Hope signals and activates joy in your heart.</li><li>Be intentional about cultivating joy.</li><li>You always have access to encounter God’s presence.</li></ul> Questions to ponder on:<ul><li>What makes you dance everyday?</li><li>What lies are you ruminating on?</li><li>How deep is your joy?

For truths in this episode, “Joy Is…”:<ul><li>Joy is hope in the dark</li><li>Joy is gladness of heart</li><li>Joy is being assured</li><li>Joy is agreement</li><li>Joy is understanding</li><li>Joy is acceptance</li><li>Joy is contentment in and with the past, present, now, and future happenings</li><li>Joy is knowing that you are safe, secure, accepted</li><li>Joy is acknowledgment of you unwavering reliance</li><li>Joy is a deep admiration and reverence for God</li><li>Joy is belief in the greater</li><li>Joy is the emotion you choose when hope comes</li><li>Joy is best produced in the midst of discipline and suffering</li><li>Joy is Jesus</li></ul> When hope dims, joy dims as well so beware of your killjoys and embrace your joy activators. Killjoys can be anything or anyone purposefully trying to snuff out the God in you - do not let it, do not let them. If you are in the depth of depression, there is no hope, reach out and begin a journey of restoring your hope and joy. So, get rid of your killjoys - your idols. Your joy burst is a repentant heart obediently walking in step with Jesus; as you heal, you sprinkle your joy dust onto others around you.  Listen to Episode 55: Joy Unlimited -Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite: <a href="http://www.chiefjoyactivator.com" rel="nofollow">www.chiefjoyactivator.com</a>  Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite| <a href="http://www.godlywomanandcompany.org" rel="nofollow">www.godlywomanandcompany.org</a>

S5 EP76: Renea Lomotey - From Unlearning to Relearning Love

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2024/3/19/22/7eb1967d-5c34-48b9-816f-432a8ba55b2c_ctlf_s5_ep_75_-_3_19_24__6.10_pm.mp3

<ul><li>Love is defined as walking in obedience to God’s commands. Love is defined as God - God is love. God’s design for love in humanity is that we love Him first so that we can learn from Him how to love ourselves and others. If we do not learn to open our hearts to God and desire His love, moving from a mechanical, transactional relationship to a more intimate, transformational relationship, we will not be fully open to ourselves and to others. We will miss God every time. The type of love we get from the Spirit is agape love, every other kind we express or think we express is counterfeit - Philia, Eros, Ludic etc</li></ul> <ul><li>The truth about love is that, loving others the way Christ wants us to is risky and can be messy. That is why it is risky and messy love. We cannot choose and do it in our own natural humanness. We need the Holy Spirit’s guidance and we must obey Him. If we see Jesus as our Lord and we obey Him, we can forgive, and we can forget, and we can extend grace onto others. Now that is the right ego - you caught that? If your EGO is of the Spirit, you Extend Grace Onto others. </li></ul> <ul><li>Cultivating love is getting back to the attributes of love and allowing God to show you areas of your life where you need change. 1 Corinthians 13 can be your love test. Test yourself by simply asking - am I kind? Am I patient? If you are brave, ask people around you. Don’t be defensive, a true disciple who wants to grow will welcome the feedback and ask God to show her or him the path towards change. </li></ul> Do you want to follow along with me this season?Sign up for our Newsletter at www.chiefjoyactivator.com or www.godlywomanandcompany.org and you will receive the link to complete your Healing Heart Habits Reflections for each podcast episode.

<ul><li>The Fruit of the Spirit is interconnected to all the Graces of the christian faith as we see in 2 Peter 1:5-7. This interconnectedness is how we can tell a real fruit of the Spirit from a fake fruit of the Spirit. The fake one often comes from our natural personality traits. A disciple of Jesus, whose heart has been nurtured by the Holy Spirit, does not rely only on their personality but also looks deep into the heart to hear what the Spirit desires.</li></ul> <ul><li>Learn the Word of God and allow your heart to be taught. Teaching requires an active engaged mind willing to take in information and practice what is taught. This way, in moments when you need to show grace, the characteristics of love and kindness can be shown.</li></ul> <ul><li>Do all you can to remain attached to the vine. The enemy is cunning and he comes to steal, kill, and destroy. To weather the storms of life and overcome the mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational hurdles, we must walk with Jesus daily. Not just reading the word, but committing it to memory and repeating what we have read so often throughout the day that it becomes a part of you. If you have to sit with a verse for a whole week, do that… I do this dear sister! </li></ul> Do you want to follow along with me this season?Sign up for our Newsletter at www.chiefjoyactivator.com or www.godlywomanandcompany.org and you will receive the link to complete your Healing Heart Habits Reflections for each podcast episode.

