Janet shares a word on what it means to be transformed into the image of Christ.   2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.   Have you ever wondered what an “unveiled face” meant in this scripture, or “beholding as in a mirror the glory of God”? Will you dive in with me and let’s learn how to be transformed into HIS image in this week’s podcast! The "unveiled face" refers to being open and receptive to the presence and revelation of God, and the "mirror" symbolizes the Word of God reflecting His glory to us. As we continue to seek and encounter God, we are progressively transformed to become more like Him. Transformed in Greek: metamorphóō (from 3326/metá, "change after being with” As I woke up this morning, I felt a WORD burning deep within my heart.  I felt the Holy Spirit draw me into prayer, devotion and study.  As I sat down I felt this drop into my spirit and I thought to myself,  WOW….“this sums up the Gospel of Jesus Christ!” Here it is: Hands that Care: to reach out  and touch life to bring hope results in miracles. Matthew 8:1-3, 14,15  New English Translation Cleansing a Leper by one touch Peter’s mother-in-law healed by one touch   Eyes that See: to see beyond what you can see in the natural to the supernatural results in wisdom Ephesians 1:17-19 The Message Your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do….   Ears that Hear: to hear the whisper of God, an ear that is tuned to his voice results in knowledge and direction Isaiah 30:21New King James Version Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,”   Heart that Obeys: to be willing to shift a heart to HIS heart  that results in prosperity, abundance, and plenty   Mouth that Speaks: declaring the goodness of God invites the power of God that results in faith and healing Matthew 8:8 …..just say the word and my servant will be healed!   Feet that walk out destiny: doing the “next” thing that He says results in fulfillment of the soul Isaiah 52:7-10 The Message 7-10 How beautiful on the mountains  are the feet of the messenger bringing good news,   I felt the Holy Spirit speak to me through these words and I thought to myself, “this sums up the Gospel of Jesus Christ!”

Julie shares her story of transformation of how the Lord healed her of cancer. She shares how looking beyond the physical report to believe and receive the report of the Lord changed her life. Have you ever been “stripped” before? Have you ever been through a storm that seemed to knock you off your feet?  Well, you are about to hear a powerful story from a lady who was stripped in so many ways, but when diagnosed with breast cancer, her world was turned upside down. “He stripped me of everything particularly financially so that I had to learn how to depend on the Lord for everything,” says Julie. You guys are going to be so inspired by this story of faith!!! Who’s report will you believe? Julie believed the report of the Lord in the darkest times of her life. In result of all that,  the Lord has anointed her and given her tremendous authority in the healing ministry, the Lord's Miracles Ministries along with gifts of healing and miracles. She is the director of Project Outreach. This group has been serving the  community of Naples for 15 years. Also, to specifically minister to cancer patients. Julie said, “Jehovah Rapha is a healer! I rely completely on Him for all health issues and everything in my life. I've seen Him do miracles in me and so many others. The name of my book is called The Report. It is available in English and Spanish and is available on Amazon. I have learned from the trials in my life to surrender all to the Lord and to trust Him completely. His word is truth / fact. And He will do what He says it's up to us to believe and have faith.” I am 70 years old. My advice to the youth is so simple. Come to Him like a little child. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding! I would be honored to pray over your listeners.

Janet does a study of Psalm 24 and prays a prayer of healing over her listeners.    You guys…the reason I am sharing this with you is because, the warfare is intense and it’s getting stronger.   The closer we get to the coming of Jesus, you will notice the warfare will get stronger.  But…Here’s the key…you don’t have to live in the warfare.  There has been a fight for your faith, your destiny,  your healing and your promises….and I believe this is the year to soar above the battle, the fight, instead of engaging with the enemy….LET’S ENGAGE WITH HEAVEN!! If you have a chance, open your bible and read with me in Psalm 24! As you are listening to this weeks podcast, take some quiet time to sit down and ready and answer these questions.  I want to hear from you! What and who dwell in the world? What does founded and established mean? Who will ascend  into the hill of the Lord? What is God’s name in this text? Who did He say could go up to the hill? Why can we go up to the hill now? What does 2 Cor. 5:17-21 say? What did the Bible say you would receive to those who go up? What does Hebrews 4:16 mean to you? I wrote a devotional book called a Throne Room View, talking bout seeing things from ABOVE in the Throne Room of Heaven and not just seeing, but LIVING your life from that place.  The Bible says in the book of Ephesians 4:2-9 that we have been seated with HIM, Christ Jesus in Heavenly Places. You and I have a seat with HIM, IN HIM, ON HIM all around HIM. What happens when we dwell in this place above: Gifts are given out Dreams are given Prophetic insights Healing is received Forgiveness flows like a river You become rich in mercy, grace and kindness You receive revelation Your thoughts change, your perspective changes Creative ideas and inventions You become aligned with God’s will for your life

