We have more access to sermons, teachers, books and Christian content than ever before.

But are we still reading the Word for ourselves?

In this episode, I’m challenging you to examine some of the phrases, teachings and beliefs you’ve accepted as biblical and test them against what the Bible actually says.

• How many things do you say or believe are Scripture when they are actually someone else’s interpretation?
• Could mixing Old Covenant and New Covenant teaching be creating confusion in the way you understand God and His Word?
• What happens when Scripture is taken out of context and used to control, manipulate or place demands on people that God never intended?
• Have you ever discovered that something you believed for years wasn’t actually what the Bible said?
• Are you willing to question familiar Christian language and go back to the Word to see what God actually said?

We cannot use error to correct error.

The entrance of God's Word brings light. So rather than relying only on what you have heard from a preacher, teacher, book or another person, go back to Scripture for yourself.

What Next?

• Write down some of the phrases you regularly use in prayer or conversation that you believe come from Scripture.
• Search the Bible and see what the Word actually says.
• Ask God what He intended when He said it and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into truth.
• Share this episode with someone who needs the reminder to get back to the Word.

• 1 Timothy 6:10 — the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil

Have you ever found yourself in prayer just describing the situation to God, repeating yourself over and over, listing all the problems as if He doesn’t already know?

That was me recently until the Holy Spirit lovingly reminded me that how I was praying - if you can call it that - wasn't going to get me the answer I was looking for.

In this comeback episode of the podcast, we're Flipping the Script on the lies we tell ourselves. I'm taking 10 common lies we tell ourselves and replacing them with the truth of God’s Word.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why describing your problems in prayer keeps you stuck, and why declaring God’s promises brings answered prayers
• How God redeems and restores lost time (Joel 2:25)
• How to conquer overwhelm when you feel there is too much to do and you can’t do it alone
• How God weaves your past mistakes into your calling instead of editing you out of what He's called you to do (Romans 8:28)
• The critical difference between Holy Spirit conviction and the enemy’s condemnation
• A fresh, New Covenant perspective on cheerful generosity versus giving out of fear, guilt, or obligation
• Why you shouldn’t feel like an imposter

I hope you take one or two of these scripts today, personalize them, and boldly declare what God says about your life and purpose!

• Joel 2:25 – God redeems and restores the years the locusts have eaten
• Matthew 11:28–30 – Taking on Christ’s light yoke and easy burden
• 2 Corinthians 12:9 – Grace made perfect in our weakness
• Romans 8:28 – All things working together for good
• Romans 8:1 – No condemnation in Christ Jesus

Declare With Me

Pick up your Bible and declare with me:

“Father God, I thank You that I am the head and not the tail. I am above and not below. I bless Your holy name that You have given me all things to enjoy. Your Word is true, Your promises are mine, and I receive Your grace and Your words of life today, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!”

Have you ever needed reassurance from God - not because you stopped believing, but because you had a heavy heart?

In this episode, I share a personal moment where I asked God for a simple sign - a rainbow - and what happened next reminded me of His covenant faithfulness.

• Why asking God for reassurance isn’t the same as living in unbelief
• The biblical meaning of the rainbow as a covenant sign (Genesis 9:13–16)
• How Psalm 34:15 and 1 John 5:14 anchor us in confidence
• The difference between performance prayer and presence prayer
• The importance of seeing from God’s perspective, not just your circumstance

When I asked God for a sign, I wasn't testing God. I just needed something to hold on to whilst waiting for the full manifestation of His goodness. God did not disappoint.

Scriptures Mentioned

• Genesis 9:13–16
• Psalm 34:15
• 1 John 5:14
• Lamentations 3:22–23
• 2 Timothy 2:13
• Mark 4:28 (first the blade, then the ear)

Let Me Ask You:

Where do you need reassurance right now?

Stay in the Word.
Keep His promises on your lips.
Choose presence over performance.

If this episode encouraged you, share it with a woman who needs to remember that God is faithful - and that the manifestation is coming.
