Valarie Reynolds - God Is Within Her Podcast (2024)

16/02/2024

Good morning! I have some news to share.

Many of you know that I haven’t posted a podcast episode in quite a while I have had an internal struggle with whether to continue on after 3 years or put it on the shelf. What started off as a little hobby grew into something that only God could grow. For that, I am incredibly thankful.

However, I have made the very difficult decision to stop the podcast. I couldn’t put the words down as to why and, quite frankly, I struggled with major guilt with the decision. It wasn’t until my Pastor said in one of his sermons, “Don’t do out of obligation. Do because it’s out of faith and God’s calling for you.” — And that’s the struggle I was facing. I felt, if I continued, it would be purely out of obligation and not because God was calling me to it any longer.

We enter things for seasons, sometimes. This podcast was never meant to be permanent. And it has taken me a little while to be ok with the fact that I am not longer called to do it.

Some of you have asked if I’m doing ok. 🫶 I am doing well. My family is healthy. My marriage is wonderful. Life is going great. I still very much love Jesus with all of my heart and soul. I’m still up every morning spending time with Him. It’s just a new season; a season where I am learning to live in the moment, where my feet are. I’ve be less present on social and more present in real life. It’s a new, beautiful season.

I love each and every one of you. I pray that whatever seed was planted due to the podcast continues to grow. Continue to water that little seed and God will grow it to the strongest faith you have ever had! YOU are the secret sauce to a strong faith. Ask and you shall receive isn’t meant for physical possessions. It’s meant to serve as a reminder that is you ask God to meet you and grow your faith, HE WILL.

Keep pursuing Jesus!

When you’re facing a valley, it’s hard to keep moving forward. We feel lonely, forgotten, and like we are fighting the battle alone.

But I want to encourage you today. God will fight for you. You first need to be still in His presence, remembering He hasn’t forsaken you…and then you need to move!

In Exodus 14, the Israelites has just escaped Egypt. It looks like they were home free! Then they came to the Red Sea. And they felt trapped & cried out to God saying, “what have you done to us?!”

Then Moses says, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Then the Lord said, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to MOVE ON.” Then Moses parted the Red Sea and the Israelites passed through untouched and safe.

Are you facing your own version of the Red Sea? Have you cried out to God saying, “What have you done?!” Learn what you need to do from this story:
1- Be still in God’s presence. Remember He is God and you are not. He will fight for you. But you need to be still and know who He really is. Stop doubting His goodness.
2- Then, you get up and MOVE. You keep putting one foot in front of the other. You keep walking in your faith, even if it looks impossible. You don’t give up. You keep on going. Walk through that Red Sea. God made the way. You have to move.

(Thanks to my sweet friend Candy Creech for showing me the second part of this story ❤️)

God is the steering wheel, not the spare tire.

And so many of us have gotten this mixed up. It’s not that we don’t believe in God or we reject Him. We just approach Him in the wrong way. We keep God in our back pocket to use “only in case of emergency.”

Facing deep heartache? We call out to God! That anxiety and overwhelming becoming too much to handle? God, help! Hitting rock bottom? God, save me!

But when those are the only times we think of God or those are the only times we open our Bibles or pray fervently, then we are missing the point.

God is not the emergency exit plan.
God is the ENTIRE plan!

God is our compass. He should be the captain of your ship! He should be the CEO your business. He should be your best friend you talk to all day. He should woven in and out of your day, every day. Every thought. Every decision. Every breath.

Life is hard. And it’s exhausting to steer your own ship. Lucky for us as believers, we don’t have to. He establishes our steps. Our part is to let go and let Him steer.

As I was writing in my prayer journal this morning, I wrote down my same sentence I write most mornings.

“Dear Lord, thank you for another day of life and thank you for the steps you already have put ahead of me.”

And then, out of nowhere, the liar snuck into my thoughts and whispered into my thoughts, “but are God’s steps 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 going to be best for you? What if today disaster happens? What if today goes terribly wrong? Will you still be thankful then?”

