So this review comes from our homegirl, Sabrina, and she says, good morning, Imoya. I have been tuning in on and off for about a year now. I stumbled across your podcast during a very trying time in my life. Watching your podcast has renewed my faith and made me see things differently. Instead of why me God with a question mark It's yes God use me Use me for your glory God He's so strategic in the way he moves My confidence is in him And he has restored me in ways I can't even explain So thank you for your contribution We are locked in Amen Amen homegirl You already know baby We are locked in for sure Thank you so much For this amazing review And it's not even just like your typical review But I do thank you for sharing your heart And I thank you for just leaving these words I love to see it I love to see how Girl Just Heal is impacting you How God is using me to impact you It encourages me to keep going So thank you so much again To our homegirl Sabrina for leaving this comment I look forward to continuing to heal, grow And evolve together So y'all already know baby it is time for the most favorite part of the episode it's time for the what it is time for the prayer cards prayer cards it is time for the prayer cards prayer cards eight eight prayer cards prayer cards eight eight eight eight it's time for the prayer cards y'all and let me just tell y'all I went on Instagram live not too long ago and the homegirls had me singing a prayer card jingle and I ain't even going to Instagram laughing at it, but y'all love the jingle and I'm going to hit it wherever I'm at, whatever I'm doing. I'm a hit it for y'all. All right. So our scripture today comes from Psalm chapter 34, verse 14. And it says, turn from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it. A moment of silence for the word. It says, turn from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it That last line baby Seek peace Don't just long for peace Don't just long for your life to look different Seek it and pursue it That's a word Oh my goodness And this is going to get me stirred up And this is not even what I plan to talk about It says seek peace and pursue it Baby listen Not only peace And I know this scripture It's talking about seeking peace and pursuing it But whatever it is that you are seeking after You have to pursue that And y'all know we are about to go into a faith series Here on the podcast And baby let me just tell you If you want your faith to be strong You have to seek faith But you have to pursue that If you want to be able to trust in God more You have to seek Him And then you have to pursue Him Like you can't just seek to believe in God more or to trust in God more. And then you don't do anything else. You just praying like, Lord, help me to trust in you more. But then you're not opening your word and you're not reading and encouraging yourself in the Lord and seeing, OK, how can I trust in the Lord more? What does the Bible tell me about trusting in the Lord more? Like what scriptures can I use to help me trust in the Lord more? That's how you pursue it. My God bookmarked this Psalm chapter 34, verse 14. It says turn from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it. And we're going to get off of that. I want to come back to this, but we're going to get off of that right now. All right, y'all. So let go ahead and get into this episode because what I want to talk about is something that I feel like is going to like all of these episodes these past couple of weeks have been leading us into our faith series that we are about to start But this episode in particular is crazy because what I about to tell y this situation actually happened to me before I was like, okay, God, like it's confirmation. I need to start this faith series. And I didn't understand, like it was just a word through a situation that happened to me and I didn't even think that it was going to align with anything else that was going on in my life okay but it actually started aligning with faith and with building faith and with having faith and with what faith looks like and so I had to write it down because I didn't want to forget it the day that it happened I'm like because so often and I'm just telling y'all this so we're getting to it but so often I'll get a word and I forget to write it down and if I don't write it down I will forget it and sometimes I'll be like Lord just help that stay in my mind no and I want to encourage you with that if you get a word of encouragement or just whatever if you get something to drop in your spirit be quick okay be quick to write that down grab your phone and just make a mental note if you gotta text it to somebody if you gotta put a note in your phone if you gotta add it to your calendar whatever you gotta do just write that down jot it down really quick so that you don't forget it so let's just get into it all right y'all so yeah I already know it's kind of like a story time and this episode is going to lead us straight into our faith series so I want y'all to just you know just get ready we are gearing up to go into this faith series and I want to make sure that I'm putting so much faith content in front of you all because when we go into this faith series, we are about to hit it hard. All right. So I was leaving from seeing my daughter. It was a long day in the NICU. And this was just a couple of days ago. It was a very long day in the NICU. And so I'm leaving from seeing my daughter. I feel a little defeated. You know, I feel a little overwhelmed. I just have a slew of emotions that are happening and that are going on. And so I'm just like, Lord, I need comfort, you know, and it's just a prayer that I said, And I wasn't really in a deep prayer. I just was like, Lord, I really need comfort. I really need you to come through and to help me. And it's just something that I say so often that I don't when I say it out loud, like I don't just sit and meditate on it and think about it. Like I'm like, OK, like, God, this is what I need. And I'm just hoping and praying that you're going to come through for me. So I get in the elevator and the moment I get in the elevator, I press the floor that I needed to go to. But then I just leaned up against the wall of the elevator. Now, when I did this immediately, I'm talking about immediately. I wasn't even looking for God to speak to me in that moment. Like I wasn't because I wasn't having a good day. And I'm not saying God can't speak to me when I'm not having a good day. But I just I wanted to go and I wanted to relax. I wanted to go and I wanted to exhale. Like I wasn't looking for