99: Cleansing His Temple -Holy Week

During Holy Week, Jesus enters the temple and finds that the Lords house has become corrupt. People were buying and selling goods and it had become something it was never intended to be. And in Jesus' redemptive ways, He truly flips the tables, sending all of the corruption out, cleansing the temple of it all and teaching them the truth.  In this episode my thought is simple, we (as followers of Jesus Christ) are His temples filled with His spirit that cleanses us of all unrighteousness. How might His Spirit be cleansing us as His temple? And how can we seek Him in that this week?

98: 7 Things To Consider Doing During Holy Week

If you're listening to this in real time, Holy Week is the week that leads us into Easter Sunday (Resurrection Sunday). Its referenced as Holy Week because it was and will forever be a week that was set apart. A week where so much prophecy was fulfilled & a week that led to the last supper, Jesus on the cross & rising again and defeating death. Proving... that He IS the son of God. But actually, there's even more to it.  In this episode we walk through 7 things to consider doing during Holy Week that just might grow your relationship with God, allow you to be intentional with your family and just might fan the flame of your faith as well.  Worship songs to listen to during Holy Week Holy Hands [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKaDtKRIFNY&list=RDAKaDtKRIFNY&start_radio=1] Hosanna  [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnMevXQutyE&list=RDhnMevXQutyE&start_radio=1] Sunday Is Coming [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJeiyCbVn6k&list=RDPJeiyCbVn6k&start_radio=1] Thank You Jesus For The Blood [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhU-Omwg2rU&list=RDdhU-Omwg2rU&start_radio=1] Come Out of That Grave [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVYO9KsVGI4&list=RDKVYO9KsVGI4&start_radio=1] Resurrecting  [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf8Zzn4nOzc&list=RDRf8Zzn4nOzc&start_radio=1] No One Like The Lord [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DjKbUQfe9U&list=RD6DjKbUQfe9U&start_radio=1] Ways to connect Website [https://jillianwhinery.com/] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thejillianwhineryshow/] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1759350/support]

97: If there is such a good, loving and all powerful God, then why do we see so much evil and suffering take place throughout the world?

I'll be honest, there is A LOT to this question -and the enemy knows that and uses this very question to get people to turn from God all the time. All of that to me, is heartbreaking because I've been there too. While there is so much in scripture that brings light to this question in the midst of our suffering and that in which we see take place, there is also some things that will remain a mystery on this side of heaven. In this episode we walk through many reasons why we suffering and evil, how it started, how God can use it and where we can rest in the unknown. My heart is that you would be encouraged to not let your suffering get in between you and God. He is merciful, he is loving, he is good, he is all powerful & he is just. And in your suffering my prayer is that you would seek him, still follow him and trust him because he is the only one that can redeem it all.  Ways to connect Website [https://jillianwhinery.com/] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thejillianwhineryshow/] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1759350/support]

96: When it feels like God isn’t answering your prayers

When it comes to our prayer life & talking to God… there are some prayers that can feel like we've brought to God for years, even decades and yet nothing seems to be happening. Prayers that align with Gods heart, His word & His promises and yet as we’ve come to Him again and again, asking, seeking and knocking (just like scripture says to), it can feel like radio silence. During those times of intense praying and not seeing changes, discouragement can easily set in which can fall into: -Doubting in Gods goodness -Doubting that He hears us -Doubting that He sees us  -And doubting that He even cares about us (All lies by the way) And if we aren’t careful… we can believe those lies and begin to find our discouragement growing into resentment, bitterness and intense heartache.  In this episode we unpack somethings we can consider during those seasons of praying and contending while we aren't seeing it come to pass YET. How we can check our hearts, shift our prayers, keep believing & moving forward with expectation that He is in fact at work.

95: Fasting Part 3: When you're on a fast & struggling -LISTEN

I know biblical fasts can be hard. In our own human the desire for food, as well as  battling the temptations of the enemy to give in and quit... can feel too easy to listen to. But as a result if we give in to that, we can miss all of what God wants to show us or do in us or through us or for that person or aspect we're fasting, praying and seeking God about. So I wanted to make sure you had someone in your corner to encourage you to not give in until your fast is up (as long as you're doing this in a healthy way). To remind you that God is not done and break through is coming. Listen in as I give you a Psalm, encouragement & prayer. God is with you friend:)  Worship to listen to while on your fast  Live Sessions [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T86lqCXGKlg] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1759350/support]
