Diving Deeper

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Diving Deeper Podcast!! Today, I’m joined by my friend, Val! She brings a lot of wisdom, kindness, and meekness to this conversation, and we dive deep into fruit!Here are the 9 fruit principles we discussed:​ “Good fruit cannot come from unhealthy roots.”​ “A strong tree cannot exist without deep roots.” [Psalm 1] ​ “Fruit doesn’t ripen unless it spends time in sunlight and receives steady nourishment.”​ “Fruit that can be inspected and picked doesn’t have defenses up like thorns. [Matthew 7:16]… but also, plants have thorns to protect from enemies”​ [Matthew 7:18]​ “A healthy cannot NOT bear fruit. Fruit is ALWAYS a product of a tree that is watered and tended well. A healthy tree bears witness to the one who planted it/tended it.” ​ “Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.”… we play a part in our gardening… [Matthew 3:8]​ “Damage from spiritual termites doesn’t always show up initially… damage starts from the core and spreads outward… then, if someone comes along to prune the tree or climb up to pick/inspect its fruit, it collapses under the weight of pressure.”​ “If the bad roots are uprooted and destroyed… good plants and good fruit cannot come from it. EVEN IF above the surface, everything looks/appears completely uprooted… we must go deep into the soil and remove everything that corrupts or inhibits the flow of water”Here are the 9 fruit of the Spirit:​ Love​ Joy​ Peace​ Patience​ Kindness ​ Goodness​ Faithfulness​ Gentleness​ Self-controlWe pray the LORD speaks to you through this episode, and we love you!

Welcome back to the Diving Deeper Podcast!I’m joined by my friend, Shac, and we have a deep conversation on our identity in Christ! Speaking life is IMPORTANT.I recommend having your physical Bible and a notebook/journal out so you can take notes and write down what the LORD is speaking to your heart.This is a mature conversation. We talk about mental health, demons, lies, deception, and the weight of the Blood of Jesus and the Cross… all in the life of a Christian. This conversation isn’t for those with a closed mind, closed ears, or a closed heart… that being said, we want you to listen all the way through and hear what God has to say about this in His Word! :)Be careful what you say and think, especially to and about yourself. In Christ, you are free from the fear of death and the yoke of sin. You can still be deceived and tempted and demonized and tormented, especially if there are open doors of sin, unholiness, compromise, unforgiveness. This is serious.But so is the Cross. Jesus wasn’t just “playing a game.” He defeated death, Hell, and the grave!! Hallelujah!! Amen! Glory to God!We love you, but God loves you even more!

The Bible is a double-edged sword, a lamp, and a light, and is also called the Word and the Sword of the Spirit!!
