Quick Tip: Popular weeks fill up FAST - think spring break, Fourth of July, and other holiday weeks (and actually, just the month of June in general 😅) There’s only so many sunrises and sunsets in a week, so if you’ve booked your stay, reach out to book your session!

Had this conversation with the Lord on Monday. Tried that afternoon to make this video. Failed miserably. Tongue tied, thoughts not flowing…it clearly wasn’t the time.

I thought He had given me an explanation for what I’ve been going through, and it was…but turns out it was also preparation 🫣

Monday night through Tuesday afternoon I felt plunged into some of the worst mental warfare I’ve experienced (and some physical ones on top of it). To the point that I had some VERY frustrated/heartbreaking/angry conversations with the Lord.

Through that though, He gently exposed more of the lies I had been believing - about myself and what I was or wasn’t worthy of.

Honesty leads to freedom.

The Holy Spirit is our counselor - this is His job! To show us where we have believed lies so they can be replaced by truth. He loves you. You can release every thought you’ve held captive to Him. He won’t run. He won’t be disgusted. HE LOVES YOU.

Today I woke up with clarity instead of heaviness. Even my physical pain was greatly reduced.

Burying emotions, thoughts, and feelings only harms you - mentally, physically, spiritually.

Here’s your sign to trust Him with them 🤍

Is every wound now healed in my life? Nope. But a few just got brought to the light - and that’s the first step.

David’s Psalms are such a great example of this process. David would cry out to the Lord - telling Him he felt forgotten, betrayed, rejected, unseen. In Psalm 13, he does just that…but there’s a “but” coming in the last 2 verses:

BUT he will rejoice and trust and be confident in the Lord.

What a model for our prayers. Raw honesty, but still standing on Truth.

Immerse yourself in the Word, and ask Him for revelation. That’s where growth, breakthrough, and healing begins 🤍

Remember, and ask in faith.

➡️ What is your first response to lack in your life?

Discussion, complaint, problem solving with our own ideas, ChatGPT, Google?

Jesus calls us to remember.

Remember His faithfulness.

Remember His ABUNDANCE of faithfulness.

And then ASK for what you need, with a heart posture of faith, trust, and belief.

Ask for wisdom.

Ask what He wants you to know in the situation.

Thank Him for the provision He will provide, even if you don’t know when or how He will give it.

Unfortunately, many of us find ourselves asking with a heart posture of fear, reaction to circumstances, and control. Likely because we don’t know or believe we are who He says we are.

Beloved.
New creations.
Co-heirs with Christ.
Royal priesthoods.

Without identity rooted in Christ, we are unstable, double-minded, and filled with doubt. James says that we shouldn’t expect to receive anything from the Lord when asking from this posture 😱

(*Notice he didn’t say that He WON’T - just that we shouldn’t EXPECT IT.)

James says to ASK WITHOUT DOUBTING.

The only way this is possible is through the mind of Christ, which we have been given access to. (1 Corinthians 2:16) We can’t strive or try hard enough to have perfect faith to not doubt at all.

But through JESUS, anything is possible.

When we are secure in our identity, our heart posture changes naturally. We become more aligned with Christ. Our nervous system starts to feel safe. Our entire life changes. Faith grows and outpaces doubt.

And that is exactly what He wants for us.

If you don’t know where to start - if fear and doubt feel overwhelming - start by learning who He says you are.

The Lord met me this morning.

In the midst of physical pain.

In the midst of doubt and fear.

He brought to the surface hidden doubts and fears so that I could confess them to Him (and myself). So that they could be dragged into the light.

And then, He met me. Through a devotion written in 1868.

Line by line, speaking directly do me. Kindly and lovingly telling me “this is the way, walk in it”. 😭

Just like He promised to in Isaiah 30:21.

He is merciful, loving, and compassionate.

I hope this encourages someone else as well. 🤍

“To whom should I repair but to Himself by the direct appeal of prayer and the plain argument of promise?”

Keep praying His promises 🤍

Months after I had been obeying in this mundane (kind of random) act, God started to reveal to me that it was training so that I could hear His voice in this super loud, distraction filled word.

Every act of obedience was an invitation into greater relationship and intimacy with Him.

Has anyone else experienced this?!

I got convicted while editing this video and had to come back and record more - you’ll see it halfway through 😅

If you want to keep growing your faith, here’s 3 practical things you can do:

1️⃣ Immerse yourself in God’s Word. Faith comes by HEARING (Romans 10:17). Pray verses out loud over yourself every day.

2️⃣ Obey even when it doesn’t make any sense. Not only does this help your faith (as you start to see the fruit from your obedience), but it’s also training to hear God’s voice clearer.

If you need a full blueprint and complete clarity before you act, that’s not faith, that’s fear and control masquerading as obedience (😅).

Quick side note: don’t think of obedience like commands given to a dog. We can obey God because He is the wisest Father to have ever existed - and we can trust that He has our best interests in mind even when we don’t see it yet. Just like a parent would tell their child not to touch the stove because they would get burned, so does He guide us in life.

3️⃣ Ask God! Ask Him for strength to obey (heck, maybe even the desire to want to obey!), tell Him you believe but ask for help with your unbelief (Mark 9:24), ask for wisdom and discernment.

Faith cannot become stagnant. Don’t become so comfortable that you stay where God was instead of moving where He is going!

Day 2: Mark 9:14-29 “I believe, help my unbelief!”

Our participation (faith) is required to receive some of the Lord’s promises. Just like we accept salvation by faith, we also take hold of His other promises made to us by faith.
