That is the foundation of today's episode as Jesus sends his disciples to find a colt tied to a tree.  Today's episode will inspire you, and help you heal from the pain of rejection as you step into your divine purpose.  

Have you wondered when the promises of God would finally happen in your life?  

Waiting is not easy, and waiting on the fulfillment of promises in faith is especially difficult, but God never backs away from his word.  In today's episode, we follow Jesus as he prepares for his grand entry into Jerusalem and fulfills the promises God made to Israel thousands of years earlier. 

If you have been waiting on an answer to your prayers and wondering when your time would come, the Moment series is for you.  

Wouldn't it be lovely if everything you wanted just happened without you having to do anything?  I know great fantasy, but that isn't real.  To get what you have never had, you must do what you have never done.  

God has given us the ability to obtain wealth, but it requires work, and while the work is necessary, it is not always easy.  

But don't waste your talents and don't delay occupying.  In today's episode, be inspired by the promises that come to you by investing in yourself and the talents God has given you. 

How do you occupy the space God has given you? 

As we look at the parable of the talents, God gives to us according to what is in us.  So in the territories you have, you are equipped.  You have the knowledge and wisdom to occupy.  Are you using your talents?   

In today's episode be reminded and comforted that you are not alone, God is with you.  Be encouraged by the tips on how not to limit your ability to perform but instead how to fully occupy your talents in the space God has given you.  

It doesn't matter how far in life you stray, Jesus is in route to meet you.  

The Word started moving before you were born with a promise to gather back all of the children of God that have been scattered throughout the world.  

Today, as we study the life of Jesus, we are reminded of the hope and the promise from God, that no regardless of how low we get, Jesus is there to meet us.  

Are you the link between Christ and your family? 

It only takes one to break the curse and change the family history, is it possible that you are the one?  Has your curorsity and generosity caused Jesus to enter into your home and bless you and your family?   

Today we continue to look at the life of Zacchaeus and learn what made God favor him and welcome him into the family of Christ. 

We have been following Jesus and his interaction with a man name Zacchaeus.  After connecting with Zacchaeus while passing through Jericho, Jesus has decided visit the home of Zaccheaus. 

If Jesus decided right now that he wanted to spend time in your home , are you ready to receive him as a guest? 

In this week's episode, we look at the life of Zacchaeus and share wisdom on how to prepare yourself to welcome Jesus into your home and life.  

In order to get something you have never had before, you have to do something you have never done before. 

Today we continue to follow Jesus as he is passing through Jericho on his way to Jerusalem and his encounter with a man name Zacchaeus. 

Zacchaeus' story teaches us the power of stepping away from the crowd, running ahead and finding the strength and courage to climb will set you apart and cause Jesus to take notice of you.      

We have been learning wisdom from the events that happened on the Road to Jericho involving the blind man. 

The journey through the unknown is not always easy, but you are perfectly positioned to receive the healing you have been seeking and once healed, do not go back to blind.   

Listen and be blessed.  

Each day God gives us guidance for our lives and directions on how to handle situations we encounter. Unfortunately, more often than not, we ignore the instructions of God and instead decide to do things our way.  As a result, we miss the opportunity to see miracles.  For it is in the obedience of the command that fruit is produced. 

In today's episode we look at the command that Jesus gave his disciples and the miracle that was performed as a result of their obedience.  

In order to get from where you are to where you want to be, you have to move.   Going anywhere new requires knowledge of the destination. But often we hesitate to move because we don't know the way and are not sure what the journey entails. But God has promised to be a light unto our pathway. 

In today's episode we are reminded to not be afraid to move, because although we don't know what the journey will be like, we have an escort to guide us where we need to go.  

Everything leads to something and the experiences in your life were designed to place you where you are at this moment.  

In today's episode we are reminded that God will never forget us, he knows exactly where we are and when we can't get to him, he will always come to us.  Be encouraged and know that you are perfectly positioned and in the place you are meant to be, at the exact moment to encounter Christ.  

Do you ever ask yourself, why are they not changing?  What is keeping someone that you love or care about from receiving a word from God.  Sometimes, not realizing it, we ourselves may be the stone that blocks others' access to God. 

In today's episode we look at how the disciples attempted to hinder parents from bringing their children to Christ.  Today we take an inventory of our lives and the way we handle people to make sure that we are not in the way of others coming to Christ.  

How much focus do you give to the present moment? 

So often we are in today but our minds and hearts are in either what has happened or what will happen and as a result we miss God in the present moment. 

On today's episode Jesus shares the wisdom of being watchful and present in the now. We share tips on how to secure your mind and your heart and be watchful so that you do not miss Jesus when he arrives in your situation. 

As you listen to today's episode ask yourself, how checked in am I on the present moment? 

Sometimes in life, it feels as if it is a struggle to keep moving.  To keep showing up when it seems as if everything is designed to knock you down.  

In today's episode, Jesus reminds us that where you are in your life is the will of God.  Nothing catches God by surprise.  So the place you are in is by design and the help that you need will meet you in the right place if you can find the strength to keep moving.  

Take a listen, find inspiration to keep standing, and be encouraged. 

There comes that moment in life when you have to make a decision; do I stay where I am comfortable and die or do I live what is familiar and live.  

In today's episode, Jesus reminds us about the story of Lot and how God had a plan for him and his family to be protected.  However, in order to receive that protection they had to leave their home.  Living is not always easy, especially when life as you know it changes. 

But we are reminded to be encouraged, here is a mountain reserved for your protection.    

Have a listen and be inspired.  

In last week's episode, Jesus taught us that nothing that happens in our life catches God by surprise.  God sees everything and because he knows we find grace in his eyes to help us deal with the adversities and challenges in life.  

In today's episode, we are reminded not to waste the treasures that we have received.  Each day build your life according to the instructions God has given so that when the storm comes, you and your family are protected.  

Have a listen and be encouraged. 

Do you ever wonder if God notices you?   Do you ever wonder if God is aware, or even cares, about the things that are happening in your life or more importantly in the world.      

In today's episode, Jesus teaches that nothing about your life is a mystery to God and reminds us that there is nothing new under the sun.  Just like he prepared Noah for the flood, he will make sure that you are prepared for the storms in your life. 

Listen and be encouraged.   

Life is a challenge.  We encounter situations that are difficult and sometimes hard to bare.  The question we often ask is why? Why does everything have to be so hard?  The answer is simple, there is great power within you and to release that power, you need to be poked. 

In today's episode we talk about the harnessing of the power within you and provide you with tips and words of encouragement while God pokes you to release your untapped power.   

How do you defeat stress? By being present in the moment. God is a strategic God, and if we stay present and where he is in the moment that he is in, he will prepare us for every other day, every other moment all the time.  

In today's episode we look at the life of Jesus and learn the wisdom of how to pay attention to what is in season while it is in season.
