You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, And in their glory you shall boast. 7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs. 8 “For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery [c]for burnt offering; I will direct their work in truth, And will make with them an everlasting covenant. 9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles, And their offspring among the people.

Be Filled With The Holy Spirit - Janet Swanson 06/24/2024

I THINK MYSELF HAPPY!!! How to combat negative thoughts | Janet Swanson 06/17/2024

I THINK MYSELF HAPPY!!! How to combat negative thoughts | Janet Swanson Janet shares with you some things she has learned throughout the years about how to combat negative thoughts that brought healing to her heart. Hey you guys. I am going to share with you some things I have learned throughout the years, but... also... something that I just read that the HOLY SPIRIT BROUGHT LIGHT AND REVELATION! I THINK MYSELF HAPPY!!! Acts 26:1-3 New King James Version Paul’s Early Life 1 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You are permitted to speak for yourself.” So Paul stretched out his hand and answered for himself: 2 “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because today I shall answer for myself before you concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews, 3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which have to do with the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently. I gave a short a synopsis of Acts 25-27 Everywhere Paul went resulted in conflict, opposition, resistance, but because Paul made a habit of THINKING HIMSELF HAPPY….it changed the course of negativity to something positively powerful. Miracles followed him everywhere he went. Now…I told that story in the Bible because…..Paul stated to the person who was throwing him in prison that he was a blessed man to stand before him. He was fortunate and blessed…..because of how he restructured his thoughts. I want to spend a little time on this because anxiety heightened to extreme levels to where now suicide is at an all time high. The Bible says we need to “renew our minds” Romans 12:2 We demolish arguments, pretensions, assumptions and take captive every thought! 2 Corinthians 10:5 THE BIBLE HAS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT OUR THOUGHTS! Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Matthew 12:34-40 New King James Version (NKJV) For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. So…let’s take a look at ANXIETY THAT has controlled us for far too long IN OUR THOUGHTS! Anxiety is rooted in fear. Fear has 3 components: Insecurity Helplessness Isolation Anxiety can be found in all three of these ways: Spiritual Mental Physical You are a spirit who has a soul and lives in a body. When your spirit collides with the Holy Spirit….now you have what is called FAITH! Now…your spirit (faith) in convincing your soul to BELIEVE that you are who God says you are, you can have what God says you can have, and you can do what God says you can do! As a born again believer, Christian…you are not obligated to give and give and give until there is nothing left. This is man’s way of thinking that if I give then God will be pleased with me. God did not say give and give and give until you are completely drained. The lie is: I have to give until I am completely drained and this is the way of the Christian life and this is what it means to lay my life down for Jesus. The Truth is: I am obligated to do the will of God. Period. Nothing less and nothing more. God does not drain me, but He fills me up! To do His perfect will results in laying my life, my will, down for what He wants! You FIGHT, AND COMBAT THE LIES BY PUSHING BACK WITH THE TRUTH! TODAY I AM BELIEVING THAT STRONGHOLDS OF NEGATIVITY, ANXIETY, FEAR AND INSECURITY WILL BE PULLED DOWN, AND BROKEN OFF YOUR LIFE! I WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW THE BATTLE IS NOT IN YOUR HEART…IT’S IN YOUR MIND. Paul didn’t say, “I feel myself happy” He said, “I THINK myself happy” even when he was faced with death. Even when Jesus was faced with death in Hebrews 12:2 tells us very clearly: “… who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” This verse says Jesus focused on “the joy” that was set before Him as He endured the Cross. His thoughts were SET ON YOU AND ME that caused Him to endure the cross. So, remember, your feelings will deceive you, and it will infiltrate in and through your work, your finances, your relationships and the promises that God has for you. Your mental health is not built in your heart and your feelings. It is built on your thoughts. Listen to all this week’s podcast on how to combat negative thoughts! /episode/index/show/onevoicemakesadifference/id/31737642

