S5 EP84: Akia Campbell - God's Kindness Inspired Me to Shift

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2024/7/9/21/6bffb70b-4180-4af7-960b-23bb13009ca0_ctlf_s5_ep_83_-_7_9_24__5.29_pm.mp3

Here are three thoughts from today:- A daily practice of self-reflection will lead your heart to explore how you express goodness and generosity to others in your communities. Kindness is about that goodness, that love expressed. We experience God’s goodness, He wants us to pay it forward. - There is a difference between being kind and being nice. Also, kindness that places an expected response from the receiver is not a genuine Fruit of the Spirit. And we must be cautious of our heart’s posture when we are offering to do things for people. - Being kind in friendship is a cherished act of love and we need more of this. Friends that can lay aside their agendas and be there with you and for you. To have a friend like this you need to be a friend like this. The goal is to look to Jesus to teach you how to be that friend and you just be. No expectations, just transformation. Here are some coaching questions to ponder on about your kindness:<ol><li>Who has been kind to me lately? How did their kindness make my heart feel?</li><li>Who is God drawing my heart to show kindness to? </li><li>How can I be more attentive to the Holy Spirit’s promptings to show kindness to people I do not know? How do I show such kindness?</li></ol> Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite: www.chiefjoyactivator.com Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite| www.godlywomanandcompany.org

Here are three thoughts from this episode:<ol><li>Patience is a virtue, and most importantly, it is a characteristic of the Fruit of the Spirit. You have the Spirit of God in you; therefore, you are a new creation, your old ways have passed away. You have every spiritual capacity to develop a heart of patience. </li><li>Developing or cultivating a heart of patience requires time. Become more cognizant of your behaviors and habits as well as your surroundings. Self-reflection is great practice to engage in often. You can do this through journaling and audio essays where you verbally record your day and the Fruit of the Spirit you felt challenged by. </li><li>Bearing the fruit of patience is a daily practice of allowing the Lord to lead and guide you. Remember, if you disregard the Lord’s guidance, you are disobeying Him and that in itself is a sin. His command is that you wait on Him and wait for Him. Do just that in prayer and with joy and watch what happens in time. </li></ol> Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite: <a href="http://www.chiefjoyactivator.com" rel="nofollow">www.chiefjoyactivator.com</a>  Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite| <a href="http://www.godlywomanandcompany.org" rel="nofollow">www.godlywomanandcompany.org</a>

S5 EP80: Guest Shade' Her Place of Inner Peace

Thoughts from this teaching on peace:<ul><li>Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God. If you call yourself a “Child of God”, being a peacemaker is your mandate. It is in your spiritual DNA and must be part of everything you say and do. The Holy Spirit guides you and teaches you so you are not peacemaking in your own volition and strength, rather you obey what the Spirit tells you to do and how to do it. Peacemakers obey the will of God.</li><li> </li><li>Peacemakers are confident, courageous, vulnerable, honest, humble. They embrace grace and truth. They value people and do not resolve conflict out of fear. Peacemakers approach problems with love, they are congruent with self and others, have a gentle and kind hearted approach. Peacemakers are proactive and intentional with cultivation of relationships, they listen more and speak less and they operate from a place of humility.</li><li> </li><li>Peacekeepers avoid conflict, speak more and listen less, they please people and neglect self. Peacekeepers yearn for a life of peace but avoid difficult conversations, they hold things in their hearts, they are reactive and passive. They operate from a place of fear and defensiveness.</li><li> </li><li>You already have peace. It is free! It is a fruit of the Spirit and you get to cultivate it daily; however, you cannot cultivate this on your own. You need to remain connected to the Vine so that you hear and obey what God’s will is for your situation. Obedience to the will of God is the secret to inward peace in your situation. So, the path to inward peace does not cost or bring financial burden, it brings peace to the mind and heart.</li><li> </li><li>To know the difference between Holy Spirit peace and fake peace, look to your heart and how you portray other virtues: humility, patience, faith, trust, hope, gentleness (that part). Your peace can be disrupted and that is part of the realities of life. This is why you need your roots firmly planted in the One you believe in - Jesus. Allow His word to permeate your heart instead of the world’s ways, accept his teachings and abide in his presence even when you do not understand ‘why’ life is the way it is. He will always teach and show you exactly what you need when you need it.</li></ul> Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite:<a href="http://www.chiefjoyactivator.com/" rel="nofollow"> www.chiefjoyactivator.com</a> Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite|<a href="http://www.godlywomanandcompany.org/" rel="nofollow"> www.godlywomanandcompany.org</a>

