One thing that people really need to understand is that GOD is more concerned about your heart than your performance. A lot of us spend every single week keeping score on ourselves. We sit around feeling guilty because we missed a prayer night, forgot to read our Bible one day, missed church, or didn’t volunteer enough. Meanwhile, GOD is looking deeper than all of that.People really think Christianity is about checking boxes. “Did I pray enough?” “Did I give enough money?” “Did I serve enough at church?” “Did I bring enough people to Bible study?” But the truth is, you can do ALL of those things and still have an ugly heart.You can preach and still be hateful.You can give money and still be prideful.You can lead a church and still lack compassion.You can sing worship songs every Sunday and still mistreat people behind closed doors.That is why GOD looks at the heart first.1 Samuel 16:7 says:“For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”That scripture says everything. Humans are impressed by titles, numbers, followers, church positions, and appearances. GOD is not moved by any of that if the heart is corrupt.Sometimes we are harder on ourselves than GOD is. Some people truly believe GOD is sitting there angry because they forgot to pray one night after being exhausted from life. Meanwhile GOD understands your struggles, your pain, your stress, and your heart posture.Matthew 22:37 says:“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.”Notice how it says HEART first.GOD wants sincerity. He wants kindness. He wants humility. He wants love. He wants forgiveness. He wants people who genuinely care about others instead of pretending to be holy for attention.Honestly, some of the meanest people sit in church every week while some broken people outside the church have hearts full of compassion and love. That should tell people something.Stop thinking GOD only values religious activity. He values transformation of the heart. Yes, prayer matters. Yes, giving matters. Yes, serving matters. But none of those things mean anything if your heart is full of bitterness, jealousy, hate, arrogance, and cruelty.At the end of the day, GOD is not asking you to be perfect. He is asking you to have a heart that is willing to love, grow, repent, and seek Him honestly.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

There’s something about this verse that just sits deep in my spirit and won’t let me go. When it talks about offering your body as a living sacrifice, that hit me different. Because a sacrifice isn’t something easy. It’s not comfortable. It’s not convenient. It’s something you give up… fully. And when I really sat with that, I realized—God isn’t just asking for a moment from us. He’s asking for us. Not halfway. Not when it feels good. Not only when things are going right. But even when it hurts. Even when it doesn’t make sense. A living sacrifice means waking up every day and choosing God, even when everything in you wants to go back to what’s familiar. Choosing Him when the world says, “Do what makes you happy.” Choosing Him when your situation looks dead, when people count you out, when nothing around you reflects what God promised. That part about not conforming to this world… that’s real. Because the world will pull on you. It will try to shape you, break you, and make you believe that what you see is all there is. But I’ve learned that what we see isn’t always the truth. God moves in ways we can’t always understand. And sometimes the biggest act of faith is saying, “God, I trust you,” when nothing around you is giving you a reason to. And that’s where the renewing of your mind comes in. Because if you don’t let God change the way you think, you’ll keep going back. Back to old habits. Back to old ways. Back to things God already brought you out of. And I’m learning that just because something feels familiar doesn’t mean it’s right. Sometimes going back is easier—but it’s not better.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

A lot of us walk around saying, “I’m trying to hear from God,” but if we’re honest, we’re only open to hearing what we agree with. The moment truth shows up in a way that challenges us, corrects us, or exposes something in us—we shut down. We get defensive. We dismiss it. Or worse… we ignore it completely.But here’s the truth: God has been speaking to you.Not just today. Not just recently. A long time ago.Through people. Through situations. Through that uncomfortable feeling you keep pushing away. Through that one conversation that stuck with you longer than it should have. Through correction you didn’t ask for but needed anyway.And instead of sitting with it and going back to God like, “Lord, fix my heart so I can receive this,” we go everywhere else. We look for validation. We look for agreement. We look for someone to tell us we’re fine the way we are.But growth doesn’t happen in comfort—it happens in truth.Sometimes people aren’t attacking you. Sometimes they’re revealing something you genuinely can’t see about yourself. And instead of labeling them as negative or “coming for you,” maybe—just maybe—that’s God trying to get your attention.We say we want clarity, but we avoid conviction.We say we want God’s voice, but we reject His method.God is limitless. He’s not boxed into one way of speaking. He will use whatever—and whoever—He needs to reach you.The real issue isn’t that God isn’t speaking.The issue is that we’re not present enough to hear Him.We’re distracted. We’re prideful. And sometimes… we’re just not ready to accept the truth.But here’s where it shifts: maturity is when you start praying differently.“Lord, don’t just speak to me—prepare me to receive it.”“Correct my heart so I don’t reject what I need.”“Help me recognize your voice—even when it’s uncomfortable.”Because once you get to that place, everything changes.You stop running from truth… and start growing through it.God is speaking.The question is—are you finally ready to listen?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

I’m just going to say it how it is, because this has been on my mind heavy lately. One thing that confuses me about some people in the church is how easy it is for them to talk about the Word but not actually live it. And I’m not saying anybody has to be perfect, because clearly, none of us are. But there’s a difference between struggling and straight-up ignoring what you’re teaching.Like, how are you going to sit there and tell people how to live for Christ, but behind closed doors you’re doing the complete opposite? That’s where it starts to feel fake. And people can see that. You might think they don’t, but trust me, they do. Jesus made it clear we’re supposed to be doers of the Word, not just hearers. It’s easy to quote scripture. It’s easy to post about God. It’s easy to give advice. But living it? That’s the real work. That’s where the consistency shows up.And honestly, this is why a lot of people don’t take Christianity seriously. It’s not always the message—it’s the messengers. When people see hypocrisy, it turns them off completely. You can’t tell someone “God is love” but you’re full of hate. You can’t talk about honesty but you’re lying and manipulating people. That’s what makes people question everything.And then we wonder why folks don’t want to come to church or don’t trust believers. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being real. If you mess up, own it. If you’re struggling, say that. But don’t act like you’re walking in something that you’re not even trying to live. That’s where the problem comes in.Because when you’re in a position where you’re teaching, leading, or even just speaking about God, people are watching you whether you like it or not. They’re building trust based on what you say AND what you do. And if those two things don’t line up, your credibility starts to fall apart.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

