Faith Talks with Emily Preston

Becky suffered for years from an incurable digestive disorder where her body would violently reject almost everything she would try to eat or drink.

But then Becky found out about her authority in Christ and that healing was already hers and SHE began to violently reject the symptoms and lies of the enemy! ❌

Be encouraged by this powerful testimony! 🥰👇🏼

Becky writes:

Dear Emily

I mostly wanted to say thank you to you for your faith talks ministry and for your podcasts that have bought such healing joy.

My story started over 4 years ago where my body started to randomly reject food and make me sick. It started with fats and oils where I couldn't tolerate fatty foods. I stopped eating anything with fat or oil and it settled down. However after a few months I began being unwell again - upset stomach, extreme constant nausea, vomiting and extreme tiredness. So I stopped dairy, then gluten, then meat, nuts, sugar, oats, soy, fruit.... the cycle continued like this with dropping food - getting better, then starting again.

Whilst going through this tough food battle, I continued to be a mum to our three beautiful children, a school chaplain and serve at our church and where I could to help share Jesus with others - while battling constant hunger and chronic tummy pain, nausea and fatigue - it was tough.

I had people praying for me and also pursued many doctors and natural remedies. Dr's had no answers and eventually I was put on a special formula to help with the weight loss and limited diet.

In October last year I was at my lowest - I felt horrible and I had reached the end of the road with medical help - no one had any answers and I had no where else to go.

My diet was so minimal and it was also impacting the ones I loved so much - our family could not go out together for a meal, we could not go on proper holidays and if we did I would spend weeks pre baking everything to freeze and take with us, I could not have a takeaway treat or meal out with my husband and my mum couldn't bake me a birthday cake or treat like she always did. I had to spend hours cooking extra meals and baking my own bread from scratch and spending money on supplements and remedies. I faced daily nausea, indigestion, upset stomach, I had a dizzy head, anxiety, panic feelings and drained weariness as well as constant gnawing hunger.

At this low point I had the opportunity as part of my chaplain role to take on just for a term teaching indigenous children that were part of our school, but whose campuses were not on it so would involve some weekly travel. I decided to use that time to completely commit to praying for healing and also to listen to your podcast.

I began with your teachings and listened intently - at first just absorbing and then as the weeks passed I began in that little car on these journeys to put into practise what was being revealed to my spirit. I began to "speak" to my mountain. It began in my head, then a whisper in the car, then out loud and finally a loud "scream". The three hour round trip every Monday involved crying, praying, worshiping and most importantly speaking the words "I am healed". I even began putting the windows down and letting the cows and sheep hear the good news too!

I also began to bridle my tongue and whilst on the inside I still felt terrible, when the kind friends and colleagues asked how i was I said with confidence "doing really well - God is good". I also cancelled all the Dr's appointments and stopped taking the supplements and just believed that I was healed in the name of Jesus.

Finally - I got angry - I got angry that I was not having the body that Jesus died on the cross to give me - It was not right and it needed to stop.

One of the last "attacks" I had was when I trialled a piece of chocolate. It would usually give me a horrible stomach the next day. On this Friday night I had a small bite (that was all) of cherry ripe in faith one night. The next day (at my daughter's dance concert) I was stuck once again in the bathroom - but this time instead of giving in to the "here we go again" that I had experienced so many times - I got angry - I told satan to leave my body and that it was over and done and enough! That was the last time I ever had a reaction from chocolate! I was free. What had once given my so much pain was gone.

That anger continued as I fought any symptoms that continued to sneak in and the battle was tough and the voices in my head were very loud "If you eat this you know it will make you sick it always does" and when a symptom came the next day I told it to leave and I continued to to declare my healing, cast out those voices - so by Christmas day December of 2023 I was eating with my family again and in Jan 2024 we had our first meal out together eating steak and chips and pizza.

It had been 4 years since It started and 6 powerful months of discovering my healing.

It has now been another 6 months and I am still feeling complete joy and freedom in every delicious bite of food and every opportunity to share my healing testimony.

I still declare my healing and take communion and if myself or my family have a cold or anything else we take authority over it and claim our healing. It's still a journey and a battle but God is faithful and we have the victory.