Why am I suffering so bad? Janet Swanson 06/10/2024

Why am I suffering so bad? Janet Swanson Janet’s gives a Word of Encouragement from John 16:33 and I Peter 5:1-10 Hey you guys! The Lord as put this word in my heart just for you. I don’t know why, but maybe you’ve been asking the question, “why am I suffering so bad? How long do I have to suffer?” Maybe you’ve been telling yourself this, “I’m doing the will of God, I’m a good person, I pay my tithe, I go to church every Sunday, I’m reading my Bible But…GOD…. I’m still suffering Why? LET’S DIVE IN TO John 16:33 & I PETER 5:1-10 THIS IS OUR FOCUS FOR TODAY! 1 Peter 5:1-10 New American Standard Bible 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. Greek perfect/restore 2675/katartizō (literally "adjust down, exactly") refers to parts working precisely together – fulfilling their intended purpose (potential)" because properly adapted (adjusted). [The root word expresses what is "joined together" in proper adjustment. It means to frame all the parts into an over-all design – so that each part works together "in good order”. 2675 (katartizō) (perfect or restore) is "used of reconciling factions, setting broken bones, putting a dislocated limb into place, mending nets" For example when you have a dislocated shoulder, you go to the ER and the doctor will pop it back in place. It’s painful when it’s out of place, and it’s more painful to pop it back in place. The bone is now set in its proper place so that it can heal. What Paul was saying, after you have suffered a little while, the Lord will adjust you, move you around, put you back in your proper place so that you can function and be in good working order to fulfill the plans that He has written over you life. Greek confirm stērízō: ”a support to fix, plant down";"stand," to set fast or fix you; give you support which secures (firmly establishes); solidly plant (to eliminate vacillation). He will cause you to be rooted, fixed, planted, and make you stable. Strengthen in Greek: , make strong to make mobile, i.e. able to move in a way that achieves something effective. (sthenoō) only occurs in 1 Pet 5:10 of "refusing to be turned away (overpowered).” Established is to be grounded on a solid foundation In this verse, Peter is making closing remarks to churches in Asia Minor. He affirms that the suffering won't last forever, and that God has plans for people in Christ that are eternal and glorious /episode/index/show/onevoicemakesadifference/id/31555647

How God Can Un-Addict the Addicted | The Story of Ron Green 06/03/2024

How God Can Un-Addict the Addicted | The Story of Ron Green Have you ever asked this question? Why? Why can’t I overcome this anxiety, depression, these constant thoughts of hurting myself? Why am I willing to risk and even forsake my family for drugs? Why can’t I stop overeating, stop watching porn, stop gossiping? Why do I hate certain people? Why can’t I forgive? Why am I holding on to so much resentment, bitterness, and envy? Why am I jealous of the success of others? Why is my desire to be rich, powerful, and successful stronger than my desire to be a godly husband and father? Ron found a porn magazine in his neighbor's garbage at 4. He started sniffing gas at 5 and fighting in the 3rd grade. A great-uncle molested him at around 9 or 10. He started stealing candy and selling it at school at 12. He started selling drugs at 14. WHY AND HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? After all he was a pastor’s kid, raised by good parents, raised being taught the Word of God, had multiple powerful encounters with the Holy Spirit as a child and as a teenager. But he was broken, and the enemy exploited the pain, the hurt, the trauma, and the abuse and created an egotistical, self-centered tyrant, which made me successful in the World but worthless in the Kingdom of God. He was booted out of the Army for fighting and went to work, earning over 100k a year as an industrial radiographer. He opened a business at 28 and was a multi-millionaire within a year. He lost the company due to his drug addiction. He went to work in the car business, moved up fast, and within 18 months, He was averaging over 30k a month. He lost that job due to his drug addiction. He committed bank fraud, got caught, and spent 26 months in Federal Prison. And this is where he began to unpack his “Why!” Facebook: YouTube: Website: Amazon Link to the Book: Church Address: Short Creek Church 7785 Alliance Short Creek Rd Mulga, AL 35118 /episode/index/show/onevoicemakesadifference/id/31555617

