Welcome to "Your Testimony Matters" Podcast where you will find New Strength from within, Encouragement from God's truth, Fill our minds with Goodness and Our Hearts with Positivity. My goal is that with each weekly episode, Your Fire will reignite and You will find the Courage to Live Life on Purpose, Shine so Bright that your Testimony becomes a Contagious Inspiration to all those around you and so You can walk Boldly with Courageous Faith, Conquering your Fears and Overcoming any Doubts.
We all have weaknesses but God wants us not only to live with them but to bring glory to his name through them. Our weaknesses are a chance to seek, lean onto, build intimacy with God so we can SEE his strengths in our weaknesses. 2 Corinthians 12:9 Paul is asking God to take away his suffering-but God said "my grace is all you need-my power works best in weakness" so Paul says SO now I boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me! So you are NOT alone we all have weaknesses (more than one) and that's OK you are still MORE than enough. Today I encourage you to keep this in mind this week and to turn to God. I also want to encourage that when God helps you through your weakness that you can then help/serve your brother/sister/friend/neighbor with their weakness.

I AM HEALED (Got Faith?...You CAN be healed)
Did you know that if you have faith that you can be healed? Mark 5: 24-34 teaches us about the women who suffered for twelve years of constant bleeding and when she heard Jesus was in her town she fought through the crowds to get close to him because she thought " If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed" !! and she was immediately healed. Now I don't know about you but I don't think I have as much faith as her... In fact I pray that the Lord gives me faith and he gives/gave it to me. Sunday April 10th I visited a church and I believe on that day when they prayed over me and anointed me with oil (Mark 5:13) that I was healed. Last week was the first week I felt the most peace and strength that I've felt in a really long time. When God heals or God moves in your life, you have to share your testimony because it will bring hope and it will strengthen you brother or sisters faith in Jesus!!! I hope this episode blesses YOU <3

If you chase Jesus
I love John 13 where we read about Jesus washing his disciples feet. After Jesus explains why- so they can be his! Peter responds "Then wash my hands and head as well Lord not just my feet!- And I love that! He loves him SO much he wants to be fully submerged. This week God reminded me that I must chase him as hard as I chase "other things" which are far less valuable because Matthew 6:33 says Seek the Kingdom of God above ALL else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need! In seasons of lack, fear, doubt, sickness and more that God will provide everything that you need!

Are you a Leader? If you didn't know YOU ARE!
Did you ever think of yourself as a leader? If you answered no, I'd like to surprise you today by saying you are a leader <3 God has called each one of us to be his disciples and discipleship includes leadership. As a leader we will be faced with hard times, moments where we will have to make tough decisions but I love how the word of God is everything we need & in Acts 16:16 you will be able to see what kind of leaders Paul and Silas were and how WHAT they did when they faced trouble. Its a beautiful lesson for you and I! I hope you enjoy todays episode.

Friendship-2 are better than 1
Today we talk all about how God says " Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed" Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10. We don't have to do it all on our own, in fact God gives us friends, spouses, brothers, sisters in Christ to help you two can help each other in all areas of your lives. Don't try to do it alone! But we also have to choose the right friendships and we have to BE that good friend with a heart after service, love and fear of The Lord.

2 Corinthians 6:14; Proverbs 12:26; Proverbs 13:20

How do I fulfill my calling?
Ever wonder if you have a calling and how to fulfill your calling? In this very short podcast episode I share WHAT God has called you to do and HOW to fulfill your calling. Jeremiah 1:5 I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations". It doesn't matter how many times you made mistakes or how big of a mistake you made, you've still been called! You have a calling, a purpose and in everything you do you can share Christ & the good news of salvation.
Other bible verses referenced:
But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the scripture say "You must be holy because I am holy"
Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20
Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you Matthew 6:33
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3

How do I overcome it all? The 3 P's (Prayer, Praise & his Presence)
Have you ever felt like fear has paralyzed you? Or Have you been struggling with a void in your heart, a sickness or mental health battle? In today's episode I share how I've received freedom from anxiety attacks with Praise and resting in his Presence, I share how I've overcome emotions of abandonment with Prayer/waiting on God.
God's word tells us that instead of fear/worry that we should instead PRAY about everything. I don't know who is fighting a battle or who needs to hear this but today I share the freedom and healing through God's word, praise/worship and prayer. I've received is gift and this gift is for you too my sweet sister in Christ.
So Let's keep fighting the good fight & let's walk bolding in courageous faith.
Bible verses:
Philippians 4:6-7 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guards your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Faith Grows When We Start Believing
Hey Friends! Today's episode is near to my heart because I have seen how having faith, using my imagination and asking God for specific things works. I remember as a rebellious youth recommitting to God and asking him in detail for a husband & he gave me just that. I remember being a burnt out commuting working mom believing and having faith that one day I'd be a stay at home mom. I want you to have faith, use your imagination and ask God for the things you'd like to have in life. I want to encourage you to place him first in your life, listen to his teaching and instruction. You are a City on a hilltop that cannot be hidden so Go Shine Bright Today!
