This episode we will talk about one last attempt of the enemy to overpower us. The weakest point. 

In this episode, we continue our conversation on how the enemy works to dissuade us from the path. He keeps us silent and in the dark. Who do we talk to when we find ourselves in spiritual turmoil?

If you are heavy laden and need to give the Lord your anxieties come and dwell with us for a time of prayer and intercession. Here is the live recording of the prayer Livestream on 04.04.26. In God's time there is no time. Enter in.

In this episode we look at what desolation is; the opposite of consolation. God does not cause desolation He allows it. We look at spiritual versus non-spiritual desolation and the difference between desolation and clinical depression.   Fr. Timothy Gallagher “The Discernment of Spirits: An Ignatian Guide for Everyday Living”  https://share.google/xAgkLPx2kMy1refuY (an article on desolation vs depression) How to Trust God When It’s Hard https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=buZ6xyeOugk&si=uo9VXI4id49mRzeA John and Stephanie Burke at Divine Intimacy Radio C.S.

How does God move us and encourage us when we are growing in virtue? In this episode on part two of rule two and also rule three, we look at what spiritual consolation is and what the difference is with natural non-spiritual consolation and God-given spiritual consolation. We look at how to discern between the areas of awareness to cultivate peace and happiness and how to move with God and when it is Him moving or if it's the Enemy. Resources: Fr. Timothy Gallagher “The Discernment of Spirits: An Ignatian Guide for Everyday Living”  St. Padre Pio: “The Spirit of God is a spirit of peace. Even in the most serious faults he makes us feel a sorrow that is tranquil, humble, and confident, and this is precisely because of his mercy. The spirit of the devil, instead, excites, exasperates, and makes us feel, in that very sorrow, anger against ourselves, whereas we should on the contrary be charitable with ourselves first and foremost. Therefore if any thought agitates you, this agitation never comes from God, who gives you peace, being the Spirit of Peace, but from the devil.” St. Augustine Book VIII of his autobiographical work, Confessions: It was as if the virtue of continence was saying to him, “Can you not do what these men and women do? Do you think they find the strength to do it in themselves and not in the Lord their God? … Why do you try to stand in your own strength and fail?...Cast yourself upon God and have no fear. He will not shrink away and let you fall. Cast yourself upon him without fear, for he will welcome you and cure you of your ills.” Ezra 9:8-9  Zechariah 2:5 Job 22:21-23

In this episode we took a look at Rule 2 when a person is moving toward God. What does the enemy do to keep us from growing in virtue? He steals our peace. He bites with whatever obstacle he can. What do we do when we find ourselves discouraged and down? Be Aware. We discuss the needs of a composite being and learn what the concept of discernment is.  Resources https://youtu.be/qX3tc6jgJjk?si=-U_ZePeUNuuJKY5v Fr.

In this episode we look at the characteristics of motherhood and how we have to put on our big girl panties and be an example for our children. We carry the weight of the world and the world needs our light. The Scripture Study is from the 2nd book of Maccabees with the unnamed woman and her seven sons.

This is a study on the charm and radiance of a woman's beauty. We look at Samson and Delilah in this episode and his parents and how to apply charm balanced with firmness.

We take a look at Emotional Health and how if it is not in harmony we reap the fruits. Our Scripture study is with Ruth and Naomi.

We need to let God deliver us and act in freedom and not blame others for our own behavior. Let’s look at Moses’ Mother and other female characters in the beginning of Exodus. This book is full of this truth. God has to bring the Chosen from slavery to freedom. God shows his anointed that he was reliable and trustworthy providing for their needs. When they fell away, He called them back and journeyed with them.

Dwelling in the Presence of God is at the heart of Prayer. Just being with Him. In this episode we take a look at what intercession is and how God fills us with the grace to be His children and how to abide in Him. Our life becomes an offering both in death and Resurrection. This is not an easy road but a battle.

We look at the different forms of prayer and learn what God teaches us in applying them in our lives. Our prayer becomes a fragrance before the Lord and we know that His hand guides and guards us. By listening to His voice, we are given authority and dominion and discover the heart as the place of encounter where God dwells.

