EPIC CONQUERORS PODCAST:

Turning defeat into a WIN - Episode 2

You already have everything you need.

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. Psalm 23:1

The famous king and poet, David, wrote this lyric as a man acquainted with pain. David was told from a young age that he would be king. Nothing pointed to that promise coming true for years. In fact, the sitting king hated his guts and chased him around the wilderness, trying to kill him.

David understood that even when he had nothing, and was on the run with his life in the balance, he already had what he needed. He learned to trust that the Lord was his shepherd, provider, protector... even when circumstances were at their worst.

It seems the bigger the promise, the greater the pain on the journey. The secret is believing along the way, “the Lord is my shepherd, I already have what I need.”

 

The journey of faith insists upon rest.

He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful streams. He rene...

Turning defeat into a WIN - Episode 1

"Defeat is temporal, but only if you do something about it."

Defeated means: (a) Having been defeated in a battle or contest. “The defeated army” Yep, that’s right. It means you lost; you have been beaten; victory was not yours.

I don’t know anyone that likes to lose. It’s not a nice feeling. It gets you down, it makes you miserable and can even make you depressed. But defeat is part of life. We all experience defeat at some stage in our lives. Individuals, teams, organizations, armies, governments and even entire nations know defeat. We see it in news headlines, on television, we read it on social media.

But we also read it in the Bible. Yep, defeat is in the Bible! It’s not created by man or the devil. God uses it in His greater plan for us. Sometimes we need defeat to bring us to our knees. Sometimes we need defeat to realize that we are out of God’s will. Sometimes it's through our own doings, our own

OVERCOMING TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS - EPISODE 8

In His presence the stench of the world is replaced with the perfume of His presence

Ah, yes. Toxic people, toxic circumstances and toxic language abound in our polluted world. Thank God we are not of it, but we still live in it until it's time to graduate to GLORY. So, what can we do with all the toxic things that try to smell up our lives on a daily basis?

Let's talk about toxic people.
1. Recognize that's what they are. (That's not judging incorrectly...by their fruit you shall know them). Sadly, even some Christians are carnal and therefore toxic.
2. Detach emotionally from them. Put them at arm's length in your mind and heart.
3. Forgive them for their toxic behavior towards you. Bless them in the name of the Lord and move on and away from them, if at all possible.

What about toxic circumstances:
1. If you're in a family situation get outside counsel and help. That's not weakness, that's wisdom and stren...

OVERCOMING TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS - EPISODE 7

We've been given the job to manage the garden of our life

My mother always told us kids when we came in to point the finger at one of our siblings for their misdeeds that there were three fingers pointing back to us.

In other words, I'd like to share the idea that in order to overcome toxic relationships, instead of focusing on what others are doing, we first take a look at ourselves.

Could it be that we are toxic to ourselves? Let's consider:

1. What kind of inner thoughts and mutterings do you have concerning yourself?

1. Do you speak unkindly about yourself to yourself?
2. Do you criticize yourself when you mess up?
3. Do you constantly say, "Sorry" or take the blame when you did no wrong?

2. What kind of sabotaging do you do to your own dreams, desires and goals?

1. Do you even allow yourself to have them?
2. Do you give yourself permission to put them as a priority?
3. Do you make promises to yourself...

OVERCOMING TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS - EPISODE 6

There is a wonderful promise of overcoming when we are yoked with Jesus!

A Yoke – a wooden crosspiece that is fastened over the necks of two animals and attached to the plough or cart that they are to pull. See image:

When the animals are not of equal size, strength and temperament, the work load does not flow, it may take longer to complete the task and both suffer pain and sores and overall illness.

In Matthew 11: 28-30 Jesus tells us to “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

What a wonderful promise of overcoming when we are yoked with Jesus!
I believe that because of this wonderful promise we are able to find and value other relationships in our lives.

Relationships that carry life’s load, that empower an...