In this powerful and eye-opening podcast, the message is clear—your relationship with God is personal, direct, and accessible without needing to rely solely on prophets, pastors, or spiritual leaders for answers. While guidance from others can be helpful, the core truth is that God desires consistent, personal communication with His people. Too often, individuals seek direction from others before first seeking God for themselves. This message challenges that mindset and calls believers back to the foundation of faith: prayer, reading the Word, and being spiritually present.When you truly desire change and growth in your life, it starts with positioning your heart to hear from God directly. The Bible speaks, prayer connects, and through daily communication, clarity begins to form. Being prophetic or spiritually gifted does not replace your responsibility to seek God—it should actually encourage you to go deeper.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

Let me say this with clarity, because this isn’t just a thought—this is something God will show you when you start paying attention.Everything that doesn’t work out is not a loss. It is a decision made by God. We get caught up thinking we missed something, or that we weren’t good enough, or that we should’ve done more. But that’s not what’s happening. What’s really happening is that God is closing doors you were never assigned to walk through.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

There are seasons in life when everything looks like it is lining up perfectly, and you truly believe God is taking you one way, only to realize later that He was using that very process to take you somewhere completely different. That can be hard to understand when you are in the middle of it. It can feel confusing, painful, and even disappointing. But sometimes God will allow a door to open just enough to get you moving, not because that door is your final destination, but because movement itself is part of His plan.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

Let’s be real for a moment… God never left us. Not once. Not ever. Somewhere along the way, many of us started feeling like God was distant, silent, or gone. We say things like, “Where is God?” or “Why did He leave me in this situation?” But the truth that hit me hard is this: God didn’t leave—we did.God has always been present. He has always been speaking, guiding, and covering us, even when we didn’t recognize it. The real issue is that we drift. We get distracted. We get hurt. We start trusting our feelings more than His truth. And before we know it, we’ve slowly walked away from the very One who never moved.Think about it—how many times has God already shown you who He is? How many times has He brought you out, warned you, protected you, or spoke peace into your spirit? He has already proven Himself over and over again. But when life gets loud, we forget. And when we forget, we become vulnerable.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

One of the most important things we can understand as people of faith is that when we ask God for wisdom, it should not be because of the benefits that might come with it. Too often, people pray for wisdom hoping that it will lead them to wealth, success, influence, or recognition. But the real purpose of wisdom is much deeper than that. Wisdom is meant to guide our hearts, shape our choices, and allow God to use us for His purpose.When we look at the story of King Solomon in the Bible, we see a powerful example of this truth. Solomon is known as one of the wisest men who ever lived. When God appeared to him and asked what he desired, Solomon did not ask for riches, power, or long life. Instead, he asked for wisdom so that he could lead God’s people with understanding and fairness.Because Solomon’s request pleased God, God gave him wisdom beyond measure. But that was not all. God also blessed him with wealth, honor, and influence unlike any king before him. Solomon became incredibly prosperous. His kingdom flourished, his reputation spread across nations, and people traveled from far away just to hear the wisdom that God had given him.At first glance, this seems like the perfect story. A man asks God for wisdom, God gives it to him, and with it comes riches and power. But when we continue to read the story of Solomon’s life, we learn something very important. Even with all the wisdom God gave him, Solomon was still human, and he still struggled with temptation and disobedience. God had clearly warned the kings of Israel not to marry many women, especially foreign women who worshipped other gods. The reason for this warning was simple. God knew that these relationships could lead the king’s heart away from Him. Unfortunately, Solomon did not follow that command.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

Recently during prayer and reflection, something powerful came to my spirit that I felt God made very clear: when you ask Him to remove your enemies, you cannot be surprised when chaos begins to happen around you. Many of us pray for protection, justice, and for the people who mean us harm to be removed from our lives. But sometimes we forget that when God answers those prayers, the process is not always peaceful or comfortable. God spoke to my heart and reminded me of something important: we are not running with weakness anymore—we are running with horses now. That message immediately reminded me of the scripture in Jeremiah that says if running with men has tired you, how will you run with horses? In other words, the challenges we face are often preparing us for something greater. Trials are not always a sign that something is wrong; sometimes they are proof that God is strengthening us for the path ahead. When you walk with Christ, life does not suddenly become free of problems. In fact, Jesus made it clear that the opposite can sometimes happen. Following Him means standing in truth, and truth often brings opposition. People who once supported you may begin to turn against you. Situations that once seemed calm can suddenly become chaotic. But that does not mean God has abandoned you. Often it means He is moving things that were never meant to stay in your life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

There is a powerful biblical principle that many believers overlook: unity invites blessing. Scripture asks in Amos 3:3, “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” Agreement is more than simply being in the same space — it is spiritual alignment. When a husband and wife are aligned in heart, purpose, and obedience to God, there is strength in that union. Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 reminds us, “Two are better than one… For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.” Marriage is not merely romantic; it is covenantal and spiritual. Marriage is described in Malachi 2:14 as a covenant witnessed by God Himself. That means what is built inside of marriage carries spiritual weight. When a couple prays over land, purchases property together, and builds assets while unified, those things are established under agreement. Unity becomes the soil in which the blessing grows.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

One thing we’ve got to remember as believers is that God has requirements. We can’t say we want to work for the Kingdom and then show up any kind of way — in spirit, attitude, or appearance. Every job you apply for has a uniform, an expectation of how you should present yourself. The Kingdom of Heaven is no different.When we say “yes” to God, we’re agreeing to represent Him — not ourselves.That means aligning our appearance, our lifestyle, and our behavior with His Word, not the world’s trends. If God says modesty, holiness, and humility are the standard, then that’s our spiritual dress code.It’s not about being legalistic, it’s about being recognizable. Just like you can tell a nurse from her scrubs or a police officer from his badge, the world should be able to tell who God’s people are — not because we’re loud about it, but because we live it.So the next time you feel like you’re being called to serve, take a moment to ask yourself:👉 “Do I look like what God says I should?”👉 “Am I wearing the uniform of righteousness?”Let’s make sure our outside reflects what’s happening on the inside, because in this Kingdom — representation matters.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

