Hopeful Harvest Acres
As a wife, mother, friend, but most importantly believer, growing in my faith, I find the joy of working with my hands in the garden and around my home. “Trust God” is a simple statement to say, but when faced with trials of this life, will our faith stand? The greatest work we have as believers is to grow into the likeness of God. This is done through the sanctifying work of The Holy Spirit. In a culture that shouts so loudly against God's Word, let us stand together for truth and strive to carry His Word out each day in our own lives. My hope is that you will always leave here encouraged.

Episode 59: Knowing the Spirit-Week 8 of 12-What are the gifts of the Holy Spirit
This week Spiritual Gifts are our main topic. Using Costi’s book, we will break this episode into 4 main sections, focusing on Extremes/Opinions/& Human Tendencies, what exactly is a Spiritual Gift, the purpose of the gifts, and what exactly are the gifts. Costi makes sure to highlight as we get started that we should be letting Scripture speak definitively knowing the nature of the gifts before making statements about what we believe to be the Spirit’s normative pattern. These gifts are gra...

Episode 57: Knowing the Spirit-Week 6 of 12-What is the Filling of the Holy Spirit
Welcome back friends as we dive into the topic of the filling of the Holy Spirit. As always, we will allow the Word of God to guide us. Our experience should never dictate truth. Rather we will let truth dictate truth. We will compare the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to the filling of the Holy Spirit and hopefully walk away with a better understanding of the two. This topic is important so we can accurately teach others and with the help of the Word and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, successf...

Episode 56: Knowing the Spirit-Week 5 of 12-What is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Back for Week 5 as we unpack an important topic and ultimately reality for every believer in Christ, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is a big topic and it takes a great amount of time to discuss it, so I have broken this chapter into two separate weeks. We will look at specific texts to understand what Baptism is. The scripture that Costi has us focus on this week is found in 1 Corinthians 12:13 where it reads, “For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body-whether Jews or G...

Episode 55: Knowing the Spirit-Week 4 of 12-What does it mean to Walk by the Spirit
Back again this week as we continue on in Costi Hinn’s book titled, Knowing the Spirit. The last three podcasts, we discussed, Who the Holy Spirit is, How we encounter Him, and How He changes your life. Now this week we will compare walking by the flesh to walking by the Spirit. As believers, let’s not live by a list of “to not dos”, but rather let’s live with the mentality, “what we get to do”. May you be encouraged this week with the freedom you have in Christ to freely embrace the fruit for t...

Episode 54: Knowing the Spirit-Week 3 of 12-How Does The Spirit Change Your Life
Welcome back this week as we move forward with Knowing the Spirit and jump into How The Spirit Changes Your Life. Costi Hinn has us do a word study this week in his book where we are focusing on the terms Regeneration, Justification, Sanctification, and Illumination. Once we encounter the Holy Spirit, you will be changed. It’s important that we understand the process of how this happens as we go about applying these biblical principles to our lives as believers. Join me as we discuss topics such...

Episode 53: Knowing the Spirit-Week 2 of 12-Encountering the Holy Spirit-Faith over Experience
Join me back this week as we continue on with Costi Hinn’s book titled, Knowing the Spirit. Every person will have an encounter with the Holy Spirit, but only those who demonstrate repentance will have the Holy Spirit dwelling within and have genuine saving faith. The Holy Spirit is a person, which means we can encounter Him as we live our Christian lives. He lives within us and we are told to Walk by the Spirit and not by the flesh. This week we will see how that is possible and discuss ways th...

Episode 52: Knowing the Spirit-Week 1 of 12-Who is the Holy Spirit
Join me as I start week 1 of a 12 week series using the book, titled Knowing the Spirit by Costi Hinn. This week we are going to focus on Who is the Holy Spirit. As Costi states in his book, many have a false view of Him and many have grown up in churches that spoke very little of Him. Maybe you too will need to do some deconstruction from false beliefs that are not rooted from scripture and reconstruct so you can begin to understand who He is and what He is wanting to do in your life. Find me h...

Episode 51: New Book Study Coming Soon-Knowing the Spirit-Ladies Conference-Encouragement
On this week’s podcast, I will give you all some information about a new study I will be starting next Friday. The book titled, Knowing the Spirit by Costi Hinn will be the resource I am using to record a new podcast that I plan to release each Friday. Costi came out of the charismatic movement, where they promoted faith healings, slaying people in the spirit, speaking in unintelligible languages, and ultimately, profaning the name of Christ and the Holy Spirit. I do hope after our 12 weeks toge...

