Episode 6: Season 2 - The assault on womanity. Part 1

Are you in … or out?

In this episode, I briefly discuss the rejection of God by His people at Sinai and the truth that He has ALWAYS invited us all to intimacy with Him. This is a noisy episode recorded while walking outside, and I did that on purpose to illustrate the way our relationship with God happens in the midst of everything else. So, it is noisy and the volume fluctuates (in a manner similar to the way we do not always hear God clearly as we go about our daily lives). That doesn’t change the fact that He is always here for us and near us. So, will you accept His invitation to intimacy? Are you in or out? Photo by Stefan Moertl for Unsplash

Episode 1 - 2023: Time to draw near to YHWH

This first episode of 2023 shines a light on the importance of Oneness with YHWH and on the fact that it is the most important pursuit we can focus on, if we are interested in becoming who we are in Christ.

Épisode 4 - 2022 : (Comment) pouvons-nous savoir ce qui est écrit sur notre parchemin ?

Dans cet épisode, les questions suivantes sont abordées à la lumière de la Bible : Quelle(s) voix écoutons-nous ? Pourquoi trouvons-nous tellement plus facile de croire le mal que le bien, les mensonges que la vérité ? Pourquoi cédons-nous si facilement notre héritage contre un « bol de lentilles » (remplacez par votre équivalent culturel le plus approprié) ? Recherchons-nous notre héritage, notre destinée, ce pour quoi nous avons été créé.e.s, ce que Dieu a mis en nous et qui peut changer le monde ? Savons-nous seulement ce qu'est notre héritage, notre destinée ? Si non, pourquoi pas (surtout pour ces deux dernières questions) ? Il est impossible pour nous d'essayer de comprendre quel est notre rôle, notre place, notre héritage (spirituel), notre appel, nos responsabilités, nos domaines d'autorité et plus encore, si nous n'entendons pas Dieu. Écoutez cet épisode pour en savoir plus.

Episode 4 - 2022: (How) can we know what's on our scroll?

In this episode, the following questions are tackled with insight from the Bible: Whose voice(s) are we listening to? Why do we find it so much easier to believe the bad than the good, the lies than the truth? Why do we so easily trade our inheritance for a “bowl of lentils” (replace with your most appropriate cultural equivalent)? Are we pursuing our inheritance, our destiny, what we were made for, what God has put in us that can change the world? Do we even know what our birthright, our destiny is? If not why not (for those last two questions especially)? Trying to figure out what our role, place, (spiritual) birthrights, calling, mantles, areas of authority and more is impossible if we are not hearing from God. Tune in for more.

This episode is dedicated to celebrating WOMEN and reminding us of God’s favour towards us throughout the history of His recorded relationship with humanity.

Épisode 1 – 2022 : Ne reste pas silencieuse, Maison du Seigneur ... il y a de quoi parler.

Il y a de quoi parler... il y a une cause à défendre... notre monde a besoin de (re)venir à la vie, de se réaligner avec les plans et les projets de YHWH... et la vie et la mort sont au pouvoir de la langue (dit la Bible).

Mais peut-être avez-vous parlé et parlé (entre deux périodes de découragement)... peut-être vous demandez-vous parfois si cela fait une différence...

Considérez ce premier épisode de 2022 comme un encouragement de ma part à pratiquer de bonnes œuvres ! 😏

Rappelez-vous qui est Dieu, recevez une nouvelle révélation de qui vous êtes, purifiez la source de vos paroles (alias votre bouche) et bien sûr votre cœur.

Voyez ce que le Seigneur fera !

[Références : 1 Samuel 17:28-30 ; Habacuc 2 surtout les versets 14-15 ; Matthieu 6:33 ; Daniel 12:4)

Episode 1 – 2022: Don't remain silent, House of God ... there is a cause.

