Mighty woman of faith and prayer warrior, Sister Eliana Toney, joins us to teach on hearing the voice of God. Eliana Toney, a/k/a The Prayer Princess, is host to her own YouTube channel "The Prayer Princess", where you can find her teaching on the Word of God and praying together nightly with a faithful community of brothers and sisters in Christ. Today she addresses the truths and common myths surrounding hearing the voice of God. Addressing the myth that God has stopped speaking after the original apostles died. Jesus taught his disciples, and us, to pray (conversation with God) and led by example. Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit to intercede for us. The first thing God did was to tell Adam and Eve their purpose. God still speaks even in His anger to sup with God - Blue Letter Bible Scripture References: John 14-16 John 16:3 (NRSV) - "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come." Mark 16:17 (NRSV) - "And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues." Genesis 4 - Story of Cain and Abel Revelations 3:20 (NRSV) - "Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me." Hebrews 11:6 (NRSV) - "And without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would approach him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him."

Today, we speak to my dear friend Danielle McCoy, who shares her harrowing journey through encephalitis, a potentially fatal brain disease. This episode is dedicated to survivors and victims of encephalitis in honor of World Encephalitis day, February 22nd. Danielle and I first met through the Tracy Anderson Method community, after I posted on the Community page about publishing my first novel. We cultivated a friendship soon after and once Danielle shared her story, I knew that God was calling her to share it with others as encouragement and a reminder of God's amazing Love and Sovereignty.  Danielle and her husband Elton enjoy life together in California where she continues to make great strides in healing and victory over encephalitis.