In this reflective faith-based podcast episode, Ya Girl Renae shares a personal spiritual revelation inspired by the biblical moment in Exodus when Moses strikes the rock and water flows out in the wilderness. Using this powerful image, she explores how situations that appear hard, sealed, and impossible may still contain hidden life and purpose.Through calm storytelling and spiritual insight, the episode connects ancient scripture to modern struggles, encouraging listeners to trust God during seasons of pressure, delay, and uncertainty. Renae reflects on the idea that obedience and faith can unlock healing, restoration, and breakthrough, even when circumstances seem unmovable.Centered on the belief that God is still a healer and provider, the episode offers encouragement to those facing emotional, physical, or spiritual challenges, reminding them that what looks dry on the outside may already hold what they need within. The message emphasizes trust, patience, and hope, presenting faith as a source of strength in difficult moments rather than a promise of instant solutions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

One of the hardest things for us to do as believers isn’t doing more—it’s learning how to be still. Scripture reminds us plainly: “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 God is not asking us to fix, manage, or rescue our own lives. He is God all by Himself. He doesn’t need our help—He desires our trust and obedience. So often we trust God with the big, obvious things but keep tight control over the rest—our plans, our timelines, our fears, our relationships. But partial trust isn’t trust at all. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6 Stillness doesn’t mean inactivity; it means surrender. It means quieting the noise so we can hear His voice and choosing obedience even when it doesn’t make sense. God values obedience over our efforts: “To obey is better than sacrifice.” — 1 Samuel 15:22 When we stop striving and start listening, we discover something powerful: God has already gone before us.  “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14 God isn’t looking for helpers—He’s looking for hearts that are fully His. When we release control and trust Him with every part of our lives, we experience the peace and direction that only He can give. 🎙 Podcast Sneak Peek: Be Still & Trust What if the breakthrough you’re praying for doesn’t require more effort—but more surrender? In this episode, we’ll talk about what it really means to be still before God, how to recognize His voice, and why obedience matters more than our plans.

I’ve been sitting with a revelation that changed the way I look at recognition, purpose, and suffering — and I’m finally talking about it on the podcast. You don't need to be recognized by people, you need to only be recognized by GOD! We live in a time where everyone wants to be seen, heard, elevated, and remembered. But what if the very thing people are chasing… isn’t how God actually does elevation at all?Jesus wasn’t known because He stayed visible.He was known because He was obedient — even unto death.And that truth opens up a much bigger conversation about why this walk feels hard, why persecution hurts the way it does, and why so many people want the glory without understanding what comes before it.There’s a difference between being popular and being purposeful.There’s a difference between doing what everyone else is doing and carrying something that can’t be duplicated.I don’t want to give this away in a post — because it needs to be heard, not skimmed. But I will say this:If you’ve ever felt like you’re dying to the old you…If you’ve ever felt misunderstood for choosing God over applause…If you’ve ever wondered why doing the right thing still feels costly…This episode is for you.The full breakdown, the deeper meaning, and the part I can’t type out — that’s on the podcast. 🎙️Trust me… this one goes deeper than people expect.Stay tuned.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

I had to sit with what God showed me today. We are quick to believe the bad in people, quick to repeat it, quick to disqualify them, but when it comes to ourselves, we want grace, mercy, and understanding. That contradiction? God had something to say about it… and it might be the very reason some blessings are delayed.There’s something God spoke to my spirit today that I can’t shake, and I won’t pretend it was comfortable. He reminded me that He is a God of second chances—and if I truly say I know Him, then my posture toward people has to reflect that truth.Here’s the problem though. Many of us are excellent at believing the worst about others. If someone messes up, fails publicly, or does something that doesn’t sit right with us, we lock them into that moment forever. We replay it. We define them by it. We cancel them out completely. But then… when it’s our past, our mistake, our weak season, suddenly we want God to “understand,” to “see our heart,” to “remember our growth.”God showed me how backwards that is.When we only believe the bad in people, we leave no room for correction, growth, or redemption. And that’s dangerous, because correction is how people learn. Without it, without patience, without someone willing to see potential instead of permanence, how does anyone ever become better?People do not always remain where they are.You didn’t.I didn’t.And God didn’t meet us at our worst just to abandon us there.What really struck me was this: when we cancel people out completely, we are silently telling God, “I decide who deserves grace.” And that’s not our place. That’s not our authority. Judgment belongs to God alone.God is not a God of “just a select few.” He is a God of everybody. And in this season, a lot of people are praying for blessings while simultaneously asking God to punish someone else. But mercy doesn’t work like that. You don’t get to demand grace for yourself while denying it to others. That door doesn’t stay open.This is why some people feel stuck spiritually.This is why prayers feel unanswered.This is why peace feels distant.It’s not always because of what was done to you—it’s sometimes because of what you refuse to release from you.God showed me that paying attention only to the bad can blind you to the good. And when you miss the good, you miss what God might be trying to grow. You miss the lesson. You miss the purpose. You even miss the blessing that can come out of an uncomfortable situation.That doesn’t mean ignoring wrongdoing.That doesn’t mean excusing behavior.That doesn’t mean trusting people blindly.It means understanding that God specializes in transformation, not permanent labeling.And here’s the part that really sat heavy with me: many of the same people who were given patience, time, and mercy by God are now the loudest voices saying someone else should get none. That’s not discernment—that’s pride dressed up as righteousness.God touched my soul with this because He made it clear:If you want mercy, you must walk in mercy.If you want grace, you must extend grace.And if you want God to work in your life, you cannot block Him by trying to do His job.I go much deeper into this on the podcast—what God showed me, what Scripture confirms, and why this message is critical right now. This post is just the surface. The conversation? That’s where the real revelation is.🎧 Listen to the full episode on the podcastBecause some truths aren’t meant to be skimmed—they’re meant to be heard.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