In this Part 1 of the Introduction to the Season 5 series, I teach about &#34;Who is the Fruit of the Spirit&#34;.<ul><li>The Fruit of the Spirit comes from the Holy Spirit who advocates for us daily. Any mental, emotional, relational struggle we are experiencing in life must be brought into the Holy Spirit’s presence; invite Him to teach you because that’s what Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit will bring to our remembrance all that we have learned from Him.</li></ul> <ul><li>Which takes me to thought number two, you must learn the Word of God and allow your heart to be taught. Teaching requires an active engaged mind willing to take in information and practice what is taught. This way, in moments when you need to show grace, the characteristics of love and kindness can be shown.</li></ul> <ul><li>Thought number three is you must do all you can to remain attached to the vine. The enemy is cunning and he comes to steal, kill, and destroy. To weather the storms of life and overcome the mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational hurdles, we must walk with Jesus daily.

Yessss! We are back for season 5! This is the season of &#39;remaining&#39; when everyone is busy searching. In this bonus episode, I open season 5, share ministry updates and some personal updates too.When I took these past few months to rest and receive perspective through prayer and solitude, I realized that my primary aim is to enjoy Jesus and glorify Him forever. How I glorify the Lord is cultivating the gift seed He has planted in my heart. I need to take each seed and nurture it, cultivate it and make sure I steward my giftings well. From writing, to leading, to healing, to faith, I must use these gifts well and multiply them for His Kingdom. I am so happy to be back doing exactly what rests well in my heart. We kickoff season five exploring life in the Spirit - specifically the Fruit of the Spirit. I will teach on the fruit and also invite guests to explore the various characteristics of the fruit with me.Excited for what&#39;s coming up so much that I am doing a podcast dump! Enjoy!

Shaunte Prevot is a mom of five beautiful children, a wife of twelve years and a daughter of God. She loves date nights and family nights are a treasure in her heart. I sat down with my good friend to explore aspects of her life and the journey of womanhood. She is a new Author and you can find more about her children’s book “Goodbye Fear, God is With Me” on Amazon. Shaunte is passionate about racial reconciliation.She believes that Racial Reconciliation starts with US. Loving each other and what makes us different. We’re purposefully made up of an array of colors as Christ intended, all stemming from dirt. God saw everything he made and said it was very good. ALL of us are made in the image of Christ (Genesis 1:26-27). As I challenge myself I also challenge you to speak up and stand out for racial reconciliation in our land. May you be bold and courageous as you speak up and stand with Jesus! Let’s get back to the beginning together.Here are a few nuggets from our conversation:<ul><li>Be intentional with your words and in seeing your loved ones</li><li>See difficult seasons in parenthood as seasons</li><li>When you begin to see Jesus for yourself, your relationships change</li><li>Your relationship with God is a growing journey</li><li>Pursue God with your heart, seek His face, spend time with Him</li><li>You notice a shift in your struggles the more you surrender to Jesus</li><li>Be prepared to let go of ungodly friendships so as to create space for godly relationships</li><li>Humility is a powerful trait of a godly woman</li><li>God sees and knows more about your seasons than you do - trust Him</li><li>To train godly children, you must allow yourself to be trained by the Holy Spirit</li><li>Train up: this is an intentional purpose assigned to you by the Lord</li><li>Think generational blessings as you partner with the Holy Spirit to break generational curses</li></ul> Connect with Guest:Shaunte PrevotIG| shaunteprevot Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite: <a href="http://www.chiefjoyactivator.com" rel="nofollow">www.chiefjoyactivator.com</a>  Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite| <a href="http://www.godlywomanandcompany.org" rel="nofollow">www.godlywomanandcompany.org</a>

The kingdom of God can often be seen as an upside down Kingdom. We see in Hebrews that agreement with God leads to understanding, not understanding God leads to agreement. Because of their faith -- Abel was commended as righteous. Agreement establishes our righteousness with God. You are in alignment. You are in obedience and poised to put that faith into action. - Enoch gained eternal life for agreeing with God. You have peace about your life and where you are going. You simply believe, you accept God as He is from His Word. - Noah moved in fear toward God’s will not away from God. He gained righteousness and power. You may be afraid or in fear of your healing journey, your transition, your life change, your heart transformation. Move anyway, move in fear toward God.