Thank you Emily for your part in this story and this journey - I share your podcast with anyone I can and am so so thankful.
Blessings on your ministry and life for Jesus and His glory.

Amen - to God be the Glory.
Becky

You will never see a world-champion fighter run at his opponent blindly with arms flailing, hoping to land a punch. 🤜🏼

No, a champion fighter knows his opponent. 🤨

He has studied his opponent’s moves closely and knows exactly how he must fight in order to defeat his opponent and defend his title.🥇

When the fighter steps into the ring, he gets into an intimidating fighting stance and begins to place intentional, well-aimed and effective blows on his opponent. 🤜🏼

He does this repeatedly, for however long it takes, until the match is over. 🏆

We are in the fight of faith, and 1 Corinthians 9:26 tells us that we DO NOT fight as one beating the air. 💨

We do not fight the good fight of faith blindly with flailing arms, throwing aimless punches and hoping something hits. 😮‍💨

Instead, we take our stance boldly in front of our opponent - whether it’s sickness, lack, relationship problems, depression or anxiety, or anything that’s trying to steal our “title”- and make intentional, well-aimed and effective “blows”. 👊🏼

🤜🏼 We remind our adversary that he IS defeated and that he cannot touch us - and place a well-aimed blow (Lk 10:19)

🤜🏼 We use the name of Jesus and command that “knee” to bow - and place a well-aimed blow. (Phil 2:10)

🤜🏼 We speak to the situation (mountain) and command it to move - and place a well-aimed blow. (Mt 17:20)

🤜🏼 We declare the promises of God and call things that be not as though they WERE (body, you ARE healed, I HAVE peace and not anxiety, I HAVE abundance and no lack) - and place a well-aimed blow. (Rom 4:17)

🤜🏼 We cast down every lie and suggestion from the enemy and replace it with the Word - and place a well-aimed blow. (2 Cor 10:5)

🤜🏼 We praise God that we already have the victory and that we are triumphant overcomers - and place a well-aimed blow. (2 Cor 2:14)

We use precise, intentional, well-aimed, and CONSISTENT strategy to hit our adversary hard and keep him in his place - totally and utterly defeated. 💪🏼🥇☝🏼

Could the reason that we’re not seeing breakthrough be an inch under our nose? 🫢

We almost lost our daughter except that I learned this vital principle in the nick of time! 🙏🏼

Watch our testimony and learn one of THE MOST important revelations we can have as believers…

Life AND death are in the power of OUR (not God’s!) tongue. (Prov 18:21) ❤️

When our daughter Virginia Grace was born prematurely at 24 weeks' gestation, I suddenly had to put into practice everything I'd learned my whole life about ...

09/05/2024

Ever wished you could 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬? 🙏🏼

You may have read a scripture such as Matthew 14:36 which says, “As many as touched Him (Jesus) were made whole”…

And thought, “If only Jesus would come back to earth, then I could touch Him and be made whole too!” 😩

Good news!

We may not be able to touch Jesus’ physical body, but we can still touch Jesus by touching 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃. (Jn 1:14) 📖

And we can get the same results the people who touched Jesus did by touching The Word! 🥰

But this “touch” isn’t simply a gentle tap.👆🏼

The word “touched” used in Matthew 14 is the Greek word 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘪, which means “to lay hold of, fasten or cling to, to attach oneself to.” (Strong’s)🪢

It gives the picture of fervently taking hold of something known to have immense value, as demonstrated by a woman, weak with pain and blood loss, who crawled on her hands and knees through a trampling crowd to 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇 the hem of Jesus’ garment. (Matt 9:20) 🤜🏼

It literally means to “touch someone or something in such a way that it 𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌.” ↩️

And the way we “touch” Jesus is by laying hold of, fastening ourselves to, clinging to, and attaching ourselves to 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃. 📖

We lay hold of the Word with our mouth by finding out what The Word says about us and confessing (agreeing with) it. (Rom 10:8)🗣️

We fasten ourselves to the Word by casting down every thought or suggestion that doesn’t agree with the Word (2 Cor 10:5) 💭🟰📖

