The Natural-Minded Soul

Hello Naturals!, I have one question... How strong is your prayer game? Today, I wanted to add to the July Prayer Intensive and share my experience with studying prayer! As we've discussed b efore, Prayer is a powerful thing. What makes it even more powerful is knowing how to properly use it!   Assuming that the average believer prays more often than none, I will go on a limb and say that you already know how powerful a prayer can be. There are different types of prayer. One being conversational. You know, relational. However, I'm talking about the earth shaking, weather changing, rent paying, job favoring, healing, dead resurrecting kind of prayer. After studying, researching, and speaking to the Lord, I have gathered that there is a key component that is often left out! And I'm here to tell you the secret! Are you ready? The Word of God. Yep, it's that simple. Before we get into it, I would like to add a few notable disclaimers an...

Hey Shanea, can you lead us in prayer? Me:       Me: Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.  There's vomit on her sweater already, mom's spaghetti. Sh e's nervous, but on the surface, she looks calm and ready.  To drop bombs, but she keeps on forgettin'.  What she wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud. Sh e opens her mouth, but the words won't come out. Sh e's choking.  O k, this may seem like an over exaggeration. Ok, it is and if the words sound familiar to you it's because those were the lyrics from 8 Mile lol But, hey, prayer can seem pretty scary when you're just starting out or in front of a lot of people, especially if you're not well practiced, aren't familiar with what to do, or nervous about others hearing you. We've all been there. To be real...quite a few of us have cheated over the years by nonchalantly reverberating the same quick prayer over our food, if we pray at all, or opting for our father or eldest ...

Hello, Naturals! Today, we'll be going over Day 2 & Day 3! Day 2: Greater Commitment Let us meditate on commiting to Christ Jesus in a greater way. God is good to us so let's take the challenge to make a stronger commitment to Him. Lord, We thank you for founding us in your word and helping guide us in a stronger commitment to you no matter what it looks or what it feels like. Focal Scriptures are: Psalm 91:2;16 1 Corinthians 15:58 Psalm 119 (whole chapter) Psalm 106: 10-12 I went back an added a few more focal verses. Psalm 37:5 Isaiah 26:4 Romans 12:1-2 Proverbs 16:3 Day 3: Love Today's prayer focus is "Love." What greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down His life for his friends! Jesus has empowered us through love and salvation, but our duty does not stop there. We are also to love another as we love ourselves. Focal Scriptures : 1 John 4:18 Psalm 13: 5-6 John 15:17 John 3:16 Today, I encour...

Well, today is just an awesome day because I have two awesome posts to share with you! Today's Freedom Friday is about a Post Father's day tribute that has inspired me from the first time I viewed its preview on Instagram. Preston Perry is an incredibly talented Spoken word artist that leads a ministry-filled life. His passion for God, his family, community, evangelism, and expression of proper doctrine leaps off of his skin, Instagram, Youtube, tour, merchandise, and whatever else you may catch a glimpse of him from lol.  His pieces have inspired me on so many levels and " Eden " is a remarkable piece that correlates the importance the relationship of a Father and Heavenly Father. Not only does this video fill your heart with warmth and eyes with water, " Eden " makes you reflect on your need for God and the importance of having an active relationship with Jesus. Also, Warning: this visual may send you into Baby Fever. I wish I had taken my warning a lit...
