Have you ever just wanted to be seen for the person you really are on the inside? Seen for the potential you have inside you and not for the broken shell of your circumstances?

I know I can relate to the bent and broken woman in Luke 13:10-17 and I bet you can, too.

Join me in this Podcast as I throw off all labels and lean fully into the limitless love of Jesus Christ.

You can email me any time at formerpastorwife@outlook.com and you can also follow me on FaceBook and Youtube, Lessons of a Former Pastor's Wife. 

In my own heart healing journey, I have recognized that my heart is extremely valuable and it is my responsibility alone to guard it with wisdom and not emotion. My heart is the “wellspring of my entire life.” If I don’t take the time to heal what has been broken, my heart will be corrupted and that will influence and spill out into every avenue of my life. I want to be known as a peace filled, loving and kind person. It is my desire to be a life giver to every person I meet, and I cannot do that if what is pouring out of me is poison that overflowed from the corruption I have harbored in my heart. I am daily trying to make myself conscious that this world is vile and corrupt, and my heart is constantly under attack by all I choose to think about and allow into my world. 

I hope my story has influenced you to go on your own heart healing journey. It is a trip only you can take for yourself. I pray you stay sober of mind and filled with the love and grace that comes from an intimate and life giving relationship with our Father through His loving son Jesus Christ. 

The scriptures I reference in this Podcast are:
Jeremiah 17:9 
Proverbs 4: 20-27
Matthew 12:34-37 
Philippians 4:4-9

In this last scripture Paul is giving us the guidebook to a healthy heart. 

Every time your brain starts swirling with fear and entitled anger I hope you remind yourself these things. 

1.      What is true in your life right now?

2.      What are the things in your life right now that are noble, right, pure, lovely and admirable?

3.      What are the things in your life today that are excellent and worth my praise?

If you need prayer or want to share your story with me of the struggle you have gone through and the healing God has brought, please email me at formerpastorwife@outlook.com.

Welcome back to my Podcast Lessons of a Former Pastor’s Wife. I’m your host Amy Kennedy and this is my story. I would love to hear your story if you are willing to share. Just email me at formerpastorwife@outlook.com and let me know how God has worked in your life. You can also email me if you need prayer. 

I continue my lesson on the Romans Road to Salvation in this podcast. 

The Scriptures I speak on are:
Romans 3:10
Romans 3:23
Romans 5:6-8
Romans 5:9-11
Romans 6:23
Romans 5:1
Romans 8:1
Galatians 5:13-26 
Romans 10:9-10 

I hope you understand that no one deserves the gift of salvation more than you or I do. It is a free gift that has already been paid through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. All you have to do is declare out loud that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God did raise him from the dead and you will be saved. Your life may not change right away, but the relationship you develop with the Lord will heal your heart and that will help your life change. 

If you have already accepted Jesus as your Savior but you have lost your faith, it’s important that you turn from your wicked, flesh desires back to the only one who can grant you the love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control you are searching for. These things will not be found by seeking for them through flesh gratification. Your flesh is literally only skin deep. Why are you passing up the lasting, deep things of God for these temporary, shallow experiences that will only lead to death? Why are you choosing flesh desires that don't last over the blessings of the Spirit of God, which last a lifetime and then for eternity?
