Address The Idols, Where There is Temptation There Is An Option for Obedience
Manage episode 433004629 series 3585630
In this episode Carolyn is battling the aftermath of being told by the Holy Spirit to turn down the opportunity for more money within a career promotion. Carolyn has made so many sacrifices and prayed to get to where she is and God has blessed her in the things she has prayed for.
When God answers this one prayer about a career opportunity and Carolyn actually gains this opportunity, the Lord then tells her “no, turn away from your fleshly desires of money, turn away from your self righteousness”.
We all have desired things of this world. Be it money, material things, etc. While sharing this experience with the world Carolyn is growing her relationship with Christ. We ask that you show her some grace as she is imperfect and sharing her imperfections with the world with hopes that you will be inspired to trust our Lord and Savior along your own journey.
Idolatry isn’t talked about enough in the journey of following Christ. All of your worldly ways don’t just “fall away” or disappear because you decided to give your life to Christ. The process is much like peeling an onion and giving yourself grace as you get closer to the core. Allow the tears to fall, pick yourself back up, and continue to lean on God as your resource of strength. We hope this could offer you some peace in your journey. We love you and hope to have you back again. Don’t forget to watch the visuals on YouTube and stream on podcasts platforms for a more audible version. Thanks for all of your support!
1 Corinthians 10:13
“The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.”
Galatians 5:16
“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.”
