#18: On today’s episode, we are doing a little listener Q&A. I’ll discuss practical ways to center on Jesus for a rested & refreshed spirit, how to embrace a new season and why and how I start calling God Poppy.  I’m also going to share a new mini-series we will be doing for the rest of the month of May.

Key Takeaways:

• When you need guidance, always consult Holy Spirit first.
• I can give you tips all day long but those are things that worked for me. What works for me might not work for you.
• Ask God and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the answers, whether it is through journaling, through his word, through confirmation from a brother or sister in the Lord, nature, prayer, however you communicate with God.
• When questioning whether you are hearing from God, is it loving or condemning? Does it align with God’s word? Does it align with God’s character?
• God has many different names and here are just a few: Adonai, El Roi, El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Shalom, Yahweh, and LORD.
• Trust God and always remember He is your source. Everything else is a resource.
• If He is bringing you into a new season, He will equip you with what you need right when you need it.
• Marking the ending of one season helps us with the future seasons. Also by marking the end of a season, it gives us something to look back on and celebrate all God has done in our lives and how far he has brought us.

Heavenly Position Guidance Challenge:

For this week’s HPS Challenge, Take this time to gather your journal and find a quiet place if possible. For the next 15 minutes answer the questions that came in for yourself:

What practical things can I do to intentionally center on Jesus in order to maintain a rested, refreshed spirit?

What ways can I embrace a new season and leave my comfort zone - whether it is family, work, business etc.

What would it mean for our relationship to call God by another name?

Go as deep as you want with him. It is so fun to go down what I call rabbit holes with him and follow where he leads you.
