I was divinely inspired to immerse myself in the Word of God and in communion with Him so that I might fulfill His plan for my life and finish my course with joy! For His Kingdom's sake! For His people's sake!Being a preacher's kid, I was in church at least 3-5 times per week growing up, but many times, 5-7 days a week!

How to Build Your Foundation (Pt. 13) | Acknowledge | "Following Jesus" (Pt. 3)
Here is the YouTube description for episode 23 Welcome back to “Acknowledging Jesus” Part 3. We are still discussing the third phase (within the four successive phases) every believer goes through when building their firm foundation upon Jesus. In this third stage, we continue to explore what it truly means to acknowledge Jesus by following Him. Many Christians know Who Jesus is. Many believe in Him. But acknowledging Him goes beyond belief—it means trusting Him enough to follow Him.Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” To acknowledge Jesus is to follow Him in all your ways. It means trusting His plan above your own, agreeing with His Word above your circumstances, and surrendering your future to His leadership. In Episode 22, we talked about the call to follow Jesus. In this episode, we go deeper and ask an important question: Do you trust Him enough to follow Him completely?Many people fear that fully following Jesus will cause them to miss out on something. But the truth is that God’s plans are always better than our own. Following Him isn’t about losing your life—it’s about finding the life He created you to live.In this episode, we discuss: • Why nobody can believe God for you—you must personally trust Him as Savior, Healer, Provider, and Lord. • Why agreeing with God is more powerful than agreeing with your problems. • Why seeking your own plans first and God’s plans second will always leave you unsatisfied. • How following God’s plan is one of the greatest gifts you can give your family. • What it means to go all the way with Jesus. • Why God is leading His people into greater, better, and more than they’ve experienced before. Following Jesus doesn’t make life worse and worse. As you walk with Him, trust Him, and obey Him, your life becomes sweeter and sweeter because you are walking in the path He designed for you. If you’re ready to stop leaning on your own understanding and start trusting God with every area of your life, this episode is for you.

How to Build Your Foundation (Pt. 9) | Look to the Rock
Hebrews 4:2 says,“For unto us was the Gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.”The Word of God is powerful — but it only produces results when it’s mixed with faith. 🌿You can hear the Word every Sunday, every week, every day…but it won’t profit you until you believe it, receive it, and mix your faith with it.When you put faith behind what you hear, the Word becomes alive in you — producing fruit, power, and change. 🙌#MixFaithWithTheWord #FaithInAction #AnointedWord #FoundationalTruthsForLife #LifeInChrist #BibleFaith #JesusIsLord #KingdomLiving #DailyEncouragement #FaithComesByHearing
