About 20 years ago, I decided to stop that insanity.  Instead, I began to pray and ask the Lord to help me prioritize my life for each new year and seek Him for what is it He would have me focus on for the new year.  I asked Him first and sought His guidance, before coming up with my own plans. I learned that with spiritual goals, you don't have to feel defeated and go about kicking yourself in the shin because your commitment only lasted six weeks.  There is no failure in God.  If you fall down, all you have to do is get back up and earnestly pray and seek Him and find strength in Him to achieve your goals. Praying and knowing that our priorities come from Him makes all the difference in the world.  He is faithful and because of Him success is an option.  In Philippians 3:14, Paul wrote "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus".  And, in I Timothy 1:5, Paul, wrote "But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith."  Spiritual goals speak to a higher calling and a desire to do what the Lord has for us, not just for each new year, but for the rest of our lives.  Is that a challenge?  Yes, you bet it is, but with Him all things are possible. Join me for our next podcast as we hear from our guest, Desireé M. Wilkins, MATL, and learn which will it be for her – another New Year's resolution or a fresh approach to setting spiritual goals?   00:31:00Yield to the King MinistrynoNew Year's resoslution,Lord,God,goals,plansYear after year we make a New Year's resolution that we don't keep.

Today, I am going to share with you tips on why Christian disciplines are necessary and how when practiced they enable the power of God, allow you to feel His closeness and His love, to hear and know His voice, to be victorious, and bear fruit!  If you desire a rewarding, but challenging journey, listen to the podcast and then make a personal commitment today to apply the Word of God practically through intentional daily Christian disciplines.  Thank you! 00:31:00Yield to the King MinistrynoBible Teaching,Christian Disciplines,The Word of God,Bible Study,PrayerChristian disciplines are necessary for a Christ-centered and victorious life.https://www.blogtalkradio.com/yieldtotheking/2015/09/30/part-ii--blood-moons-and-historical-events-for-jewish-people-and-israelChristianityhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/yieldtotheking/2015/09/30/part-ii--blood-moons-and-historical-events-for-jewish-people-and-israel/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/yieldtotheking/2015/09/30/part-ii--blood-moons-and-historical-events-for-jewish-people-and-israelWed, 30 Sep 2015 22:30:00 GMTPart II - Blood Moons and Historical Events for Jewish People and Israel.Our featured guest is Norma Luciano, born to a Jewish mother from Jerusalem and Jewish father from Brooklyn.  Norma embraces her Jewish heritage, history, and traditions, and she is a believer in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.  Norma became a Christian in 1987 and began a new spiritual journey. She attends Beit Tikvah Messianic Congregation in Newcastle, Washington.  Norma is an accomplished author of adult and children's books, lives in Seattle, Washington, is married, and a former school security specialist. Norma will offer a Jewish-Christian perspective on blood moons.  Moons turning to blood is referenced in the Bible in Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20, and Rev. 6:12-14. Blood moons are often described as a total lunar eclipse, which occurs when the earth casts its shadow on a full moon and eclipses it.  The result is the moon may get a red glow – referred to as a Blood Red Moon. Total lunar eclipses are rare and normally happen twice a year.  There is no particular order for lunar eclipses, but sometimes four total lunar eclipses will happen in a row. This occurrence is called a lunar tetrad.  Tetrads are rather rare.  The first three total eclipses in this lunar tetrad occurred on April 15, 2014, October 8, 2014, and April 4, 2015.  The last eclipse of the tetrad occurred on September 27-28, 2015. What is the significance of the blood moons?  What connection can be made between blood moons and significant Jewish history – The Spanish Inquisition in 1492, The Nation of Israel Reborn in 1948, and the Arab-Israeli’s Six-Day War in 1967?  How do blood moons tie in with Israel today? Norma will explore those questions and offer an interpretation of historical Jewish events and how they relate to blood moons and Biblical prophecy. 00:31:00Yield to the King MinistrynoJewish history,blood moons,biblical prophecy,Israel,tetradsFind out about Jewish history and the significance of the Blood Moons.https://www.blogtalkradio.com/yieldtotheking/2015/09/16/blood-moons-and-significant-historical-events-for-jewish-people-and-israelChristianityhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/yieldtotheking/2015/09/16/blood-moons-and-significant-historical-events-for-jewish-people-and-israel/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/yieldtotheking/2015/09/16/blood-moons-and-significant-historical-events-for-jewish-people-and-israelWed, 16 Sep 2015 22:30:00 GMTBlood Moons and Significant Historical Events for Jewish People and Israel.Our featured guest is Norma Luciano, born to a Jewish mother from Jerusalem and Jewish father from Brooklyn.  Norma embraces her Jewish heritage, history, and traditions, and she is a believer in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.  Norma became a Christian in 1987 and began a new spiritual journey. She attends Beit Tikvah Messianic Congregation in Newcastle, Washington.  Norma is an accomplished author of adult and children's books, lives in Seattle, Washington, is married, and a former school security specialist.

Oliphant and La Verna D. Jones Oliphant, both originally from Iowa. While growing up, Vida discovered these two truths: we all are created with a particular “bent” and our life’s assignment is to learn how to submit that “bent” to the Master’s hand.  Based on Deuteronomy 6:5-9, Vida did submit and began her life-rewarding homeschool journey. Vida graduated from high school at age 16 and attended the University of Washington for two years before transferring to University of Southern California where she graduated with a BA in English. She returned to Seattle to marry the love of her life, Steve Sneed and God blessed them with six children. Vida received her Elementary Education Teaching Certificate and taught in the Seattle Public Schools for a very short time. The Lord redirected her course to homeschooling her then three children. This was a life-changing, will-bending journey of faith that culminated in 19 years of homeschooling all six children while providing care for other children the Lord sent along the way. Vida says, “For 19 years I quit every morning telling the Lord I can’t do this. It’s too hard for me. And He responded, ‘You’re right you can’t. Let me do it through you.’ And He did.” Vida and Steve have four grandchildren and in their spare time spend quality time with family, travel, and are very active in their church and community. She currently serves as Co-Assistant Superintendent of the Christian Education Ministry at First A.M.E. Church in Seattle, Washington.                         00:31:00Yield to the King MinistrynoHomeschool,education,family ministry,college preparationThe 19 year journey of homeschooling six children.28b92d4d-e33f-42bb-8c6a-c0dd4f8b4053
