    Practical Examples of How to Live Out God’s Word // Episode 024

    Let’s talk about how to activate the power of God’s word by using everyday moments in life to practice being in the presence of the Lord. As we’re journeying through life, we're learning how to put what we’ve read in His Word into practice which is teaching us how to walk with God and how to be more like Christ each day. My hope is that we will learn to view negative, unwanted emotions and situations as an opportunity to activate God's Word so that we can access more of His grace and attributes.  We are not bound to negativity; we are yoked to Christ and within Him is everything we need for success and godly living. When we build a life upon Jesus, who is our Rock, we can overcome anything. Hard times will come but if we practice becoming His word today and everyday, we can better prepare for tomorrow. May we build according to the pattern and the blueprints that was shown to us in His Holy Word. Join me as I share my testimony of how I applied these truths to my own life and how the Lord became a safe refuge when troubles arose. 🗝 Key Scripture References: 📖  ‭‭‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:24-25‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.” 📖  ‭‭James 1:22 ‭NLT “But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” - Stay connected to A Journey of Discovery: Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3fm53ozikBV8Q4nlDR95QQ Follow on Facebook: https://Facebook.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Tiktok: https://vm/tiktok.com/ZMeNdMQH9/

    How to Live Out God's Word // Episode 023

    Psalm 119:105 NIV reads “Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” I also love how Brian Simmons words it in TPT “Truth’s shining light guides me in my choices and decisions; & the revelation of your Word makes my pathway clear.”  We can clearly see from this scripture that God’s Word becomes a navigational tool guiding us physically, emotionally and mentally in life so that we can reach the desired destination that He’s already mapped out for us. But in order to do this, we must begin to live out His word in our normal everyday lives so that the transformative nature of His word can work in us and through us. May we search for opportunities in our everyday life and use this as training ground for spiritual growth and development. Join me as I share more. 🗝 Key Scripture References: 📖  ‭‭‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬ “Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.” 📖  ‭‭James 1:22 ‭NLT “But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” - Stay connected to A Journey of Discovery: Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3fm53ozikBV8Q4nlDR95QQ Follow on Facebook: https://Facebook.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Tiktok: https://vm/tiktok.com/ZMeNdMQH9/

    God’s Words Are Life In Difficult Times

    My goal these past six weeks was to position and equip you to hear God’s voice and to stress the importance of relationship with God.  In this video, I explain the reason behind this.   I want you to know that the focus of this channel isn’t to teach others how to hear God’s voice but to share my journey of discovering God and who I am in Christ. As I mentioned before, there was a time when I was once the only believer in my household.  This road was not an easy one but once I learned how to hear God’s voice, though I felt alone at times, I wasn’t because He was with me in every way. His words are the only words that can breathe life into your situation,  fill you with hope and comfort you in times of hurt.  In life you will encounter difficult circumstances, this my friend is guaranteed.  BUT you will also realize that He has given you everything you need to overcome.  All you need to do is look to HIm. Join me as I share more. 🗝 Key Scripture References: 📖  ‭‭John‬ ‭16:33 ‭NIV ‬‬ ‬“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” 📖  ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:24‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” - Stay connected to A Journey of Discovery: Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3fm53ozikBV8Q4nlDR95QQ Follow on Facebook: https://Facebook.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Tiktok: https://vm/tiktok.com/ZMeNdMQH9/

    Pitfall When Journaling God's Voice With an Idol in Your Heart - My Big Mistake

    When learning to hear God’s voice, we want to feel confident that we are receiving a pure word from Him. In order to do that, it's imperative that our hearts are clean before Him with no idols or hidden agendas within it.  Otherwise, we may be seeking for our own desires to be fulfilled while masking it as a word from the Lord.  Today, I wanted to share a past mistake I made and how my idol was me, my career and my desires. An idol is anything we make bigger than God....and in that situation, I placed my plans and happiness over the will of God. I learned a valuable lesson from that mistake and it taught me the importance of how to posture my heart when seeking guidance from the Lord. In the end, my hope is that we will follow the example of Jesus and say no matter how difficult it will be, “Not my will Father but Yours be done.” Then and only then will we be able to hear God’s voice clearly. - 🗝 Key Scripture References: 📖  ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20:3-4‬ ‭NIV ‬‬ “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.” 📖  ‭‭Luke‬ ‭22:42‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” - Stay connected to A Journey of Discovery: Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC3fm53ozikBV8Q4nIDR95QQ Follow on Facebook: https://Facebook.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Tiktok: https://vm/tiktok.com/ZMeNdMQH9