How To Know God’s Voice | Janet Swanson 05/27/2024

How To Know God’s Voice | Janet Swanson Janet shares how to hear the precious Voice of God!! Hey Guys!! This week’s podcast is so yummy!! It’s like honey to my lips! To know God’s sweet voice and to hear Him is PRICELESS!! Did you know that God is speaking? Did you know that God is speaking to YOU? Yes!! Let’s dive in. Here are the words in Hebrew that I spoke about in the podcast. Words in Hebrew Mind…….Yetzer…………..to imagine, the image of, mind IN the heart Word……Dabar………….. the reality of, the reality being experienced, Read……Qara……………. to encounter, to read is to encounter the author Think……HHASHAV ………to design, to invent, to seal upon our hearts the intentions of our lives. Isaiah 30:21 And your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn (choose the right) to the right or to the left (or make a left) Let’s break this down! Your EARS Hebrew for ears is: ̓ōzen – ear, hearing; (figuratively) "the instrument by which speech and orders are noted – not the brain, as with us. Hence, the ear is the seat of insight" The mastoid bone is the large bone behind your ear that is highly sensitive to hearing. It has a honeycomb-like structure with air spaces called mastoid cells that help maintain the middle ear's air space. Psalms 119:101-104 101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way, That I may keep Thy word. (Dabar) 102 I have not turned aside from Thine ordinances, For Thou Thyself hast taught me. (Taught in Hebrew is yarâ – means, throw, shoot, hit the target "spot on”; by transmitting information "right on-target"; one who effectively teaches. Straight to the EAR….He who has an ear HEAR what the Lord says! 103 How sweet are Thy words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Word in Hebrew here is not Dabar but something different; it’s ’imrah – a spoken word, particularly a "personal promise" (as in Psalms and Proverbs,) – a dynamic word from God birthed in the heart (mind) of the surrendered believer. This brings strength where there is weakness, comfort in distress, deliverance when no human help suffices, etc. 104 From Thy precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. (Precepts in Hebrew is: piqqûd̠îm (always plural, only occurs in Psalms) – precepts, focusing on the controlling principle ("why") that directs the "what" (the content of a law, direction, decision, etc.). Understanding in Hebrew is: ) bîn – nmeans to distinguish between " look a likes" – to discern the inner make-up of something to accurately discriminate; get to the inner reality (root) of a matter, like differentiating the genuine from the counterfeit; distinguishing between pretenders (phonies) which act as substitutes for the real thing – perceiving when something "looks good but smells bad"; "discriminating intelligence," separating the true and the false ("distinguishing things that differ"); discernment focused at its end life-application. Ears will HEAR Hear in Hebrew is šāmaʽ – properly, to hear, especially to obey (implement) what is heard – i.e. hearing with follow-up. (šāma‛) implies taking heed and acting on what is heard – i.e. conscientiously responding to audible or inner hearing (like when receiving faith from God). Reflection: Inner spiritual hearing discerns God's persuasions – hearing His voice through Scripture and communing with Him. Receiving faith from God always requires response – a faith-work done through His power and hence brings righteousness (the approval of God). A Response is: Hab 2:1, "And will watch to see what He will say in me" (not "to me"). Keil-Delitzch (at Hab 2:1), Mt 11:15: "He who has ears to hear, let him hear (LISTEN) Mt 13:10-15: “10 And the disciples came and said to Him, 'Why do You speak to them in parables?' 11Jesus answered them, 'To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. 12 For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while [physically] hearing they do not [spiritually] hear, nor do they understand. 14 In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, "you will keep on [physically] hearing, but will not understand; you will keep on seeing, but will not perceive; for the heart of this people has become dull, with their ears they scarcely hear, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they would see with their eyes [spiritually], hear with their ears [spiritually], and understand with their heart and return, and I would heal them" '" (NASB). SO, TO HEAR IS TO LISTEN & OBEY Will hear a WORD Word……Dabar………….. the reality of, the reality being experienced, expresses "conversing that gets through" – envisioning the state of understanding of the listener and the clarity of the speaker. Will hear a word behind you saying, “this is the WAY” Way in Hebrew means: derek – a well-worn road, highway, one's whole journey (over-all way) of life, rooted in timeless moral-spiritual realities. These are established by God's own nature, the principles of life set by God to experience maximum meaning in one's life-journey. The significance of each scene of life then is both just and predictable as God has connected their eternal values before the foundation of the world. This is the way, WALK in it WALK in Hebrew is: halak – proceed, taking the needed action step(s) – going intentionally to the next place or stage (destination); moving on, walking forward with necessary effort and its resultant progress; THE PURSUIT OF LIFE….LIVING OUT WHAT HAS BEEN SPOKEN! Whenever you turn to the right or to the left TURN in Hebrew means to choose. If you choose to go to the right or your choose to go to the left. Hiphil verb stems shows the doer acts intentionally – convinced of its necessity – so carrying through ("making it happen") by taking the implied action-step. Jeremiah 29:11 says, `For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, `plans for prosperity (a state of wholeness that involves three things: a breath through, so you can breath forth, then you will break out) and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Words in Hebrew FOR I KNOW….Mind…….Yetzer…………..to imagine, the image of, mind IN the heart MY WORD WILL BRING YOU LIFE…NOT DESTRUCTION OR CALAMITY Word……Dabar………….. the reality of, the reality being experienced, WHEN YOU READ MY WORD YOU EXPERIENCE AND ENCOUNTER ME……Read……Qara……………. to encounter, to read is to encounter the author I know the PLANS: /Thoughts….Think……HHASHAV ………to design, to invent, to seal upon our hearts the intentions of our lives. Isaiah 30:21 And your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn (choose the right) to the right or to the left (or make a left) /episode/index/show/onevoicemakesadifference/id/31461717

