    Does God Really Love Me? Understanding God’s Love, Forgiveness & Salvation

    Does God really love you—even after everything you’ve done? Does He still want to hear from you? Can you come to Him just as you are? The answer is yes. God loves you deeply, and He desires a personal relationship with you. You don’t have to make yourself perfect before coming to Him. Jesus came because we needed a Savior. In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we explore what God’s Word says about: • How deeply God loves you • Why Jesus came and died for our sins • How to receive God’s forgiveness • What it means to repent and return to God • How to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior • Practical ways to begin growing in your relationship with God We also look at the parable of the prodigal son and the beautiful picture it gives us of a loving Father watching and waiting for His child to return. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” —1 John 1:9 NIV If you have never accepted Jesus—or if you have drifted away and want to return—stay until the end and pray with me. God’s arms are open, and it is never too late to come home. If you prayed the prayer of salvation today, please leave a comment saying, “I’m choosing to follow Jesus.” I would love to celebrate with you and welcome you into the family of God!

    Trusting God with Your Finances: His Names, His Character, His Provision

    Have you ever looked at your bills, your bank account, or an unexpected expense and immediately felt anxious? You know God is your provider, but sometimes what you see makes it difficult to rest in what you believe. In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we turn our attention away from fear and toward the names and character of God. When we remember who He is, we can approach our finances with greater faith, peace, wisdom, and confidence. Together, we will discover God as: • Jehovah-Jireh—The Lord Who Provides • Jehovah-Shalom—The Lord Is Peace • Jehovah-M’Kaddesh—The Lord Who Sanctifies • El Shaddai—God Almighty, our All-Sufficient One • Our Shepherd • Our Abba Father • Our faithful God • Our Rock • Elohim, our Creator • Our good and generous God • The God who provides abundance for His purposes We will also put on the full Armor of God, explore Scriptures about God’s provision, and speak biblical declarations over our lives and finances. Trusting God does not mean ignoring our financial responsibilities. It means inviting Him into our work, spending, saving, giving, and financial decisions while asking for His wisdom, direction, peace, and provision. Remember: your present circumstances do not change God’s character. He is faithful. He sees you, He loves you, and He is able to guide you one faithful step at a time.

    Joseph Part 3: Don’t Judge God’s Plan in the Middle of Your Story | Genesis 44–47

    What if one day you could look back and finally SEE what God was doing all along? ❤️ Joseph’s story began with a dream. Then came betrayal. The pit. Slavery. False accusation. Prison. Being forgotten. And finally—the palace. But in Part 3 of our Joseph series, we see something even more powerful: RESTORATION. 🙌 God wasn’t only working on Joseph during all those years. He was working on his brothers too. Judah—the brother who once suggested selling Joseph into slavery—now offers to become a slave HIMSELF so Benjamin can go free. What a transformation! And then comes the moment we’ve been waiting for…“I AM JOSEPH!” Joseph reveals himself to his brothers. But instead of revenge, he recognizes something incredible: 📖 “It was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.” — Genesis 45:5 Joseph could finally look back and see what he couldn’t see when he was 17. The pit wasn’t the end. Slavery wasn’t the end. The false accusation wasn’t the end. Prison wasn’t the end. Being forgotten wasn’t the end. GOD HAD BEEN WORKING THROUGH THE ENTIRE STORY.Genesis 50:20 brings Joseph’s journey together: 📖 “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good…” In Joseph Part 3, we walk through Genesis 44–47:12 and talk about: ✨ Joseph’s final test of his brothers ✨ Judah’s incredible transformation ✨ Sacrificial love, Forgiveness and reconciliation ✨ God turning what was intended for harm into good ✨ Jacob discovering Joseph is ALIVE ✨ God’s favor flowing through Joseph to bless others ✨ Trusting God when you cannot see the whole story Jacob once said, “Everything is against me.” But everything WASN’T against him. Jacob simply didn’t know the whole story. Joseph wasn’t dead. God was preserving him. And the son Jacob thought he had lost would become part of God’s provision for his entire family. Maybe you’re looking at something in your life today and thinking: “God, I don’t understand how You could possibly use this.” Remember Joseph. What looked like a pit was part of the journey. What looked like slavery became training. What looked like prison created a connection. What looked like being forgotten was a delay before the appointed time. And what looked like famine became the circumstance that reunited a family. DON’T JUDGE GOD’S PLAN FROM THE MIDDLE OF YOUR STORY. ❤️ Trust Him. Follow Him. Obey Him. When you can’t see what He’s doing, remember: GOD SEES THE WHOLE STORY. 🎙️ Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis ▶️ YouTube: @heatherbulthuis4627 📺 Rumble: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis 🌐 Podcast: TakeBackYourAuthorityWithHeatherBulthuis.Riverside.com 📬 Prayer Requests • Testimonies • Snail Mail Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis 2220 Otay Lakes Road Suite 502 Unit #931 Chula Vista, CA 91915 ❤️ If this series encouraged you, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE, and turn on notifications.