https://kingdominfluencemedia.com/2025/08/21/nicki-minaj-god-is-speaking/I had to learn the hard way that not everybody is meant to understand my relationship with God—and that’s okay.One thing God has really been teaching me lately is this: we have to stop trying to explain ourselves to people who were never meant to understand us in the first place. Especially when it comes to our relationship with Him. I used to feel like I had to explain why I move the way I move, why I don’t do certain things, why my heart is sensitive, why my convictions are strong, why I choose obedience even when it costs me comfort or relationships. But God gently showed me something that changed everything—this walk is not for public approval.Your relationship with God is exactly that: a relationship. And just like any real relationship, it’s personal. Intimate. Sacred. There are things between you and God that were never meant to be put on display or explained to people who don’t share that same heart posture. Not everybody is supposed to “get” you, and not everybody deserves an explanation. That was freeing for me.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

There comes a moment in life when God allows you to see the real character of a person. Not the mask. Not the charm. Not the words. The heart. And when that moment happens, it can feel painful, confusing, and even unfair. But one thing I’ve learned — and I need people to really hear this — God does not expose things to hurt you. He exposes things to protect you.God had to let you see the bad so you could finally understand what was truly going on. You weren’t crazy. You weren’t overthinking. You weren’t “reading too much into it.” God wanted you to see clearly. He never wants His children walking in darkness, confusion, or deception. Everything about God is rooted in truth.Scripture tells us plainly that whatever is hidden will be brought to the light. That’s not a threat — that’s a promise. If God loves you, He will not allow lies to sit over your eyes forever. He will pull the cover back. And when He does, it may hurt, but it will also free you.A lot of times, when something falls apart, we blame God. We ask, “Why did You let this happen?” But what if the real reason wasn’t punishment at all? What if God was saying, “I needed to get your attention.” Sometimes the process hurts because we were comfortable in something that wasn’t good for us. And God, being a loving Father, will disrupt comfort if it’s keeping you from Him.God is not a liar. He doesn’t manipulate. He doesn’t deceive. When He shows you someone’s true character, it’s because He doesn’t want you trapped in something that could destroy you later. He’s saving you from deeper pain down the road. And even though it feels overwhelming in the moment, it’s actually mercy in disguise.Think about Apostle Paul. Before he became Paul, he was Saul — confident, religious, and completely convinced he was right. God could have gently whispered to him, but instead, God knocked him down and blinded him. That encounter wasn’t pleasant. It was terrifying. Paul was left in despair, confusion, and darkness. But it had to happen. God needed his attention.Once Paul heard God’s voice, everything changed. What felt like devastation became destiny. His hardship wasn’t random — it was purposeful. And in the end, God received the glory.That’s how God works with us too.Sometimes He allows situations to collapse because we weren’t listening before. Sometimes He lets us see betrayal, dishonesty, or manipulation so we never walk into it again. And sometimes, He uses pain as a doorway back to Him — not because He enjoys our suffering, but because He loves us too much to leave us lost.We have to stop seeing God as the villain in our story when He’s actually the rescuer. The process had to happen. The truth had to come out. The light had to shine. And once it does, God says, “Now let Me heal you. Let Me guide you. Let Me be your God.”Every single thing you’ve been through — yes, even the parts that broke your heart — God can use to make something brand new. That’s why gratitude matters. Not because the pain was good, but because God is faithful through it.So if God has recently shown you the truth about a person, a situation, or even yourself, don’t run from Him. Thank Him. He didn’t expose it to shame you. He exposed it to save you.And I hope that encourages you today. 💛Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

You don’t have room on your plate for hate. You just don’t. Hate takes up space that love, peace, wisdom, and discernment are supposed to fill. When you choose to hate, you’re choosing to operate outside of God’s character. And a lot of folks want God to move, want God to fight, want God to expose people, but they aren’t even standing in line with Him. You’re asking God to cosign behavior He already told you not to operate in.And let’s talk about this real quick—because it needs to be said. Wanting God to “get” somebody while you refuse to love them is not righteousness. That’s pride dressed up as spirituality. That’s ego pretending to be discernment. And yes, sometimes that’s a Jezebel-type spirit at work—manipulation, control, offense, self-righteousness, and a refusal to submit to God’s actual instruction.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

And not just a little bit — I mean lie, exaggerate, twist things, and make you believe something that God never said. Feelings are powerful, but they are not always truth. And for some reason, when life hits us hard, our emotions start talking louder than the Word. 😒There are moments when you’ll say, “God, where are You? Why don’t I feel You? Why does it seem like I’m going through this alone?” And the whole time, God is looking at you like, “I’m right here. I never moved.”We forget that we’re living in a spiritual world, and just because you feel silence doesn’t mean God is absent. Sometimes God lets your emotions quiet down so your faith can rise up. Because if you never learn to trust Him beyond your feelings, you will keep letting your emotions lead you into fear, confusion, and frustration that He never intended for you.Here’s the truth:God wants to see how you come out of the battle… but also how you ACT in the middle of it.We love to say, “The battle is the Lord’s,” but then we act like we’re supposed to fight it with our emotions. No! God wants to see if you’ll still walk in obedience when your feelings are screaming something different. He wants to see if you can stay calm when everything in you wants to run, shout, or snap back. That’s the real test.You might not feel good about what happened. You might not feel strong. You might not feel supported. But listen — feelings are not facts.What is a fact?God said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”God said, “I am with you always.”God said, “I fight for you.”Your emotions didn’t say that.GOD said that.And if God said it, it stands forever.Sometimes the hardest part of faith is choosing God’s Word over your own emotional reactions. Your feelings say, “Go off on them.” God says, “Peace.”Your feelings say, “Handle it yourself.” God says, “Be still.”Your feelings say, “God must’ve forgotten about me.”God says, “I’m working behind the scenes.”So even if you didn’t feel His presence…Even if you were nervous or hurt…Even if your mind was all over the place…You still didn’t make the situation worse.You still didn’t step out of character.You still didn’t go against the Word of God.And guess what? That matters. Heaven sees that.God isn’t looking for perfect people — He is looking for people who choose Him even when their feelings are lying to them. That’s real faith right there. That’s maturity. That’s growth.So please stop thinking something is wrong with you because you “don’t feel God” every second. Faith is not a feeling — faith is knowing. Faith is standing on His promises when your emotions are having a meltdown in the background. Faith is saying, “Lord, I trust You,” even when your heart is shaking.Feelings come and go. God stays.Feelings shift. God is constant.Feelings confuse you. God brings clarity.Next time your emotions start lying to you, remind yourself:“My feelings are temporary. God is eternal.”And walk in peace, knowing that your Father has already gone ahead of you and taken care of everything. 💛🙏Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

