In this episode we dive into Genesis 3 to understand some of Satan's oldest tricks to lead us away from God and His plans for us, right into his traps. Then I share one of the greatest deceptions satan tricked me with in my walk with Jesus. i pray this episode will encourage you and empower you, sharpening your discernment to strike down the devil's schemes the moment they hit your mind, in Jesus's name!
Scriptures in this episode: Genesis 3:1-5; Psalm 84:11; Numbers 23:19; John 10:10, 14:6, 17:17; Psalm 25:10; Lamentations 3:25.
In this episode I share what God has been teaching me through many different situations how to discern when the pull I feel to do something is Him, or me. Is it my flesh, or the Holy Spirit? Join me on the journey to becoming more in step with His Spirit, more like Jesus everyday!
Scriptures in this episode: Mark 1:35-39; 4:35-41; 5:21-43
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16
Sometimes following God can be like walking in the dark, feeling our way around as we try to discern which way He's leading us. But His word promises He will still guide us when we feel blind. When we can't see the path ahead, He will turn the darkness into light and make the rough places smooth.
Join me as I share a bit about what I've been up to while this podcast has bee paused, and what God has been teaching me lately about trusting Him and the process of obedience.
*The cover of this episode is my latest tiny watercolor, the very one I worked on after God spoke to me about trusting Him in my process. I’m going to paint 100 tiny watercolor paintings this year, how fun right?! I’m sure I’ll be sharing more in future episodes! 😊🎨

Join me on the Knife's Edge of Faith as we explore what it means to walk, or climb, by faith, the substance of what we hope for in Christ.
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23
After being led by the Lord on a two month hiatus, I have a word for my listeners, and an update on what I believe is the Lord's vision for the podcast going forward.
"I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will guide them; I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel's mourners, creating praise on their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near," says the Lord. "And I will heal them." Isaiah 57:18-19
As we delve deeper into our pride issues, sometimes a stronghold is revealed. These are areas Satan is able to repeatedly activate to get us to act in our flesh, falling into one of the ditches of pride. These strongholds typically are developed early in life and become more difficult to break down the longer we agree with, and operate in, them but the Lord is faithful. As we bring our sin patterns and cycles to Him, He will pull back the layers to not only reveal these strongholds, but help us to demolish them!
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
In the process of deep diving into humility, the Lord highlighted some specific areas of pride in my own flesh, and over the years He's led me on a journey to discover and pull out the roots of the roots of them. Join me on the journey as I share from my own life, and we delve into what the Word of God has to say about about defensiveness, mocking, impatience, and more. May the Lord help us to get to the roots of our most stubborn areas of pride, healing us, and helping us to walk each day in greater dependence on Him.
Two books I mentioned in this episode are "Exposing the Rejection Mindset" and "God Loves me and I love Myself" by Mark DeJesus. Here is a link to his website where you can find these, and more: https://markdejesus.com/books-by-mark-dejesus/. I found these materials to be incredibly helpful on my healing journey.
This podcast has been five years, of the refiner's fire and wilderness, in the making. Many times the enemy tempted me to give up, but God helped me to hold on, He was holding onto me! Remember everyone, God is faithful. Never give up on the promises He speaks over your life.
Here's what I've learned through it all: Don't give up; don't be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting- for He will never disappoint you! Psalm 27:14 TPT
Join me on the Knife's Edge Podcast where we will learn to identify and disarm the scheme's of Satan as we journey with Jesus on the narrow road. Come see what this podcast is all about!
