Fresh Grounded Faith

A few notes & quotes from the Fresh Grounded Faith Conference with
Jennifer Rothschild, Lysa T., Abby R. and Michael O…

• “Trust God more than you trust your feelings.” (Jennifer)

• Give yourself permission to push past the fear in order to go on whatever adventure God is calling you to. (Lysa) “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7(ESV) “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.” 1 John 4:18

• God is our REDEEMER. (Michael)

• We must believe that who we are is who GOD says we are. (Jennifer)

• God gives spectator grace and He gives participant grace. (Jennifer) God’s grace is sufficient. "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9b

• I must allow God to change ME within my circumstance. “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Cor 4:16-18

• “I need to be healthy so I can LIVE the life God intended for me.” (Abby)

• “If it seemed possible, it wouldn’t require faith.” (Abby)

• Not every storm is orchestrated by God, but every storm IS allowed by the sovereignty of God. Because it draws you closer to Him, the storm MAY be evidence of God’s care for you. (Jennifer)

• We can go from asking God, “Why suffering?” to “Why grace? Why peace?” (Jennifer)

• I can trust God with my “Why?”

• What you feed grows; what you starve dies. So starve your untrue thoughts. Stop them and say, “That’s not true.” What does God say about _____? Take captive your thoughts. “…and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Cor 10:5b

• We are better together on this spiritual journey. We need “Jesus sisters” with whom to draw near and to speak truth. We must be willing to be drawn near.
