etc. Not denying who we are, so to speak, but being who we were made to be, who we are in his hands, not listening to the world, not listening to the negativity, not being caught up in the messiness, not being shaped by the things that happen to us, but only by his healing in those things, his faithfulness in those things, being in his word, being in his hand, being in his heart, knowing that we are his heart's desire. I hope I'm making myself clear. I'm so full from this trip. I'm so full and I'm so refreshed and so excited about what I experience that I hope it's translating into this podcast. You see, our conception is the first part of our natural lives and birth. Yes, the conception in our mother's womb. That is the first part of our natural lives. That's the first birth. God has thus planted us in our mother's womb. We are no accident. I'm going somewhere with this. I have to go back to this point to bring us to our present. Our recorded birthdays are the days our lives in the natural world actually begin. God brings us into humanity, into the natural world to fulfill a destiny and to glorify Him, to operate in authority and power through Him. Ephesians chapter 2, verse 10 says, For we are his workmanship,

Pursuing Correction And Deliverance

Dina LaFargue Augustin 16:55

created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. The king prepared beforehand. We are his workmanship. Hence, there are no accidents, we are no accidents, there are no mistakes, we are not mistakes. No matter what you've been told, no matter what you feel, you're not an accident, you're not a mistake, you're not forgotten. The date and time we were born were in God's control. Colossians 3, verse 23 means that all work should be done with our whole heart and effort, with the primary motivation being to please God and not people. And I'm going to read it to you in just one moment. Colossians 3 encourages us and reminds us that we are made by God and we are to labor for Him no matter the task. It's an act of service and worship to Jesus Christ, who is ultimately in charge. So this perspective means we are to work diligently and honestly, whether others are watching us or not, no matter what people say, no matter what people do, no matter how people hurt us, but we are to respond to God and look to Him for everything and know that He rewards us accordingly. And it reads, Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord and not for human masters. So in saying that, so many of us get caught up and how many people show up, who believes us, who doesn't believe us, who's harmed us, uh, wanting to get revenge, living in the past, in past betrayals and hurts and maybe failings or or being fired, but we cannot. We need to know that God allows, God is ultimately in control, and we're to live for him no matter what. We come into this world with glory. We come into this world with a destiny, we come into this world with giftings and talents, and we are to use them for his glory. Now, sadly, we also can come into this world with ungodly strongholds because we're born with a sin nature, and the enemy is always seeking to kill, steall, and destroy. Cursings come from the enemy. So the war begins before we were even born. So we cannot be ignorant of that fact. And in knowing that, we're to be mindful of how we're living and who we're living for, not serving the enemy, but serving God, not serving the bad things, but serving God. Psalm 51 reads, Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Yet you, Lord, desired faithfulness even in the womb. You, quote unquote, Lord, taught me wisdom in that secret place. 2 Corinthians 10 confirms the fact that there is war. It says, For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. So we know a war is raging around us and in us. Hence we

Encountering Teaching And Presence

Dina LaFargue Augustin 20:42

have to be diligent in protecting our. Lives, protecting our destinies, protecting the gifts and the talents God has given us against every work that is designed to destroy them. Hence the need for a reset. Hence the need to do a self-assessment. Hence the need to do some introspection. Hence to always look to the Lord. You see, Satan came against Jesus in the desert before his ministry ever began. And he visited him after. With every temptation of man, yet Jesus remained pure. Therefore, I say it is essential that we stay connected to God, that we inquire of God, that we seek God, that we ensure that our paths and our steps are ordered by the Lord God, that our minds are set on God, our desires come from God, our direction is towards God, and our connections are with people that can help lift us up and keep us connected to God. And that our inabilities and abilities are all being addressed so that we move forward in Him to reach our fullest potential. We are to self-actualize. Well, what is self-actualization? And it's something I teach my students all the time. We're to live to self-actualize, to live to our greatest potential. Like the army old model was be all that you can be. Well, we're to be all that we can be in Christ. Yes, self-actualization means realizing your full potential, becoming the most complete and best version of yourself by developing your unique talents and capabilities in a deeply personal journey of growth, awareness, and fulfillment. As described by psychologist Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, where it's the highest level of psychological development, it is a continuous process of living authentically, embracing creativity, seeking meaning, and experiencing peak moments of joy and wonder rather than just a final destination. Listen to that final destination. Sometimes we're so busy trying to get to the end that we miss everything happening in between. And that's another message that was uh discussed and reiterated when I was at Revelation Church. Prophetess Maggie continually said it's not about the endpoint, it's about being in the moment, it's about being with God every step of the way, not rushing the process, not rushing God, not being determined for a specific outcome, uh, more than getting there the right way. And making sure we're walking with God, not getting ahead of Him. That's important. Now, key aspects of self-actualization, as mentioned in many psychological uh websites like Psychology Today, etc., say that uh one aspect is fulfilling one's potential, using your abilities and talents to their maximum capacity.