    Joseph Part 2: From Prison to Palace — God’s Timing Is Always Perfect | Genesis 41–43

    Have you ever wondered why God is making you WAIT? ❤️ When we left Joseph in Part 1, he was sitting in prison. He had faithfully interpreted the cupbearer’s dream and asked him to remember him. But the cupbearer forgot. And Joseph waited… TWO MORE YEARS. Then suddenly, Pharaoh had a dream that no one could interpret. The cupbearer remembered Joseph. Joseph was brought out of the dungeon, stood before Pharaoh, and when Pharaoh told him he had heard Joseph could interpret dreams, Joseph gave one of the most powerful answers in his story: 📖 “I cannot do it… but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” — Genesis 41:16 Joseph didn’t promote himself. HE PROMOTED GOD. 🙌 And in what appears to happen incredibly quickly, Joseph goes from PRISONER to second-in-command over EGYPT. But God had been preparing Joseph for YEARS. Potiphar’s house was preparation. The prison was preparation. Managing people was preparation. Waiting was preparation. And when God’s appointed time arrived, everything changed. In Part 2 of my three-part Joseph series, we walk through Genesis 41–43 and talk about: ✨ God’s perfect timing ✨ Joseph’s humility ✨ Going from the prison to the palace ✨ God preparing us in unexpected places ✨ The fulfillment of Joseph’s dream more than 20 years later ✨ God’s favor and provision ✨ Jacob declaring, “Everything is against me!” when he didn’t know the whole story ✨ How fear can cause us to imagine things that aren’t true ✨ The transformation already happening in Joseph’s brothers ✨ And why a DELAY does NOT mean God has forgotten you One of my favorite moments happens when Joseph’s brothers are terrified because they’re being taken to his house. They imagine they’re about to be attacked, overpowered, and made slaves. But what was REALLY happening? A TABLE was being prepared for them. ❤️ Fear was telling them one story. The truth was completely different. Maybe you’re looking at circumstances in your own life today and wondering: “God, what are You doing?” Remember Joseph. DON’T JUDGE GOD’S PLAN FROM THE MIDDLE OF YOUR STORY. The delay does NOT mean God has forgotten you. The closed door does NOT mean there isn’t another way. And what fear is telling you is not necessarily the truth. TRUST GOD. HE SEES WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE. ❤️ 🎙️ JOSEPH — PART 2: From Prison to Palace Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis ▶️ YouTube: @heatherbulthuis4627 📺 Rumble: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis 🌐 Podcast Website: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis on Riverside 📬 SNAIL MAIL / PRAYER REQUESTS / TESTIMONIES Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis 2220 Otay Lakes Road Suite 502 Unit #931 Chula Vista, CA 91915 ❤️ If this message encourages you, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE it with someone who may be in a waiting season.

