Those are the prayers that I feel grow my faith more, because it take much more faith to follow God after praying and not receiving the desired answer than it does to pray and receive exactly what you ordered. 2023-11-1413 minSoul MedicationSoul MedicationWe all are waiting for something!Be patient – as you wait till the coming of the Lord, We are all talking about it. And truth is we have always been talking about it. We can wait, we can talk about it, but we need to live in a way that it is drawing others to Him.

What are you heaping together for treasure in these last days? Where is your love? Where is your treasure? Is your love with the money? Verse 5 tells us we have abandoned ourselves to soft living and pleasures and self-indulgence. Where is our treasure? We are looking at how the rich live their lives, but we know that God is a God of restoration, of love, of victory, and we know that He has a plan. 2023-11-1012 minSoul MedicationSoul MedicationWe know what is right, are we living it?Finishing up James chapter 4 today, we discuss the power that believers have with social media.

BUT GOD... gives us guidance, if we look for it in His Word. He gives us grace as we humble ourselves. He tells us to resist the devil and he will flee. How do we resist the devil? We draw near to God and God WILL draw near to us. This is probably the greatest promise next to the promise of salvation. Join us today as we talk about James 4: 7-10. 2023-11-0909 minSoul MedicationSoul MedicationGrace helps us get along with othersDo you struggle with being jealous for what others have? Do you feel content and happy in your life as you know it right now? Listen today and receive encouragement on how God's grace provides us the ability to fight those desires of our flesh that appear when we see others that have things in life that we want. The better job, bigger house, more expensive car, or the perfect husband (none of us are perfect!). God's grace is a continual flow, but we have to be in the right humble state to receive it. (James 4:1-6). 2023-11-0709 minSoul MedicationSoul MedicationEarthly Wisdom vs. Heavenly WisdomeWhat are the attributes of your wisdom?

Are you fulfilling the calling of a Christian coach? We read today about the higher standards and accountability that we, as teachers, are called too. What about your tongue? Just as a bridle turns a horse and a tiny rudder steers a powerful ship, your tongue is powerful and no man can tame it. But GOD... Come and spend 8 or so minutes as I share the first twelve verses of James 3 today! 2023-11-0308 minSoul MedicationSoul MedicationFaith and WorksWe can't deny that God's grace is gifted to us all, we only need to receive it. However, when we receive God's gift, by FAITH, we make Him Lord of our life, and therefore, we should begin to grow in obedience to His Word. It is FAITH that is our roots, and as we abide in Christ (the vine), we will spring forth with fruits that will point the world toward Him. 2023-11-0207 minSoul MedicationSoul MedicationMercy!Have you ever felt like certain sins bear certain punishments, like one sin is not as bad as another?

We should be always listening out, hearing what people and the situations and what God is saying to us. We need to be slow to speak and be careful of how we respond. You can improve the words that come out of your mouth by continuing to fill up your heart with the Word of God! 2023-10-2705 minSoul MedicationSoul MedicationPress in to Jesus!On today's episode of Soul Medication podcast we continue with James chapter 1, and are reminded of temptation, that God is not the one who tempts you.

I hope you listen and are encouraged! 2023-10-2605 minSoul MedicationSoul MedicationAre you pursuing something that will last?Your status in life does not matter in terms of your relationship with God. Is our focus on the things of life that will fade and pass away? When our lives are over, do we have an eternal relationship with God, or just a lifetime of working for something we could never really reach? 2023-10-2505 minSoul MedicationSoul MedicationNeeding Wisdom? Ask!Do you feel that you are sometimes stuck with a decision that you are not sure if you are doing the right thing? Did you pray for wisdom?
