āMost assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."
John 14:12-14
āAnd these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them, they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.ā
Mark 16:17-18
Read about the healing miracles Jesus performed during His time on earth.
These are the ones that were recorded, but I wouldn't doubt that even more healings and miracles took place that didn't make it into the Gospels.
Jesus healsā¦

Happy Friday, Garden Familia šø
I hope youāve had a wonderful week! God gave me the word B.O.L.D. last year.
At the time, I thought it was just a personal word of the year. However, what I didnāt know was that this was a lifestyle that God was not only calling me to, but also all of His children. Last year was simply the training ground for how God desires us to live. God has called us to Believe, Obey, Lead, Discern. Check out todayās video to gather more insight about what this should look like in your life, and grab your āBe B.O.L.D.ā sweatshirt or t-shirt today!
Have a healthy & wholesome weekend!
Love you bunches š

Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Luke 8:50
But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, āDo not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.ā
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Obey

You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Lead
Matthew 20:26-28
Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slaveājust as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.ā
James 3:1
My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.

Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Discern
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
John 7:24
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.
Happy Faith Friday š
I pray itās been a wonderful week!
Is radical obedience really that radical?
I know it seems so today, because in many ways, weāve been conditioned to kinda do our own thing and say a prayer on the side, asking God to bless it. However, radical obedience, doing what God says, when He says it, how He says to do it, really isnāt all that radical when you submit yourself and your life to Him. It becomes your normal, a norm He intended for His people from the beginning. God is calling all of us to return to Him and doing things His way.
Today, we are reviewing 2 Kings 22 & 23, an example of Godās people turning back to Him and His Ways, to see what we can take away for our own lives.
Check out the notes and follow-up steps below.
In the meantime, I have a few questions for you:
š Are you committed to doing things Godās way, despite how things may have been done for generations?
š Are you committed to tearing down anything in your life that opposes God?
š Are you willing to speak up and speak out about these things in order to reestablish Godās will in your land?
I pray your answer is or will soon become yes!
As always, I am wishing you a healthy & wholesome weekend. Love you bunches! š
P.S. If you would like to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior today, read the salvation prayer here and follow the steps to build your relationship with God. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or want prayer! šš¾

Follow-Up Steps
Get acquainted with Godās Word. Iām talking cover-to-cover!
As you dive in, make a commitment to do what it says and to respond swiftly to anything the Holy Spirit may lead you to do as a result.
Truly commit yourself to Godās will over your own.
Matthew 6:10
Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Luke 22:42
āFather, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.ā
Know that it may require giving up things youāve come to love or at least have become comfortable with, but there is so much more promise that comes with being in Godās will!
Matthew 19:29
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My nameās sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.
Decide to be ALL IN!
Revelation 3:16
So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
Joshua 24:15
And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.ā
Bible Study: 2 Kings 22-23
2 Kings 22:1-2
King Josiah reigned after a long line of idolatrous kings
First in a while to be committed to doing things Godās way
He later discovered the Book of the Covenant (it was brought to him)
2 Kings 22:10-11
He was distressed to find out all of the ways his ancestors and his land had violated Godās instructions.
He sought a prophetess to hear from God concerning what to do next
King Josiah reestablished God as sovereign in the land.
2 Kings 23:1-3
King Josiah proceeded to vehemently go after and tear down all idolatry in the land & reestablish God as sovereign
He left no stone unturned.
Read about this process in the rest of 2 Kings 23
2 Kings 22:14-20
Because of his obedience and commitment to doing things Godās way, he delayed Godās wrath and judgment that was set for Judah due to years of idolatry
