Adventures With Jesus, Today Lisa van den Berg

I remember being taught how to build a fire as a young girl.
 
We were on a leadership camp with school, and each group was given a box of matches and a raw chicken, and told to make our own dinner! It was up to us to make the fire, suspend the chicken over it, and cook it until it was completely done (so we didn’t make ourselves sick).
 
We listened to what we were supposed to do and all sat there a little shell-shocked for a few minutes, until our grumbling bellies helped us to start making a plan to feed them 😊
 
First we had to gather kindling so the fire had something to start it off with
Next, some small twigs to catch light and give us flames big enough for the larger pieces of wood we gathered to stay lit.
Then large pieces that would make a fire hot enough to cook a whole chicken!
 
Phew, what I learned about making and sustaining a fire that day has stayed with me until now and helped me in so many areas of my life.
 
I realized on a coaching call with a client the other day, that this is exactly how we get to nurture our relationship with God too.
 
In this video, you’ll see
✨ What it looks like to want to create a great relationship with Him
✨ How some intentional steps, from a heart full of love, can help you do that
✨ How very much the Father, Son and Spirit want to be on your mind all through the day, just like you are on Theirs.
 
So precious!💖I’m so looking forward to your heart expanding as you walk and talk with Them all throughout your day.

When my husband was about 6 years old, he had a dream (about 1974).
 
In the dream he was looking at a little screen on a band on his wrist. As he looked at it more closely, he realized that he could press the screen and images would appear.
 
He was so intrigued that he tucked that memory away even after he’d woken up.. Fast forward 40 years or so, and one day we were in the Apple store and he saw an Apple Watch!
 
I remember him blurting out in the middle of the store, “hey, I dreamed about this when I was young, and now here it is!”
As we sat talking it through we realized that God had showed him something that wasn’t yet invented, and was sharing a secret from the treasuries of Heaven.
 
Isn’t that wild?!Well, do you know that we have a promise in 1 Corinthians 2:16 that we ‘have the Mind of Christ’?
In the Amplified Classic version it says, “ we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.”
 
In today's episode, you'll discover:
 
✨ How to ask Jesus what He is thinking and feeling
✨ Discover how He feels about the way the two of you communicate now
✨ How excited he is to share with you what His purposes look like
 
WOW!
💖I’m excited to hear what He shares with you!

”Ooohhh, I think I found a chink in her armor! A place where her guard is down and we can get in and have access to her” 
 
OK, OK, I didn’t actually hear this, but I can imagine that’s what a conversation might sound like between 2 demons who are ‘roaring around like lions, seeking whom they may devour’ (1 Peter 5:8)
 
When we don’t listen to God’s call for healing the places in our souls where we are wounded, then we leave an opening for the enemy to come in.
 
Now why would we do that?
 
Let’s look at a practical scenario. If you live in a place where you know there are known thieves, you wouldn’t leave the front door to your house unlocked and standing wide open would you? No, of course not! You would make sure that your house is locked up tight so they couldn’t get any access.
 
Well, it’s just the same with us.
 
As you watch or listen to today’s episode let’s investigate how you can be aware of the schemes of the enemy and then take the action God prescribes in 1 Peter 5:8-11.

➡️ Episode 241 - Facing the enemy with Faith
 

I recently had an incredible conversation with a coaching client, where we received a profound revelation from the Lord.
 
We realized that many of us are striving to do what we believe is God's work—helping, serving, and balancing our busy lives.
 
However, the challenge lies in figuring out what to let go of.
Should we reduce volunteering, cut our kids' activities, or stop checking emails constantly?
 
During our discussion, God revealed a new perspective that changes everything. Instead of struggling to balance, we discovered a more harmonious approach to living our lives.
 
It was a true game changer for both of us!

God is interested in
Your past,Your present andYour future.
 
So interested in fact that Jesus came to deal with everything in your past - so that He could set you up for a great present, and future.
 
So we typically know how He has saved us from our past. And we live in the present, so we’re familiar with that. But what about our future? How much do we really know about what that looks like, and how we can agree with His plans for us?
 
So do you want to know how to invest into your future?
 
As you watch or listen to today’s episode I share a great example with you of what that can look like!  Come have a look.

Prayer is powerful – we all know this. But sometimes it can be difficult to do…
 
Sometimes we don’t know what to pray,
Or we get distracted and find that we’ve stopped praying without even knowing it,
Or we don’t think we’re seeing answers to our prayers, so we get discouraged.
 
But you know what, prayer is SUPER important to God too.
 
So as a way to help us, He gives us really practical ways to know how to pray, straight from the Bible.
 
As you watch or listen to today’s episode let Him show you how to engage with Him and let Him lead you in the specific ways to pray into specific situations (this is GOLD).
