God's Plan

In Joyce Meyer's book, How to Hear From God, she says, "God wants to speak to us about the plan He has for our lives. His plan is a good plan, but we are in danger of missing it if we don't learn how to listen and obey God's voice" (p vii). Makes sense, right? When we make a plan, that plan will not happen unless we execute it. Same with God. We have to work His plan. 

It amazes me when people say they want a job or want to lose weight, but do nothing to make it happen. There's a great plan nicely laid out and nothing -- no movement. How are we going to get the things the Lord has for us without action? No job offer is going to just show up in our inbox and no weight is going to miraculously fall off of us when we're doing nothing to get fit. Don't we sometimes wish things were so easy? Life doesn't work that way though. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. 

The bottom line is that we have to be in constant communication (via prayer and reading the word) with God and we have to practice hearing His voice. That just means getting quiet sometimes and listening to what He drops inside of you (your spirit, your heart). As Meyers says, 'the Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth and will lead us into truth. And God speaks to us through reading the bible, nature, people, circumstances, peace, wisdom, supernatural intervention, dreams, visions, and inner witness (that still small voice of just knowing that you know).'  At any rate, we need to stay in touch with God then follow the plan He gives us. "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you" (John 14:26).

Hear what Sha Sha has to say about God's plan for our lives. Sha Sha is my avatar, so her face is based on my face and the voice you hear is actually me speaking through her.

Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