    What Does God's Voice Sound Like

    Have you ever wondered what God’s voice sounds like?  Join me as we discover that His voice may sound more familiar than you think. Key Scripture: 📖 1 Samuel 3:1-10 “Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision. At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place. The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called Samuel, and he said, “Here I am!” and ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” So he went and lay down. And the Lord called again, “Samuel!” and Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and if he calls you, you shall say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. And the Lord came and stood, calling as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant hears.” Then the Lord spoke to Samuel….. - Stay connected to A Journey of Discovery: Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC3fm53ozikBV8Q4nIDR95QQ Follow on Facebook: https://Facebook.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Tiktok: https://vm/tiktok.com/ZMeNdMQH9/

    The Ways God Speaks - Part 2

    Job 33:14 says God speaks all the time but sometimes we fail to perceive it. Years ago when I began my journey with the Lord, I believed the only way He spoke was audibly, through His Holy Bible and through the pastors and leaders of the church. But Scriptures tells us that God is vast and He can speak to us in a variety of ways. Join me as I share 8 of the 15 different ways that I’ve discovered how the Lord speaks. I pray you will be encouraged and recognize that God is speaking to you too. My hope is that after we discover the various ways God speaks that it will open us up to hear His voice each and every day. Here are 8 of the 15 ways that God speaks: 8. Still small voice – 📖 1 Kings 19:11-12 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.  When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 9. Emotions 📖 Matthew 9:36 “When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd.” 10. Creation 📖 Psalms 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” 11. Music 📖 2 Kings 3:15 “But now bring me a harpist.” While the harpist was playing, the hand of the Lord came on Elisha 16 and he said, “This is what the Lord says:….” 12. Prophecy 📖 Rev. 19:10 “The testimony of Jesus is prophecy” 13. Through Others 📖 Rev. 19:10 “The testimony of Jesus is prophecy” 14. Stories – Books, magazines, tv shows, movies, Devotionals, & Poetry 15. Events & Circumstances 📖 1 Sam 15:27-28 But Samuel said to him, “I will not go back with you. You have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you as king over Israel! As Samuel turned to leave, Saul caught hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore. Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors—to one better than you.” - Stay connected to A Journey of Discovery: Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC3fm53ozikBV8Q4nIDR95QQ Follow on Facebook: https://Facebook.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ajourneyofdiscovery.tjfrasier Follow on Tiktok: https://vm/tiktok.com/ZMeNdMQH9/

    The Ways God Speaks - Part 1 // Episode 017

    I remember as I began my journey with the Lord that I believed the only way He spoke was audibly, through His Word and through the pastors and leaders of the church. But Scriptures tells us that God is vast and He can speak to us in a variety of ways. Join me as I share 15 different ways that I’ve discovered how the Lord speaks.

Here are 7 of the 15 ways that God speaks: 1.Bible 📖 2 Tim 3:16 “All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2. Visions 📖 Acts 16:9 “During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.” 3. Dreams 📖 Psalm 16:7 “I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.” 4. Trance 📖 Acts 11:4-10 “Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the whole story: 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance,  I saw a vision. I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was….” 5. Audible Voice 📖 Luke 9:35 “While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.  A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” 6. Impressions (gift of discernment) 📖 Mark 2:8 AMP “Immediately Jesus, being fully aware [of their hostility] and knowing in His spirit that they were thinking this, said to them, “Why are you debating and arguing about these things in your hearts? 1 Cor 2:16 We have the mind of Christ.” 7. Preached Word 📖 Acts 2:14-41 - Peter’s sermon caused 3,000 people to give their lives to Christ. ✅ How many of these ways have you heard the voice of God?
