#Philippians 4:22

[walkswithmyfather]

1. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” —Romans 12:2 (ESV)

2. “Strip yourselves of your former nature [put off and discard your old unrenewed self] which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion; And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude], And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God’s image, [Godlike] in true righteousness and holiness.” —Ephesians 4:22-24 (AMPC)

3. “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” —Philippians 4:8-9 (NIV)

“The way you renew your mind is to wrap your thoughts around Scripture. You can take control of what you think about. You deliberately plant the good seeds/thoughts of God in your mind. As these thoughts take root and grow, they will help remove the destructive weeds that the enemy tries to plant in your mind.” —Louie Giglio

Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌

The Surprising Story of Balaam's Talking Ass

The Story of how Balaam received a message from God is pretty unusual, and if you haven’t read it before, right now is a great time to do it. If you’ve read it, and it left you scratching your head a little, it’s certainly worth a deeper look. (And yeah, I know it opens the door to bad Ace Ventura jokes and that it’s PRIMARILY referred to most often by middle school boys who say, ” the word ‘Ass‘…

Trusting the Lord in Times of Suffering: An Expository Study of Alma 14

In our journey of faith, suffering can often feel insurmountable. It's in these moments that we must remember Christ's example and His ultimate sacrifice.

Alma the Younger and Amulek are led away from the fire that has consumed the believers in Ammonihah. Suffering is an inevitable part of the human experience, especially for believers striving to walk the path of righteousness. In Alma 14, we find a profound example of enduring faith amidst unimaginable trials. Alma and Amulek faced severe persecution and witnessed the martyrdom of the faithful,…

[hermajestyimher]

As someone who has battled anxiety and very dark thoughts in the past, God has shown me it is crucial to not try to get out of that mindset on my own strength. These are spiritual attacks, and I need to learn to lean on the Spirit to fight for me. I do this by using scripture that reminds me of the nature of God and his will for my life.

The enemy is a liar and he uses catastrophizing and overthinking to tell us lies about ourselves and the things to come. I refuse to give him an inch into my life by coming into agreement with his lies. Understanding the spiritual nature of our thoughts empowers you to not allow them to control you, but for you to have power over them.

1. John 10:10

“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”

2. Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

3. Psalm 55:22

“Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.”

4. Isaiah 41:10

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

5. Philippians 4:6-7

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

6. Romans 8:6

“So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.”

7. Matthew 11:28-30

“Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.’”

Becoming a Softer, More Gentle, and Appreciative Woman

Lately, I’ve felt a strong pull in my heart to grow into a softer, more gentle, and delicate woman—someone who radiates peace, grace, and genuine appreciation in every interaction. I want my words and actions to reflect the love of Jesus and create an atmosphere where people feel seen, valued, and loved.

I’ve realized that being soft doesn’t mean being weak. It means choosing humility over pride, patience over frustration, and kindness over anger, even in challenging situations. Being gentle means letting the Holy Spirit shape me into someone who carries the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

Why I Desire This Change

In a world that can feel harsh and hurried, I want to stand out as someone who embodies Christ’s heart. I want my husband to feel my love and appreciation through my words and actions. I want to inspire others by showing grace in difficult moments and creating peace in my home. Ultimately, I want to honor God by reflecting His gentleness and tenderness in my life.

How I Plan to Grow in These Qualities

1. Speaking with Kindness

I’ll work on pausing before I speak to ensure my words are uplifting and thoughtful. A habit I want to develop is asking myself, “Is this kind? Is it necessary? Does it build up?” before saying anything.

2. Slowing Down

Busyness can harden my heart, so I’ll intentionally slow down to savor life’s little moments. This means stepping away from distractions to fully listen when someone speaks or simply enjoying the beauty of nature.

3. Practicing Gratitude

I want to be genuinely appreciative of everything and everyone God has placed in my life. Writing daily in a gratitude journal will help me focus on His blessings and shift my heart toward thankfulness.

4. Serving with Joy

Whether it’s cooking a meal for my husband, helping at work, or lending a hand to a friend, I want to serve with a joyful heart. I’ll remind myself that every act of service is an opportunity to reflect God’s love.

5. Nurturing My Spirit

Spending daily time in prayer and Bible study will be key in softening my heart. Meditating on Scriptures about gentleness and humility (like Philippians 4:5 and Colossians 3:12) will guide me in becoming more Christlike.

6. Responding with Grace

When things don’t go as planned, I want to respond with grace instead of frustration. I’ll practice breathing deeply, praying for peace, and choosing to see situations from a loving perspective.

7. Embracing My Feminine Energy

I want to lean into being delicate and nurturing, embracing the beauty of femininity that God created me to have. This means creating a peaceful and inviting home, taking care of myself physically and emotionally, and being a source of comfort to those around me.

I know I’ll stumble along the way, but I’m excited to grow into the woman I feel God calling me to be. With His guidance, I’ll cultivate habits and a heart that radiate gentleness, love, and appreciation. Here’s to walking this journey with grace and faith, one day at a time.

Thank you for listening

God's Word Sown on the Soil of Fertile Hearts, Brings Forth Much Fruit

Jesus explains the parable of the sower and his seed:

Luke 8:11-18 "The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they shall believe and be saved. But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. But the ones that fell on good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience. No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him."

The Lord Is My Shepherd A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. — Psalm 23 | English Standard Version (ESV) The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

Play on other Podcast Apps During these times, reading the fine print can prevent a lot of things from occurring. If your phone is having issues, you go back to read the manual to see where something could have gone wrong. The same thing applies to the lives of believers.

The blinded mind

2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

The Cure

2 Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.3:16 (Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away).

The carnal mind

Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

The Cure

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

The corrupt mind

1 Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Ephesians 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

The Cure

Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

The double minded

James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

The Cure

James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

The wicked mind

Proverbs 15:26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

Isaiah 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: (their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity); wasting and destruction are in their paths.

The Cure

Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

[hrsquotes]

Such great words from Paster Tim Peterson of Christian Family Church in Minnesota, USA this photo is.

Whether you know this or not, God wants to bless us. He really does. Each & every one of us. His desire is not for us to have little or to be poor. He wants us to live in abundance of more than enough so that we can be generous & help others, in the name of Jesus.

Some verses about blessing: Deuteronomy 8:18 Deuteronomy 30:15-16 Psalm 34:8 Proverbs 10:22 Proverbs 16:20 Malachi 3:10 Ephesians 3:20 Philippians 4:19
