On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast I will be speaking about why the disasters we have seen recently are happening and what God is showing America through these. What is the Lord doing by allowing these no matter how much people pray? Indeed many know that something has changed and in fact, the changing of the seasons has come rather abruptly. Florida (and America as a whole) are being called to repentance. Are we hearing, seeing and getting the message or are we going to continue walking in rebellion as these instances begin to increase?

*Please note* -This is the long-form version of both parts 1 and 2 edited together with the interlude in between. Some have said they prefer listening to certain messages in the longform so as to not forget the first half and so that is what this is. Other than that it is the same content as presented when divided. This version is also in mono and slightly at a lower bitrate to compensate for the length for those on mobile devices so the file wasn't too large. Please note that a separate email will not be going out to announce this version and on the blog it will be found posted on the part two entry of the blog for this series.

In the first half; I will be talking about a dream I had and what the Lord showed me concerning stripping off the weights and running the race. I will be talking about walking through many attacks, tests and trials on the path to righteousness and sanctification. I will be presenting examples of how we overcome and even in seasons where it may seem God is silent, how we ought to react and what the Lord is expecting of us. In these seasons what is the Lord doing with our faith walk? What areas is He refining and why? Why does He allow us to go through such strenuous situations? How can and does God take a situation that seems next to near impossible and turn it around for His Glory?

In the second half; I will be speaking to the growing apathy and division. I will be bringing about conviction as to what it means to truly abide in the Lord, foundations and being found in Him when the storm arrives. I will also be speaking to a recent experience I had with the Lord as well as a brief Word He gave me in this experience. I will be speaking to what abiding is and that it's more than just saying we do. I will be speaking to the importance of praise and giving thanks. Additionally, I will be speaking to a dream I was shown about many being unprepared in the times to come, the ‘coming flood’ and the dangers of this and relating it back to what I have talked about, not only in the first half but also how it relates to many being more concerned with worldly matters than remaining in the Lord. Is our faith genuine or do we just say it is and behave otherwise? What does our behavior demonstrate? It is these questions and others I will be shining the light on in the second half of ‘Stripping Off The Weights.’