    Joseph Part 1: Don’t Judge God’s Plan in the Middle of Your Story | Genesis 37–40

    What if the difficult chapter you’re walking through right now is NOT the end of your story? ❤️ Welcome to Part 1 of my three-part series on the incredible story of Joseph. Joseph received a dream from God at 17 years old—but what happened next looked NOTHING like the dream. He was betrayed by his brothers. Thrown into a pit. Sold into slavery. Taken far away from his family. Falsely accused. Thrown into prison. And eventually forgotten. Yet throughout Joseph’s story, Scripture keeps reminding us: “The LORD was with Joseph.” His circumstances changed—but GOD’S PRESENCE DIDN’T. In this episode, we walk through Genesis 37, 39 and 40 and look at Joseph’s dreams, his brothers’ jealousy, God’s protection and favor, Joseph’s integrity in Potiphar’s house, temptation, false accusation, the cupbearer and baker, and what it means to keep trusting God when you cannot see what He is doing. We’ll also talk about an important truth: God’s favor doesn’t always LOOK like favor while you’re walking through the middle of the story. The pit wasn’t the end. Slavery wasn’t the end. The false accusation wasn’t the end. Prison wasn’t the end. And whatever difficult season you’re walking through today—God is still working. ❤️ DON’T JUDGE GOD’S PLAN FROM THE MIDDLE OF YOUR STORY.

    DON’T COME DOWN! | Nehemiah: How to Keep Building When the Enemy Attacks

    🔥 What do you do when you KNOW God has called you to something—but opposition keeps coming? Nehemiah was given an assignment from God: rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. But the moment he began moving forward, opposition came. Mockery. Threats. Fear. Lies. Intimidation. Distraction. Deception. But Nehemiah refused to quit. He PRAYED. He sought GOD first. He walked in OBEDIENCE. He asked God for FAVOR. He used WISDOM and DISCERNMENT. And he KEPT BUILDING. When his enemies tried repeatedly to lure him away from his assignment, Nehemiah answered: 📖 “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down.” — Nehemiah 6:3 What a message for us today! DON’T COME DOWN FROM THE WALL. Don't abandon what God has put in your heart because opposition showed up. Don't let criticism stop you. Don't let fear weaken your hands. Don't let lies distract you. Don't allow every invitation or opportunity to pull you away from your God-given assignment. PRAY. PREPARE. OBEY. STAND. AND KEEP BUILDING. In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we walk through Nehemiah 1–7:3 and discover how Nehemiah continually relied upon God through every stage of his assignment. 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE: • Seeking God BEFORE taking action • Asking God for favor • Recognizing God's direction • Why favor doesn't mean you won't face opposition • Praying AND using practical wisdom • Standing against fear and intimidation • Recognizing distractions and deception • Asking God for wisdom and discernment • Refusing to come down from your assignment • Keeping the Sword of the Spirit—God's Word—close • Walking in obedience and integrity • Finishing what God called you to do After all the opposition, the wall was completed in 52 days. And Scripture tells us that even their enemies recognized that the work had been accomplished with the help of God. Maybe you're building something right now. A ministry. A business. A family. A marriage. A relationship with God. Your health. A dream or calling God has placed in your heart. Whatever your “wall” is: KEEP BUILDING. 🙏 Ask God for wisdom. 🙏 Ask Him for discernment. 🙏 Ask Him for favor. 🙏 Listen for His direction. 🙏 And be obedient when He tells you what to do. “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down.” — Nehemiah 6:3 🎙️ Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis Subscribe and follow for more Bible teaching and faith-filled encouragement. ▶️ YouTube: Heather Bulthuis ▶️ Rumble: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis 📸 Instagram: @heather.bulthuis ❤️ Facebook: Heather Bulthuis 🎙️ Podcast: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis 📬 MAIL: Heather Bulthuis 2220 Otay Lakes Road Suite 502 Unit #931 Chula Vista, CA 91915 Know who you are in Christ.

