How do you WIN in the wilderness? The Israelites were led by God into the wilderness, not the enemy. In your life, when a season of walking through the wilderness comes, what is your perspective? Are you complaining? Are you looking back at the Egypt God pulled you out of and wishing to go back? Or are you looking for God in a new way? God brought the nation of Israel out into the wilderness, and He did not abandon them. In fact, He revealed Himself to them in a new, deeper way, and assured...

The story of David and Goliath is super well known, but have you considered how David did not suddenly have the courage or even the favor of the people and his own when he sought to face Goliath? David knew the crown was coming for him, and yet, he remained consistent with his mundane, day-to-day lifestyle of faithfulness. David EASILY could have been prideful when he showed up with a Lunchable for the army of Israel and his brothers, but David's courage was a direct result of his...

David after his anointing was sought after by King Saul because of his talent and his character. Because of God’s favor on David, Saul’s people took recognition of him through his talents and his abilities. When God places His favor on you after your faithfulness to steward well what He has given you, what skills and talents will you have honed in and perfected for God to use to elevate you among others? The work you do now, the talents you perfect and the skills you hone, God will use them...

God is the God who sees and who hears. In the everyday, mundane, thankless tasks, God sees your faithfulness in them. You put food on the table, you fold the laundry, you clean the bathroom, and maybe nobody thanks you for it. But God sees your faithfulness to the things He has given to you to steward. Maybe you’ve been faithful at your job, but you didn’t get that position you’ve been working so hard for. But God sees your faithfulness. And He rewards it. God saw David’s faithfulness, even...

The Holy Spirit is our Helper. Jesus sent Him to us to guide us and help us, not only on a personal level, but in ALL things, including our children! Joseph and Mary, Jesus’ parents Spirit-led parented Jesus by listening to the angel of the Lord that spoke God’s message to them on what they should do to protect Jesus. Autumn brings on her mom to answer questions about Spirit-led parenting and the results of raising her kids this way. We wish all the moms listening that you have a wonderful...

Are you facing a new beginning? Or are you beginning again? You’re entering a new season, maybe it’s life after a divorce, you’re moving to a new place or starting a new job, or maybe you’ve hit rock bottom and everything just seems dark and void. You need to know this: God didn’t need anything to create everything. He didn’t need Adam, and He doesn’t need you for Him to create opportunities that birth opportunities. Remember, His steps are often easy. You just need to surrender and...

GOD GIVES EASY instructions for victory! The instructions are often easy, but the action required on our part is hard! On Elisha’s deathbed, the king of Israel, Joash, realized he had one opportunity left to ask the power of God to give him victory. The passion Joash had for the victory he wanted showed in the way he obeyed the instruction from the prophet of God. If you don’t put in your entire passion towards the victory you want, you will get the same result. BUT, if you invest everything...

When things don’t make sense, when things don’t go your way, what is your response? Maybe you get frustrated at your job because they didn’t give you that raise they promised, or maybe you get depressed when that opportunity you’ve been looking forward to for years falls through. What if, instead of placing your expectation on the things God has provided for you, you place your expectations on the Provider Himself? Habakkuk was not a quiet prophet. He asked God the hard questions, “Where are...

Ervin Lee joins Autumn in this special wrap-up episode of our series about soul cravings. Ervin shares his testimony of going from seemingly having it all in the world, from wealth, women, and wine, yet an unfilled void in his soul, to becoming satisfied in his soul through faith and treatment. Ervin’s story is a miraculous full-circle from endlessly trying to fill the void in his soul to now helping others find God and receive faith-based recovery through his and his wife’s ministry, From...

Jesus asked his disciples, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts rise in your hearts?” If you feel that Jesus is asking you this today, buckle in because this message is for those of you who are seeking clarity in your lives. The apostles had walked away and had doubts beginning to fill their hearts and minds despite all the things they had witnessed. These are the ones who saw Jesus feed five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish. They saw Jesus resurrect Lazarus, and some of...

