   280. God Wants to Rebuild Us

   Episode 280-God Wants to Rebuild Us 280-God Wants To Rebuild Us God knows our hearts. He knows what we need. He speaks right to us whether it comes through me, you, or someone else. We need to always have an attentive ear to listen to Him. We need to learn to listen to Him. This podcast contains words that God asked me to share with you. These are words directly from Him. The show notes will include only a small amount. Please listen to the podcast for more. God said, “Whatever happens on the outside of you, and in your body, in your brain, in your physical nature is totally governed by you. I, God, am not in charge of that. I make suggestions. I plan things to help you even if it is something you don’t like in the moment. “When I lead you to change something or give something up you think you can’t live without, because it seems dear to you, it’s because I have better plans for you. I have over-the-top, greater than you can think or imagine dreams for you. It is abundance until it overflows, abundance that just keeps coming. “The only thing that can stop the flow of My abundance to you is what you choose to love more than Me. When you choose things you think you have to have, you are not putting Me first. I must be first without a second in your life for everything to work together.  I don’t demand that you do what I want. As a matter of fact, I always give you a choice. “Remember, it is your choice. Don’t blame it on what you crave. Don‘t blame it on your body that you think is giving up on you. No, it’s not that your body is giving up on you. Your body only responds to what you tell it to do. Trace the causes, the roots. Go to the deep places you’ve been unwilling to visit for so many years. “All you have to do is listen to Me, follow, and obey. I will uplift you. You will not die when you give up those things you think you can’t live without. You may scream. You may cry. But think about this, how long has it been since you have allowed yourself to do wail and mourn over your sins? “Tears wash the soul. Cry and get it out. Leave your cravings behind you so I can move you forward. They only drag you down. Don’t pick them up again. “Come to Me. Let Me fill you with everything positive you need, so you will never want for anything else. Never again. Really desire to surrender everything. Surrender it to me. Completely, totally, and finally surrender it all to Me. One-on-One Coaching Sign up here: https://www.teresashieldsparker.com/one-on-one-coaching/

   279. Fighting For or Against You?

   Episode 279-Fighting For or Against You? There’s a recurring question that has been playing throughout my mind. Are we fighting for God or are we maybe unknowingly, or knowingly, fighting against Him? As Christians we better know that we are in a war. The problem is we likely really aren’t cognitively aware of the war until our attention is called to it. The evil one’s main weapon is that little three letter word s-i-n. If he can get us to sell out to sin, he can destroy any influence or effectiveness we have in the world. God has weapons too. His most effective weapon is that five-letter, living word of Grace. We have to want to implement the strength of His grace to defeat sin. In other words, we have to push the grace button if we want help. We have grace if we have accepted Christ, but we in order to win the war, in order to apply the strength of God’s grace in our lives, we must admit we are weak and need God’s help in order to live in God’s freedom rather than the bondage of sin. Psalm 139:23-24 NLT is what I want to leave you with. “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” Make that your prayer.

   278. Becoming a Living Sacrifice

   Episode 278-Becoming a Living Sacrifice Why does God want us to be living sacrifices? Is it the same thing as surrendering to God? What does it mean to be a living sacrifice? Why would God even want us to do that? Being a living sacrifice means that as God’s children, we do what He says and go where He leads. This is paramount as a child of God, but its also really difficult. Paul tells us this in Romans 12:1 AMP: “Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies, dedicating all of yourselves, set apart, as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational, logical, intelligent act of worship.” Who He is and who we are makes surrendering every single part of our lives to Him a rational, and at the same time a very emotional, course of action. Doing this now and every single day is more than a starting place. It will define how we live in tandem with Him for the rest of our lives.