This episode is part one on prayer. This is a foundation for getting into more specifics. We lay out the groundwork for what it means to have a conversation with God and how to carry out His wishes. The Holy Spirit forms our prayer and teaches us how to walk.

We look at the stepping stones of faith when God calls out to us to follow a path. Faith is Man's response to God's revelation and is closely tied to works in a delicate marriage. In this episode, we take a look at some practical things to keep in mind when we are discerning what God is calling us to.

It is hard to know what to do in a day especially when we are fatigued and have no energy or are in a dark hole. It is then that we have a decision to make, will we stay there or keep to the path and be faithful to our post? In this episode, we look at some biblical background to enlighten our intellect so we can make better informed decisions based on God's Will and also some practical steps to take when we are right in the thick of it.

In this episode we talk about finding the Presence of God in our lives. We find that our hearts have a hole that needs filling. Either we fill our heart with things, which leaves us feeling empty, or we are filled with God which revitalizes and renews us. Presence has a purpose. It is to bring our heart to a place of conversion and repentance. To bring about a movement toward God. We also look at two aspects brought about from encountering presence; contemplation and service.

In this episode, we explore how to live from a place of security and Belonging in the Lord. Michelle gets really real in sharing her journey and how God is working.

This relationship is so important and vital for finding the desires of our heart and weeding out ourselves.We have a purpose and God does have a plan. How do we find this? Spending time in prayer. Just in normal conversation. God always invites us closer. Contact her at; Michelle Oie Ministries www.michelleoie.com www.facebook.com/michelleoie

This episode talks about what to do in relationships when one encounters conflict. This is inevitable. We are weak and fallen. What do we do here? Six recommendations are given as well as a Bible story to showcase what God can do if we let Him into our conflict. He gives us heavenly assistance with the angels and saints when we face our enemies with peace and contrition and humility.

We look at the complenmentary nature of Women and Men. The woman is to stand in compassion next to her man. She suffers with him. Under his mission and Inviting him to be in her life the leader, lord, and lover, respecting his role of authority. She Listens. She accopanies, invites, holds, and works with him in a partnership of grace. The woman needs stillness to ponder and grow and the humility to let grace work above her own selfish desires and emotions putting God first. We look to Mary as our model.

Here we take a look at how men and women are different in their roles of belonging and authority. Man and Woman are different right down to the wiring. We examine these differences and take a look at how a man is to lead and pour himself out. We also follow the different qualities of a holy man seeking to pattern his life off of scripture.

In this episode we explore the wonder of God's great love. Romans 8:38 Takes us to the basis of our lives. That we have found the strength to conquer through love. His Love. We find that our peace lies in putting our trust in Him and not in the vain philosophies of the world but in dying to ourselves joined with Jesus.

We Take a look at the overview of Season Two. How God Establishes His Authority and how out of His overflowing love we receive. We belong. His Heart is very open to us and He waits for us to respond in love and follow Him.

In this episode, we discover God's loving presence that is over us. We find that He directs all things for our good. He calls us to follow Him. He opens his hands lovingly to us in an invitation to accept His love and Mercy. After a mountain top experience, we enter great tumult to test our faith. God is present and shows us he is still there patiently waiting for us to come to Him and carry the burden and the suffering with us as well as the joys.

In this episode, we discover how God takes us through dryness to encounter Him and gives us endurance so we can do His will. We learn about the levels of love and the difference between perfectionism and a simple act of love to be more like Him.

We explore with Francis from the Hallow App the connection between mental health and prayer in growing closer to the Father and healing Father wounds. We learn how to draw close to the Father and grow our relationship through prayer. He gives us some good practical steps in finding God.

In this episode we look at mountains and valleys in the spiritual life and how to navigate them. Abraham our Father in Faith shows us that trusting in God is the key to progress in this journey. Peter shows us how we would like to keep the good moments here in the Transfiguration. We can but not in the way he proposes. Good moments are to strengthen us for the difficult times where we must remember the mountaintop.

We look at following the will of God in obedience versus making a name for ourselves in our own effort. This organically forms community around prayer and work and brotherly love. The Good Shepherd leads us for we know His voice. Anyone else who is not following the voice of the shepherd is a thief and the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.
