#12: The way we view our earthly father or earthly mother and our earthly siblings can directly influence the way that we view the Trinity. On today's episode, we have a special guest, Karen Hauck, and she will be sharing with us how our earthly family relationships can directly influence our relationships with our Heavenly Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is a very dynamic conversation that we have, and I'm really joy filled to share it with you.

Key Takeaways:

• Sometimes we hit these walls and we're not moving forward, or the same patterns are getting repeated. It's important for us to have the perception of how God sees what's going on in our lives versus how we see it.
• When we get saved, we come into the Kingdom and we accept that our lives are a mess and we need somebody other than ourselves to run it. The Holy Spirit comes and He takes residence inside of us. It begins this journey of an identity as a son or a daughter.
• God has a plan for us and we become Ambassadors. We have a specific role to be releasing the Kingdom of God on the earth.
• Romans 12:2 TPT "Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God's will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes."
• God is never silent. His biggest joy is to interact with us.
• Fear will always agree with you when you're negative about yourself. Fear is never going to be the voice or the spirit because it is an actual spirit that says, good job, way to go. I love how you're doing that.
• Fear, anxiety, worry, all those things become, we don't mean to do it, but they get built up and they also block us from God.
• It was never God's intent to punish us. His only intent has always been to love us and to bring us close.

Heavenly Position Guidance Challenge:

For this week’s HPS Challenge, take out your journal and spend at least 15 minutes in a quiet space if possible. Marinate on what Karen shared and start to write down what you felt like the Holy Spirit was saying to you during this interview and if there was anything that you felt God was speaking to you.

In this episode we talked about things that block us from hearing from God. Write those things down that you think might be blocking you from hearing God and go to Him and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He is, as Karen was saying, always wanting to communicate with us. And there's so many ways that he can communicate with us. But take this time now to connect with your Father.