Continuing on the Heart Transformation series, we are learning about the human will and God’s will. This episode was a learning moment for me and I hope as you listen you take some time to journal all the coaching questions I ask. The human will is the most powerful force on earth and without our permission, the Holy Spirit remains untapped.Three thoughts for today:<ul><li>The human will is the most powerful force on earth. The human will is tucked within the mind which is tucked within the soul which is a part of the heart. The human will is the ultimate faculty that actively causes us to do. The human will can be misguided by life experiences, traumas and unpleasant happenings. The human will denies us of the pleasures of walking in holiness because of selfish desires and sin nature. The human will causes us to break our promises and covenants where our will to do is easily affected by our desires for self.</li></ul> <ul><li>To align the human will with the will of God, everything must be set in our hearts - the desire, the motive, the will. Our minds must be renewed on God’s Word constantly enough for our hearts to desire only God’s Truth. If our will is conflicted between the world and God, we will not be able to fully experience obedience in Christ. Our hearts must delight only in the Lord, and verbally confess our desire to obey Him only. The more we confess our sins and profess our desires, our minds renew and that seeps into our hearts. We must allow God’s timing to always be more profound in our waiting than our own timeline. If you are waiting, He knows you need it.</li></ul> <ul><li>Changing a habit does not start with changing a behavior. Changing a habit starts with knowing why you want to change the habit. Knowing your motives and motivations is very important. This first step must be driven deeply into your mind and heart canals to the point of desiring the why. When your heart is settled on the why, you are in agreement with what God is telling you to do, change. Your will to do will shift things as priorities and you will easily begin to accomplish God’s will. The key is to believe with your heart and agree with God.</li></ul> Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite: www.chiefjoyactivator.com Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite| www.godlywomanandcompany.org

We may never know fully why we do what we do, however, when weare intentional about transforming our hearts, “the why &#39;&#39; behind “thewhat” will be revealed to us. Question is, are we ready to face ourselves, and allow God to reveal who we are to us while He nurtures our spirits into His likeness?

No regrets! Christianity is not easy, not for wimps. It is hard and easy and for those who choose to live a life after Jesus’s life and desire to have a pure heart. Blessed are the pure in heart - for they shall see God! Don’t just keep God first. Allow God to flow in your heart, teach you, lead you, love you, transform you. Three thoughts for today:When you accept Christ as Lord and Savior, get baptized, and begin life as a Christian. That is like the early stages of being adopted into sonship. What a pleasure it is, the grace of God, that you are saved. Your faith gets you to the feet of Jesus, your heart gets you to see his face and behold all that He wants you to be and do. Being saved is great! Strive in the Spirit and refuse to grieve Him. Go against the grain and the urges to be like others who know Jesus with their heads but not their hearts. You were bought at a price. You are anchored in the One who is seen by those who know Him. You are more than a conqueror!Yes, being a Christian may seem like you are ‘giving up on pleasures of life’, but what would it be for you to gain the whole world and lose your soul. Don’t idolize the things of Jesus more than the thoughts of Jesus. Don’t idolize… your relationship with Jesus as your Lord means you yield to the Master. It is easy for us to follow human Master teachers in Master classes more than the author and finisher of our faith. Ok okay let&#39;s ponder on this a bit… the author and finisher…hmmm When you trust, you surrender, you yield, you wait, you listen, you obey…  Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite: <a href="http://www.chiefjoyactivator.com" rel="nofollow">www.chiefjoyactivator.com</a>  Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite| <a href="http://www.godlywomanandcompany.org" rel="nofollow">www.godlywomanandcompany.org</a>

S4 EP64: Being a Christian is So Hard? Easy? PT6 Heart Transformation Series

Having self control is different from practicing self-control. It is not as easy said and done. You cannot reign over anger when you are pushed to the edge, you cannot pull yourself out of unwise decisions when you are on an emotional high… you need the One who doesn’t condemn and bring on shame. This friend will remind you subtly, what is important and of value to you. Three thoughts from today&#39;s episode are three ways to develop self control: Keep evil and sin far from your lips, your heart, your eyes. If you harbor sin in your heart and mind, you cannot hear from the Spirit thus the fruit of self-control and the others will fade from your heart. Do not be conceited, do not provoke, do not envy these are the little foxes that spoil the vineyard of our hearts and soon, we are out of control. Pre-decide how you want the end of a situation to be. If you want to see joy at the end, then pre-decide in your mind that that is what you want and that you are ready to do everything you can to behold that joy. If you find yourself rushing, hurrying, being impatient, slow down and check if you are still on track toward the end you want or you are off track.Quiet the noise around you and listen for the Spirit’s prompting in your heart. What He says will always align to the Word and in particular, it will bring a sense of peace and motivation - not condemnation and shame. You may feel guilty to make things right but never guilty to harm yourself or others.  Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite: <a href="http://www.chiefjoyactivator.com" rel="nofollow">www.chiefjoyactivator.com</a>  Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite| <a href="http://www.godlywomanandcompany.org" rel="nofollow">www.godlywomanandcompany.org</a>

