Adventures With Jesus, Today

I Hear You But I’m Not Listening

Remember when you were a kid and your Mom or Dad asked you to do something and you ‘chose’ to ignore them? There were lots of times that I did this when it came to the daily chores I didn’t like to do. 

It’s called selective listening and we purposely turn it on when we don’t want to internalize what we’re hearing.

In 1 Peter 5:8  he tells us that ‘our adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour’. This means that the enemy is actively looking to tell you things that will bring destruction in your life. What a sobering thought.

Here’s the Good News. God has given us a heads up that this will happen, and then He gives us the way to turn our ‘selective listening’ on, and tune out the enemy’s voice.

In today’s podcast episode you’ll learn a powerful Truth (and a useful phrase), that will help you to tune out the enemy’s voice, and listen to what God says about you instead.

Imagine Sitting On God’s Lap

I love standing at the Arrivals Gate at airports. I watch as people wait in anticipation for their person to come out. Wait, wait, wait…there they are!

Seeing the joy as they run to each other and hug and laugh and celebrate being together again brings tears to my eyes every time.

There’s something about being totally wanted, and delighted in, that just makes us feel good right down deep in our heart.

Let yourself go there for a moment. You are totally loved. Adored. Delighted in. And cherished. 

It feel so good right?

 

As you listen to today’s podcast episode you’ll see that this is the way God feels about you - every moment of the day. And you get to go on an adventure with Him to live in that beautiful heart place. 

Jesus is inviting you on an adventure today. Will you accept?

Use Your Gifts in a Healthy Way

“God, could You please just turn my brain off for 5 minutes?”

Something had happened that really hurt my heart and a million thoughts seemed to be constantly cycling through my brain without a pause. I was feeling really overwhelmed and all I wanted was a little peace.

The answer God gave me really surprised me.

“Lisa, you’re asking Me to turn off your gift and I won’t do that. How about asking Me how to use your gift in a healthy way instead?”

Now I was intrigued…

“Lord, what do You mean by saying that having a million thoughts on constant repeat is a gift?”

What He unpacked for me next has literally brought so much revelation and understanding into both my own, and my coaching clients’, lives over the years. 

When we can see our gifts through God’s lenses, then we can use them in a healthy way that brings us joy instead of frustration.

As you listen to today’s podcast episode, I bless you with new perspective on seeing how truly amazing the gifts God has given you, are.

Think Higher Thoughts

What are you thinking about?

As Frans and I were walking into the office yesterday he invited me into bigger picture thinking as we shivered in the cold.

It's just the same with God. His thoughts and ways are so much higher than ours, and He is inviting us to think with Him using the mind of Christ.

Being Content In All Things

If you’re anything like me, then ‘contentment’ can seem like a four-letter word.

My husband and I have debated ;-) the context of Phil 4:11-13, for years!

Because some of us have a naturally content disposition. Some of us (like me), never seem to be content and are always wanting more!

Hence the ‘debating’.

But as I’ve wrestled with God (and my husband) about this concept over the years, I’ve realized that Paul shares a vital key to understanding what TRUE contentment is. And it’s not what we typically think.

In today’s podcast episode you will see…   

• Why circumstances don’t get to tell you what to feel
• God’s true definition of contentment
• That you can do all things through Christ’s strength

I’m happy to say that I’ve come to love His definition of contentment way more than what mine was. And I’m embracing it more and more.

Enjoy feeling the peace wash over you as you realize what true contentment means.

Are you fighting with someone or for them?

I remember saying to God one day, "Lord, my heart hurts so bad because of what that person said, that I just don't know what to do"

We've all experienced heartache (such an accurate word to describe it right?). That ache that seems to grip our hearts when we feel hurt by someone's actions and words.

Wether you're currently feeling this, or you want to heal from a past hurt - as you listen to today's podcast, you'll find a beautiful way to relieve that heartache and begin to see things through God's lenses of love instead.
