I have been on a faith journey for nearly 30 years, and have often struggled with consistency in the Word, wondering if I’m praying ”right”, and wondering if I’m hearing from God or if it’s just my own thoughts.

    When You’ve Stopped Expecting God to Move | Acts 12:1-19 [S4 E90]

    Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever prayed for something so earnestly… only to struggle to believe God was actually answering it? In today’s Bible study through Acts 12, we walk through one of the most powerful and human moments in scripture. The church gathered together praying faithfully for Peter while unable to believe when Peter actually shows up.  And honestly? Many of us can relate more than we realize. Sometimes disappointment, grief, waiting, and unanswered prayers can wear us down so deeply that even while we’re praying, part of us quietly stops expecting God to move. Today, we’re talking about prayer, trust, discouragement, and what it means to keep believing that God is still working… even when we cannot fully see it yet. 📖 In This Bible Study: • Acts 12:1–19 study and devotional • Peter’s miraculous prison escape • Why prayer still matters • Trusting God in seasons of disappointment • How prayer changes us • Encouragement for spiritually weary seasons 🔗 Helpful Links For the Soul Prayer Journal: circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Accept Jesus Into Your Heart: peacewithgod.net/steps/ Support the Ministry: paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📚 Resources Blue Letter Bible blueletterbible.org BibleRef bibleref.com Bible Study Fellowship bsfinternational.org 🎶 Music Music by Epidemic Sound 📌 Note Some links may be affiliate links which help support the ministry at no additional cost to you.

    Obedience Is Your Part. The Outcome Is God’s. (Let Go of Control) | Acts 11:19-30 [S3 E89]

    Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever struggled to obey God because you weren’t completely sure how things would turn out? In today’s Bible study through Acts 11:19-30, we look at the early church in Antioch and the powerful way these believers responded with generosity, obedience, and trust, even without having all the answers.  This scripture reminds us that obedience isn’t always comfortable or convenient, but God can use even our smallest acts of faithfulness in ways far beyond what we can see. 📖 In This Bible Study: ✨ The spread of the Gospel beyond Jerusalem ✨ Why Antioch became such an important city in Acts ✨ The first time believers were called Christians ✨ Barnabas and Saul’s role in strengthening the church ✨ What “Give and Let God” really means ✨ How generosity transforms us spiritually and emotionally ✨ Trusting God without needing guarantees first 🔗 Helpful Links 💛 For the Soul Prayer Journal: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal ✨ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart: https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 🙏 Support the Ministry: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📚 Resources Blue Letter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org BibleRef https://www.bibleref.com Bible Study Fellowship https://www.bsfinternational.org “How do you care for your brain” with ​⁠​⁠ on Mature Me https://youtu.be/znDno1oJnXE?si=TXImNBHTDI2rEhE7 🎶 Music: Buenos Dias by Matt Large Epidemic Sound 📌 Note: Some links above may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

    When You Choose Obedience Over Approval | Acts 11:1-18 Bible Study [S4 E88]

    Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever felt like God was leading you somewhere… but the people around you just didn’t understand it? In today’s Bible study through Acts 11, we’re walking through the moment Peter had to explain why he followed the leading of the Holy Spirit even when it challenged tradition, expectations, and the opinions of others. This scripture is such a powerful reminder that obedience to God will not always be comfortable or widely accepted. Sometimes God will ask us to move beyond what feels familiar so He can reveal something greater. And Sis… if you’ve ever struggled with fear of people’s opinions, hesitation to obey, or wondering if you should stay quiet to keep others comfortable… this episode is for you. 💛 📖 In This Bible Study ✨ Acts 11:1–18 explained ✨ Peter’s response to criticism and opposition ✨ The tension between tradition and obedience ✨ Why God’s work often stretches our understanding ✨ Learning to trust God even when others don’t understand ✨ “Who am I to stand in God’s way?”   🔗 Helpful Links 💛 For the Soul Prayer Journal https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 💛 Join the Circle Time Collective https://circletimeforthesoul.com/collective 💛 Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 💛 Support the Ministry https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📚 Resources 📖 Blue Letter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org 📖 BibleRef https://www.bibleref.com 📖 Bible Study Fellowship https://www.bsfinternational.org 📖 Through the Bible with Pastor Paul https://www.lifebibleministry.com/through-the-bible 🎶 Music Buenos Dias by Matt Large Music from Epidemic Sound 📌 Note Some links above may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