Let me tell you something real, because a lot of people struggle with this and don’t even realize how much damage they’re doing to themselves. The best policy — the strongest, safest, most powerful spiritual policy you can live by — is to let God handle the fight. Not you. Not your temper. Not your emotions. Not your pride. GOD. Period.See, this is what people forget: you are human… and God is not. You have limits, weaknesses, blind spots, emotions that flip from zero to a hundred. God doesn’t. He sees the whole picture. He knows the truth behind the scenes. He understands motives, intentions, lies, jealousy, manipulation — all the things you don’t always see. And because He knows all of that, He knows exactly how to deal with the people who hurt you, betray you, disrespect you, or try to tear you down.But here’s the part that many folks miss: when you jump in and try to fight the battle yourself, you literally get in God’s way. You block what He’s trying to do. You interfere with His process. And then you wonder why the situation got messier, uglier, and more painful than it needed to be.You were never designed to fight spiritual battles in human strength. Let that sink in.God said, “Vengeance is mine.” Not yours. Not your mama’s. Not your best friend’s. HIS. That means the moment someone hurts you, the moment someone disrespects you, the moment someone lies on you or plays with your name — you are supposed to hand it over to Him. Not clap back. Not plot revenge. Not lose sleep trying to prove a point. Just hand it over and step back.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

In this post, Your Girl Renae breaks down why unforgiveness and secret hate block people from the fullness of God — and why it’s time to TAP IN for real.Let me go ahead and say something real, because a lot of people are not ready to hear this, but they need to. It is crazy — absolutely CRAZY — how people will claim they “hate” someone they do not even truly know. They catch a vibe, hear a rumor, see a moment, or witness a flaw and suddenly they’ve made up a whole story in their head about who that person is. That’s wild to me! And you know what’s even crazier? Those same people will get on their knees every night and say, “Lord, bless me. Lord, help me. Lord, do this and that in my life.” But your heart? Oh, your heart is nowhere near ready for a blessing. And that’s the part people don’t want to accept.This right here is the reason why so many people have never experienced the fullness of God. Not because God doesn’t want to bless them. Not because God doesn’t hear them. Not because God doesn’t care. But because they refuse to step into alignment with Him. You cannot ask the God of love to bless you while you’re actively choosing to walk in hate. It does not make sense spiritually, emotionally, or biblically. Yet people do it every single day.People don’t understand how serious this is. When you hold hatred in your heart — especially toward someone who hasn’t even harmed you directly, or someone who may be struggling, or someone who may be living in sin and actually needs prayer — you’re literally living outside the will of God. You’ve stepped out of His covering. You’ve stepped out of His instructions. And then you want to ask Him why your prayers haven’t been answereBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

One thing about God that people still don’t seem to get is this right here: God is not limited — YOU are. It blows my mind how we’ll believe everybody else’s word, everybody else’s opinion, everybody else’s advice… but the moment God speaks? Suddenly we “know what we’re doing.” Baby, HOW? The same God who died for your sins, you gonna stand there and tell Him you got it figured out? (Chile… make it make sense 😭)You know what frustrates me sometimes? The way folks treat God like He’s on their level. Like He’s figuring life out alongside us. Like He’s confused, stuck, or second-guessing Himself. No, sweetheart. That’s YOU. God has never been limited a day in His existence. WE are the ones walking around with fear, doubt, and “I think I know better” syndrome.People will run to a friend, a stranger online, a motivational speaker, a YouTuber, a horoscope — ANYBODY — before they will ask God. But then after all that, after listening to everybody else, we turn around and try to tell God how the situation should go. Like, “Lord, I know You said this, but I’m pretty sure I know what’s best.” Really? The creation trying to advise the Creator? 😂Let me break it down so even the stubborn hearts can feel this:God doesn’t live in your limits. You live in His grace.God doesn’t operate in your doubt. You operate under His mercy.God doesn’t need your strength. You need His just to make it through the day.And yet we still try to act like we’re the experts.The problem is not that God isn’t speaking — the problem is that people don’t like what He said. They want God to confirm their plan, not give them His. They want God to adjust to their feelings, instead of surrendering to His truth. But life does not work like that. Faith does not work like that. And spiritual growth DEFINITELY doesn’t work like that.If God tells you to move, MOVE.If God tells you to be still, SIT DOWN.If God closes a door, STOP TRYING TO KICK IT BACK OPEN.Because here’s the truth nobody wants to admit:We trust human beings more than we trust God.We trust people who can lie, people who can fail, people who can change their mind overnight — more than the One who literally gave His life so we could LIVE.And that’s the real shame.We believe everyone else… yet try to debate God.We listen to everyone else… yet try to correct God.We act like we’re in control… yet crumble every time life gets heavy.Hear me clearly:God is unlimited.God is unstoppable.God is all-knowing, all-powerful, ever-present, and forever faithful.The only thing limited in this story is us — our understanding, our strength, our plans, and our patience. That’s why we NEED Him. That’s why He leads. That’s why He saves. That’s why He died for our sins — because we didn’t have what it takes to save ourselves.Until you understand that, you'll keep trying to run your life on empty and wondering why you keep crashing.God is not limited. We are the ones who need help.And thank God He loves us enough to keep dealing with us anyway. 🙏❤️Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