We cling to the Word by not being moved by what we see, hear, or feel and refusing to speak the problem. (2 Cor 4:18, Js 1:26)🤐

We attach ourselves to the Word by giving it our full attention, listening to it, speaking it, and meditating on it. (Prov 4:20-22) 😇

And if we will esteem The Word as so valuable and precious that we won’t let anything hinder us from clinging to it constantly - it will 𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐔𝐒. ↩️

↩️ It will alter our bodies from sick to healed.
↩️ It will alter our relationships from broken to whole.
↩️ It will alter our finances from poverty to abundance.
↩️ It will alter our emotions from turmoil to peace.

Touch Jesus - touch 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃 - and you will made WHOLE. 🥰

Guys, I’d love your help!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’m putting together a new podcast series called “The Truth About Tests, Trials, Suffering, and Persecution” and I’d love to cover any questions you may have or statements you may have heard.

For example:

- If God leads you to it, He’ll lead you through it.
- Suffering is part of our lives as Christian…but what is the suffering of the believer?
- All who live godly lives will suffer persecution…but what IS persecution if God says that no evil will befall us, no weapon formed against us shall prosper etc?
- God allows us to go through things to prepare us for bigger challenges.
- God allowed us to go through that season because it brought us closer to Him.
- God tests and tries our faith to produce patience in us.

Etc, etc, etc 😁

What statements have you heard? What questions do you have? Comment below or DM me.

I’ll be digging into the Word to answer these and more in my upcoming series!

Emily ❤️

30/04/2024

Paul’s thorn in the flesh is one of the most controversial subjects in the Bible, and is almost always used not only to justify suffering in the Christian life, but prove that God wants us to endure suffering. 😰

So let’s let the Bible interpret the Bible to give us a deeper understanding of what was really going on between God and Paul when it came to his thorn in the flesh.🧐

(It’s a bit of a long read, but totally worth it! 😉)

Firstly, Paul himself identifies his thorn in the flesh as a “messenger of Satan sent to buffet me.” (2 Cor 12:7) 👿

So right away we know that the source of the thorn was Satan, not God, and that it was sent because of the abundance of revelation that Paul was receiving. (Vs 7)💡

Not only was Paul preaching the gospel to the farthest corners of the known world, he was also writing letters to the churches teaching them his staggering revelation of God’s GRACE - that we’ve been made righteous, not because of our performance but because of the finished works of Jesus, and that we have been redeemed from the curse of the law of sin and death - the law that kept people in bo***ge to sin. (Rom 3:22, 8:2) ✝️

Paul was also teaching the church about our astounding position - seated with Christ Jesus far above the devil and his ranks of power, and our assignment - to reign in life as kings through Christ Jesus! (Eph 1:21, 2:6, Rom 5:17)👑

Of course Satan couldn’t have that! So he assigned to Paul a demonic spirit to “buffet” him - to “mistreat violently, torment, and treat harshly.” (Strong’s) 👿

And Paul called this spirit a “thorn in the flesh”.

So what exactly was this infamous thorn, this demonic messenger? Was it sickness? Disease?

Again, let’s let scripture interpret scripture. 📖

The phrase “thorn in the flesh” is used three other times in the Bible - in Numbers 33:55, Joshua 23:13, and Judges 2:3. And every time it’s used to describe PEOPLE. 👥

Irritating, antagonistic, hostile, violent PEOPLE.😤😠😡

In a word - PERSECUTION.🤬

The demonic messenger assigned to Paul would follow him wherever he went, stirring up the people to torment, violently mistreat, and harshly PERSECUTE him, in the attempt to discourage him, hinder him, and eventually, shut him up! 🤐

And because nobody likes to be persecuted for doing good, Paul did what so many of us still do - He pleaded with God to make it go away.😭🙏🏼

Jesus has redeemed us from a multitude of things, but do you know that we are not redeemed from persecution? That’s because we are not redeemed from other people’s thoughts and opinions and behaviour toward us. 💭

In 2 Timothy 3:12 God warns us that, “All who live godly in Christ will suffer persecution.”

