Hi, everyone! It's Tania, and welcome to the Moms for Christ podcast. A Word that God has been speaking to me comes from the book of John, chapter 16, verse 33, and it says: “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.”
"Christ in them will allow them to overcome the world!" And this Word is so exciting. It's so encouraging because Jesus is such a good Father; He has such a loving heart that He is preparing His disciples for a time when He will no longer physically be with them, but Christ in them will allow them to overcome the world! He's telling them, you know, “In this world, you are going to have trouble. In this world, you are going to face hardships. In this world, things are going to get difficult; but I have overcome the world. I have overcome every obstacle. I have overcome every sin. I have overcome everything that would stop you from getting to know the Father and coming close to Him.”

He shows us those things so that we can see the things that are keeping us from the Father, and come closer to the Father.
"We know that God is the Great Physician" It's funny, I think of children, especially babies, and how they don't like medicine. It's almost a fight with this little, tiny baby to get them to take medicine. We know that God is the Great Physician and when we take Him in every day, through His Word and spending time with Him— when He is enough— He shows us things that keep us away from the Father. If we take Him in every day, Him speaking and His Spirit is meant to bring life into us because it's only through the Holy Spirit that we truly come to life, that we truly understand life, that we truly begin to live.
"They were meant to walk in the Holy Spirit, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead them and to guide them" I want my children to know while they're young that they need that medicine, that every single day they need to take the Holy Spirit in be...