Honestly, it made me think. I want to say YES! Absolutely! Today is the day the Lord has made! I will REJOICE AND BE GLAD! Because I’m a strong Christian who doesn’t ever fall for the devil’s schemes.

But I’m human. And, in all transparency, I doubted I would be fully trusting if something bad did happen today. I probably wouldn’t be. More than likely, I would be full do worry and probably have some resentful mixed in. But then God reminded me of James 2-3 when it says to consider it 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙟𝙤𝙮 when you face trials of many kinds because the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And perseverance leads to your faith being mature and complete, lacking nothing.

So my answer, devil? ABSOLUTELY GOD’S STEPS ARE BEST! Even if they’re not comfortable in the moment, I’m being test and matured in my faith. And for that, I will consider if pure joy.

Most of us started our “side-gig” because we could use some extra money at the end of the month to breathe easier, right?!

Ain’t nothing wrong with that, sis!

But we cross a line when we begin to agree with the lie that more money will “fix” other problems like our marriage, our confidence, our broken identity, or fill the void in our hearts.

Those are spiritual problems. And physical solutions, like money, cannot fix spiritual problem. Only spiritual solutions can fix spiritual problems. And as a Kingdom entrepreneur, your only spiritual solution is God.

Money is a powerful and beautiful resource. But it needs to stay in that category, as a resource only. It’s there to pay bills, put food on the table, put gas in your car, pay for the kid’s soccer season. It’s not there to comfort you, protect you, make you feel worthy, make you more confident, or even bring you joy & peace.

God is the only God of peace.
God is the only fulfilling source of joy.
God is the only one who established your worth & identity long before you were ever born.

God is your solution to fill that emptiness and mend that pain inside your heart. Seek after Him just as much, if not more, as you do those rank ups & bonuses. Because you can earn those and still feel the void. Trust me. I have personal experience with that.

Have you heard of or maybe even have practiced manifesting and law of attraction? Do you read your horoscopes and believe your zodiac sign somehow really does affect your personality?

Well, in today’s podcast episode, my sweet friend and I shed some light on these topics and reveal just how unbiblical they truly are. Yep! We are going there!

We chat about the law of attraction and this popular buzzword “manifesting”. How it appears to be good. How even Christians will justify it by claiming it’s the same as prayer. But once the veneer is removed and we remember that even the devil him selves disguises himself as an angel of light, we realize that it goes against what the word of God says.

We chat about astrology, zodiac signs, and horoscopes. How these are not as innocent and fun as we believe them to be. And how we should only allow God to impress our identity and personality onto us because we are His children.

I pray you come to this episode with open ears and a softened heart. Darkness cannot exist when light enters the room. And the true root of these practices are revealed when you test them against the word of God.

Control what you can control.
And give what you can’t control back to God.

I know you want to believe you’re superwoman, but you’re not. You weren’t created to carry all the burden & being full of overwhelming worry that doesn’t do anything to restore the situation.

“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” ~ Psalms‬ ‭55:22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” ~ 1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Your job is to be the best steward of your day, today. Show up well. Work & give your best with an attitude that reflects God well. Be kind and compassionate. Living a life worthy of the gospel.

Your job is not to worry to the point of crippling anxiety, critical resentment, envy, negativity, complaining or overwhelming sorrow. Can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? (Matthew 6:27)

Can any one of you worry so much that you eventually fix everything? (The Valarie Translation)

Control what you can control.
Then know God & His character so deeply that you it’s easy to fully trust His has everything else under control. That is is true to His word when He says He is working all things together for the good of those who love Him! ❤️ (Romans 8:28)

None of us can do a better job than God. So stop trying to.

Sometimes, we will hit days when the overwhelm feels stronger than our faith. Worry is looking like a yelling and taunting Goliath while you’re feeling like a weak and tiny Israelite.

You begin to let the taunts win over your mind and you become paralyzed in fear and doubt rather than living confidently in God’s truth.

Do not let the enemy win, today!

God blessed you with another beautiful day of life! Are you going to waste it by doing nothing while the devil laughs, thinking he has won?

