Ep. 23 | How Long Will You Mourn? You Have an Assignment | 1 Samuel 16:1

Ep. 23 | How Long Will You Mourn? You Have an Assignment | 1 Samuel 16:1 Have you been asking God to restore something He has already released? In this episode of The Cost To Arise Talkshow, Tammara J Banks takes us to 1 Samuel 15–16, where God asks the prophet Samuel a life-changing question: "How long will you mourn for Saul?" (1 Samuel 16:1) Samuel was grieving what could have been while God was preparing him for what was next. Together, we'll explore how prolonged mourning, people-pleasing, and partial obedience can keep us from stepping into God's next assignment. You'll discover why fresh oil is necessary for a fresh season and how God often calls us to release what has expired so we can embrace what He is doing now. • Why God rejected Saul as king • Obedience is better than sacrifice • How the fear of people's opinions can outweigh God's commands • Why Samuel had to stop mourning before he could anoint David • Letting go of expired seasons • Fresh oil for a fresh assignment • Personal reflections on grief, healing, and trusting God's process If you've been struggling to let go of what was, this episode will encourage you to trust the God who is already preparing what's next. 📖 1 Samuel 15:3–35 📖 1 Samuel 15:22–24 📖 1 Samuel 16:1 📖 Isaiah 43:19 📖 Colossians 3:2 💚 Join DC Circle (7-Day Complimentary Trial) https://www.skool.com/destiny-connecthers-circle-8125/about [https://www.skool.com/destiny-connecthers-circle-8125/about]📧 Join Our Email Community http://bit.ly/44MXxAP [http://bit.ly/44MXxAP]📺 Subscribe to The Cost To Arise Talkshow http://bit.ly/3UiIqZH [http://bit.ly/3UiIqZH]If this ministry has encouraged your walk with Christ and you'd like to help us continue reaching Kingdom women around the world, we'd be honored to have you partner with us. 💚 Zelle: destinyconnecthers@gmail.com 💚 PayPal: https://bit.ly/4ukSFfy [https://bit.ly/4ukSFfy]Thank you for your prayers, generosity, and partnership as we continue helping women arise in faith, healing, purpose, and leadership.

Gluttony Is Keeping You Broke

What if the thing you've been calling a money problem is actually a stronghold problem? In this powerful episode of Wellness Woman Wednesday, Tammara J Banks shares a deeply personal testimony of how God revealed the connection between gluttony, poverty, scarcity mindsets, emotional wounds, and generational strongholds operating within her family line. What started as a fitness journey in 2015 to fit into a bridesmaid dress became a decade-long journey of taking her temple back, breaking cycles, confronting strongholds, and learning biblical stewardship. Through her salvation journey, a life-changing financial breakthrough conversation, and becoming her mother's full-time caregiver during her battle with dementia, God began revealing patterns that had been hidden for generations. In this episode, Tammara unpacks how gluttony is not just about food. It can manifest as overconsumption, emotional eating, escapism, unhealthy attachments, lack of self-control, and appetites that compete with God's authority in our lives. Using Proverbs 23:20-21 as the anchor scripture, she explores the biblical connection between gluttony, poverty, stewardship, prayer, fasting, and renewing the mind. If you've ever struggled with scarcity, financial instability, emotional eating, self-sabotage, or feeling stuck in repeating cycles, this conversation will challenge you to look beyond the surface and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the root.
