Sharon and Jana have a conversation with friends, Yvonne and Jonathan about what is going on right now in God’s Kingdom. Listen as we talk about the spiritual and supernatural realm and all the God has for us this coming season.
We feel pretty terrible. We just discovered that all of our comments were being put in a spam folder. So, for the past two years we missed hearing from you!
We are sooooooooo sorry! We didn’t know that we needed to check the spam folder. We feel like numbskulls.
Please, please, please comment on everything we do!
We feel awful and always wondered why no one comments on our stuff. Duh. But, now that we know, we will fix the issue.
Thank you for bearing with us this whole time and if you are new to our blog, welcome!
Regrettably,
Sharon & Jana
Luke 6:19 ESV – 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
John 5:1-9 NASB – 1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep [gate] a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porticoes. 3 In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, [waiting for the moving of the waters; 4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.] 5 A man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying [there,] and knew that he had already been a long time [in that condition,] He said to him, “Do you wish to get well?” 7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.” 9 Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and [began] to walk. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
Isaiah 54:17 ESV – 17 no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, declares the LORD.”
Jana and Sharon talk about what it means to trust God, ourselves and others from a Biblical perspective. Trust can be a challenge and we must be willing to risk it for our relationships.
God is faithful to us even when we are not being faithful to Him. He is constantly working to keep us safe, to guide our ways, and to nurture love in our lives. He is our Champion in every way. He supports and promotes us minute by minute. And He teaches us to be like Him. He carries the majority of our relationship with Him in His fullness and power. We need only lean into Him and He responds immediately.
We can trust Him.
The easiest way to understand, know and believe the trust God has for us and how we can trust Him is to read the Bible. The Word of God is a critical tool and manual for living. And of course, it will build our faith overall. As we understand trust more, we are capable of greater things.
The Word says to take care of the little things in life to be trusted for more in Luke 19:17, TPT which reads, “Splendid! You have done well, my excellent servant. Because you have shown that you can be trusted in this small matter, I now grant you authority to rule over ten fortress cities.” Trust then needs to be developed and increased as we work to mature in Christ Jesus. The best part is that He will show us how.
He is wise and gives wise guidance as we trust in Him, not in our own understanding. Proverbs 3:5–6, TPT says, “Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go.” We are limited in this human form and need His help and support on a daily basis. We need intimate relationship with Him.
Excerpt from my current book: Hardwired to Trust God: And Exploring Trust for Ourselves & Others.
Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.
Colossians 3:2
In a word, Glory fosters wonder. Wonder is a feeling of surprise and admiration caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable. Wonder is a curious desire to know something amazing — it’s something to marvel at.
God’s Glory is unmatched in life-changing brilliance and wonder. Its magnificence is unparalleled. Its beauty blinding. Its majesty unknown. God’s Glory goes farther and faster, reaches deeper and wider than anything we can imagine. Its wholeness is cosmic. Its love is unmistakable. And its peace is delicious.
Why? Because the Glory is comprised of God Himself. It carries His character and attributes. Imagine that. Glory is God’s all-consuming presence and essence. Glory is the anointing that inhabits God’s people. Glory causes us to be showered in the Spirit where we can heal miraculously in body, soul and spirit. Glory walks with God’s people changing lives every moment of every day.

So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always.