In this episode, I opened my heart and talked about something God has been pressing on me for a long time: we are not perfect — and we were never supposed to be. Somehow people forget that. They forget grace. They forget mercy. And they forget that the only One who had the right to judge already took that judgment on Himself at the cross.I’m sharing why we have to stop letting people nail us to a cross that Jesus already died on. People will hold your past over your head. They will act like your mistakes are bigger than God’s mercy. They will watch you grow and still try to drag you back into who you used to be. But God is saying, “That’s not your cross to carry. I carried it already.”This episode is for anyone who’s tired of feeling like they have to defend themselves, explain themselves, or prove their worth to people who didn’t die for them. If God has already forgiven you, covered you, and lifted you — then no one has the right to keep crucifying you.Come listen as I talk about grace, healing, and letting go of the shame that people try to put on you. If you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or held to a standard nobody else can meet, this message is going to free you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

A lot of people think they know God, but they really don’t. They read, they follow the rules, they say the right things… yet their hearts are still dark, and they have no real understanding of what it means to truly know the Lord. And here’s the part most folks won’t say out loud: sometimes the ones who call themselves “righteous” end up resenting the sinner — because the sinner often knows something they don’t. The sinner knows they are loved. The sinner knows God sees them. The sinner isn’t pretending. And that’s why God meets them where they are. Because knowing God isn’t about perfection… it’s about the heart. When I sat with this message, I realized how many people walk around wearing a spiritual mask.They carry a Bible, they show up to church, they quote scripture, and they know how to look holy on the outside — but inside, their heart is far from God. There’s bitterness, jealousy, judgment, and pride sitting in the seat where love is supposed to be. They think knowing God is about checking boxes, following rules, and appearing righteous in front of others. But God has never been impressed by performance. He looks at the heart, the motives, the posture of your spirit when nobody else is watching. And yet, the very people who claim to know Him often forget the first thing God teaches us: love. They forget compassion. They forget humility. They forget that everyone is in need of grace. Instead, they look at someone who has fallen, someone who is struggling, someone who doesn’t hide their flaws — and they judge them.They distance themselves. They lift themselves up as if their rule-keeping makes them superior. But God has always favored honesty over appearance. He would rather deal with a broken sinner who says, “Lord, I need You,” than a self-proclaimed righteous person who acts like they’ve got it all figured out. That’s why in Scripture, Jesus spent more time with the sinners, the outcasts, the ones society labeled as “unworthy.” Not because they were perfect — but because they were open. They knew they needed God. They knew they didn’t have the strength to pretend. They didn’t hide their struggles behind religion. They came to Him with their real selves, their real pain, and their real hearts. And that’s what many people today still don’t understand. Knowing God isn’t about being spotless. It’s about being surrendered. It’s about being real. It’s about having a heart that says, “Lord, I love You, and I want to grow,” even when your life is messy. God honors humility. He honors sincerity. He honors truth. What’s dangerous is when someone thinks their religious actions prove they know God. They get comfortable. They get prideful. They feel entitled to judge others. But inside, they have no peace. No love. No compassion. And the truth is, that darkness in the heart is what separates a person from truly knowing the Lord — not the lack of perfection, not the struggle, not the weakness. So today’s message is a reminder: God is not looking for people who act holy. He’s looking for people who want Him. People who seek Him from the heart.People who admit their flaws and still believe they are loved. People who don’t just perform righteousness but live it through kindness, forgiveness, and humility. If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t good enough, or like someone tried to make you feel less spiritual because of your mistakes, let this message free you: God meets the honest heart before He meets the perfect performance. And true relationship with Him starts when you stop pretending and start surrendering.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

Family, I want to speak straight into somebody’s heart today, because this message is heavy in my spirit. We need to stop acting like we don’t have the greatest example right in front of us — Jesus Christ Himself. If we’re going to follow anybody’s footsteps, let it be His. Let’s go back to the moment that changed everything: the crucifixion. They didn’t just talk about Jesus.They didn’t just disrespect Him.They murdered Him — right there on the cross. He was hanging there in pain most of us couldn’t even imagine. His body was torn. His heart was hurting. The same people He came to save were the ones tearing Him down. And yet, in the middle of all of that torture, Jesus did something that shows us exactly how we are supposed to live: He said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Do you understand how powerful that is? He didn’t wait until the pain was over.He didn’t wait until people apologized.He didn’t wait for them to understand. Jesus forgave them right in the middle of the hurt.Right in the middle of the betrayal.Right in the middle of being wronged. And if He could do that… what is our excuse? If people hurt us, lie on us, backstab us, disappoint us, or break our hearts, we still have to find the strength — even if it’s shaking and messy — to say: “Lord, I forgive, even though it hurt me.” Not because the person was right.Not because the pain disappears.But because forgiveness sets YOUR soul free. 🌟 Nobody Has the Right to Count You Out — ONLY GOD DOES Let me make this loud and clear because people get real bold in church spaces: No one — not a leader, not a prophet, not a pastor, not a bishop, not a pope — has the right to decide who God accepts. That power belongs to God alone. People love to walk around acting like they hold the keys to heaven, like they can declare who is worthy and who is not. But the truth is: Only God sees the heart.Only God decides destiny.Only God says who makes it and who doesn’t. And God doesn’t count people out. So why are we letting others count us out?Why are we counting ourselves out? 🌟 If Jesus Forgave His Murderers, You Don’t Get to Disqualify Yourself Think about this carefully: Jesus forgave the very people who nailed Him to a cross.Jesus forgave the people who mocked Him and spit on Him.Jesus forgave the ones who beat Him and betrayed Him. He forgave murderers. So what makes you think your mistakes are too big for God? Most of us have never done anything close to that level of wrong. So if Jesus looked down from that cross, saw the worst sin happening right in front of Him, and STILL forgave… You are not disqualified.You are not too far gone.You are not beyond grace. If Jesus can forgive those who killed Him, you can forgive yourself for the things you’ve been carrying for years. And more importantly: God already forgave you. 🌟 Preach the Gospel, Not Condemnation Our job as believers is simple: We preach the gospel.We love people.We encourage them.We help them walk closer to Christ. We do NOT get to play judge.We do NOT get to decide who is worthy.We do NOT get to close doors God is trying to open. Only God chooses.Only God qualifies.Only God restores. And if He forgave murderers, then He sure can forgive you for the small things you’ve done. 🌟 Final Word Take notes from Jesus.Follow His example.Forgive others.Forgive yourself.And stop letting anybody — including you — say that God can’t use you. Because if Jesus forgave the ones who killed Him… Trust me, God’s grace has more than enough room for you. — Ya Girl Renae ✨❤️Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