Have you ever faced a situation that you are just praying for it to not happen? Maybe it’s bankruptcy, a divorce, or a child who is a prodigal, but whatever it is, you are begging God to take it from you so you don’t have to face it. Jesus shows us, in the Garden of Gethsemane, that deliverance does not always mean FROM a situation, but sometimes it means God delivers THROUGH a situation. Jesus knows what it’s like to face a situation and ask God to let it pass from you. But because Jesus...

Jesus said to His disciples, “I have food to eat that you do not know about,” in John 4, just after speaking with the woman at the well. What is this food He speaks of? Where can we, as believers, find this food and receive it? It was no coincidence that He said this to them immediately after He spoke to the woman at the well, who had been seeking her soul craving for so long and could not find satisfaction.    Monologue: Autumn recounts her family’s trip to Laguna, California, for spring...

Israel cried out for God to give them peace, but what they failed to understand is that what they THOUGHT would give them peace would never fully satisfy them. God’s peace doesn’t always come after a situation is resolved. Sometimes, God’s peace comes before the  impending hardship even begins. Gideon knew this, and he received the Lord’s peace before the war even began. If you’ve been crying out to God, it is time to figure out why you are crying out to Him and to ask for God to satisfy the...

The enemy will do everything he can to try to persuade you from seeking true satisfaction for your soul by offering things that won’t ever satisfy you. They LOOK like they could, and they have a sweet aroma to them. But it won’t satisfy your internal craving. Maybe for you, it’s romantic partners. Maybe it’s the acceptance of others, or maybe it’s how many followers you have on social media. But whatever it is, there is a deeper root to the manifestation of your craving. And His name is...

Does it feel like you have been walking in circles, or have you just been told no by God? What God has set apart for someone else is their territory. And, what God has set apart for YOU, God has had to tell others no because it’s yours. His no will always lead to a better YES. The Israelites had to walk through the territory that God set aside for the descendants of Esau to go to the territory God had set apart for them. Do you feel like this today? Are you confused and even mad about God’s...

Have you checked your foundation recently?

What have you been making your foundation? If your life seems a little unsteady, check the foundation.      Monologue: Autumn celebrates her husband’s birthday.  Message: Autumn shares a message about building your foundation on the rock.  Question: “How can I discern...

Lazarus has died, and his family went through the entire process of burying him. In the midst of their grief, Jesus tells the disciples that He is glad that He wasn’t there to stop Lazarus from getting sick and dying. NOW was the time for Jesus to strengthen their faith! When facing a Lazarus situation, the enemy will try to cloud your mind with emotions and thoughts that God could have stopped it. But what if we peel back those emotions and thoughts, and receive Jesus’s red letters for the...

You’ve been overlooked, you’re frustrated, and you’re starting to think that God has forgotten about you. But He hasn’t! Your hidden season is where God has placed you, not just to keep you from public eyes, but to impart wisdom and truth to you that you will need in your next season. Joseph’s life was full of hidden seasons before his public seasons. What Joseph learned in his hidden season with God, he needed to know BEFORE his next season, and God was faithful to teach Joseph what he...

You hear this phrase said all the time, “Won’t He do it?” But you only hear it said from people whom God has done something for. You hear it when your friend just got married after waiting for YEARS for God to bring her a husband. You hear it when your sister announces a long-awaited pregnancy after years of infertility. You hear it when another friend pays off their last bit of debt that by God’s grace and mercy they were able to get out of. This is a declarative statement that assumes it’s...

All these other people you see get their prayers answered, from finding their spouses, having babies, getting that job, or something else, and you ask yourself, “What do they have that I don’t that they got their prayers answered, but I haven’t gotten mine?” You’re tired and you’re exhausted from waiting and waiting and waiting. In 2 Kings 6 through 7, the king of Samaria boldly asks with bitterness, “Why should I wait for the Lord any longer” to end a famine devastating the land. If you find...

You have seen God work for others, their marriages, their children, their finances. You’ve seen God move in so many areas, you’ve seen Him do all kinds of miracles for everyone else, and you love to see Him do it. But in your quiet time, in the place where no one else hears you, where no one is looking or peeking over, you ask, “What about me? When will that miracle that I need to happen happen to me?” You feel selfish for thinking it, but it’s still how you feel. “When, God? What about me?”...
