E08: Choosing to Live Like Israel
from Kingdom Flow · host Kyle Jones & Ian Sperry
We all have the opportunity to experience a deeper relationship with God when we choose to lead our lives according to the teachings of Jesus. But what does it mean to follow Christ wholeheartedly? In this episode of Kingdom Flow, we talk about eliminating Jacob and becoming Israel. We discuss how you can stay committed and faithful to God through actions. Leading a committed Kingdom Flow lifestyle is no easy feat; however, with God as our guide, He will equip us every step of the way! Join Kyle and Ian in their conversation about leading a truly godly life. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Choose to live like Israel Stay committed and faithful Act upon your faith Listen to the voice of God Take care of your body Episode Highlights: [09:15] Choosing to Become Israel It was not until God had changed his name from Jacob to Israel that he was no longer known as a deceiver. God’s redemptive power changes our brokenness for His glory instead of our gain. Like Jacob, we all have a defining moment in our lives where we must choose to step into our new identity in Christ or identify with our past life. [17:35] Living Out Faith and Commitment If we believe Jesus gives us freedom, why do some Christians continue to live in bondage and sin? You must be fully committed and submitted to the Lord to avoid falling back into the habits of Jacob. The will of God requires the activation of faith through action. God honors obedience. [25:11] Gaining Clarity Know the voice of God. Spend time in the Word to gain clarity. Without doing that, you will be gripped by anxiety and fear. That hinders you from a Kingdom Flow lifestyle. Remember to stay the course. [36:15] Why You Should Live Like Israel Living like Israel will not be easy. But living a life of chaos is harder. Choose to work hard and grow in specific areas of your life rather than allow for the chaos that comes later. Set yourself up for the future. [40:41] Next Man Up Sometimes, the smallest lapse of trust and faith will make you miss out on the life God has planned for you. God knows better, and He will always find new ways to speak to us. Do what you need to do to live with that decision every day. [47:09] Our Bodies as Temples Our bodies are temples. So treat your body like a temple and take care of it. Everywhere you go becomes holy because Jesus is holy, and He resides within you. Notable Quotes: [19:55] “A lot of times, the will of God requires an activation of faith.” [20:00] [35:28] “We have the wisdom. And then if we don’t feel like we have the wisdom, we’ve got to take a pause and we’ve got to pray through that. Even the little bitty things.” [35:37] [51:32] “A farmer is not going to plant a seed and not expect the crop.” [51:35] Resources Mentioned: Kingdom Flow Episode 6 Kingdom Flow Episode 7 with Donnie Carr