This is the day the LORD has made, not the devil. The Lord fully controls today! And as His child, His disciple, you have one job today: be a good steward of it.

That means God has made you responsible for your day and you have a choice to make: will I waste it wallowing in my fears & doubts? Or will I show the devil he isn’t winning this fight because I am a child of God and He has no authority over me to dictate my choices!

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” ~ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:34‬ ‭NIV‬‬

You are in charge of today and today only. Live it will and for the glory of God.

God is the potter.
Everything else in creation is the clay.
Only the potter can shape the clay.
The clay cannot shape more clay.

So when we believe that the month we were born or how the stars are aligned in the sky somehow have power and authority to dictate who I am, that’s believing the clay can shape clay.

Know who God created you to be. Know what His Holy Spirit produces in you: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control (Galatians 5). Know you can be a person of peace because God is peace. Know you were created for good works because you are God’s handiwork (Eph. 2:10). Know your were NOT given a spirit of fear or timidity but of power and a sound mind!

Do not be an agreement with anything else that contradicts who God says you are. Your “sign” might tell you you’re impatient, but God says you are patient because of the Holy Spirit. Your “sign” but say you’re lustful, but God says you have self-control and a sound mind. Your “sign” might say your combative, but God says your gentle and kind. Your “sign” might say your gossipy, but God says to control your tongue and gossip is sin. It would be against God’s nature to create a personality trait that caused sin because He Himself cannot create sin!

Know. Who. You. Are. In. Christ. And. Christ. Alone. 👏🏼 God assigned who you are. And that should be your only measure of who you are.

Anything else that tells you opposite of what God says is a lie and we do not come into agreement with lies or the father of lies.

I know it’s easy to worry. Life is full of “what ifs” and “how will this turn out?” And in this moment right now as you are reading this, you might not feel like there is a lot to be grateful for. Things aren’t how you wanted them to be. Others seem to have exactly what you want. So we get bitter. We get resentful. We get jealous. And we just keep digging into worry deeper and deeper.

Friends, not only does worry do nothing to fix the circumstance…but worry is also sin. It’s a distrust in God’s plan for your life…and it’s idolatry of ourselves. That somehow our plans are better than God’s and if God had just let our plans happen, everything would be fine!

We worry when God feels too slow. We worry when God feels too fast & we can’t keep up. We worry when we are surprised by a detour. Our worry distorts how we are meant to see God: as GOD! Omniscient (all-knowing), Omnipresent (always present), Omnipotent (all-powerful), Sovereign Creator of the Universe who never lies, always works things for the good of those who love Him, Who controls space and time, and Who never leaves us and forsakes us!

Worry gives us a view that somehow God messed up with our cards dealt to us, and He never does that.

So rebuke your worry. It’s the enemy trying to separate you from God. And choose to rejoice in God regardless of the circumstance you’re facing. ❤️

Repeat after me: I WILL NOT COMPARE MYSELF TODAY.

I WILL NOT COMPARE MYSELF TO THE POINT OF DISCOURAGEMENT, TODAY.

I will not compare the stage of life I’m in to someone else.

I will not compare my circumstance to someone else’s.

I will not compare my marriage to someone else’s.

I will not compare my job to someone else’s.

I will not compare my gifts and talents to someone else’s.

I will not compare my body to someone else’s.

I will not compare my income to someone else’s.

I will not compare my prayer life to someone else’s.

Today, I choose to see the blessings and beauty God chose to place in MY life! I will be grateful for even the tiniest little detail in MY life! Because God entrusted me with THIS life, not someone else’s. That means I’m fully equipped and perfect to fulfilled THIS purpose. So I choose to be a good steward of what I have been given, in the name of Jesus. I chose to bring Him glory with my thoughts and actions today. ❤️ I will not allow discouragement to keep on on the sidelines of inaction today.

Amen

I am guilty of only picking my Bible up when I was at rock bottom, when I just couldn’t give anymore, when my tank was on empty, when I was more than overwhelmed & anxious. When I didn’t have anywhere else to turn, I would turn to the Bible.

