child of God

Welcome and Happy New Year Everyone!

The child of God podcast is starting off the new year, with something special. We haven't had guests on the podcast for a very long time, and so Alaysia Newhouse and Ashley Nichele Brown, Author of "Tug of War" is joining us to discuss "Becoming a woman of God."

The Holy Spirit led us to discuss Lydia, and so we hope you enjoy this live bible study, as we dissect the traits, and evidence of God in Lydia's life as well as our own.

Bringing in the New Year with Season 5 of the Child of God Podcast.

A podcast founded on faith in Jesus Christ, biblical truths, and humility. We are called to be as children in the kingdom, filled with faith, humility and representative of the first fruits of our Heavenly Father's creation. Our Identity is in Christ, and we are disciples of Jesus Christ.

John 1:12 "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God".

Matthew 18:2-5 "He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me."

Since, we are children of God, Who exactly is Our Heavenly Father? He is who He says He is. So let’s discover:

“Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be your name.”

How should I address sin, If I am tempted to sin, what should I do? We will all be tempted, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a choice to sin or not.

We are in Hebrews 12 today!

‘Even in a test, there is always the temptation to cheat’ -child of God Podcast

How to resist Temptation? Run, flee from it.

How do I run from temptation?
- Proactive Prayer
-Read the word.
-Hold Thoughts Captive, Do not even take time to consider it.

-Ask God for Strength

What does it mean to be a child of God? To accept the pruning, and his chastening. The word discipline shows up in the bible 100 times, and the word disciple shows up in the bible 261 times.

Scripture:
*Hebrew 12:4-13*
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, '“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[a]

*prayer request* Can I help carry your burdens, can I pray for/with you? (Galatians 6:2)