    The Devil Hopes You NEVER Realize the Authority Jesus Gave You ⚔️

    Do you know the AUTHORITY Jesus Christ has given you? Jesus said: “I have given you authority… to overcome all the power of the enemy.” — Luke 10:19 Yet many Christians don’t fully understand the authority they have IN CHRIST. The enemy wants you distracted, discouraged, afraid, and believing his lies. But Jesus showed us how to respond. When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus answered: “IT IS WRITTEN.” Jesus responded to deception with the WORD OF GOD. And we can do the same. In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we’re talking about how to recognize the enemy’s schemes, put on the full Armor of God, use the Sword of the Spirit, resist the devil, and STAND firmly on God’s Word. “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” — James 4:7 Our authority isn’t found in ourselves. Our authority comes through JESUS CHRIST. IN THIS EPISODE: • Recognizing the enemy’s lies • The battlefield of the mind • Putting on the Armor of God • Using Scripture against deception • Understanding Luke 10:19 • Replacing lies with God’s TRUTH • Resisting the enemy • Standing firm in faith • Biblical declarations to speak over your life When fear comes: “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV When you feel defeated: “We are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” — Romans 8:37 And never forget: “The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” — 1 John 4:4 JESUS is our focus. Satan is not equal to God. Jesus has already won the victory. Colossians 2:15 tells us Christ disarmed the powers and authorities and triumphed over them through the cross. When you recognize a lie of the enemy, remember: RECOGNIZE. REJECT. REPLACE. RESIST. “And after you have done everything, to stand.” — Ephesians 6:13 Submit to God. Put on your armor. Know your Bible. Speak God’s truth. Resist the enemy. And STAND. The enemy has schemes… but JESUS has already WON. If this episode encourages you, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE.

    God Does His BEST Work in the Dark 🌱 | You’re Not Buried—You’re Being Planted

    What if the darkest season of your life isn’t the end of your story—but the place where God is preparing you for what comes NEXT? 🌱 Before a seed ever breaks through the soil, something incredible happens where nobody can see it. **Roots begin to grow.** And throughout the Bible, we see God working in people's lives during seasons that looked dark, delayed, difficult, and even impossible. Moses had the wilderness before God used him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Joseph had the pit, slavery, and prison before God elevated him in Egypt and used him to help save people during the famine. Jonah had the belly of the fish before going to Nineveh. Daniel had the lions' den. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had the fiery furnace. David had the wilderness and caves before the throne. And Jesus had the cross and the tomb before the RESURRECTION. There is a pattern: **Darkness → Preparation → Breakthrough → Purpose** Maybe you're walking through your own hidden season right now. You’ve prayed. You’ve believed. You’ve tried to obey God. But nothing seems to be changing. **Don't assume that because you can't SEE God working, God isn't working.** Maybe He's strengthening your faith. Maybe He's developing your character. Maybe He's teaching you patience and obedience. Maybe He's redirecting you. Maybe He's developing roots strong enough to carry the fruit you've been asking Him for. 📖 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we're looking at these incredible biblical stories and what they can teach us about trusting God during the seasons when we can't see what He's doing. 🌱 Don't give up because you haven't broken through the soil yet. Stay in God's Word. Stay in prayer. Stay obedient. Stay close to Jesus. And trust God's timing. **Your hidden season is not necessarily a wasted season.** 🙏 If this episode encourages you, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE it with someone who's walking through a dark season right now. 🎙️ TAKE BACK YOUR AUTHORITY WITH HEATHER BULTHUIS 🌐 Website: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis takebackyourauthoritywithheatherbulthuis.riverside.com ▶️ YouTube: Heather Bulthuis — @heatherbulthuis4627 📸 Instagram: @heather.bulthuis 💙 Facebook: Heather Bulthuis 🎥 Rumble: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis 🙏 31 Prayer Poems: https://stan.store/heatherbulthuis 💌 SNAIL MAIL: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis 2220 Otay Lakes Road Suite 502 Unit #931 Chula Vista, CA 91915 **Remember: Don't write the ending while God is still writing your story. ❤️** #TrustGod #GodsTiming #ChristianPodcast #Faith #TakeBackYourAuthority
