“Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,” 1 Timothy 4:1
“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” Colossians 2:8
Thank you for this video! What is it like packing to come home? Do you bring the vacuum seal pump? And how do you plan for things you purchased on the trip?
what a lovely, real, and helpful conversation. I particularly love the example of confessing our sins one to another by way of 'general' conversation.... certainly food for thought for me - looking forward to coffee on Sunday (here in the UK). Thanks to all four of you ladies. x
Actually you don’t have to buy the study guide. A free copy comes with the DVD study pack and a free printable PDF comes with the streaming option. And you can even use the videos with the study in the back of the book. Learn more @ www.havingamaryheart.com
To clarify for others, only one copy of the study guide comes with the DVD study pack. So if multiple people are doing the study, they will need to purchase a study guide along with the book. But the streaming option includes a free printable version of the guide which can be used for whole class.
Thank God there are not many people watching this nonsense. You cannot "Practice the presence of God" Non biblical. The Holy Spirit leads you in truth through the word of God. Shame on those referring you to Mystic Monks. No thanks. Only 68 comments well mine makes 68 and only 245 likes. Well I will add a dislike for Joanna's body language during interview as revealing and Joni for Glorifying MONKS! Better leave that alone Christians. I hear an echo in the silence so I leave now.
I completely agree that it is the Holy Spirit who leads and guides us into all truth. For me it isn’t practicing God’s presence. It is living in the reality of what’s already true! Christ IN us - our hope of glory and the source of our salvation, sanctification and everything we need. Thank You, Jesus!!!
I struggled with everyday morning private time with the Lord with having 4 children. However, with reading Practicing His Presence by Brother Lawrence, it freed me to see it can be every moment of every day! I encourage all to get a copy of that book and read and digest it! It is wonderful. Shows how it didn't matter what he was doing in his life every moment, he was in the presence of the Lord. When we are there, it is hard to be rattled. Its a goal!! Many blessings to you! Glad I found your channel. Found it by looking up a poem (hymn) by Lettie Cowman and found the biographer Michelle Ule's books regarding Lettie Cowman and Biddie Chambers. I have studied Oswald and Chambers for over 50 years now and they are incredible. A must for every Christian! Thank you!
This message really ministered to me. Especially now at this time of my life while facing and fighting the fears of breast cancer and the damaging effects of chemotherapy. Every day, I have to submit those fears and worries of death and pain. I want God's joy, peace, and strength while I wait on Him..... Thank you for this wonderful message. I needed it, again❤😊
Thank you so much Joanna and Mindy!!! Watching this several months after you did the livestream but the timing is so perfect. God has been giving me an increasing desire to write and has been prompting me to more intentionally practice writing, so this has been such a timely intersection in my journey! You have encouraged, challenged and blessed my heart with your words! Thank you both and God bless!
Joanna. Just over a year ago my very best friend and, confidant passed away. A year or so beforeI asked him a question, "Who are ya reading Kelly ? " He said O.C.Sermon on Mount " We were studying together Complete works at the time he passed away. Kelly baptised me in 1984, escorted my Russian wife of 22 years to our wedding. He was the Dad my wife and,I never had ! He was never not there when I needed him ! I'm still reading and, praying my way through Complete Works ! Still can't get enough ! Phil
I just spent some time with my spiritual mentor and I was so encouraged. She’s the one who gave me My Utmost forty years ago and it has enriched my walk with God so much.
Praying that the great love of God breaks through and apprehends your prodigal’s heart. And that God strengthens and encourages your heart as you persevere in prayer❤️
You are cramming so much into a bag that for most airlines needs to weigh less than 7kg. How do so many videos show so called amazing ideas that won’t work with airline limitations!
That’s definitely true if you are traveling to and from destinations outside the US, but when you fly from the states, nearly all major airlines allow 15 kg. Always important to check the baggage rules for your airline.
@JoannaWeaver Thank you for your response and grateful for your prayers. It's a rough journey, but God's love is far greater. Thank you for the truth of God you live by.
I’ve watched SO MANY videos on this subject and this one was the best! Thank you Joanna! I’ve never seen anyone pack their Bible as I always do and that was refreshing!! God Bless you!
Thank you Joanna! I too am a pastor’s wife and we both love to take at least one cruise every year. This packing video will be a good source to come back to again and again!! God Bless!
Praise the Lord Jesus! So good to hear genuine conversation from a person who is going through tough times not just temporarily but with a spinal cord injury as a spinal cord injury healthcare worker I can understand how hard it is, still I could see the joy of our Lord in our sister Joni. May the Lord bless and keep you in perfect peace! All glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Blessing Joanna, good to see it in Spanish. I have a few Spanish friends will certainly be purchasing copies for them. It was meant for you to be there and so glad it all worked out. The delays I am sure have some points for your next book. May God continue to bless your ministry. I am loving the book, just finishing a support group on abuse and we're jumping in to Trust, totally was surprised that the entire group is staying together for your books. Can't wait to tell you how much they are blessed.
Good morning Joanna, it surely was God’s event for you to be in, just look at the lovely ladies enjoying the encouragement. God is present ever present in times of trouble. Can so relate to those delays in Houston to El Salvador…Wow, travel is a big deal and running shoes are needed in those airports…your video reminded me of the close calls we’ve had in the Houston airport too! But loved your prayer it brought tears to my eyes, Lord open the Red Sea! And it’s just what I need to pray too for the trials we often face in raining days! God bless you and thank you for sharing your tips! God made a way for you! Bless His name…💕🌷🙏🏼😊🌹🎉
Hope it doesn't sound self-pitying (it's not!) but I can't imagine what it's like to have even just one person 'need me' let alone be overwhelmed by a multitude!. What a blessing to have to wrestle with! :)