There is a cause... we have reason to speak... our world needs to come to life, to realign with YHWH's plans and purposes... and life and death are in the power of the tongue (says the Bible).
But maybe you have spoken and spoken (between moments of discouragement)... maybe you sometimes wonder if it makes a difference...
Think of this first episode of 2022 as a prompt to good works from yours truly! 😏
Remember who God is, get a fresh revelation of who you are, cleanse the source of your speech (a.k.a. your mouth) and of course your heart.
See what the Lord will do!
[References: 1 Samuel 17:28-30; Habakkuk 2 especially 14-15; Matthew 6:33; Daniel 12:4)

Episode 5 - 2021: What is the relationship between God, Time, the Solstice, and thresholds?

Looking at Joshua 10 and an excellent publication by Anne Hamilton (available at https://www.facebook.com/anne.hamilton.7355/posts/4008318592549384) about time and thresholds, this episode draws a link between God, Time, the Summer Solstice and thresholds … for our edification.

Episode 2 - 2021 : aimons les personnes difficiles - de la démolition à la reconstruction

Nous connaissons toutes/tous des personnes qui passent leur temps à critiquer tout ce qu’elles voient, ce qu’elles entendent ou ce qu’elles vivent… Se pourrait-il que ces personnes qui ont la critique facile soient en fait des personnes qui ont une aptitude à construire, qui attendent simplement d’être encouragées, invitées à élever leur perspective ? Qui a le courage qu’il faut pour les aider à sortir d’elles-même une solution et non pas seulement une critique ? Et si on enrichissait notre perspective avec quelques exemples de la Bible ?

Episode 2 - 2021: Gotta love the difficult people - From tearing down to building up..

We all know people who always always criticising everything as soon as they see, hear or experience something... Could these terrible critics be builders waiting to be encouraged/invited upward? Who is tough & tenacious enough to help them pull out of them a solution instead of just criticism? Let’s gain some perspective from some examples in the Bible. Photo by Osnan Ali for Unsplash

Season 3: Selah Series - Reset episode: The new is here

It’s been roughly 100 years since humanity experienced anything similar in magnitude and gravity to what the world is faced with at this time, the difference being that we have far more technological and medical means to face it. It is not surprising that the Lord would use this time to bring things to a pause and reset us in order to launch us into the new that He’s been planning since the beginning of time. Let’s start this journey of faith together. Photo by Toa Heftiba for Unsplash

Saison 3 : Selah Series - Remise à zéro : toutes choses sont devenues nouvelles

Il y a environ 100 ans que l'humanité n'a pas connu une expérience similaire à celle à laquelle le monde est confronté actuellement, en termes d'ampleur et de gravité, la différence étant que nous disposons de moyens technologiques et médicaux bien plus importants pour y faire face. Il n'est pas surprenant que le Seigneur utilise ce temps pour faire une pause et nous remettre à zéro afin de nous lancer dans la saison nouvelle qu'Il a planifiée depuis le début des temps. Commençons ce voyage par la foi ensemble. Photo par Davies Designs pour Unsplash

Episode 20: Season 2 - Is Christmas really Christian?

In this episode we discuss the origins of Christmas, the fact that it is most certainly not the actual date of Christ’s birth, and the attitude we believe we should have towards this festival.

Episode 19: Season 2 - No one can see God and live

The Bible says no one can see God and live. The only exception given in the Bible is Moses who saw God face to face. What did this statement foreshadow? How does it apply to us (post incarnation, death, resurrection and ascension of Christ)? Tune in to listen. Photo by Evi Radauscher for Unsplash

Nov 18, 201918:03

Episode 18: Season 2 - "Sit here while I go and pray there."

In this episode we look at Jesus' words to His disciples in the garden of Gethsemane, when He asked them to sit and wait at the entrance of the olive yard, while He went to pray, just before His arrest, judgement, torture and crucifixion.

The discussion looks at the passage (Matthew 26: 36 - 46), and the potential reasons why Jesus said that to His disciples, and what we can learn from that.