Unedited Faith And Full Surrender

Dina LaFargue Augustin 24:15

The next is personal growth, which is a lifelong journey of learning, self-awareness, improvement. I would say evolving, authenticity, being true to yourself, and living according to your own values, purposeful living, finding meaning and pursuing goals that align with your deepest self, peak experiences, moments of intense happiness, wonder, and fulfillment. And as Maslow's hierarchy would say, it sits at the top of Maslow's pyramid, achievable after basic needs, which are safety, love, and esteem, are met. Some of the characteristics of a self-actualized individual are acceptance of self and others, spontaneity and creativity, strong sense of humor, deep meaningful relationships, strong morality and empathy, and an appreciation for life and reality. Now, if you play back what I've said, a lot of it is essential, but one thing is missing when it mentions your own values. Our values should be lined up with God's values, our self-awareness should be lined up with our God identity. Our purposeful living means that we should be finding uh our living in God's purpose, uh, with his goals in mind for us, with our understanding of who we are in him. And peak experiences should include the joy of the Lord, which is our strength, that fulfillment should come in knowing that we are walking the path that God has written for us. Um when it talks about acceptance of self, yes, we're to love ourselves because God loves us. We don't have a right to judge ourselves, to be harsh on ourselves, to not love ourselves because God made us wonderfully and fearfully. We're to love one another, no matter who they are. We may not like everybody, but we're to love others because they are all creations of God. We are to allow the creativity in us to manifest. And yes, have a sense of humor. God certainly has one. And to build relationships because God made us in relationship. He made Adam and Eve in relationship and in relationship with him and in one another. And our morality can only come from God. Morality does not exist without God. And I think when people say there is no God, then what's the point of having morality? Who are you being good for? Who are you being moral for? It doesn't matter. It's a moot point. So all of this is good, but it's not enough, as I said, because we are born in sin and we sin and we need saving. And after being saved, we must be sanctified. Sanctification is the ultimate point of self-actualization. Sanctification is the ultimate refinement in Christ Jesus. We are incomplete without Christ, we are dead otherwise. Yes, we are. We will live eternally in damnation and torment without Him. For our souls will be wanting Him, but forever without Him. Yes, it's true. Our souls will be tormented by our own evil that we lived in our earthly lives, and it will be beyond our imagination. We cannot comprehend the torment of hell unless God takes you there to experience it. But the good thing is, and the good news is, God saves, God delivers, and God heals. And he did so through his son Jesus Christ, who died without sin, who lived without sin, died without sin, and died for the forgiveness of our sins, and died that we might live eternally with the Father. For we cannot come to the Father, we cannot live in eternal joy and peace without accepting Christ Jesus, who died to deliver us from the hands of the enemy, from our dead souls, from our dead spirit men. Ephesians chapter 2 says, As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins. Verse 2, in which you used to live when you followed the waves of this world, and are the ruler of the kingdom of the air, meaning Satan, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But

Identity, Purpose, And Calling

Dina LaFargue Augustin 29:20

because of his great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive. I say, made us alive with Christ, even when we were dead in transgressions. It is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in high places. Yes, we are seated with Christ. When we give our lives to Christ, because he gave his life for us, when we accept his work and what he has done for us and how he intercedes for us, then we are truly alive. Then we can live up to our fullest potential, then we are on the road to sanctification. Sanctification is an ongoing process until Christ's return. But without Christ, we are nothing. Without Christ, we are dead. We are in the hands of the Prince of the Air, the one who hell was made for. Therefore, if we truly are desirous of God, if we truly say we believe in Christ and have received him into our hearts as the living God, as the Savior of our souls, then sanctification will be a natural course of our lives. We will have and should have a desire to grow in Him. If we have truly accepted Christ as our Savior, if we truly believe who He says He is, the Son of God, Son of Man, fully God, fully man, then our hunger will increase, our thirst will increase to an expected end. Second Timothy 2, verse 21 reads, Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work. 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 23 reads, Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hence, we must work. Hence, my pilgrimage. I want to make sure that I am on the right path. I want to make sure that my mind, body, soul, and spirit are cleansed, are reset, are united with Christ, are working in unity and in harmony and syncopated and synchronized with the Lord God Almighty. Now I don't mean acting good and performing and posturing for men. No, we don't spend eternity for men. We're going to spend eternity in God's presence. So it's not by works alone, but it's by faith in the living God which motivates the works, which motivates our submission, which motivates our hearts to chase after Him. Hence, resets are necessary. Reassessments are necessary. We must allow the Holy Spirit to burn away all the dross, all the ugly, all that is not of God, so that we can be made whole. Jesus was broken for us so that we are healed in Him. He is the great physician

