#132: E is for ENERGY

The kingdom of God offers us a different kind of energy than the empire of the world. The source of kingdom energy is God. His energy is love, and when we're aware that we're plugged into this power, we experience peace--not anxiety. Love energy is supernatural energy. That's one big reason why living loved feels so different from living afraid, so you're in the right place if -  You're tired of running on the fuel of fear and anxiety and you're hungry for permission to believe in something more.  You enjoy hearing supernatural stories that empower you to believe in more than your natural eyes can see and your natural ears can hear.  You're ready to live a life trusting that you are valuable and protected by the God of the Universe who is your Father - and who is inviting you into a love story of epic proportions because you are His child. In this episode, Janet tells a supernatural love story, and Doug reminds us that the way things are in our world is not the way things can be in the kingdom. God is making all things new—and that's His provision. He protects the vulnerable and writes a new story that's impossible without Him.   Dare to imagine a supernatural love story with God as you listen to this episode and linger in these TAKEAWAYS: Don't simply pray for broken relationships to be healed. Pray for God's power to bring forth a new relationship to enjoy where broken has been something you've lived with for too long.  Empowered means "giving someone the authority or power to do something" or "making someone stronger and more confident." Being empowered in the Kingdom of God is very different from being empowered in the systems that exist in our world today because the roots of these systems were built before Jesus gave us a new heart, a new covenant, and ushered in a new kingdom. The energy in the kingdom of God primarily protects the vulnerable and provides the priceless. As followers of Jesus, we have this power, too. We are empowered and can empower others - with love, not fear. Janet and Doug talk about these resources in this episode: Episode #72 - Anxiety, Depression, and the Energy LOVE Offers The Heart Of Man It's not just a tagline—together, there is great hope.