For truths in this episode, “Joy Is…”:<ul><li>Joy is hope in the dark</li><li>Joy is gladness of heart</li><li>Joy is being assured</li><li>Joy is agreement</li><li>Joy is understanding</li><li>Joy is acceptance</li><li>Joy is contentment in and with the past, present, now, and future happenings</li><li>Joy is knowing that you are safe, secure, accepted</li><li>Joy is acknowledgment of you unwavering reliance</li><li>Joy is a deep admiration and reverence for God</li><li>Joy is belief in the greater</li><li>Joy is the emotion you choose when hope comes</li><li>Joy is best produced in the midst of discipline and suffering</li><li>Joy is Jesus</li></ul> When hope dims, joy dims as well so beware of your killjoys and embrace your joy activators. Killjoys can be anything or anyone purposefully trying to snuff out the God in you - do not let it, do not let them. If you are in the depth of depression, there is no hope, reach out and begin a journey of restoring your hope and joy. So, get rid of your killjoys - your idols. Your joy burst is a repentant heart obediently walking in step with Jesus; as you heal, you sprinkle your joy dust onto others around you.  Listen to Episode 55: Joy Unlimited -Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite: <a href="http://www.chiefjoyactivator.com" rel="nofollow">www.chiefjoyactivator.com</a>  Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite| <a href="http://www.godlywomanandcompany.org" rel="nofollow">www.godlywomanandcompany.org</a>

S5 EP76: Renea Lomotey - From Unlearning to Relearning Love

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2024/3/19/22/7eb1967d-5c34-48b9-816f-432a8ba55b2c_ctlf_s5_ep_75_-_3_19_24__6.10_pm.mp3

<ul><li>Love is defined as walking in obedience to God’s commands. Love is defined as God - God is love. God’s design for love in humanity is that we love Him first so that we can learn from Him how to love ourselves and others. If we do not learn to open our hearts to God and desire His love, moving from a mechanical, transactional relationship to a more intimate, transformational relationship, we will not be fully open to ourselves and to others. We will miss God every time. The type of love we get from the Spirit is agape love, every other kind we express or think we express is counterfeit - Philia, Eros, Ludic etc</li></ul> <ul><li>The truth about love is that, loving others the way Christ wants us to is risky and can be messy. That is why it is risky and messy love. We cannot choose and do it in our own natural humanness. We need the Holy Spirit’s guidance and we must obey Him. If we see Jesus as our Lord and we obey Him, we can forgive, and we can forget, and we can extend grace onto others. Now that is the right ego - you caught that? If your EGO is of the Spirit, you Extend Grace Onto others.</li></ul> <ul><li>Cultivating love is getting back to the attributes of love and allowing God to show you areas of your life where you need change. 1 Corinthians 13 can be your love test. Test yourself by simply asking - am I kind? Am I patient? If you are brave, ask people around you. Don’t be defensive, a true disciple who wants to grow will welcome the feedback and ask God to show her or him the path towards change.</li></ul> Do you want to follow along with me this season?Sign up for our Newsletter at www.chiefjoyactivator.com or www.godlywomanandcompany.org and you will receive the link to complete your Healing Heart Habits Reflections for each podcast episode.

