Episode 565: New Season, New You! Part 2 | Pastor Verna DeHart

Sermon Title: New Season, New YOU! (Pt. 2)Date: December 17, 2025What if the delay was never denial, but preparation? In this powerful continuation, we step into God’s promise for those coming out of long waiting seasons. Darkness does not get the final word.

God may open doors, but identity determines whether we walk through them and whether we can sustain what’s on the other side.This sermon confronts survival identity and exposes how unhealed wounds, past pain, and distorted self-perception can keep believers from fully entering God’s promises.

He heals first, then He promotes.You’ll hear a clear contrast between survival identity and sonship or daughterhood identity, and why Jesus didn’t come so we could barely make it, but so we could live as fully loved sons and daughters. The message unpacks how identity healing happens through the Spirit of adoption, not striving, and what it looks like when healing begins to take root in everyday life.This episode also speaks directly to the new year ahead.