Do NOT Be Discouraged! for the LORD YOUR GOD is with you! - Janet Swanson 05/13/2024

Do NOT Be Discouraged! for the LORD YOUR GOD is with you! - Janet Swanson Janet tells the story of David at Ziklag and compares it to a crow! Hey You guys! Today’s podcast is going to be fresh manna to your soul! I just have one question for you: Have you been discouraged? If so, this episode is JUST FOR YOU! The other day I was at the beach to watch the sunset with my husband and we saw this black crow taunting this beautiful white BIG bird! The bird was sitting on tree branch, minding its own business, when this mean crow came out of no where as to say, “Hey…move out of the way…that’s my branch!” This crow kept attacking the bird. But he bird just sat there and ignored it! I’m getting fiery mad just watching it! But the bird was calm, cool and collective! Every now and then the bird would raise its wings and shake off the crow, but remained immovable! Let me tell you….GOD SPOKE TO ME THROUGH THIS and I want to share with you what God showed me. 1 Samuel 30:1-8 David and his men WEPT UNTIL THEY HAD NO STRENGTH LEFT! Here in this scripture is the story of David and how he shook off the CROW at Ziklag! HIS CROW WAS DISCOURAGEMENT! What is yours? The crow came to raid, to strip off, make a dash, to invade as in to take over, to remove FAITH, to skin him alive, to strip the off and take David out! Captive: Taking...captive (163) (aichmalotizo from aichme = a spear + halotós = to be taken or conquered) was a military term which mean to take captive as a prisoner or be led away captive Strengthened: 2388 ḥāzaq – , tie up (like a bandage), refusal to let up; show strength that does not yield or quit; (figuratively) unrelenting, stay gripped, holding on to; cling with great "resistance-strength" being immovable; tenacity, strength which does not let go, won't let up, staying gripped ("locked on"); stout, unyielding. I want to leave you with these scriptures and encourage you in the LORD!! DON’T BE DISCOURAGED FOR YOU WILL RECOVER ALL! Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:13 "For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, 'Fear not, I am the one who helps you.’" Deuteronomy 31:8 Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” Psalm 94:18–19 When I thought, "My foot slips," Your steadfast love, O LORD, helped me up. When the cares of my heart are many, Your consolations cheer my soul. John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” /episode/index/show/onevoicemakesadifference/id/31249437