S5 EP75: Cultivate Divine Love - Fruit of Love

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2024/3/19/21/2371665a-b192-4442-9582-3c12065c2aba_ctlf_s5_ep_74a_-_3_19_24__5.37_pm.mp3

<ul><li>The Fruit of the Spirit is interconnected to all the Graces of the christian faith as we see in 2 Peter 1:5-7. This interconnectedness is how we can tell a real fruit of the Spirit from a fake fruit of the Spirit. The fake one often comes from our natural personality traits. A disciple of Jesus, whose heart has been nurtured by the Holy Spirit, does not rely only on their personality but also looks deep into the heart to hear what the Spirit desires.</li></ul> <ul><li>Learn the Word of God and allow your heart to be taught. Teaching requires an active engaged mind willing to take in information and practice what is taught. This way, in moments when you need to show grace, the characteristics of love and kindness can be shown.</li></ul> <ul><li>Do all you can to remain attached to the vine. The enemy is cunning and he comes to steal, kill, and destroy. To weather the storms of life and overcome the mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational hurdles, we must walk with Jesus daily. Not just reading the word, but committing it to memory and repeating what we have read so often throughout the day that it becomes a part of you. If you have to sit with a verse for a whole week, do that… I do this dear sister! </li></ul> Do you want to follow along with me this season?Sign up for our Newsletter at www.chiefjoyactivator.com or www.godlywomanandcompany.org and you will receive the link to complete your Healing Heart Habits Reflections for each podcast episode.

In this Part 1 of the Introduction to the Season 5 series, I teach about &#34;Who is the Fruit of the Spirit&#34;.<ul><li>The Fruit of the Spirit comes from the Holy Spirit who advocates for us daily. Any mental, emotional, relational struggle we are experiencing in life must be brought into the Holy Spirit’s presence; invite Him to teach you because that’s what Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit will bring to our remembrance all that we have learned from Him.</li></ul> <ul><li>Which takes me to thought number two, you must learn the Word of God and allow your heart to be taught. Teaching requires an active engaged mind willing to take in information and practice what is taught. This way, in moments when you need to show grace, the characteristics of love and kindness can be shown.</li></ul> <ul><li>Thought number three is you must do all you can to remain attached to the vine. The enemy is cunning and he comes to steal, kill, and destroy. To weather the storms of life and overcome the mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational hurdles, we must walk with Jesus daily. Not just reading the word, but committing it to memory and repeating what we have read so often throughout the day that it becomes a part of you. If you have to sit with a verse for a whole week, do that… I do this dear sister! </li></ul> Do you want to follow along with me this season?Sign up for our Newsletter at www.chiefjoyactivator.com or www.godlywomanandcompany.org and you will receive the link to complete your Healing Heart Habits Reflections for each podcast episode.

Yessss! We are back for season 5! This is the season of &#39;remaining&#39; when everyone is busy searching. In this bonus episode, I open season 5, share ministry updates and some personal updates too.When I took these past few months to rest and receive perspective through prayer and solitude, I realized that my primary aim is to enjoy Jesus and glorify Him forever. How I glorify the Lord is cultivating the gift seed He has planted in my heart. I need to take each seed and nurture it, cultivate it and make sure I steward my giftings well. From writing, to leading, to healing, to faith, I must use these gifts well and multiply them for His Kingdom. I am so happy to be back doing exactly what rests well in my heart. We kickoff season five exploring life in the Spirit - specifically the Fruit of the Spirit. I will teach on the fruit and also invite guests to explore the various characteristics of the fruit with me.Excited for what&#39;s coming up so much that I am doing a podcast dump! Enjoy!

