Retah McPherson is firstly a daughter of the most high King, a wife, a mother to two sons, and an author. In 2004, Retah and her family were involved in a near fatal car accident. Aldo, their eldest son, sustained a serious brain injury that left him in a coma for months afterwards. It was during that time that he had a supernatural encounter with God in heaven and came back with a message: "Mommy, I need to tell the world that Jesus is alive." This incident ignited a flame within Retah and her family's hearts, for the bride of Christ to prepare herself for the Bridegroom. They wrote numerous books with this message as the foundation. Retah also travels the world as a Christian Public Speaker proclaiming the coming of the King of kings. On this podcast we spoke about; -becoming better or bitter in seasons of hardship -surrendering every area of our lives because we trust Him -training your spirit man with diligence and allowing our Faithful Father to use trauma for our good and for His kingdom. We also spoke about being citizens of Heaven, maturing in our walk with Yeshua and seeking the Father more and more. A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9

We dug through the mud with our bare hands. Dirt tightly hugged our finger nails as we went on a quest to seek out sweet potatoes and black potatoes originally planted by the owners of the house we are currently renting. Each potato found, filled my and the children's hearts with delight. It was our first time doing this type of venture. Oh, how much fun we had. We placed each one neatly in a basket, cut off some spinach, celery, spring onions and red peppers- all fresh from the garden. The little ones sat on the porch under the winter shadow of the grapevine and gently washed each treasured vegetable. Then I cut up all the gatherings in cubes. And roasted it with garlic and rosemary. It was such a pleasant meal, hand picked, filled with love, shared by my precious ones. If these little moments that fill our beings with so much glee, form treasured memories, how much more His word, our soul's most treasured hope.

I think all Christians can agree masculinity as a whole is under heavy attack. How much more biblical masculinity. The Enemy has launched a head on onslaught with believer and in particular men of the faith. Today, I talk to Jaco Bekker. He has had over a decade of experience in men's ministry. I am sure listeners will find Jaco's advice helpful and edifying. Jaco also shares some inspiration and hopeful testimonies. I want to encourage our female audience to forward this episode to any man that they love and care for.

I've never been more distinctly aware of my own human shortcomings and weaknesses, than I have since entering the journey called motherhood. I first came to the realization of a deeper dependence on Abba when I was about 30 weeks into my first pregnancy. Someone very dear and near to me challenged my heart in terms of the way this precious baby should be born. It felt like the birth was standing in front of me like a fierce predator. I trembled. I was scared and deeply aware of how much I needed Abba. While I was driving to my midwife friend, tears streaming down my face and raindrops pouring down on the windshield, Abba reminded me about a song that I wrote when I was only 17. Valleys of depression have been part of my story since I was young. I think part of this is because my emotions come in intense pigmented form- like the shades of oil paint. I was in one of those valleys, and I only recently stepped into Abba's Kingdom with all of my heart at that stage. I was battling with my own flesh and my tumultuous emotions. This song was one of my first songs that I wrote. I clearly remember how I sat at our old piano and how the words and melody just washed over me. They refreshed my soul. In that moment, in the car, it did the same. I sang the song, as the Holy Spirit brought it to remembrance. These words, words not thought out by my own abilities, but words found in Scripture, carried me through numerous valleys. For when I am weak He is strong. His power is made perfect in my weakness.

My dad is turning 61 years old today. Being a dad is not always easy. Going through challenges in fatherhood gave me perspective on the exceptional example my earthly father has been to me. I am grateful for this and I give my heavenly Father all the honour and glory.

No weapon formed against us might prosper, yet we’re still at war, standing fully armoured knowing the One who fights for us, are not alarmed by any tactics of a kingdom not our own. I wrote this song about 3 years ago during a family crisis that shook my whole being in such a way that even the ground felt unsteady. I kept on thinking “I don’t know what to do?” over and over again. I felt lost for words. Until one day I found Jehoshaphat saying the exact same phrase. Only his didn’t end there. “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.” (2 Chronicles 20:12b). The story doesn’t end there. They kept their eyes on Abba Father through worship. The battle that day, and today, belonged not to the people but to Yahweh, the One who fight for us, and the One who is victorious. I found such hope in that phrase spoken thousands of years ago by a king who didn’t know what the outcome would be for the nation as they faced great danger. Yet, he chose to keep his eyes and heart fixed upon the King of Kings. Friend, would you do the same as we face times of great uncertainty? Will we, as Stephen being filled with the Spirit, choose to fix our eyes fully without wavering on Yeshua our Messiah? “But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 56 and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” Acts 7:55-56 This song is featured on Songs of Deliverance by Carmen Tehillah Written by Carmen Tehillah Vocals: Carmen Tehillah, Judah Son, Annabel Marrais Cello by: Annabel Marrias Produced by: Johan Viljoen Video created by: Simone Laubscher Photo credit: Teenwoordig Photography Connect with us: www.zadoak.com https://www.instagram.com/carmentehil...

There are times when we feel like running far away from our King because of shame, fear and guilt. He longs for us to run to Him. He is our shield, the place where we are safe in His embrace.

Daar heers 'n geweldige stryd in die gees vir ons fokus en tyd. Intimiteit met ons Vader kom teen 'n prys en daar moet geveg word om dit te behou. Yeshua het vir ons die voorbeeld gestel van afsondering en gemeenskap met Abba. Wees waaksaam. Bid hard. Breek brood. Drink wyn. Wees een met Hom.
