The Salty Christian: Living Eternal Blessings Now

In this segment of Karrie Anne’s testimony, she shares with us how the Lord was faithful, even in the face of all odds. Doubt comes in, but he understands that we need him every day. If you read in the scripture, you will see that Jesus Christ himself did miracles, healing’s, even raised a loved one from the dead, yet he still had to go through what he went through for us to have eternal life we never overcome our need for him.

Karrie Anne is one of my favorite people on earth. She’s my big sister. We have been through a lot together and always have a good time! It was a long road to walk through the hopelessness of alcoholism with many years of hard legalistic judgment towards her for her behavior. The Lord taught me to Love those in bondage and allowed me to support her through a time in her life she needed Christ most. This is her redemption story through crying out to God Almighty and how He saved her life.

You will find yourself being like the five people you hang around most. Does that stress you out? Are you sure that doesn’t apply to you? Check out what wisdom my high school senior house to share in this segment of the salty Christian.

Does our Creator have a plan for your life? How do you know if you are in step, or even in the same hemisphere as His intended path for your life? Let's explore this together.

My hope and sharing this is that you will recognize where you might be under attack spiritually, even by loved ones and those who have been faithful teachers in your life. Be aware of the enemies schemes and devices. The word of God is clear that we each bring different gifts and have different measures of faith. The hardest part of my faith walk right now is excepting the skepticism of other believers and allowing roots and trust to grow even throughout stages of my own personal growth.
Let’s be very cautious and mindful that we’re being respectful of one another especially in front of our children. I believe that the way that we talk about one another is a huge reason why the next generation doesn’t want anything to do with the church. The masks that we wear in front of one another and the verbal tear down when we depart is Hateful and ugly. Let’s be honest in our evaluation of ourselves and ask the Lord to remove our heart of stone and help us be true and faithful to love as if to cover a multitude of sins.

The church is very well known for the judge mental way of religion. How do we infiltrate that and change a culture among believers that is judgmental and cutting away of people as a fruit of that? Let’s begin to explore that together. My ideas are challenging and fruitful. We will rethink/repent together in order to see the power of the Holy Spirit come in and show us that abundant life Christ Jesus speaks about in the scripture.

Let’s consider testing our own fruit and that of those around us. Not to eliminate people but to be a change agent for the Kingdom.

Often times I live in the blame game. Not outright but secretly. It lingered as disappointments built my faith. Real struggles led me to a place of bitterness towards the Church and resentment towards the body of Christ that allowed me to show up but not have the life He alone must reveal. I pray this message will help condition your expectations as we build a culture of Christ seekers.

Spiritually speaking we have seen big victory in our courts because of the overturning of Roe v Wade ruling. In this episodes, I share thoughts on why the know it all, religious ones may be responsible for this ‘pro choice’ stance. You don’t want to hear this…it will probably tick you off.

Your role is to LOVE. If you have a loved one who is in a posture of having to prove something, begin assuring them of who they are. The frustration is the behavior; c'mon church. See the thing behind it by prayer and leading of the Lord and see the posture change. Read Ephesians.

In life, we want control so we plan and script everything and everyone. Let's break that habitual safety net of prediction by recognizing there is another Way, Truth and Life. We may come down off the throne and establish Jesus Christs' Kingship in our daily life over time. If we could all be so blessed to do so!

You need Jesus. I need Jesus. He needs Jesus. She needs Jesus. Amen.

In this podcast episode I share about not feeling like going to church or being around anyone or even learning anything. My feelings came in second place today! I dressed in my most cheerful outfit and hope that I could walk it out and allow my feelings to catch up. The Lord totally met me and showed me what that looks like as he informed me I put on a Garment of Praise as found in Isaiah 61 verse 3. He is so faithful and personal. I pray that you find him in this personal way as well. Open up your mind and heart to him through these words because he wants to meet you there.

I share an experience on this podcast episode about fear dictating my situation. A familiar feel builds trust but sometimes we can get so used to our emotional pace that we can be decieved by it.

My daughter said, "God's not here anymore, momma." I was deep in despair of living in such a mess. I tell how the Lord used my little to lift me out of it. He can do the same for you. The process of healing is little by little and we usually have more wisdom to gain as long as we are alive. He's a God of healing and a God of Glory to Glory! Whether you are just considering inviting Him in or been walking this 60+ years, there is more life for you in Him!

As a society, we seem to have confused justice with retribution. Responding to wrongs to punish is not THE WAY of Christ. While our actions do have natural consequences, "payback" is for Abba Father to measure. Retribution can ultimately bring more guilt, condemnation and, ultimately, death than seeking justice in a situation. Justice is seeking to restore the person to righteousness.

Try something new! Maybe invite friends over for dinner or go to a fancy restaurant or paint...? Stir up faith and joy for your life. It's a beautiful thing to take risks; risk is how we find limits and challenge them.
