"Soaring in Faith" by Rev. Grace Reyes

Image
Blessings Brave Hearted Steppers, Faith will Cause you to Soar Like an Eagle But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 NKJV What comes to mind when I read the word “Faith” is that it is a verb, (definition: a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence) it requires something from us for it to be activated. It requires us to see in the natural what the Lord has been arranging in the supernatural. Faith propelled the women with the issue of blood to risk everything to reach Jesus, she believed with her whole being that her healing was directly tied to this humble Rabbi. Matthew 9:20-22 AMP (Then a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the [tassel] fringe of His outer robe;  21  for she had been saying to herself, “If I only touch His outer robe, I will be healed.”  22  But ...

A BRAVE MINUTE: Don't just fly, SOAR on God's Promises!

  Hello Brave Hearted Steppers! Today, I want to share a powerful reminder from this month’s theme: ‘Don’t just fly, soar on God’s promises.  “You see, flying is great, but soaring takes us to new heights. It’s about trusting in something greater than ourselves. When we lean on God’s promises, we find strength, hope, and direction.” “Remember, God’s promises are like the wind beneath our wings. They lift us up when we’re weary, guide us when we’re lost, and give us courage when we’re afraid. So, don’t settle for just flying. Spread your wings and soar!” Let’s embrace this journey together, stepping boldly and bravely, knowing that with God, we can soar higher than we ever imagined. Keep stepping, keep believing, and keep soaring! Thanks for watching, Brave Hearted Steppers! Until next time, keep soaring on God’s promises!  Many Blessings, Maria Guzman Founder of Brave Hearted Ministry

To Soar or not to Soar by Pastor Evelyn Rodriguez

Image
  Blessings my Brave Hearted Steppers, “To be or not to be, that is the question.” This quote is from William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet. In this speech, Hamlet contemplates the nature of existence and the idea of life and death, reflecting on the struggles and uncertainties life brings us.  As I contemplated this blog and its theme, I wanted to start with a quote to express the same ideas as Shakespeare’s quote only it goes like this “To Soar or not to Soar, that is the question."   All of us, at one point or another, will have to make this choice. Will I soar and fulfill the promise that God has given to each one of us in His word, or will we not soar and settle as if we were defeated and helpless people and have no hope at all, and never enjoy the fullness of His greatness in our lives?  To soar means more than to fly; it means to rise swiftly, to feel the wind slipping below you as you ride it higher, higher, higher. Flying is just moving through the air. S...

"Soaring in Faith" by Maria Guzman

Image
Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, In our journey of faith, we are called not just to fly but to soar on the promises of our Heavenly Father. This theme, “Don’t just fly, Soar on His Promises,” reminds us that our faith is meant to elevate us above life’s challenges, enabling us to experience the fullness of God’s love and power. Today let’s explore how we can soar in faith by clinging to His promises, with 10 practical steps and life applications. 1. Trust in God’s Promises The foundation of soaring in faith is trusting in God’s promises. The Bible is filled with assurances of His love, provision, and guidance. As Isaiah 40:31 beautifully states, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Trusting in these promises gives us the strength to rise above our circumstances. Life Application : Start each day by reading and meditating on a promise from the Bible. Write it down...

Quote from “Soaring in the Waiting” by Pastor Lourdes Hernandez

  "Brave Hearted Steppers – I won’t SOAR – you won’t SOAR – if you aren’t waiting in expectation and actively. Remember that – it is those who WAIT ON THE LORD who SOAR." Pastor Lourdes Hernandez Center of Life.CDV - Florida

"Soaring in the Waiting" by Pastor Lourdes Hernandez

Image
Blessings Brave Hearted Steppers, As we continue to get to know each other through this platform, you will soon see just how much I believe in the intentionality of God. Everything that he does, he allows, and that is currently present in your life is important and is there for a reason that God is currently developing and working out for you to see. The last few weeks I have been truly enjoying a bible plan that talks about trusting God in the waiting. The first part of Isaiah 40:31 talks about those who wait on the Lord shall. In other words, the soaring happens after the waiting. And waiting isn’t our best quality, even though we are all required to wait. Waiting is something that is constantly used to teach us patience, perseverance, endurance, and the meaningful lessons that show us the plan and purpose of God in our lives. Being that we all need to wait, then waiting isn’t the true concern, but HOW we wait is. At this moment, before you keep reading, I want you to take a moment t...