And more importantly:God already forgave you.Our job as believers is simple:We preach the gospel.We love people.We encourage them.We help them walk closer to Christ.We do NOT get to play judge.We do NOT get to decide who is worthy.We do NOT get to close doors God is trying to open.Only God chooses.Only God qualifies.Only God restores.And if He forgave murderers, then He sure can forgive you for the small things you’ve done.Take notes from Jesus.Follow His example.Forgive others.Forgive yourself.And stop letting anybody — including you — say that God can’t use you.Because if Jesus forgave the ones who killed Him…Trust me, God’s grace has more than enough room for you.— Ya Girl Renae ✨❤️🌟 Nobody Has the Right to Count You Out — ONLY GOD DOES🌟 If Jesus Forgave His Murderers, You Don’t Get to Disqualify Yourself🌟 Preach the Gospel, Not Condemnation🌟 Final WordBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

Family, I hope you’re having a beautiful day in the Lord. Truly. Because I know some of you watch this in the morning, some at night, some in the middle of the day — but regardless of when you’re reading this, I pray God is holding you tight and keeping your mind steady. ❤️And today, I want to talk about something REAL. Something that so many of us deal with, especially during the holiday season. And if you take nothing else from this post, please take this:Stop trying to sit in rooms where God never told you to go. Stop forcing yourself into places where your spirit already told you you’re not welcome.A lot of y’all are pushing yourselves to attend gatherings, dinners, family events, and parties with people who barely tolerate you, let alone appreciate you. People who only invite you because it “looks right” or because someone else wanted you there — not because they wanted you there. And baby, that is not love. That is convenience.You do NOT have to do that to yourself anymore.We don’t beg for bread. We don’t beg for water. And we surely don’t beg for love from people who don’t even like themselves half the time. God already told you who you are — loved, chosen, worth more than rubies. So why are we still trying to prove ourselves to people who will never see us the way God sees us?Some of y’all walk into these family gatherings already feeling the heaviness. You walk in stiff. Uncomfortable. Quiet. Watching every little thing you say because you know someone at that table can’t stand you. And the whole time you’re there, your spirit is saying, Get up. Leave. You know you don’t belong here.Listen — sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is no.Not because you’re being rude. Not because you think you’re better. But because your peace matters more than sitting in a room full of people who roll their eyes when you walk out, talk about you behind your back, and pretend to pray over you when they’re really praying AGAINST you.Some of y’all know exactly what I’m talking about — those family members, those cousins, aunts, uncles, even parents… who smile in your face but got jealousy boiling in their heart. You can FEEL it. You can sense it. And you keep ignoring it because “it’s family.”But God never said to sit at a table where you are spiritually unsafe.God said love your neighbor, yes — but He didn’t say live with them, eat with them, or entertain their foolishness.And hear me: just because one person at the gathering doesn’t like you doesn’t mean you have to isolate yourself from EVERYONE. Don’t let Jezebel whisper in your ear telling you lies. Don’t let that spirit make you suspicious of everyone. If there are people who truly love you, spend time with THEM. Celebrate with THEM.But don’t sacrifice your peace trying to “prove” anything.God will sometimes use rejection to protect you.Sometimes being left out is actually God keeping you safe.Sometimes that uneasy feeling is the Holy Spirit saying, “Not this table. Not this house. Not these people.”And you better listen.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

The lights get brighter, the music gets softer, families start gathering, and everywhere you look people seem to be holding hands, smiling, or talking about love. And for many of us, that’s when the longing hits the hardest. We want love. We want connection. We want someone to hold us, appreciate us, and choose us.But on her “Bedtime Talk” podcast, Ya Girl Renae shared a truth that hit deep:Before you ever receive love from another person, you have to know and trust that you are loved by God first.This message is powerful. And for some people, it’s exactly what their heart has been needing to hear.The holiday season has a way of magnifying everything—your joy, your memories, and yes, even your loneliness. You start reflecting on who’s missing, who you lost, who walked away, or who never showed up. Social media makes it even harder because you see couples posting pictures, families laughing together, and people opening gifts with big smiles.But God wants you to understand something important:Your value is not measured by who chooses you.Your worth is not decided by who stays or who leaves.You are already loved. You were loved first by God.Ya Girl Renae explained it beautifully:Before God gives you a spouse, a relationship, a blessing, a friendship, a new opportunity, or anything valuable — He wants you grounded in His love first.Why?Because if you don’t know who you are in God…If you don’t know how loved you already are…If you don’t understand your value…Then you will attach your heart to anybody who shows you a little attention.You’ll settle for relationships that drain you.You’ll stay in situations where you’re tolerated, not valued.You’ll accept love that’s beneath what God intended for you.But when you understand that God loves you deeply, completely, and without conditions, everything changes. You stop chasing people. You stop begging for affection. You stop allowing the wrong voices to speak into your life.And you gain a peace that only comes from heaven.On the podcast, Renae reminded everyone of Isaiah 26:3 (NIV):“You will keep in perfect peacethose whose minds are steadfast,because they trust in you.”God doesn’t want your mind overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious during the holidays.He doesn’t want you on social media comparing your life to others.He doesn’t want you crying at night because someone didn’t choose you.He wants you to have perfect peace—and that peace comes when you shift your focus back to Him.People can love you, but they can’t complete you.People can care for you, but they can’t fill every empty place.People can support you, but they can’t heal the wounds you’ve been carrying.Only God can do that.And when you know God loves you, you stop looking for other people to fill the spaces only He can fill.Before you hope for a relationship…Before you wish for companionship…Before you pray for someone to hold you…Know this: You are already held.You are already seen.You are already loved — deeply, fully, and forever — by God.Let His love be the foundation.Let His peace be the covering.Let His presence be the comfort you lean on during this holiday season.Because once you know who you are in God, the right love — the healthy love — will find you in due time. And it will be a blessing, not a burden.Why We Search So Hard for Love During the HolidaysGod’s Love Comes Before Any Other BlessingPerfect Peace Starts With a Mind Stayed on GodGod’s Love Makes You Whole, Not PeopleThis Season, Choose to Rest in God’s LoveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

