{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Fruit of His counsel","slug":"fruitofhiscounsel","podcastDescription":"

I seek not my own will but the will of my Father who sent me…

The world is in deep suffering and as believers we are called to be the light of the world for those in darkness – to support, to counsel and to walk alongside them, bringing light and hope to their darkest moments.

We are to seek His counsel, to let His word be the lamp to our feet and speak the Word, Truth into the darkness we encounter.

But we are not the lights we think we are, if we rely on our own will, or opinions, or understanding, or beliefs. Having walked many people through grief and suffering, the Lord is using Kezia’s past career as a counsellor and art therapist, to equip the saints to counsel each other and a world overcome with suffering.

This podcast seeks to repair the foundations – getting back to the simple command to: seek His counsel (kingdom) first. You will find encouragement to prepare you for works of service, to be built up in unity in the faith, and in the knowledge of Christ Jesus to become mature in the fulness of Christ. So that as a body we will no longer be rocked by the many plights and turmoil’s of this life and can confidently end friendship with the world, lighting the way for those still in bondage to follow.

We are to let our light shine before men, that they may see our good and praise our Father in heaven.

The question is: your will or the Lord’s will? This is the great battle at the centre of our Christian lives. Our will, our desires, our pleasures and comfort; yet, our Lord gave all for us, so that we might live, and have His way in our lives. The two wills are in opposition, therefore, we can’t have both - we must choose…