Shaunte Prevot is a mom of five beautiful children, a wife of twelve years and a daughter of God. She loves date nights and family nights are a treasure in her heart. I sat down with my good friend to explore aspects of her life and the journey of womanhood. She is a new Author and you can find more about her children’s book “Goodbye Fear, God is With Me” on Amazon. Shaunte is passionate about racial reconciliation.She believes that Racial Reconciliation starts with US. Loving each other and what makes us different. We’re purposefully made up of an array of colors as Christ intended, all stemming from dirt. God saw everything he made and said it was very good. ALL of us are made in the image of Christ (Genesis 1:26-27). As I challenge myself I also challenge you to speak up and stand out for racial reconciliation in our land. May you be bold and courageous as you speak up and stand with Jesus! Let’s get back to the beginning together.Here are a few nuggets from our conversation:<ul><li>Be intentional with your words and in seeing your loved ones</li><li>See difficult seasons in parenthood as seasons</li><li>When you begin to see Jesus for yourself, your relationships change</li><li>Your relationship with God is a growing journey</li><li>Pursue God with your heart, seek His face, spend time with Him</li><li>You notice a shift in your struggles the more you surrender to Jesus</li><li>Be prepared to let go of ungodly friendships so as to create space for godly relationships</li><li>Humility is a powerful trait of a godly woman</li><li>God sees and knows more about your seasons than you do - trust Him</li><li>To train godly children, you must allow yourself to be trained by the Holy Spirit</li><li>Train up: this is an intentional purpose assigned to you by the Lord</li><li>Think generational blessings as you partner with the Holy Spirit to break generational curses</li></ul> Connect with Guest:Shaunte PrevotIG| shaunteprevot Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite: <a href="http://www.chiefjoyactivator.com" rel="nofollow">www.chiefjoyactivator.com</a>  Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite| <a href="http://www.godlywomanandcompany.org" rel="nofollow">www.godlywomanandcompany.org</a>

The kingdom of God can often be seen as an upside down Kingdom. We see in Hebrews that agreement with God leads to understanding, not understanding God leads to agreement. Because of their faith -- Abel was commended as righteous. Agreement establishes our righteousness with God. You are in alignment. You are in obedience and poised to put that faith into action. - Enoch gained eternal life for agreeing with God. You have peace about your life and where you are going. You simply believe, you accept God as He is from His Word. - Noah moved in fear toward God’s will not away from God. He gained righteousness and power. You may be afraid or in fear of your healing journey, your transition, your life change, your heart transformation. Move anyway, move in fear toward God. Listenand learn the complete list of these faithful leaders of God.

Continuing on the Heart Transformation series, we are learning about the human will and God’s will. This episode was a learning moment for me and I hope as you listen you take some time to journal all the coaching questions I ask. The human will is the most powerful force on earth and without our permission, the Holy Spirit remains untapped.Three thoughts for today:<ul><li>The human will is the most powerful force on earth. The human will is tucked within the mind which is tucked within the soul which is a part of the heart. The human will is the ultimate faculty that actively causes us to do. The human will can be misguided by life experiences, traumas and unpleasant happenings. The human will denies us of the pleasures of walking in holiness because of selfish desires and sin nature. The human will causes us to break our promises and covenants where our will to do is easily affected by our desires for self.</li></ul> <ul><li>To align the human will with the will of God, everything must be set in our hearts - the desire, the motive, the will. Our minds must be renewed on God’s Word constantly enough for our hearts to desire only God’s Truth. If our will is conflicted between the world and God, we will not be able to fully experience obedience in Christ. Our hearts must delight only in the Lord, and verbally confess our desire to obey Him only. The more we confess our sins and profess our desires, our minds renew and that seeps into our hearts. We must allow God’s timing to always be more profound in our waiting than our own timeline. If you are waiting, He knows you need it.</li></ul> <ul><li>Changing a habit does not start with changing a behavior. Changing a habit starts with knowing why you want to change the habit. Knowing your motives and motivations is very important. This first step must be driven deeply into your mind and heart canals to the point of desiring the why. When your heart is settled on the why, you are in agreement with what God is telling you to do, change. Your will to do will shift things as priorities and you will easily begin to accomplish God’s will. The key is to believe with your heart and agree with God.</li></ul> Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite: www.chiefjoyactivator.com Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite| www.godlywomanandcompany.org