When believers take a stand for righteousness and truth and for living the overcoming life God intended for us to live, people are going to hate us, talk badly about us, abuse us, get offended at us, and maybe even try to get physically violent with us - that’s persecution. 😤😡

This persecution is not a personal attack on us, it comes for THE WORD’s sake. (Mark 4:17) 📖

And the root cause of persecution is still the same as it was in Paul’s case - people are still being stirred up by the only one who can’t have people hearing the Word and getting revelation of the truth that will make them free - THE DEVIL. (2 Cor 4:4, Eph 2:2)👿

But in His great love for us, God has given us the GRACE to endure this persecution. 😇

And Paul knew this.

Paul himself was the one that had the revelation that we do not wrestle with flesh and blood - or that people are not the source of our problems. (Eph 6:12) 👿

Paul is the one who wrote, “If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Rom 8:31) 🙏🏼

Paul is the one who wrote that NOTHING - including persecution - can separate us from the love of Christ, but that in all these things we are more than conquerors through Christ! (Rom 8:35-37) 💪🏼

Paul is the one who wrote, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” (Phil 4:13) ✝️

And Paul is the one who wrote to the Romans and urged them to “Bless those who PERSECUTE you: Bless and do not curse…” (12:14)🙏🏼

Paul had a revelation of God’s GRACE! 😇

That’s why God lovingly reminded Paul: “My GRACE is sufficient for you!” (2 Cor 12:9) ❤️

In other words, “Paul, you know that I’ve already given you more than enough grace to handle this - you just have to use what you have!” 📖

Then God says, “For my power is made perfect (complete) in weakness.”💥

God was more or less saying, “Paul, your natural flesh might want to give up and quit, but that’s where you can let MY power take over! My SUPER-natural strength, ability, and might will more than make up for your weaknesses! (12:9) 🙌🏼

After receiving this powerful encouragement from God, Paul could then confidently say, “I therefore delight in difficulties, hardships, persecutions, and insults, for when I am weak (in my natural ability) I am strong (in the Lord and in the power of His might!) (2 Cor 12:10, Eph 6:10)💪🏼💥

And despite the persecutions, stonings, whippings and shipwrecks, nothing and nobody was able to deter Paul from completing his assignment - to preach the good news of God’s grace to the nations. 🌎

And finally one day, Paul declared, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith,” and when he was good and ready, he departed to be with his beloved Saviour whom he had served so faithfully. (2 Tim 4:7) ✝️

The story of Paul’s thorn is not justification for suffering through sickness, disease, affliction, tragedy, poverty, or emotional trauma - we have been REDEEMED from these things through the broken body and blood of Jesus. (Gal 3:13) ✝️

It’s a reminder of the grace God has made abundantly available to all who will believe. (Rom 4:16) 🙏🏼

❤️By His grace He has redeemed us and cleansed us from sin FOREVER. (Heb 10:14)
❤️By His grace He has healed us, delivered us, and freed us from the results of sin. (Gal 3:13)
❤️By His grace He has given us authority over all of the power of the enemy - over the Stealer, Killer and Destroyer. (Lk 10:19, Jn 10:10)
❤️By His grace He has given us His Spirit to dwell in us - His power, might, and ability. (Acts 1:8)
❤️By His grace He has given us His Word - our great and precious promises by which we ESCAPE the corruption in the world. (2 Pt 1:3-4)
❤️By His grace He has already made us more than conquerors, overcomers, and victorious. (Rom 8:37, 1 Jn 4:4, 5:4)

And when it comes to persecution:

❤️By His grace He loved us first so that we can in turn love others. (1 Jn 4:9)
❤️By His grace He forgave us first so that we can in turn forgive our enemies and people who persecute us. (Eph 4:32)
❤️By His grace, we too can fight the good fight, finish our race, and keep the faith. (1 Tim 6:12)

God’s grace is STILL sufficient for us!

Have you ever noticed that when it comes to the promises of God, He never says “sometimes, maybe, occasionally, once-in-a-while, maybe, almost-all, or perhaps”? ☺️

Let me show you what I mean 👇🏼

✅ lsaiah 54:17 - NO weapon formed against you shall prosper, and EVERY tongue that rises against you in judgement, you shall condemn.