But my entire life, from my confidence, my peace, my anxiety, my energy, my attitude, has totally flourished and transformed once I decide to stop making the Bible my spare tire and started making it my steering wheel!

“God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one can resist God’s Word. We can’t get away from it—no matter what.” ▪️Hebrews‬ ‭4:12-13‬ ‭MSG‬‬

I know you have a busy schedule. I know you are afraid you won’t understand it. I know you don’t know where to start. But aren’t you also sick & tired of feeling like your life is being held up by duck tape, ready to fall apart again in five minutes? Aren’t you stuck and tired of the constantly war in your mind that you’re not good enough, capable, worthy, loved? Aren’t you sick & tired of living life on full complaining, grumbling, resentful, and angry mode?

There is freedom in Christ and in God’s word! And you’ll experience it once you start taking those first steps and you decide today, God’s word will be the director of your steps.

Trust me. It’s life-changing. 💕

I know you’re praying hard, sis.
I know you’re reading that Bible.
And I know you will feel like you’re barely keeping your head above water.

KEEP 👏🏼 ON 👏🏼 GOING

The Word of God is your sword! Keep sharpening it! It will protect you! Keep on praying! God does hear your prayers! He will protect you!

Every time you open the Word, you grow an obstacle between you and the devil. And if you’re just now starting to get serious about the Word, that obstacle is the size of a speed bump. It might not block the enemy totally, but it’s slowing him down. The more to read, the more to study, the more you pray, the more cast your cares to God, the bigger that speed bump will become!

And eventually, it will be a massive mountain 🏔 that you have built up between you and the devil! And he is going to have to do some major climbing to try to get to your heart!

Keep fighting the good fight, sis. God is proud of you. And so am I. 😘

The enemy wants to make you feel like an exception.

God blesses everyone except me.
God gave passion to everyone except me.
God gave people the desire to read the Bible except me.
God protects everyone except me.
God gave spiritual wisdom to everyone except me.
God uses everyone for His Kingdom except me.
God gave everyone purpose except me.

But the Bible says:

Luke‬ ‭19:10‬‬ - “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” • No exceptions here

James 1:17 - “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” • No mentioned exceptions here

Psalm 18:10 - “As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields 𝓪𝓵𝓵 who take refuge in him.” • No exceptions here either

Proverbs 2:5-6 - ““if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.” • No exceptions here

The enemy wants you to feel left out, forgotten, and the exception because he doesn’t want you to remember the weapons you have at your disposal! He wants you to forget the resurrection power inside of you, forget you have access to a shield that protects you from his framing arrows, and especially from that sharp sword in your Bible that you can use to make him run in the opposite direction all in the name of Jesus!

You are not forgotten about. You have his been in agreement with the lies. Break that agreement, get angry at the devil for trying to keep you there, and take steps towards God and His freeing truth!

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐈𝐬 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭! 👇🏼

We try to fight spiritual battles in our relationships with physical weapons. And those physical weapons include: yelling, screaming, arguing, sarcastic remarks, resentment, passive aggressiveness, gossip, the silent treatment, a you-hurt-me-I-hurt-you mentality.

LISTEN - your spouse is not the enemy. Your mother-in-law isn’t the enemy. Your boss isn’t the enemy. The person on social media isn’t the enemy.

As believers, we have ONE ENEMY and His name is Satan and we don’t give him enough credit for the division, worry, discord, anxiety, frustration and everything else that gets thrown at us as spiritual distractions day in and day out.

Instead of blaming the devil, we blame our spouse. Instead of fighting the devil, we fight in the comments section.
Instead to fighting your spouse, pray for your spouse! Instead of fighting in the comments, pray!

Now, there are plenty of times we reap the consequences of our sins and decisions. But I also firmly believe there are plenty of times we fight in the physical and don’t bother to ever get angry at the one who’s main mission is to steal, kill, and destroy your faith and life.

Be aware of his schemes and before you fight in the physical, ask yourself if you’re blaming someone when you really should be blaming Satan.

Fight the REAL enemy! And fight with prayer not screaming.