This is Amazing Grace! Easter is coming! 03/25/2024

This is Amazing Grace! Easter is coming! Janet talks about how she picked out Palm Sunday Songs that point to Easter and what they mean. You guys, I know this is an old song, but I pulled it out to do this week because I was feeling it deep in my spirit. Especially after I looked at what it meant. This is how we do our Huddle (word of encouragement) each week at our church. SONG 1: THIS IS AMAZING GRACE by North Point Worship Key words: is the Chorus. This is amazing Grace, this is unfailing love, that he would take my place, that he would bear my cross. You laid down your life, that I’d be set free. Jesus I sing for, all that you’ve done for me! WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN, WORTHY IS THE KING WHO CONQUERED THE GRAVE 1. Ephesians 2:8 2. Romans 5:20–21 3. 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 4. Ephesians 1:2-10 AMPC 5. Hebrews 4:15–16 GRACE: : 5485 xáris "favor, disposed to, inclined, favorable toward, leaning toward to share benefit") – grace (xaris) is primarily used of the Lord's favor, freely extended to give Himself away to people (because He "ever leans toward them”). MERCY: To receive mercy or obtain mercy.—The real meaning is, receive compassion (Hebrews 2:17) in our weakness and trials. éleos (translating OT 2617/ese, "covenant-loyalty," "covenant-love" used over 170 times in the OT….”mercy,” as defined by loyalty to God's covenant. In the NT it’s loyalty and covenant through the blood of Jesus! SONG 2: Name Above All Names by Charity Gayle Key words that stand out to me in this song is the bridge: The cross still stands, the blood still flows, the work is finished and hell still knows The grave is still empty, the tomb is still rolled, and you’re still high and lifted up, you’re still seated on the throne! 1.

Renouncing the Sins of the Father | Janet Swanson 03/18/2024

Renouncing the Sins of the Father | Janet Swanson Our FAITH forms a “belief system” and…….. everything flows out of our belief system. In life, your belief system responds to the faith that’s been poured in your spirit by the Holy Spirit and therefore your spirit is at work convincing your soul that God is able to do the impossible!!!! Your spirit is easy to receive revelation and truth, but your soul wants to try to rationalize it, make sense of it, and weigh out the possibilities. So, your spirit is trying to convince your soul not to look at your circumstances but look at your GOD! THE DYNAMICS OF THE BELIEF-EXPECTATION CYCLE Beliefs are formed out of experiences These “beliefs” lead to expectation that similar things will happen to us. These “expectations” of life shape our behavior, and affect our behavior of other people These “behaviors” lead to repeated experiences that continue to confirm and reinforce our “beliefs”. If our experiences are negative they can lead to “Ungodly Beliefs” unrealistic expectations of life, negative behavior. When Ungodly Beliefs are replaced with Godly Beliefs, the same process leads to Godly expectation of life and Godly behavior. The cycle then becomes a cycle of life Scriptures on sins of the father Exodus 20:4-5 SINS OF THE FATHERS & the CROSS The same sins coming down the family line often cause the same kind of HURTS in each generation Out of these sins that cause HURT, “Ungodly Beliefs” are often formed Satan pressures people to commit these generational sins in order to oppress both us and our future generations. Bad News is our ancestors have sinned and we have sinned! But here’s the Good News! We have a Redeemer! God has provided a way of FREEDOM from all the effects of ancestors sins and our own sin. To receive this freedom, we have to receive by FAITH, what Jesus did for us on the Cross! Here is a list of a few Common Sins & Curses that we can inherit Abandonment Abuse Disease/Illness Fears of all kinds Sexual Impurity Confess Your Sins: Here are some scriptures on confessing! 1 John 1:9-10, Psalm 32:5, Psalm 38:18, Proverbs 28:13, Romans 10:10, Matthew 3:6, Romans 10:9, Psalm 32:3, Hebrews 10:23 THE ANSWER TO SIN IS JESUS! Out of these sins it causes hurt, then ungodly beliefs are often formed. /episode/index/show/onevoicemakesadifference/id/30396478

Transformed into His image | Janet Swanson 02/19/2024

Transformed into His image | Janet Swanson 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!” /episode/index/show/onevoicemakesadifference/id/29996543

Change Your Perspective and Get Ready for a Changed Life! (Part 2) 01/22/2024

Change Your Perspective and Get Ready for a Changed Life! (Part 2) 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 /episode/index/show/onevoicemakesadifference/id/29444453

Change Your Perspective and Get Ready for a Changed Life! (Part 1) 01/15/2024

Change Your Perspective and Get Ready for a Changed Life! (Part 1) 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. /episode/index/show/onevoicemakesadifference/id/29444368