The Reality Of Spiritual War

Dina LaFargue Augustin 33:09

And the Holy Spirit is our Comfort and Teacher; without the Holy Spirit, we don't have Jesus. So make sure when you say you want Jesus to be your Savior, that you invite the Holy Spirit in, that you say, Lord, come into my heart and dwell in me and make me over. 2 Peter chapter 1, verses 3 through 11 read, His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory and excellence, by which He has granted to us His precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. God is not slack. God is attentive to his own, he is attentive to us, and he waits for us to come to him to receive his love. For His creation is profound - He is profound. His love is endless. His love is perfect, and we should not waste it. We should not waste his love, we should not waste his efforts toward us, his intent towards us. His love is everlasting and deep. Philippians 1, verse 6 says, and I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. So if we lack anything, if we want anything, if we need help in anything, we should run to Christ. Because he finishes his good work. He doesnt care for us to leave us. He never leaves us nor forsakes us. His desire is that all his creation abide in and with him in peace and love and in power. And nothing can dilute his love, nothing can pollute his love, nothing can take his love away. In Romans 8, verses 38 through 39, it reads, For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, no powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will ever be able to separate

Stay Connected And Ordered By God

Dina LaFargue Augustin 36:20

us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. So there. Can it be any clearer? So why not run to Him? Why not trust Him? Why not submit to Him? Why not surrender to Him? So why not check the status of our souls and our spirit men? Why not do the reassessing? Why not ensure a better and healthier life in mind, body, soul, and spirit by allowing the Lord to fix what is broken, to heal the hurts, and bring to life what has been destroyed. Think about it. What better gift could you give to oneself? This is my birthday gift every year. And every day is a new day with God. Every day we have a new opportunity to live better, to draw closer. Lamentations chapter 3, verses 22 and 23 read The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. So in my pilgrimage, the Lord spoke. He reassured me of his unfailing love, of the depth of his love, to the point that I was so undone. I boohoo like a baby. My Lord reminded me that he is attentive and he fulfills the desires of our hearts. He reminded me that he loved me, that he cared about me, that he cares about us, his people,

Self-Actualization Through Christ

Dina LaFargue Augustin 38:07

his children. He cares about every part of us, every facet of us he cares about and he is attentive to. He cares about our mental health our spiritual health, our physical health our relational health our financial health our professional health. He cares about every facet of us. And he says, draw near. So we should draw near. He cares so much that He wants His people to call on me. And we all love love. We should all want to receive his love and accept his love. And God is faithful in his love to us. And I have set my mind on loving him back. And I want to show my love to him. And I can only love him because he loved me first. And I recognize that I am nothing without him. And I am thankful that he loves me no matter what, no matter where I find myself, no matter what weaknesses, or no matter the failings, no matter the stumblings, God still loves me and is always with me no matter. Because his love is unconditional. The only true failure is that we ignore him. The only real failure in our life is that we deny him, that we do not believe him, that we ignore him, that our arrogance and pride separate us, thinking we don't need a God, that we're here some kind other kind of way, that it we even think the Big Bang is without a creator. God made the Big Bang when He spoke. God is who He says He is, and we should take Him for His Word, for His Word is true and faithful. So the biggest failure one could ever make is a failure of not acknowledging Him. It is a failure to disregard the Lord God. It is an act of disobedience and a rebellion to ignore and disregard and act as if He doesn't matter or even exist. It is a huge mistake to deny him because we are of him and we do belong to him. So don't be that, don't do that, don't be slack, for he is never that, and he is always abounding in love for us. Amen. So in closing, seek his face, seek revelation, do that reassessment, realign with the Lord God Almighty, allow him to work through you and in you, and begin the new year strong, end this year strong, and start the new year with him, rightly dividing the word of God. So be blessed, be in love, be in him, be healed, be in peace, be delivered, be saved, and be sanctified. Truth drips.