Today I want to share a heartfelt message inspired by Genesis 28. When Jacob called on God in his moment of fear and uncertainty, it reminded me that every believer today has the same right and the same access to God’s protection and power. This post explains why knowing the Word of God is essential and how it strengthens us to face the enemy with confidence.Today, I want to share something very important. God touched my heart, and He allowed me to spend time reading Genesis chapter 28. In particular, verse 20 stood out to me in a powerful way. This verse describes how Jacob made a vow to God, asking for His protection while Jacob was dealing with everything surrounding his situation in Haran. Jacob knew where to go when he needed help. He knew who held the power to cover him, to guide him, and to keep him safe.As I reflected on this passage, it reminded me of how we should carry ourselves in our everyday lives. We need to recognize that as believers, we must go to God to fight our battles. We need to know who to turn to when life becomes overwhelming. Every person in the Bible, when faced with trouble or danger, went directly to God because they believed—without hesitation—that God could deliver them. And He did, time and time again.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

I’m in it because my heart is with Him. And if I’ve got to be attacked for standing on His Word, then so be it, because God knows my heart and that’s what matters most.When I read Philippians chapter 1, it really hit me deep. Apostle Paul said that some people preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others do it out of goodwill. He said the ones who preach in love understand that he was put there for the defense of the gospel. But the others? They were preaching out of selfish ambition not sincerely — just trying to stir up trouble for him while he was in chains. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

I just had to share something that’s been heavy on my heart lately. God’s been reminding me — and I believe He wants to remind you too — that we’ve got to thank Him for our heavenly home. Too often, we get caught up in the things we have down here on earth — the money, the cars, the clothes, the attention, the titles — all that stuff that looks good on the outside. But truth is, none of it lasts forever. These things will perish. What’s everlasting is the love of God and the promise of our home in Heaven. 💕 That’s where true peace lives. God teaches us that it’s far better to love than to chase after what we see. And when you really think about it, loving others and walking in His light brings more joy than any material thing could ever give.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

Let’s be real — this world is full of people walking around angry, jealous, or bitter toward someone who did them wrong. But the Bible is clear: you can’t say you love God and hate your brother (1 John 4:20). That’s not just a contradiction; it’s a spiritual lie. You can’t walk in light and carry hate at the same time — those two things don’t mix. When Jesus said, “On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets” (Matthew 22:40), He meant everything God ever said depends on love — love for Him and love for others. So when you break that commandment, you break all of them.You could pray, fast, quote Scripture, and post your favorite Bible verse online, but if you’re mistreating people, God ain’t impressed.  The sad part is, some people think being “holy” means judging or cutting others down. But holiness without kindness is just hypocrisy in fancy clothes. Real holiness looks like forgiveness. Real holiness looks like mercy. Real holiness means you don’t talk about your neighbor behind their back, you pray for them. You don’t get jealous when they’re blessed — you celebrate with them.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

There’s something powerful that happens when you know deep down that God gave you a job to do. You can feel it in your spirit. You know it’s coming soon, and you’re preparing for it — not just mentally but spiritually. But then, out of nowhere, Jezebel shows up. And when I say “Jezebel,” I’m not talking about some woman in the Bible only — I’m talking about that spirit that tries to manipulate, control, and make you feel unworthy.It creeps in when you’re right at the edge of your breakthrough. That’s exactly what happened to me. God told me to go do a job, and I knew it was coming up soon. I felt ready, I felt chosen. But here comes Jezebel — whispering, “You’re not qualified,” “You’re not good enough,” “You’re gonna mess it up.” And for a moment, I almost listened. I almost believed that lie. But I stopped myself and said, No! God already said I was going to do this, so I will. See, the thing about walking with God is you can’t waver.You have to trust that His word is final. You can’t be double-minded, one day believing and the next day doubting. Because if you doubt what God said, you’re opening a door for the enemy to come in and play with your mind. When God gives you a mission, you have to walk with confidence knowing it’s already done in the spirit — you’re just living it out in the physical.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.

Let me say this real plain: stop counting people out before God has finished with them. Too many folks — especially in the church — are quick to label, quick to judge, and quick to cast out the very people God is trying to call in. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that the same grace that saved us is the same grace that can save them.When somebody walks into the house of the Lord, maybe they’re not dressed like you, maybe they’re still struggling, maybe their lifestyle doesn’t line up with your standards — but that doesn’t mean they’re not welcome at God’s table. Because guess what? It’s not your table. God said in His Word, “I have prepared a table before you in the presence of your enemies.” He’s the one who sets the table, pours the drink, and breaks the bread — and He decides who gets to sit down, not man.It hurts my heart to see how many people walk into church broken and walk back out even more broken because someone looked at them sideways, whispered about their past, or acted like they didn’t belong. But if the truth be told, every single one of us has walked into God’s presence carrying something — shame, guilt, addiction, pride, unforgiveness — something. But the beauty of grace is this: you don’t leave the same way you came.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ya-girl-renae--6604473/support.
