Let's dive into some of the final words Jesus spoke while hanging on the cross. Why did He say them? Why cry out in a loud voice? Is the meaning deeper than what we have been taught, or should we simply take the words at face value according to our western way of thinking?
Come with me to discover the power and meaning behind Jesus' words in Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 (New King James version), "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
Scriptures:
Matthew 24:46
Mark 15:34
Psalm 22

Join us as we meet up with Melody, a woman raised in a cult and set free by the grace of Jesus.
What does a cult look like?
What should I do if I find myself in one?

We had a ferocious, growling, angry storm pass thought last night. Come see what the Lord showed me through the wind and the rain.
This is the Final Episode of Season 3, and the Final Kick off the New Year with a week of dreams and visions episode.
Why do you seek the living among the dead?
I had this set of visions back on March 26, 2023. God is more than what we think. He is not simply a Judge. He is not a bashing hammer. What is He?
Jeremiah 23:29
I call this vision: String of Lights.
Matthew 5:14-16
II Timothy 1:9
Matthew 6:19
This is the first of two visions I had on Father's Day 2023. It is a plea for us to take our gaze off the things that bring fear and instead fix them on the Lord.
A week of Dreams and Visions to kick off the New Year!
I had this vision back on November 23, 2022. It's and incomplete game of Tic Tac Toe, and God says, "It's Your Move!"
Ring in the New Year with a week of Dreams and Visions.
I had this vision on December 17, 2023 and got to watch the Truth that Jesus IS the Breath of Life and the Word of God. I hope you can see it played out in your heart as you hear these words.
Happy New Year! A week of personal Dream and Vision Bonus Episodes to ring in the New Year. Enjoy and be BLESSED!
I had this vision back in 2022 and was suddenly reminded of it on the Eve of New Year's Eve at a friend's New Year Party. We were having a time of worship and the song lyrics "And the Angels cried, Holy. All Creation cried, Holy" suddenly brought back this powerful and overwhelming vision that I am sharing with you today.
Persecuted for God (S3, Episode 17)
**This is our last full episode for Season 3. We may have a few more short bonus episodes of dreams of visions before launching Season 4 after the New Year begins in 2024.**
Last time on His Redemption Road we talked about the difference between a peacemaker and a peacekeeper, and why it is important to be a peacemaker. Jesus IS the Prince of Peace, and His followers will make peace.
Today we are finishing up the BeAtitudes with Matthew 5:10-11, our focus will be on verse 10 which says Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
What is persecution?
What is righteousness?
How is theirs the Kingdom of Heaven?
Matthew 5:1-11
Matthew 5:10-11
Matthew 5:3
Luke 14:28-33
John 15:18-20
Philippians 4:13
*All scripture used here today is from the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible unless otherwise stated.
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
What is a peacemaker, and is it different than a peacekeeper? Is that even important?
Matthew 5:1-11
Matthew 5:9
Proverbs 12:20
Romans 14:16-19
James 3:13-18
*All scripture used here today is from the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible unless otherwise stated.
This particular verse of Matthew 5 verse 8 states, 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God, and it answers a deep longing that most, if not all, Christians have. And that is a longing to see God. Most every follower of Jesus Christ that I have spoken to says to me in one way or another that they long to HEAR GOD’s VOICE and/or to SEE GOD. And that’s a good thing. It should be in the very core of every Christian to want to be intimate with God, to hear His voice, to see Him, and to know His will.
Matthew 5:8
Matthew 5:1-11
Psalm 51:10
James 4:8

Today we are inspecting Matthew chapter 5 verse 7 that reads 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
This is another seemingly straightforward verse, so let’s see if we can’t dig a little deeper to see what else the Holy Spirit will shed light on for us.
Matthew 5:1-11
Matthew 5:7
Luke 6:32-36
2 Corinthians 9:6-15
Romans 5:8

Today we are examining Matthew chapter 5 verse 6 that reads Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. This verse sounds pretty straightforward, but let’s see if we can’t go deeper than normal with the Holy Spirit to see what is below the surface level reading.
Matthew 5:1-11
Matthew 5:6
Colossians 1:19-23
Galatians 5:16-26
Psalm 119:105

On our last episode we tackled who mourns over what, and how they are comforted. Today we are examining Matthew chapter 5 verse 5 that reads, "Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth."
This is a widely misunderstood scripture mostly because people simply do not understand what it is trying to tell us. Who are the meek? What does a meek person look like? How does a meek person act? How does a meek person inherit the earth anyway? Let’s find out!

How are you comforted according to Jesus? Matthew 5:4
Lat episode we talked about how The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are Poor in Spirit. This time we are diving headlong into Matthew chapter 5 verse 4 that reads Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
This is a popular funeral verse applied to those grieving for dearly departed loved ones; but is that the application this verse intended?
Let’s find out!

For the next several weeks we are going to dive deep into the Beatitudes in Matthew 5, and talk about them in a way that you may have not heard before. This passage of scripture has had thousands of sermons, books, and artwork attributed to it, but do we truly understand how pivotal, radical, and mind-blowing these scriptures are? When we take these verses into the depths of our soul and spirit we will never quit and push on toward the goal that God has set before us. We will not be swayed, turned aside, or even tricked by the voices of the enemy. No! We will be founded and grounded in Jesus, and the attributes of the Kingdom of Heaven will flow in us and through us.
These scriptures are a call for us to GO ALL IN for CHIRST and to leave absolutely nothing behind for Jesus; or maybe better stated; to leave everything behind FOR JESUS and to cling to Him alone. Matthew 5:3
Matthew 5:1-11
John 5:19-23
1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Earlier this year I spoke at a Women's Retreat with the theme of 'Better Together'. Speakers talked about 'better together with family', 'better together with friends', and 'better together with church'. I spoke about 'Better Together with Jesus.'
Why do we need Jesus?
What did He actually pay for?
Join me as I give part of my healing testimony, talk about the price Jesus paid, and emphasize hearing His voice in this episode of His Redemption Road. This is the perfect 'wrap up' for Yom Kippur.

Double-mindedness is one of the main reasons we hop off the path God has for us and give up too quickly, so today we are going to dive into WHO IS a double-minded person and how to NOT be double-minded.