anything but the exit because I was ready to go. And so I leaned up against this wall and I wrote down. I wrote down what the spirit said to me because I want to repeat this word for word. God said to me, if you trust this wall to hold you up, then why is it so hard for you to trust me to do the same thing for you? Aren't I much stronger than this wall? okay listen okay listen to me I don't know if y'all heard me when I tell you God said and it was just like I promise you he could have just been standing right next to me and in that moment it's like I let down every single thing that was heavy on me and all I could do I started crying but all I could do was like just exhale and I put my phone up okay like I put my phone up after I wrote this down because in that moment I felt convicted and the reason I felt convicted is because I felt like with the situations that had been happening and how the NICU days have been a little harder on me and I have faith in God like I have total faith in him but I felt convicted because I feel like my faith has probably been wavering in spaces and in spots where I didn't even know that it was wavering and I felt like this was God's way of letting me know like your faith yes you have faith in me but Nimoyah your faith is wavering in some ways because why else would God bring this up and tell me I ain't I much stronger aren't I much stronger than this wall you trust this wall to hold you up you trust this wall that if you lean on this wall you ain't going nowhere this wall is gonna hold you up this wall is going to support you this wall is gonna make sure that you do not fall. So you have so much trust in this wall to hold you up. Why is it so hard for you to trust me to hold you up when you are traveling through these hard times, when you are traveling through these difficult moments in your life? God is saying, why is it so hard for you to trust me to hold you up? You'll trust everything around you. You'll trust everybody else around you. But when it comes to God holding you up, you have a problem with trusting God. Your face starts wavering a little bit because God, I really believe you will do it. I trust that you're going to do it. But God, you ain't did it yet. That butt is going to get us in trouble every single time. Either you trust God to do it or you don't trust God to do it. When I got on that elevator, it was I never said, oh, I'm going to lean on this wall. But I don't know if this wall is going to hold me up. I trusted that that wall will hold me up and it was just second nature. It was just something I did something I normally do if I'm having a bad day or if I just need to release or I'm just tired. I'm just exhausted. I just go lean on a wall or a door or if you ever just went by a chair and just set your hand on the chair You trust all of these things to support you Jesus you trust all of these things to hold you up You trust all of these things not to fail you but the one who has never failed you in your life My God, why is it so hard for you to trust him 100 percent? Why is it so hard for you to trust him to hold you up in your darkest moments and those toughest moments that you are dealing with? why is it so hard for you to trust in him? And I hear you because a lot of times we say, but I do trust in God. I do have faith in God. And that's me. Like I trust in God. I cannot even, I can't even formulate words to just let you know how much I trust in God, no matter what it is I've been through in life, no matter what it is I'm going to go through. I trust in God so much. And I have so much faith in God. And even though I have so much faith in God, I feel like God is just showing me that somewhere unintentionally, my faith is wavering a little bit. My faith is a little shaky just because of how my situations are looking, just because of the things that I go through, the dark moments that I deal with, the feelings and emotions that I deal with and the things I experience on a day-to-day basis. Like God is showing me that, Hey, yes, you have faith in me and I admire your faith. God is like, I see your faith. God said, I see you. I see how much you trust in me. I see how much you believe in me. I see how much you cling to me. God is saying, as he's saying, but it's some areas in your life where your faith is not as strong as you think that your faith is. And sometimes we think that we doing all the right things. We think that our faith is in the golden position. We think that our faith is locked in, baby. I'm so locked in with my faith that I trust God. But the moment something goes wrong, our faith starts wavering, our faith starts shaking. And we start saying things like, I trusted God to do this, but why does my situation look like this? Like, God, why did you send me through this? God, when is it going to be my time? And we've all said it. Okay. Me, I can raise both hands. We've all said it. We've all said things like that. We've all thought things like that. Even if you haven't said it out loud, we've all experienced having moments like that where we just wondering like, Lord, like I do have faith in you. I do trust in you. But baby, sometimes our faith is wavering and we don't even know it. Sometimes our faith is shaky and we don't even know it. And I feel like that's why God gave me this word. And like I said, this ties in so good with the faith series, because at that time I didn't even know that God was going to give me this word. God said, if you trust that wall to hold you up, why is it so hard for you to trust me to do that same thing for you? And then God asked me the question. He said, aren't I stronger? Aren't I much stronger than that wall my God I need y'all to just let that marinate I need you to let that marinate and I need you to just understand because this is just on me so heavy how we trust in so many other things and you don't even have to type out what you trust in more than you trust in God you know you know how your faith walk is looking You know how your faith journey has been going. You know the areas in your life where you have maybe trusted in your mom and them more than you've trusted in God. Or you've trusted in the support of other people more than you have trusted in God. You know those areas in your life. And we all have those areas in our lives where we are trusted in something else more than we are trusted in the God who has never failed us. The God who has brought us out of situations Time and time and time again The God who has delivered us The God who has provided for us The God who doesn't go missing on us My God, the God who loves us unconditionally