✅ Psalm 103:3 - Bless the Lord, O my soul…He has forgiven ALL my sins and healed ALL my diseases…

✅ Psalm 91:10-12 - NO evil shall befall you, nor shall ANY plague come near you.

✅ Matthew 16:19 - I have given you the keys to the kingdom of Heaven, and WHATEVER you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and WHATEVER you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.

✅ Luke 10:19 - I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over ALL of the power of the enemy, and NOTHING shall by ANY means will harm you.

✅ 2 Peter 1:2 - His divine power has given us EVERYTHING that pertain to life and godliness…

✅ Ephesians 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with EVERY spiritual blessing…

✅ 2 Corinthians 9:8 - My God has made ALL grace abound toward you, so that in ALL things and at ALL times, having ALL that you need, you will abound to EVERY good work.

✅ John 16:13 - When the spirit of truth comes He will guide you into ALL truth…

✅ Psalm 34:19 - The righteous man may have many troubles but the Lord delivers him from them ALL.

God’s will is perfectly represented through the ministry of Jesus - and Jesus healed them ALL. (Matthew 15:30, John 14:9)💯

Don’t let religion, other people’s experiences, or the traditions of men put an *asterix* on the promises of God! *️⃣

God does not change like shifting shadows. He doesn’t lie, and He doesn’t change His mind! (Js 1:17, Num 23:19)⚖️

He doesn’t show favouritism or partiality - if He’s healed/delivered/saved ONE, that’s His will for ALL. (Acts 10:34) ❤️

The more we renew our minds to the True Nature of God, who we are in Christ, and EVERYTHING God has given us by His grace, the more we can extend our faith to receive God’s best in EVERY area of our lives! (Rom 12:2) 🙌🏼

When it comes to His promises, God is an ALL and NOTHING God! ⚫️⚪️

The other day I watched a video of Israel’s Iron Dome in operation, which is the nation’s mobile missile defense system designed to intercept rocket and drone attacks from enemy forces. 🚀

In the video, enemy missiles that had been fired at an Israeli city were intercepted by the artillery of the Iron Dome and blown into pieces high above the city before they could reach their target and cause any death or destruction.💥

Did you know that God has given us our very own Iron Dome of protection? 🙏🏼

God’s Iron Dome is designed to intercept the fiery darts of the enemy and blow them to pieces before they are able to cause any death or destructing in our lives.💥

Our Iron Dome is the blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus, angelic forces, and the Word of God spoken by us. 🩸✝️🪽📖

And the way we activate our Iron Dome of protection is with our mouth. (Rom 10:9)🗣️

Every day we cover ourselves, our family, our property, and our nation with the blood of Jesus by declaring what the blood accomplished for us (divine peace, divine protection, divine health, divine life). (Rev 12:11)🩸

Every day, we assign the angels to encamp around our children, our property, and everywhere our foot shall tread. (Ps 34:7)🪽

Every day, we declare aloud the promises from the Word of God that are our guarantee of Divine protection (such as Psalm 91). (2 Cor 1:20)📖

Every day, we remind the enemy that he is defeated and that he has no right to touch us or anything that belongs to us in the Name of Jesus. (Col 2:15) 🗣️✝️

Then, we intercept every fiery dart of the enemy using the artillery of our Iron Dome….

When the devil bombards us with thoughts of fear for our safety or the safety of our family, we intercept every one with, “No devil, you cannot touch us in Jesus’ name! No evil befalls me or my family! The blood of Jesus paid for our protection! (2 Cor 10:5, Ps 91:10)💥

And every attempt from the enemy to cause death and destruction in our lives will be smashed to pieces.💥

The “weapons” may form against us, but if we condemn (intercept) the tongues (fiery darts/thoughts and suggestions of the enemy) that try to rise against us in judgement, they WILL NOT PROSPER. (Isaiah 54:17)💥

That’s GOOD NEWS! 🙌🏼🙏🏼

~ Whoever listens to me (and does what I say) will live in safety, at peace, without fear of harm. (Prov. 1:33, Js 1:22)

💪🏼 Resist the sickness and it WILL flee from you.
💪🏼 Resist the disease and it WILL flee from you.
💪🏼 Resist the depression and it WILL flee from you.
💪🏼 Resist the lack and it WILL flee from you.
💪🏼 Resist the unforgiveness and it WILL flee from you.
💪🏼 Resist the marital strife and it WILL flee from you.
💪🏼 Resist the anxiety and it WILL flee from you.
💪🏼 Resist the demonic influence and it WILL flee from you.

