Spiritually Fit For The Kingdom Regina Cade

This episode was inspired by my own personal, recent experience with being burdened by LIFE and allowing that to dictate how I did LIFE in that moment in time. Being able to recognize if we have truly cast our cares over to the Lord versus using our self-willed tools of coping instead can be a game changer in how we experience God in the midst of it all. We have all been there where we've prayed, "Jesus help!" but in our hearts we haven't truly let go. Can we go ahead and talk about carrying heavy burdens, what it looks/feels like and how I decided to overcome?

Can we talk about the walls we put up to keep people out and to protect ourselves, especially from feeling pain? In this episode we are going to talk about the difference between having walls versus guarding our hearts. Then I will share a few tips about making the transition from walls to guarding your heart in Christ.

This episode will give you 3 practical tips that have helped me grow in relationship with God. It was a challenge to want to get up early to pray and read the Bible consistently. It was such a struggle to not put my selfish ambitions ahead of God will. My connection with God and ability to know Him intimately was hindered because of what I wasn't willing sacrifice and what I didn't know. I had to learn to practice being with God more than anything.

All of us will experience disappointments grief and challenging times in life at some point. These things in life can sometimes break us.. They can cause us so much pain, confusion and despair that we don't know which way is up or how to get out. From a place of brokenness we can gain access to God. Jesus knows these emotions very well. We can take notes from His experience in the garden. His struggle right before His betrayal was a night full of turmoil and anguish but He submitted His will to the Father and left prayer with the strength and confidence He needed to knowing God was with Him and working His perfect plan.

When we wear the label of Christian in a broad sense, it is because we are believers. Being a Christian should be so much more! We bear the name of life, hope, solution and of the one true God. Lost in the world, sorely confused or unskilled in the spirit, our sinful nature tends to lead us into places we never set out or intended to go. Accepting ideologies and lifestyles that do not represent God is a trap of the enemy. Let's journey together to discover how we should view sin habits in our lives and some keys that will lead us to God's solutions for our lives today.
