Mary in a Martha World • the podcast

October 15, 2020 · Leave a Comment

A few years ago, the Holy Spirit really spoke to me while studying the story of Martha and Mary. We are distracted by many things but Jesus calls us to be a Mary in a Martha world. Tune in to this podcast episode as I teach on God’s promises when we stop and listen.

The Better Thing

You see Martha was frantic when Jesus came to visit. Anxiously getting her house in order, cooking, cleaning, striving for perfection. Mary, her sister on the other hand, just wanted to be with Jesus and sit as His feet. So Martha goes and complains to Jesus, hoping he would help her out. Instead, Jesus tells her, “You are worried and upset by many things, yet only one thing is needed, Mary has chosen what is better.” But what about the meal, the tasks, the calendar, the schedule?

Only one thing is needed. It’s the better thing.”

Sweet Talking Idols

Back in the biblical day, idols referred to large golden statues like a bull or calf or other gods such as buddhas. People worshipped these instead of the one true God. The culture in scripture doesn’t really apply to us now so in our modern-day, it is easy for us believers to think,” I don’t have idols and there is nothing I worship besides Jesus.”

But if we are honest, there are other things we allow to take his place. We have our phones, technology, shopping, jobs, relationships and many other things that consume us.

Jesus promises us rest in Him. He takes care of the tasks. He fills all the voids. There is no better best friend, husband or father. He is waiting on us and doesn’t need an appointment.

Let me start out by saying that the Save America M Let me start out by saying that the Save America March was a peaceful display of unity with millions of Patriots standing together as one. No drama.  Then after President Trump left the rally at the end of the day, he encouraged us to walk over to the capital building to support our congress men and women peacefully. We all in good spirits did so. Then after some time, I look up to see a small cluster (in comparison to the entire crowd) on the Capital balconies. Then we heard chaos erupt, it may of been antifa or fed up patriots, not sure. I then knew it was time to leave and head back home.  Don’t put your trust in the media friends. That is why God calls us to discernment more now than ever.  Also, it was a highlight of my day getting to meet a couple of my favorite Freedom Fighters @davidjharrisjr @madisoncawthorn @terrencekwilliams  Keep praying that God will heal our land and trust him alone. God is bigger than our fears and the enemy. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

N E W Y E A R // As I was praying for God’s cla N E W  Y E A R // As I was praying for God’s clarity as we start the new year, he made his hearts desire clear.  DRAW NEAR TO ME.  You see friends, so many voices are trying to convince us how to think. So many emotions are flaring up. But it’s the intimacy that brings clarity, discernment, peace and the uncompromising boldness that we need now more than ever. Without it we will be deceived and easily shaken.  Truth is brought to light in adversity. God is revealing who is choosing fear of man vs. fear of God. He’s calling us forth for such a time as this.  He is searching for a holy people, humble, set apart and uncompromising with pure hearts. We must draw near to him so we can become like him.  I want to be a carrier of his presence to a world in need of hope.  More bible, less books.
More prayer, less social media.
More refinement, less compromise.
Less of me, more of you Jesus.  Happy New Year! Your best days are ahead. 🎉💙

His goodness shines bright even in dark storms and every season has its purpose.  Nothing is wasted.