    Hey Sis 💛 What if the person God keeps placing on your heart… isn’t random? In today’s Bible study through Acts 10, we walk through a powerful moment where God prepares both Peter and Cornelius for a divine encounter that would change lives forever. Before they ever met, the Holy Spirit was already moving behind the scenes, arranging details, softening hearts, and preparing the way. This chapter reminds us that obedience isn’t always about having all the answers. Sometimes it’s simply about being willing to move when God prompts you to. And Sis… what if God is trying to reach someone through you? 📖 In This Bible Study ✨ Acts 10 explained ✨ Peter and Cornelius ✨ The Holy Spirit preparing hearts ✨ Divine appointments in scripture ✨ God shows no favoritism ✨ Obedience when God says move ✨ Seeing people through God’s eyes ✨ The Gospel reaching the Gentiles 🔗 Helpful Links 🙏 Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 💛 Prayer Journal https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 🤝 Join the Circle Time Collective https://circletimeforthesoul.com/collective 💛 Support the Ministry https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📚 Resources for Spiritual Growth 📖 Blue Letter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org 📖 BibleRef https://www.bibleref.com 📖 Bible Study Fellowship https://www.bsfinternational.org 📖 Through the Bible with Pastor Paul https://www.lifebibleministry.com/through-the-bible 📖 Spiritual Growth Bible (NLT) https://amzn.to/4urjU8R 🎶 Music Buenos Dias by Matt Large via Epidemic Sound 📌 Note Some links above may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

    Saul Didn’t Reinvent Himself — Jesus Transformed Him | Acts 9:19-31 Bible Study [S4 E85]

    ✨ SUPPORT THE JOURNAL LAUNCH KICKSTARTER (LIMITED COPIES!) 👉 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1784105828/for-the-soul-prayer-journal Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever felt stuck between who you used to be… and who God is calling you to become? In today’s Bible study through Acts 9:19–31, we witness one of the most powerful transformations in all of scripture as Saul goes from persecuting believers to boldly preaching Jesus. But this episode is about more than Saul’s story. It’s about the difference between self-help and true surrender. The world constantly tells us to reinvent ourselves, fix ourselves, and heal ourselves through more striving, more productivity, and more pressure. But real transformation doesn’t happen through performance. It happens through Jesus. If you’ve been exhausted trying to change your life in your own strength, this episode is a reminder that God is still in the business of transforming hearts, renewing minds, and calling people into purpose. 📖 In This Bible Study ✨ Acts 9:19–31 explained ✨ Saul’s transformation after encountering Jesus ✨ Why surrender changes us more than self-help ever can ✨ The renewing of your mind through God’s Word ✨ Trusting God with your transformation journey ✨ Why no one is too far gone for Jesus ✨ Walking boldly in your new identity in Christ   🔗 Helpful Links 💛 Circle Time Prayer Journal https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 🙏 Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 🤝 Join the Circle Time Collective https://circletimeforthesoul.com/collective 💛 Support the Ministry https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6   📚 Resources for Spiritual Growth 📖 Blue Letter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org 📖 BibleRef https://www.bibleref.com 📖 Bible Study Fellowship https://www.bsfinternational.org 📖 Through the Bible with Pastor Paul https://www.lifebibleministry.com/through-the-bible 📖 Spiritual Growth Bible (NLT) https://amzn.to/4urjU8R   🎶 Music Buenos Dias by Matt Large Music from Epidemic Sound 📌 Note Some links above may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