Don’t talk about it, analyse it, think about it, Google it, discuss it, worry about it… 🤐

RESIST IT. 💪🏼

In the Greek, the word “resist” literally means, “to take a complete 180° opposite position to, to hold one’s ground, to refuse to be moved.” (Strong’s)

How do we resist the devil?

Just like Jesus did - with IT IS WRITTEN…

We take the promises from the Word and declare them right in the face of the problem. 🗣️📖

We take a complete 180° opposite position to, hold our ground and we REFUSE TO BE MOVED by what we see, hear, or feel from the problem. 🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏼‍♂️

And we KEEP resisting the devil until he has fled! 💨

It takes persistence, but the devil CANNOT withstand our resistance!

Resist the devil (problem) and he HAS TO flee from you! (James 4:7)

When the devil tries to tell you, “I’m not worthy”, you remind him that, “God MADE ME WORTHY!” 🥰🙏🏼

20/12/2023

Maybe I’m not confessing the Word enough? 😰
Maybe I’m not fasting enough?😰
Maybe I haven’t forgiven someone? 😰
Maybe I should go to that healing crusade or listen to more testimonies or get more people to pray for me…? 😰

We’ve all been there! 😩

What do we do when we’re doing all we know to do and still not seeing anything change? 😑

We need to know MORE! 💭

That is, we need to hear from God! ❤️

In James 1:2-5 God encourages us that we can count it all joy when we face various trials - and one of the reasons we can be joyful is because if we lack wisdom (for how to get through the trial) we can simply ask Him and He will give it to us generously! (Vs 5) 🥰

Our loving Heavenly Father wants us to walk in victory over the challenges of life more than we want to, and because He sees the end from the beginning He knows exactly where the adjustment needs to be made! ⤴️

All we have to do is say, “Lord, I’m doing all I know to do, please show me where I’m missing it!” 🙏🏼

Then, every time we’re tempted to try to analyse what WE are or aren’t doing right, we simply say, “Lord, thank you for your wisdom”. 🙏🏼

The answer WILL come, because God promises that He will give us the wisdom we need and give it to us generously. 😇

And when you get that word from Him not only will it will bring you instant peace, it will be the key to your breakthrough! 🗝️

Does your situation look impossible or immovable? 😰

I have some Good News! 🥳

In Jeremiah 23:29 God promises, “Is not my Word like a fire...like a HAMMER that SMASHES the rock into pieces?”

God’s Word is a hammer! 🔨

And God’s Word will smash any “rock” - any impossible or immovable-looking situation - into pieces! 🙌🏼

So HOW do we “hammer” the problem with God’s Word? 🔨

By SPEAKING God’s Word to it - and speaking it CONSISTENTLY and DELIBERATELY. (Mk 11:23)🗣️

By applying frequent, constant blows of, “It is WRITTEN…!” 📖

If it’s a health “rock”, we hammer the symptoms consistently and deliberately with, “By the stripes of Jesus I WAS healed!” (1 Pet 2:24)

If it’s a financial “rock”, we hammer that situation consistently and deliberately with, “ALL my needs are met in Jesus’ name!” (Phil 4:19)

If it’s a depression or anxiety “rock”, we hammer it consistently and deliberately with, “I do not have a spirit of fear, I have power, love, and a SOUND MIND!” (2 Tim 1:7)

It doesn’t matter what “rock” is hindering you, it WILL smash into pieces with a CONSISTENT, DELIBERATE hammering from the spoken Word of God! 🗣️

Go pick up your hammer! 💪🏼📖🔨