The God who is graceful with us The God who is merciful with us The God who loves us in spite of everything we've done The God whose love is not attached to conditions My God, the God who has unconditional love for us, even on the days where we don't even love him like we should love him, even on the days where we don't consult him and we don't believe in him and we don't trust him how we should. He still show up that God. That's the God I'm talking about. That's the God that we sometimes put on the back burner. That's the God that we sometimes let our faith waver just a little bit Because he is not moving how we want him to move When we want him to move And it's so much easier for you to just go to somebody else And they give you a solution than for you to wait Sit down and wait for God to give you the solution Sit down and wait for him to come through In whatever area of your life A quick fix is not always the answer You may be satisfied for a little bit It may happen instantly. You may think that, okay, this feels real good. I like where I met right now and I can do this more often. But then in the long run, when that cannot sustain you, then you run back to the one who was going to work it out anyway with longevity attached to it, with something that will sustain you for years and years and generations and generations to come. My God, we have to have our faith in him. We have to trust in him more than we trust in the people, the places, the things, the situations that surround us every single day. And I want you to take inventory. I want you to go and just look over your life and see what are you trusting in more than you are trusting in God? What situation are you trusting in more than you're trusting in him? What person in your life? Let's start with that. What person in your life are you trusting in more than you are trusting in God? And I going to need for you to think about that And then I going to need for you to put that person back in their place where they don need to be above God Okay Rule number one nobody above God God is number one in your life He should always be number one in your life So if you got somebody that you're trusted in more than God, then that means God is not number one in your life. And you got to go back and you got to reevaluate. You got to rearrange some things in your life. You got to recategorize some people in your life because you are putting people in places where they do not belong. What situations are you trusting in More than you're trusting in God What things are you trusting in More than you're trusting in God And I want you to take inventory So that's it for this episode Y'all let me tell y'all this word And I don't just feel uneasy But I feel like this word Even with me going over this And bringing this up again I just feel like it's so It's on me heavy but not in a bad way. But it really was a reality check because not only am I encouraging you to do inventory, I'm going to go back and do inventory myself. And my mind is really over here like going. My mind is really racing because I'm trying to record this episode and I'm trying to do inventory at the same time. And it's not intentional that I'm trying to do inventory. But as I'm saying this, I'm thinking like I need to go back and take inventory because what am I trusting in more than I'm trusting in God. My goodness. Like that is a word of conviction. That is a listen. That word has convicted me tonight because what am I trusting in more than I'm trusting in God? Who am I trusting in more than I'm trusting in him? My goodness. My goodness. That word, that word. So I'm going to take inventory myself. Not only am I asking you and encouraging you to take inventory and just make sure that you're not trusting in anybody or anything more than you are trusted in God. Because if you trust in that thing or that person to hold you up, what more can your God do? And he's stronger than anybody. He's stronger than anything, any stronghold, any weakness. He's stronger than that. Any habit, God is stronger than that. So why wouldn't we trust him to support us and to hold us up in those moments that are so challenging, in those dark moments, in those times where it doesn't look like things are going to pan out exactly how you thought they were going to pan out. You don't see a way out. You don't see an open door in those moments. Why wouldn't we trust a God who is stronger, who is mightier, Who can save us from danger seen and unseen my god This is definitely a word of conviction so I love y'all homegirls And i'm gonna sit with this word and I encourage you to do the same sit with this word We are just making our way Right into this faith series And I know that we are going to hit the ground running We are going to this faith series baby. Let me tell you something the way God has been working on me with this series if you tuned in for the when home girls pray series then you know this series is about to be lit because that when home girls pray series God really did his big one with that one and I know this one is going to be even better because how heavy this has been on me and the things God has just been revealing the things God has been doing this faith series is about to take us deeper in Christ and it's about to take us deeper just deeper spiritually on a whole new level so i encourage you if you haven't been tapped into the girl just hill podcast i need you to lock in our home girl from the home girl review earlier she said we locked in so i need all y'all to be locked in and also share this out share this out with your favorite home girl share this out with your sisters and aunties and uncles and cousins and and brothers and nieces nephews share this out because not only is this where y'all know the homegirls we locked in but this word ain't just for us okay we we can share it with the homeboys as well so y'all just share this out share girl just heal with anybody in your life who you feel like hey they may need this word they may need this encouragement they may need this community they may need this support i love y'all so much that's it for this episode y'all know how we're gonna close it out we are gonna close out this episode with the girl just held mantra but before we close it out we're gonna take a deep breath in and out my lord and that is just us releasing all of the cares of today yesterday last month last week this month this week anything that's come up to hinder us or trigger us we're releasing it off of us we're throwing it away we're casting it aside and we are going to repeat the girl just held mantra together.
