Empowered To Live Your Purpose Rhiannon Staal

Today's episode was a reminder that I needed so I thought I would share it with you too. 

Perseverance might be the missing key to seeing the breakthrough you need and feeling successful.

There are a couple keys to seeing breakthrough:

1) Don't Give up = persevere

"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." Galatians 6:9 NKJV

Your effort, through endurance will lead to outcome. 

Ask & keep on asking. "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." Matt 7:8 (Luke 11:10)

2) Focus on Jesus & His promises and not the problems.

Drop the distractions

Additional Scriptures Referenced:

3 John 2, 1 Peter 5:7, Jeremiah 29:11

In today's episode I have the privilege of chatting with a sister in Christ, Jenasa Prudhomme. She gives her powerful testimony of how God brought her out of the New Age Occult and redeemed her and brought her into freedom in Jesus. She is a wife, stay at home momma and kingdom minded entrepreneur with a passion to make Jesus known.

We hear her testimony, talk about the new age practices that too many people, including Christians, are falling into and the power of baptism.

You can follow Jenasa and her encouraging account in IG @createyourearthlife, or listen to her great podcast #createyourearthlife on all major platforms.

As always, I am rooting for you.

XO Rhi

In today's episode I remind you of the Hope we have in Jesus. It might seem too simplistic, but God is simple. We overcomplicate life and connection with God. He loves us dearly and has given us steps to get unstuck and let go of the overwhelm.

Joy, and gratitude and freedom are possible.

I provide Biblical encouragement and practical steps to find more hope and joy.

Bible References: Hebrews 6:19, Proverbs 15:15, Romans 8:26-35, Ephesians 3:20

I'm rooting for you friend!

In today's episode I am speaking grace and favor to you stay at home mommas. You are not valued for what you do, but whose you are. You are loved and enjoyed by your heavenly Father because He chose you as His own. As His dearly loved daughter you have free access to His gracious favor, kindness, peace and joy. Our Father is for you. He cares deeply about the details of your life and wants to walk closely with you. He has given you His Holy Spirit to live inside you so you are never separated from Him. He is your counselor, guide, friend, teacher and helper. When your heart feels overwhelmed you can lift your eyes back off of your circumstances, or your own fears and look at the loving, accepting, quick to forgive face of papa God.

I encourage you to read Ephesians 1 & 2 to see how we have been given this free grace gift, and we are wrapped in Jesus. When God looks at us He sees His perfect son, not our sins.

You are loved momma and I am rooting for you.

XOXO -Rhi

Welcome back to the show- Right off the bat I correct something I misspoke. In talking about the father with the demon possessed son and his prayer to Jesus I accidentally left off the chapter the story is found in. It is in Mark 9:19, 23-24, not Mark 24

One of the scriptures that has been a plea and prayer from me over the years is Mark 9:24- “The boy’s father cried out with tears, saying, “I do believe, Lord; help my little faith (unbelief)!”

Many people believe in God, but few trust Him. At first blush faith and trust seem like the same thing. We must believe that God exists (that’s faith), and that He is a rewarder (that is trust) of those who diligently seek Him. Faith alone won’t unlock the fullness of God’s desire for you and thoughts toward you, because you won’t fully have faith in someone you don’t trust the character of.

One saying that I have thought of over the years is that when we know God, we can trust His ways even when we can’t see His hand.

Our lives are often driven by what we believe we can trust in. We choose partners in life, friendship and business based on what we believe is reliable and trustworthy. As women, we particularly are drawn to what makes us feel safe and secure (we know we can trust it), but even our best effort to make good decisions about whom we can trust can fall short because we are measuring them up, or the situation we’re stepping into against our limited vision and ability. When I allow my trust to fully lean on Jesus and the ability of His Spirit to speak to me, counsel me and help me then I don’t have to live scared of the choices I make, or the people I connect with.

So many of us have been raised in the church and taught an incorrect picture of Jesus, either overtly or inadvertently. Maybe it was the natural father you had that was harsh and critical, or aloof and uninterested unless you did something extraordinary. Somewhere along the way we believed that God is like that: harsh, judgmental, aloof and disappointed in us unless we perform well enough. The good news is that the Bible is full of the truth about God’s kindness toward us and the unmerited favor He gives us. 

God’s deep love for us is never changing. We can’t do anything to make Him love us more than He does right now, and we can’t do anything to make Him love us less. His love for us won’t leave us where we are because He has better plans for us than anything we could ever ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Sister, embrace that you aren’t ever going to be good enough to attain holiness on your own, but God already knew that and loved you anyway. He looks at you and gets excited about the potential He has inside of you and the glorious future He is preparing for you. Rest in His love for you today.

I believe God is saying right now- “I see you striving and it breaks my heart to see you bear the weight that I have already taken on your own. I love you and enjoy being with you even when you aren’t “doing’ anything. Just BE with me. Rest in my acceptance and let your striving cease. I will lead you and guide you like the good shepherd that I am and show you which way to go so you are refreshed and your mind, will and emotions are restored.”

Scripture references: Romans 8:31-35, Ephesians 3:20, Romans 12:2