S4 EP63: Get Rid of Emotional Baggage: PT 5 Heart Transformation Series

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/10/25/23/fbdf6653-755c-42e0-b930-73c18cc97d90_ctlf_s4_ep_62_-_10_25_23__7.20_pm.mp3

You aren&#39;t double-minded! You have the mind of Christ! If you have submitted your heart to Christ, invite Him to cleanse this heart and begin renewing your mind. Your FREEdom and healing from strongholds rests in letting go of your old self (because it&#39;s been crucified with Christ) and each day renewing your spirit mind with His Word - His truths and promises.Three Thoughts for today:One: Heart Transformation is God’s business. Our business is to sit with Him and allow him the space and time to work His will in us. Don’t let anyone in this world fool you that you don’t need God for a heart transformation. If you want to do it without God, then go for it. I know what that process feels like and I personally do not choose slavery to sin. I choose to believe that there is sin and there is repentance through the grace of God. That to me is freedom when the conscience is at peace and can rest.  Two: Renewing of the mind must be a daily habit and practice on the Word of God first and foremost. Every theory, every podcast, every information out here is basically either accepting of the Truth or denying of the Truth. So what wouldn&#39;t we go to the source for ourselves and read. Interestingly, why would we read anything else but the Holy Bible? Not reading the Holy Bible can be seen as an act of defiance, disobedience to the Spirit. Renew your mind dear sister, on the one Truth from which all these other truths are vying for your attention, time, and money!Three: You are never double-minded when the spirit of God is alive - fully alive in you. You must remember this and the dangers of being here and there. When you try to create your own version of yourself by piecing together a piece of material from here and a patch from here, you know what you have? A quilt! You aren’t a patchwork of leftover materials, dear sister, you are a masterpiece, carefully, wonderfully crafted by the One True God with the purpose of filling the earth, subduing it, being fruitful and multiplying. God made you a masterpiece so stop acting on your own terms as a patchwork - stealing from God, stealing from the devil, stealing from others and stealing from self and mixing it up into your own version of self. Allow God to renew your mind and restore you to His glory!

S4 EP62: Recalibrate Your Mind - PT 4 Heart Transformation Series

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/10/19/1/aa461af8-c891-4305-84a3-9e03dfe0e6d4_ctlf_s4_ep_61_-_10_18_23__8.57_pm.mp3

We cannot live a sinless life as long as we are in this world, but God we aren’t under the law but under grace. So when we fall into sin, God’s love should remind us to do the first thing first - repent. Have that heart posture in his presence and acknowledge your sins. Be open, honest, transparent with God - it&#39;s just you and him. Ask for forgiveness and commit to his discipleship to grow in Him with the help of the Holy Spirit. True FREEdom, our desire to be set free, begins when we acknowledge, accept and abide. Acknowledge our sinful nature and give it to Jesus; Accept Jesus and His yoke and burden, and we Abide forever in Him - we are committed to His ways. Three Thoughts for today:One: Heart Transformation is God’s business. Period. Don’t let anyone in this world fool you that you don’t need God for a heart transformation. If you want to do it without God, then go for it. I know what that process feels like and I personally do not choose slavery to sin. I choose to believe that there is sin and there is repentance through the grace of God. That to me is freedom when the conscience is at peace and can rest.  Two: The sin factor is not talked about enough. In my other sphere of mental health, we excuse many sins with labels which really, if we can begin to acknowledge them for what they are we can begin to get true relief in our hearts and minds. Set the conscience free by acknowledging what you know is so not right, the battle you are facing to let that sin go. A heart that is turned over to Jesus, cannot be taken over by Satan, but a heart that is already rejecting Jesus is opening a door for another host/spirit. Three: If you can get beyond the sin factor in your Heart transformation, the battle is more than halfway won! Heart transformation is more than tending to your emotions and feelings. It is a journey that requires time, Holy Spirit, and a willing teachable humble heart ready to exude the pure fruits of the spirit. You are ready to live true holiness, you are ready to deny self, die to self daily and allow Jesus to lead your life as your Lord. Connect with Kate:Instagram| chiefjoyactivatorWebsite: <a href="http://www.chiefjoyactivator.com" rel="nofollow">www.chiefjoyactivator.com</a>  Connect with us:Organization:Instagram| godlywomanandcompanyInstagram| choosetolivefreepodcastWebsite| <a href="http://www.godlywomanandcompany.org" rel="nofollow">www.godlywomanandcompany.org</a>
