Walk Boldly With Jesus Catherine Duggan

Today’s episode is actually a repeat episode. I am flying to Florida this weekend to celebrate one of my very best friends as she is getting married next month. While down there I will also visit my brother. So, I decided to take these next five days off from writing a new episode and yet didn’t want to leave you without any episodes. I am going to play the top 5 most popular episodes over the next 5 days. Today’s episode is actually episode #9 I have loved you with an everlasting love. I hope you enjoy hearing it again.

Ephesians 3:4-6 “As you read over what I have written to you, you’ll be able to see for yourselves into the mystery of Christ. None of our ancestors understood this. Only in our time has it been made clear by God’s Spirit through his holy apostles and prophets of this new order. The mystery is that people who have never heard of God and those who have heard of him all their lives (what I’ve been calling outsiders and insiders) stand on the same ground before God. They get the same offer, same help, same promises in Christ Jesus. The Message is accessible and welcoming to everyone across the board.” Today's episode talks about how great it is that God loves us all the same and that we are all on equal footing with the Lord. It goes into a bit of detail about how freeing this information can be. It also touches on how we all have the same Holy Spirit living inside of us and so we can all be praying for our loved ones who are sick.

Today’s witness is a friend, Bruce & his wife, Alice, whom I met through email back in November of 2023. The Holy Spirit led Bruce to my podcast, and as he listened, he heard the call for people to share their stories, and he decided to do a Witness Wednesday. His first witness is episode #619. If you haven’t heard it, I invite you to listen to it today. It is really good. Bruce has made a career for the past thirty years as a head scenic artist, art director, and designer in the professional theatre business. For the past five years, he has also had a studio on James St. N., where he produced his own artwork. He is known and loved by many in the community for his work teaching the PMC art class for over a decade, as well as a more recent class for seniors at the YWCA.
In the first witness, Bruce talks about how he lost his sight sort of gradually, and then he went to a healing service and was healed. However, in the morning, he could no longer see again. After hearing his witness, I asked Bruce if I could pray over him. He said yes, and I called him and his wife and prayed with them. His sight was not restored, but he felt encouraged by the Lord. I continued to pray for Bruce, and we kept in touch. Several months later, while talking to the Lord, I felt like the Lord told me it was time to pray for Bruce again. Today's witness is about that encounter.
We have all seen God working in our lives. However, we might not all be aware it is God working in our lives.  This is why it is so important we start talking about it more.  The more we share our experiences, the more people understand how God works and how much He truly loves us.  If you would be willing to share any experience of how God has worked or is working in your life, please email me at catherine@findingtruenorthcoaching.com or click here.  It won’t take up much of your time, and your story could be just the story that someone needs to hear today.  Prayerfully consider sharing.  Everyone has a story, and the world needs to hear them.

Joshua 3:13 “When the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the ark of the Lord, the Lord of the whole earth, touch the waters of the Jordan, it will cease to flow; the water flowing down from upstream will halt in a single heap.” Today's episode reminds us that miracles do happen. They happen more than we think, and they can happen to anyone. They are not just for a select few people. They are not just for the holiest people; they are for everyone who asks, seeks, and believes. If you are in need of a miracle, ask for it!

Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Today's episode talks about the difference between the Holy Spirit of the Old Testament and the Holy Spirit of the New Testament. It also reminds us that we all have the Holy Spirit living inside of us and can all ask the Lord for the gifts the Holy Spirit wants to give us.

Today, I felt led to start with this poem I read the other day by John Roedel because it beautifully demonstrates that we don’t always understand what God is doing. We think we are a mess, we feel like we are falling apart, we feel like God has abandoned us, and yet God is ALWAYS right there in the middle of it all! He knows exactly what He is doing and wants us to trust Him in the process. This poem gives us some insight into that process. I feel it makes it a little easier to trust when we have a bit of understanding. This conversation is between someone and God.
