Journey through Mark 5 as we take a psychological approach and view to the demon possessed man’s situation.

A reflection questions: Has your physiological make up caused you to create a fight or flight response to a good thing? Not just a good thing, but a God thing?

There is safety in Christ, not danger, so trust that when you accept him into your life as your Lord and savior, no matter what things look like in the physical, you are spiritually safe and sound. No reason to act or react in defense mode when Jesus knocks on the door to your heart.

DISCLAIMER: As a christian, you CANNOT be possessed by demons, you can be Oppressed, but not possessed. In Mark 5 the man is possessed, but I linked his situation to how we live life today in oppression. I hope that brings clarity to some of you guys.

Stay Blessed!

Welcome to another episode of The Layers Podcast! In my last episode, my testimony, I voiced how rocky things were growing up, some things were inevitable, but others were due to poor decisions and cycles of sin I had in my life. I speak about this faulty foundation in this episode and how I had no core to my faith. LOVE!! there's layers to it, and I seemed to not peel until college LOL. Truly understanding love lays a lot of ground work for the foundation you need in this journey with Christ, so stay tuned for my perspective and insight. I know I'm late uploading LOL, this topic of love was really supposed to be handled in the month of love, but we'll start march on a high note and keep it pushing.

LOL the devil thought he had me, oooooo what a run!!

Y’all I was a PK wondering if what my dad preached was even true, I went through so much pain that sabotaged years of my life. BUT GOD. I Thank God for freedom, Thank God for deliverance, peace, joy, and every good fruit that comes from the spirit. I pray that this touches you, moves you and I believe God can turn your life around for his glory!! In Mark 9 there’s a man with a son who’s demon possessed. He goes to Jesus for healing and Jesus asks the man if he believes. In verse 24 the father cries “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief” and that verse is so real to my testimony. So many times I cried asking God for a better life and I knew God was real, but I doubted my life and circumstances could change. I Thank God for the deep understanding of his love and will for my life which was the cure to my unbelief. He can do the same for you!

Scripture Mentioned:

Hebrews 12:1

12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

Revelation 12:11

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Mathew 17:21

21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

Mark 9:24

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

It's been about a year since you guys last heard from me. Here's a little insight into where I've been and what God has been doing and revealing. The video version of this is on youtube and I have linked it below.

Welcome to Layers with Armelle!! Second video of the new series and I brought my wonderful friend, Dina!! To the pod.

Follow her YouTube channel @goddesssdi and get the experience from both our perspectives.

In this episode we break down the life of a typical college students, dig deeper into our responses to college life, to life as a teen/young adult in general and how to overcome the thoughts and negative responses we might have to everyday issues life throws at us.

Welcome to the introduction of my New series: My response is.

What’s your response? Today I talk about the response we ought to have due to God’s rescue. His heroic gesture gives me a reason to say Hallelujah, a reason to praise his name, despite the hardships of life, despite my imperfections.

Scriptures Mentioned:

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Noah and the Ark - Genesis 6

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 8:1-4 “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. 3 The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. 4 He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.”

I don’t remember the last time I heard someone express excitement for Jesus, I see it in kids, and In the New Year season, but then after that, it’s back to normal regular life where we go through the motions and I feel like excitement is a lacking expression in the Christian community specifically for GenZ b/c excitement = fun and Christian living supposedly does not = fun. Listen to my take on how to bring excitement back into our faith.

Just a lil reflection on 2022 and insight on my thought process for what I want 2023 to look like.
