29 | Counterfeit Systems | Part 25 | God’s Covenants Throughout History — And Why They Still Matter - Jacob and His Children - Part Four
How can a father’s word impact a family’s future? Can prophetic blessings and curses shape national destiny — and how does God respond? When God watches over His word, how does He work through flawed people? We close the chapter of Jacob’s life with Genesis 48–49: Jacob’s adoption of Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, his prophetic pronouncements over each of his 12 sons, and the mixed harvest of blessings and curses. Some tribal lines reflect God’s favor; others reveal the cost of sin and rebellion. We trace how these final words set the...

28 | Counterfeit Systems | Part 24 | God’s Covenants Throughout History — And Why They Still Matter - Jacob and His Children - Part Three
When trauma goes unhealed, victims can become perpetrators — why does that cycle repeat? Which sons honored the covenant — and which ones opened doors to curse? Can blessings spoken over a family be undone by reckless choices? In part 3 of this episode, we unpack key dynamics of the ancestors of the tribes of Israel: Reuben’s lost birthright, Simeon and Levi’s violent revenge, Judah’s drama and redemption, and Joseph’s vindication. Each act of rebellion, rage, or compromise had consequences — some immediate, some generational. We'll trace how unprocessed pain (rejection, jealousy, lust, bitterne...

27 | Counterfeit Systems | Part 23 | God’s Covenants Throughout History — And Why They Still Matter - Jacob and His Children - Part Two
Can God use the worst choices of our family to advance His best purposes? When betrayal feels final, can we trust that God is working behind the scenes? How does one man’s faithfulness in exile become a rescue plan for nations? We pick up the saga with Joseph: beloved son, dreamer, betrayed by brothers, sold into slavery, falsely accused, imprisoned, and finally exalted. Joseph’s life shows how God watches over His word: what was meant for evil, God used for good. We explore how family trau...

26 | Counterfeit Systems | Part 22 | God’s Covenants Throughout History — And Why They Still Matter - Jacob and His Children - Part One
What happens when God’s promise meets human weakness and family dysfunction? Have you ever inherited a blessing — but not the wisdom to steward it? If God’s covenant and blessing doesn’t change, why does our family story still look so messy? In this episode we continue Jacob’s story: how a man named for grabbing by the heel became the patriarch Israel. We walk through Jacob’s vow at Bethel, his years with Laban, the Leah/Rachel drama, the birth of his eleven sons, and the ways favoritism and deception bir...

25 | Counterfeit Systems | Part 21 | God’s Covenants Throughout History — And Why They Still Matter - Abraham to Jacob - Part Two
What happens when we try to help God fulfill His promises our own way? Could the generational patterns of deception and favoritism in Abraham’s lineage be a mirror for the cycles we see in our own lives? How does God’s faithfulness continue to prevail—even when His chosen people fail to consult Him? In Part 21 of the Counterfeit Systems series, we take a deep dive into Isaac and Rebekah’s story—revealing the continuation of God’s covenant of faithfulness amid human imperfection. Though Isaac inherited the blessing, he also inherited some of Abraham’s weaknesses. Th...

What if every covenant God made was not just historical—but a living promise still unfolding in your life today? Have you ever wondered how God continues to “watch over His word to perform it,” even when humanity keeps breaking our end of the bargain? Could Abraham’s test with Isaac reveal a prophetic shadow of God’s ultimate plan for redemption through Jesus? In Part 20 of the Counterfeit Systems series, we unpack how God’s covenants from Adam to Abraham are deeply interconnected and reveal His unrelenting faithfulness to redeem His creation...

23 | Counterfeit Systems | Part 19 | God’s Covenants Through History — And Why They Still Matter: Noah to Abraham - Part Two
Have you ever trusted God without knowing where you were going? How do you stay faithful when the promise seems delayed—or impossible? What if your biggest mistake was never meant to disqualify you, but to reveal God’s mercy? This second part of this episode dives deep into Abram’s journey after accepting God’s call. We examine how his obedience—though imperfect—set in motion blessings that reached far beyond his lifetime. Raquel unpacks Abram’s defining moments: the lie in Egypt, the separation from Lot, the covenant ceremony with God, and...

What if your “yes” to God could rewrite your entire family’s legacy? Could your words—like Noah’s—be shaping generations you’ll never meet? Have you ever considered that God might choose you to break through what’s culturally accepted to carry His promise forward? In this first part of this episode, we see The Power of One. We’ll explore how God preserved His Word through the lineage of Noah’s sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—and how those lineages shaped the nations of the world. Raquel unpacks the meaning behind each name...

Have you ever wondered what the story of Noah really reveals about God’s faithfulness to humanity? Could understanding the ancient covenants unlock the inheritance and authority God intended for you today? And if God never changes, what does His covenant with Noah tell us about how He still moves in the world now? In this episode, we trace God’s faithfulness through the first covenants made with humanity—from Adam to Noah—and uncover why these divine agreements still carry weight today. We revisit the Garden of Eden to u...