Janet shares prophetic words from several different people and the things that God has shown her.   I want to share a word with you that I feel like God spoke over my life and I believe that it is for all of us who have been seeking His heart. “Hey my friend! I had a dream about you this weekend. I saw you at the very top of a beautiful white staircase! It was breathtaking! There was so much light around you and everything was super white, including the walls and staircase. I felt God's glory! Get ready!!! You're going up! More Glory Lord!” Not too long after that I saw a prophetic word by 𝒟𝓇. 𝒥𝑜𝐿𝓎𝓃𝓃𝑒 𝒲𝒽𝒾𝓉𝓉𝒶𝓀𝑒𝓇 “Expect a sudden victory.  A sudden turning of the tides.  Real breakthrough, even as your enemy is fully removed.  The devil may have brought the battle to your door, but King Jesus guards that door!  Because you belong to JESUS!  The victory coming will be sweet and complete!  Get ready to testify!” This spoke to me and immediately took me out of the warfare. My thoughts were more on what was happening here and it was causing my faith to be weakened.  But when I received that prophetic word….I said YES LORD…. The Bible says in  Colossians 3:1-3 That you and I have been raised up with Christ, and we are to keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.  We are to  set ours mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.  For  when we  have died to ourselves and realize that our life is hidden with Christ in God, we will see the glory of God revealed in our daily, earthly lives. On Dec. 20, 2023 this prophetic word was released by Lana Vawser based out of Australia.  To find this written word, go to FB and search for Lana Vawser and scroll down to Dec. 20. Stay alert and pay close attention to your dreams from the end of 2023 to the beginning of 2024.

Adriana and Janet have a real, raw conversation about what transition looks like and how it makes you feel.  Transition is not easy. Sometimes it will make you feel like you’re falling apart, or like giving up.  Adriana Belandria is my guest today and you’ve got to hear her story of transition from Venezuela…a whole other country…to USA… and how God helped her be a part of HIS perfect plan and sustained her in transition. Here are some things you can do to help you in transition: Recognize that you need to do something with your sadness. Speak to your soul. If your soul hurts, then speak life over it Don’t focus on the pain, but focus on purpose Surround yourself with people who will pray for you, people who love you Hope you enjoy today’s podcast! 

Happy New Year you guys!! This week for the new year, I wanted to share with you THE WAY OF JABEZ….MORE THAN THE PRAYER OF JABEZ 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in (with) pain.”Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, 'Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain! ' And God granted what he asked” This is not a “name it” and “claim it” prayer.  It’s not a formula to get God to answer your prayer.  It’s not a ritualistic prayer that can manipulate God to answer you. However, there is a blessing waiting for you when you understand the heart behind the prayer. Jabez’s name means: pain, sorrow, grief The mother of Jabez named him “pain” “grief” “sorrow” because of the pain of childbirth and what it brings. He didn’t want to live a life of pain and sorrow any more. He didn’t want to continue being in pain, but he also did not want to cause pain to anyone else. When He asked God to bless him, he was asking HIM to come close to him, for His presence, for His hand to be with him. He was asking God to give HIMSELF to him. And this is exactly what JESUS did for us! He gave HIMSELF to us!  He wasn’t asking God to take him out of his circumstances, or to even change his name. But he asked God to come close to him IN HIS CIRCUMSTANCES! He wasn’t looking for an escape and he knew he couldn’t go back and change the way his mother felt at the time she gave birth, but he did know GOD and he wanted GOD to be CLOSE to him…not just in a moment…but for life! Jabez longed for a change. His change started with a prayer. His prayer was sincere, and his heart was pure.  You life can be changed too by a sincere prayer!

Janet talks about the things that God has shown her throughout 2023 in the midst of transition, pain, chaos and the NEW THINGS God has been doing. Hey you guys! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! I can’t believe it’s already Christmas and we are staring in the face of 2024.  This year has flown by!  Today’s podcast is so important because I am sharing some very intimate things with you, so that you will be encouraged about how GOOD GOD IS! I picked up a few things on TikTok that a girl posted that impacted me and it bore witness in my spirit of what I have learned this year and throughout my walk with Jesus. Here they are: A man once said, “God is more concerned with your holiness than your happiness” yet I’ve never seen a holy man unhappy. There is nothing more joyful than living a holy life. A life of holiness is a life a purity, transparency, and  apocalyptic. The Lord is approachable but His holiness is distinct. Just before God sends the right one, the enemy sends the wrong thing Jesus wants heart transformation, not behavior modification Growing closer to God is not the result of “trying harder” but surrendering more. When you have a relationship with the ONE who is LOVE…..then you can love others the way He intended. Jesus is the perfect painter. When we try to take control of our lives/the paint, it gets messy. But when we surrender the brush to Him, the perfect picture is created We read the Bible, but the Bible reads us, our hearts You have as much of God in your life as you long for right now. God is only pleased with Jesus, not you. By faith, you stand before God as Christ because Christ stood as you before God. When you criticize yourself, you criticize the Creator. The living don’t date the dead. We serve a God that can restore the years the enemy  (Joel 2:25)

Tom was at the end of his rope, ready to take his life, then the Holy Spirit showed up in a powerful way.

Tom was down on his knees on a Wednesday night after church with a gun held to his temple, in complete despair and hopelessness. His finger slipped off the trigger while he was trying to pull it, and all of a sudden he broke, he cried out to God, “God if you don’t do something in the next 60 seconds I am going to pull the trigger and come be with you.” Needless to say, Tom was at the end of his rope. It was the end of his marriage as he had known it, but at the beginning of a new season!  Tom said being a pastor you’re not allowed to divorce, even though it was not his fault, so how could he go on? Do you want to know what to do when you are at the end of your rope?  Maybe you’re at the end of your marriage, or the end of your  God given dream, or you feel  there is no hope for your future or maybe …….it’s for a  specific promise God made to you!  Whatever it may be, God has something for you in this podcast!  You have landed on the right page today.
