The Ladies and Gents of God Podcast

The loneliness that choosing God can bring. Leaving friends behind, and sometimes even family. It's scary and painful, but at the same time hopeful and liberating. Things that you used to do, you don't do any more. Your worldly, natural desires die slowly but surely. Your spiritual and Godly desires grow each and every day. That's why there comes a mismatch between you, your friends and sometimes even your family. But now what? One cannot live alone. Episode #47 His Love Unites

Too far to be forgiven? Too far to be saved? Too far to be restored? Too far to be transformed? Too far to have a new life? Have I gone too far? Has life taken me too far that I am doomed to live this life forever and ever? These thoughts can torture many and bring them to situations of deep despair. Is there a way out of this life that is a total mess? There is! Episode #46 His transforming love

Praying for your mental health. Praying for your emotional health. Praying that the pain will stop. Praying that the hurt will stop. Praying, praying, praying, but nothing seems to change. Pleading and doubting if God hears you or not. Does He even care? With just one word He can change it all, right?! So why doesn't He just say the word and deliver you from this misery? Why, why, why? But wait, maybe it's what, what what, what? What is going on?
Episode #45 His powerful love

Struggling. Fighting. Dealing with mental and emotional health problems. Doubting. Wondering. Fearing that I am not a good enough Christian. Is God punishing me? Did I buy a curse on my life? Did God leave me? The thoughts. The questions. The judgments that you might get as a Christian that is dealing with mental and emotional health problems. They bring shame. They bring you down. They suffocate you and your faith. Stop! Listen to this episode to be set free from these thoughts.

He loves me. He loves me not. Or she loves me. She loves me not. The thought of not being loved by the ones we love, is one that we almost can't bear. The feeling of being rejected, is one that we can't handle that well. The experience of being not worthy of love, is one that breaks our hearts and shatters our souls. To be loved by our loved one seems like all that matter. Without it, we feel like we will die. But what about God? Do we desire His love? Do we feel His love? Are we worthy of His love? Is His love enough for us? Can we even comprehend His love? 

Fear. Do you know all its colors? Alarm. Horror. Anxiety. Panic. Scare. Concern. Terror. Despair. Worry. Doubt. Uneasiness. Suspicion. Cowardice. Creeps. Distress. Fright. Trembling. Nightmare. Phobia.Cold feet. Cold sweat. Timidity. Thrill. And so much more. All take away your power and your sound mind. A stable, healthy mind. Capable to process information, to understand, to reason, to act rightly. Wouldn't fear be a good way to bring you down? Episode #42 In control of fear

Finally, grow powerful in union with the Lord, in union with His mighty strength! Use all the armor and weaponry that God provides, so that you will be able to stand against the deceptive tactics of the Adversary. For we are not struggling against human beings, but against the rulers, authorities and cosmic powers governing this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm. So take up every piece of war equipment God provides; so that when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist; and when the battle is won, you will still be standing. Therefore, stand! Have the belt of truth buckled around your waist, put on righteousness for a breastplate, and wear on your feet the readiness that comes from the Good News of shalom. Always carry the shield of trust, with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the Evil One. And take the helmet of deliverance; along with the sword given by the Spirit, that is, the Word of God; as you pray at all times, with all kinds of prayers and requests, in the Spirit, vigilantly and persistently, for all God’s people. (Ephesians 6:10-17) Episode #41 The Natural and Spiritual Realm

Where is God in all of this? Questions, doubts, disappointment, promises, faith and assurance all in one. Spiritual exhaustion. Not a bad Christian, but a tired and wounded warrior. How to recover while still in the battle? How to claim victory in spite of the feeling of defeat? Listen now!

"I believe that the ultimate end of life is to know God, the Holy One. I believe, in knowing God, there comes wisdom and there comes also the temporal blessings of life, but it has to be in the right order. We don't pursue the blessings, the temporal,  but we pursue the knowledge of the Holy One." Quote of Derek Prince. What do you pursue? Episode #39  "Hi, my name is Gladys, and this is my testimony".

Seasons come and seasons go. We enjoy one more than the other. We look forward to one more than the other. But the pleasant and the unpleasant seasons seem to be inseparable from the other. Why is that? Can't we just have the pleasant ones and do away with the rest? What's the sense in all of this? Listen to the episode to know the answers.
