Brave Hearted Ministry

Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, Last week, I shared 10 benefits when drawing closer to God. Today, I am sharing how you can effectively write down your lifestyle changes. Have you thought about making some lifestyle changes? Are you pursuing them to the fullest? The Bible says in Habakkuk 2:3 to write down the vision. In today's case, our vision is our lifestyle changes.  I have heard people say, "I had a lifestyle change(s) for a short time or a long time now, and the excuses have held me back from achieving that change(s)." Today, I am encouraging you to pursue your lifestyle change(s) while removing all the excuses (e.g., too young, too old, don't have the funds, don't have the strength, lack of passion, lack of motivation, people's opinion, etc.) and give it everything you've got towards finally achieving your lifestyle change(s). Lifestyle includes any choice(s) or action(s) you make that influence your life in the slightest way. Lifestyle changes are t...

Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, Here is a downloadable reference 10 benefits when drawing closer to God.

Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, Last week, I shared 7 ways to put God first and at the center of our lives as Brave Hearted Steppers. Today, I am sharing 10 benefits when you draw closer to God as Brave Hearted Steppers, and He will draw closer to you. I looked up the definition of drawing close, which means moving towards, coming close, or approaching. That is what God wants us to do daily to move towards His presence (Psalm 24:3-4), to come close to Him, and He will come close to you (James 4:8), and to approach His throne with confidence (Hebrews 4:16) and share what is on your heart. I read somewhere that "to hear the whisper of God, you must turn down the volume of the world." God reminds you and me to make time for Him by disconnecting from everything around you and being still in His presence today and every day as we come close to Him. Here are 10 benefits when drawing closer to God: 1. Draw closer to God with a true heart, and God will come close to you. James 4:8, Heb...

Hello Brave Hearted Steppers,  Last week, I shared 10 steps you can apply on how to press on through the process, one Brave Hearted step at a time. The first one on the list is to put God first. I read somewhere when you put God first, things will fall into place. This reminded me of a visual aid we used to teach for a children’s ministry lesson on how to put God first. We had an empty plastic cookie jar. On the outside of the jar, we had three tennis balls representing God the Trinity (God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit) and a bag of rice representing things you do daily.  We showed them what happens when we don't put God first: pouring the bag of rice into the cookie jar before the tennis balls, which did not allow the cookie jar to close. We then showed them what happens when we put God first: putting in the three tennis balls and then the rice; it was only then that the cookie jar closed with ease (or fell into place). When we put God first and at...

  Hello Brave Hearted Steppers,  I've seen many in previous Januarys who desire new lifestyle changes, including new habits, goals, and challenges. However, after a few weeks, the desire starts dwindling. So many go back to how they were before January began with a comfortable lifestyle, including old habits, unfinished goals, and unfinished challenges, and not doing what they set out to do that year. One of the things to understand when doing something new is that there is a PROCESS that goes along with it. For example, suppose you want to change to a healthier lifestyle. More than one exercise session or one healthier meal is needed for this change to happen as you have lived an "unhealthy" lifestyle for some time. Your body needs to adjust to the new before it becomes a healthier lifestyle change. That is the same with our spiritual lifestyle. Suppose you want to change your spiritual lifestyle to include praying more, fasting more, reading more of God's word, cong...