Episode 46: The Excellent Wife Series-Week 11 of 21-Intimacy-The Wife’s Response
This week on the podcast we will discuss six biblical principles regarding sex. God’s great purpose for sex in a marriage was for the procreation of life, but also for physical intimacy. Sexual intimacy is for the mutual giving and receiving of great pleasure and joy between a husband and a wife! Won’t you seek to agree with God that sex within marriage is indeed good and view it His way! This has been somewhat of an uncomfortable topic to openly discuss, but if you are anything like me, I belie...

Episode 45: The Excellent Wife Series-Week 10 of 21- Respect-The Wife’s Reverence
This is a hard week, as it requires us women to do a detailed assessment in our lives. The topic this week focuses on respect and in Martha’s book, The Excellent Wife, she lays out five Biblical Principles a wife should be abiding in as she seeks to apply this truth in her life. The wife is to respect her husband. She also is to respect his position. A wife is to act to a respectful manner at all times. Wives should be reproving her husband respectfully and the wife who is disrespectful may expe...

We have a lot to discuss this week as we dive into Chapter 9 titled, Love- The Wife's Choice. The Bible has a lot to say about love as does the culture around us.

Episode 43: The Excellent Wife-Week 8 of 21-A Wife’s Domain-Worker at Home
An unpopular opinion is the biblical call for women to be workers at home. Let’s dive into week 8 of the Excellent Wife Series and discuss what it truly means to be a worker at home and what this actually looks like. I once was turned off by this concept. However now I see the beautiful God has put in place through a wife’s job in being a worker at home. My hope is that through hearing my own personal testimony and through your own time in prayer and meditation upon God’s Word, you will see the ...

Join me back this week as we start part 2 of The Excellent Wife series. We are now looking at a wife’s responsibility. We will be tempted to look to false gods to worship rather the true God. The truth is we are always worshiping something or someone. Let’s identify what areas we may indeed be putting something or someone else on the throne of our hearts where God our Creator alone belongs. In addition to false gods, we also tend to look to false saviors to bring us comfort, peace, and joy in th...

Welcome back as we continue on with week 6 using the book titled, The Excellent Wife. Chapter 6 addresses roles of women. I hope you will walk away with a biblical view in how you can embrace who God created you to be as His Imagine bearer and specifically as a female, redeemed by God. Never undervalue the reality that man and woman are interdependent on one another. Women are to submit to their husbands and husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church. We won’t do this perfectly,...

Episode 35: Wrapping up Spiritual Gifts-Personal Experience-Love the Body-Immeasurably More
Join me today as I do a quick review of what we discussed over the last several weeks pertaining to the Spiritual Gifts. Above all else, let’s seek to love the Body of Christ. Maybe we don’t know what our gift is. Let’s be the hands and feet of Christ and our gift will naturally be used as we are reading Gods Word, obeying His Word, and loving the Body as a whole when we gather together. This is a heavily debated topic, but one that we should continue to dive deeper into Gods Word to understand....

Episode 34: Qualifications of an Overseer continued-Gender Roles-What is a Deacon-Scripture Speaks
Continuing on this week, I will be laying out the qualifications found in Scripture of an Overseer and reviewing again how several words can describe that specific role. The church not only needs Godly men who fit the criteria laid out for us in 1 Timothy to be leading the church, but Deacons to serve in other areas of ministry within the walls of the church as well. Now I realize ministry options are not just limited to the church body itself, as we know, there are numerous Christian organizati...

We will also address what the definition of an Overseer is and how there are several descriptions listed in the New Testament that are used interchangeably for this title. Those who are Shepherding our local churches have been gifted with the unique ability to teach and exposit the Word. These men are held to specific standards to step into these roles God ...

Episode 32: Prayer-Men & Women Roles-1 Timothy 2-Governing Authorities
Many Scriptures can be interpreted in different ways, so I encourage you this week to find a church that lines up with your view of God’s Word. Paul addresses prayer twice in chapter 2. All of our governing authorities have been set in place by God. Nothing exists apart from God’s doing. Instead of grumbling about our nations leaders, let’s seek to be in prayer for them, especially in regards for their salvations. Jesus died for all and His death was sufficient for all, but not all will come to ...

It has been a blessed 6 weeks discussing the Spiritual Gifts in 1 Corinthians. Today we are going to turn our attention to the book of 1 Timothy, focusing on sound doctrine that Paul instructed Timothy to stand firm in. The early church was already being plagued with false teachings that Salvation was not by Grace alone, through Faith alone, in Christ Alone, and so Timothy was given charge to remove any individual who would seek to pervert the Word or God. Let’s look at these men known as Judaiz...