What if the enemy doesn’t just attack—but accuses—to gain legal access to your life? Could unhealed wounds, negative self-talk, or fear-based beliefs be empowering demonic agreements? How do we reclaim our authority and close the doors we unknowingly opened? Have you ever felt like no matter how much you pray, fast, or believe—something unseen keeps resisting your breakthrough? In the 2nd half of this episode in the Counterfeit Systems, we expose how the enemy uses accusation as his primary weapon to gain access through...

Have you ever felt like the enemy was on your back so heavy that you couldn’t catch a break? Have you ever wondered if God was just sitting back watching these attacks happening, while eating a bowl of popcorn? Did you know that the enemy gains access to our lives through agreements, even if we are ignorant to what they are? In this episode of Counterfeit Systems, we expose how the kingdom of darkness is structured as a counterfeit reflection of God’s divine order. Using Ephesians 6:12 and Daniel 10 as our framework, we u...

What does it mean that Elohim keeps His Word—even when humanity breaks covenant after covenant? How does understanding conditional vs. unconditional covenants change the way you view your relationship with God? Are your beliefs, habits, and agreements reflecting the Kingdom of God—or the counterfeits of culture, tradition, and religion? In this episode of The Life Budget Podcast, we continue the Counterfeit Systems series by digging into what it really means that agreements matter. Elohim made an agreement with Himself to create, with the angels to serve, and with...

What kind of agreements are you making every day—through your thoughts, actions, and even your inactions? Could it be that the way you live is either aligning you with God’s covenant or with a counterfeit system? What would change if you saw salvation not only as a gift but also as an invitation to steward God’s inheritance on earth? Every day, agreements are being made—whether we realize it or not. Our choices, habits, and even our silence shape the covenants we walk in. In this...

Do you know the difference between an unconditional covenant and a conditional covenant? Could understanding God’s view of time reshape how we interpret pain, waiting, and our human experience? In this episode, we explore the profound truth that God made agreements with Himself before the world began—agreements that secured creation, free will, and the plan of salvation. While His ways and His thoughts are far beyond our comprehension, we b...

Why did God create the world—and what does that reveal about who you are? What if your identity was written into Elohim’s strategic creation plan from the very beginning? How can looking at creation through the lens of strategy and purpose change the way you live today? In this episode, we pick up where Part 4 left off—exploring who God really is, who you really are, and why He created. Through a strategic planning lens, we’ll unpack how Elohim’s design wasn’t random but intentional, structured, and purposeful...

Have you noticed recurring “systems” in your life that look like truth but keep producing fruit of oppression?

As we’ve unpacked counterfeit systems in health, wealth, relationships, and religion—what shift is God inviting you into right now?

Have you ever heard a sermon, read a quote, or scrolled past a post that triggered fear instead of drawing you closer to God? This episode exposes the counterfeit system of fear-based religion. I share how a social media post about “probation ending suddenly” revealed just how deeply the gospel of fear has wounded so many believers — and how Jesus’ actual teaching points us back to love, intimacy with God, and Kingdom alignment. We’ll unpack: Why the plan of salvation must be received through love, not fear. The core things Jesus actually taught (spoiler: i...

It’s not enough to just know what a Kingdom filter is—you have to assess if yours is aligned with God’s truth. The fruit of your health, wealth, and relationships reveals the condition of your perspective. Reflection is not just a pause—it’s the pathway to transformation when done through God’s Word. In the second half of this two-part episode (and parts 7 & 8 of the Counterfeit Systems Series), we move from understanding the Kingdom filter to putting it into practice. It’s time to take an honest look at the fruit in your...

The enemy has been running counterfeit systems since the beginning, and without a Kingdom filter, you could be drinking from them without even realizing it. Not all filters are created equal—religious practices, cultural traditions, and even “good” habits can still leave your life contaminated if they’re not rooted in God’s truth and His Spirit. The fruit in your life reveals your filter. If you’re seeing more anxiety, confusion, or brokenness than peace, joy, and love—there’s a misalignment that needs attention.

Free will is so powerful that even a perfect being could choose imperfection. If your life is yielding confusion, captivity, or lack—it’s a sign of misalignment, not God’s design. God’s gifts are not delayed or rationed; they are already available—you just need to learn how to receive and sustain them. In this episode of the Counterfeit Systems Series, we explore why origins matter—why God created us with free will, why He allowed sin, and why His plan of salvation was always in motion. Free will makes authentic lo...

Have you ever left a church, walked away from religion—or even from God—because the pain of disappointment felt unbearable? What if the wholeness you long for isn’t about doing more to “earn God’s approval,” but about shifting your perspective of who He really is? Could the story of Joseph teach us how to move from trauma, betrayal, and waiting… into humility, forgiveness, and trusting God’s timing? In this episode of the Counterfeit Systems Series, I share a raw and honest conversation with a friend who admitted, “Raquel, I’m not sur...

And it’s not enough to know that God loves us — we need to understand the depth of why. In this episode of The Life Budget Podcast, I share how God healed me from anxiety and showed me His love in a way that changed everything. That miracle became the foundation for me to know Him, not just through religion, but as my Creator. Toge...
