Checking In

Church Hurt 

• Recognizing that we may get "church hurt" because we put our trust in people who are misrepresenting Jesus
• When you feel resistant to attending church, be aware of your anger, resentment, and hypocricy
• People need to know God for themselves
• Life and death are in the power of the tongue
• God stands in the gap where we fall short
• Operating in past hurts, will cause us to misstep and lead from a place of pain 

In John 9:1-9, Jesus healed a man who was born blind. Pay attention to verse 8 where it says “8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” Notice how the people who REMEMBER him as a blind and begging man, do not KNOW him to be the man that Jesus healed. There is a difference between knowing someone and remembering them. God knows you, but a lot of people just remember you. 

John 1:1-9

Mark 6:4

Proverbs 5:21

For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths

James 1:8

Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

Identity 

"Who you are" is different from "Whose you are".

This week, we discuss the difference between whose we are vs who we are. My identity was built around my athletic career for most of my life, but when it was taken away, I had no idea who I was. It wasn't until God showed me whose I am, that I could discover who I am. Being a father, a brother, and an educator is all for the Glory of God. Follow us on Instagram @yourneighbor_nique.

1 Corinthians 6:19 NIV

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own,"

James 1:8

Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do

Matthew 6:24-26

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

In this week's episode, we will discuss the areas of our journey where we need to get out of our feelings. Sometimes we can allow our feelings to dictate our obedience to God's assignments.  Let us recognize our feelings, and submit them to God. When we are in those seasons of our life, when we don't "feel" like praying, going to church, or reading the bible, may our posture be corrected to honor God. Listen to how we can get out of our feelings, and be aware of what God is doing in this season.

Galatians 5:17

17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

Proverbs 28:26

 Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.

Episode 2:

Have you ever thought, " I'm Not Supposed To Be Here"? In this week's episode, we discuss the areas of our life that we feel we don't deserve to be in. Whether it's a blessing that we don't feel worthy of or a circumstance that we don't think we should be in. "Don't let the devil discount you!" Join us as we break down the value that has been placed on our lives and how the adversary will attempt to block our blessings. I want to remind you, that you are called! Please be encouraged to follow, share your praise report, and leave a review, as we continue to give God all the glory. You can follow us on Instagram at yourneighbor_nique

1 Peter 2:9

 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

1 Corinthians 15:58

 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

^{Colossians 1:14}

We have been bought by His blood and made free. Our sins are forgiven through Him

Welcome to Your Neighbors Podcast, hosted by Nique Williams. 

In this episode, we will discuss commitment from biblical and worldly perspectives. We will discuss the biggest commitment that God requires of His children, as well as the areas of our lives that we hesitate to commit to God with. 

Bible Verses:

Psalm 37:5 

• Commit your way to the Lord: trust in him, and he will act

• Proverbs 16:3

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established 

• Revelation 3:15-16

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
