Live Your Best Life with Liz Wright

“Whatever we are going through, we can pull out of our emotions and responses to circumstances, and back into the internal posture of the heart of trust.” - Liz Wright We were created to walk in total trust with God, partaking in the Divine nature of Jesus and bearing the fruit of being new creations! 2 Peter 1 declares that everything we need to walk faithfully has been deposited within us, and God is releasing a fresh humility—the ability to fully trust in Him—to each of us. In this episode, Liz shares a recent, powerful encounter where Jesus appeared to her in the Spirit and revealed a prophetic invitation. Jesus made it clear that now was a time for the Body to re-engage our awareness of His nature, which we carry through the work of the Cross, and to lean into dependence on Him in everything. It’s essential that we gain a clear understanding of what it means to walk as new creations and access all that Jesus has purchased for us at the Cross—how He has called us to live, according to the ways of His heart. Through Liz’s encounter with Christ at a recent event, she experienced a revelation of Him wearing a garment of humility, and carrying garments of humility which were saturated in anointing oil. Jesus revealed that He was enabling us to become freshly aware and to have capacity again to fully depend on God, to walk in total trust in Him and in the nature placed within us by Him. We were meant to live from that state of constant grace, recognizing Him as the source of life and created to know Him, be filled with Him, living in intimate union with Him, and overflowing to the world around us with Him. We are being invited to step away from desperateness, separation, panic, or a need for control, and lean into the truth of Him being our eternal source of life, truth, wisdom, grace, love, joy, and beyond. We are dead to sin, and fully alive in Christ Jesus—we are new creations! Not only this, but from a place of immersion, we will release these things to the people and cities to which we are called, partnering with God to make earth look like heaven.This is our new reality, and this is what it means to walk in the fullness of what Christ paid for on the Cross: we possess the nature of Christ within us, and we are called to lean into Jesus as the eternal source for every need, question, and longing. In our final moments in this episode, we walk through a time of encounter with God and reconnect to this truth. Today, we place our concerns, cares, and dreams in His hands, and acknowledge our dependence on Him, and honor the call to walk in fresh humility, trust, and faithfulness to our new life in Christ.

“Family is God’s strategy for the restoration of the earth.” - Pastor Darren Stott One thing that we all have in common, no matter our vocation, our gifting, or even our age, is that we are all in a family. To a great degree, we are where we are in life because of this, though we often think it is exclusive to the choices that we make in life. But what is meant by “family” in this context is the family that we’ve surrounded ourselves with, regardless of whether or not they are biological. The truth is, we were meant to live in recognition of the royal DNA that knits us together as sons and daughters of God through the work of Jesus on the Cross, and as family, we are called to bring restoration to cities and nations through the love and power of Jesus together. This is God’s strategy for the restoration of the earth. In this episode, Liz connects with Darren Stott, Lead Pastor of Eden (formerly Seattle Revival Center) about the fulfillment of Jesus’ prayer in John 17 that we would be one family, and the fruit of that on the earth. As we step out of isolation and our separateness, and stand against attacks of the enemy to keep us there, we will see authority and power to prepare the world for the return of Christ and the New Earth He will bring. Change is catalyzed when we realize that we are a family knit together by blood. This is a longterm revelation into the Bride. We are not individual streams with an ethos that binds us, we are knit together by royal DNA, as Jesus prayed for in John 17. The same Spirit is inside of all of us, and as we walk in this, we’ll see power and authority flow from this. Since the very beginning, all that God has ever wanted was a home. And since the beginning, all God has ever wanted was a family. Family is the thread that ties all of the Scriptures together. This may mean that the prophetic words that we have been given may not simply just be for us—they may be words that we steward for your descendents to come. In this hour, we’re gaining the divine perspective to who we actually are, stepping out of our isolation and separateness, and into the revelation that we are all His home; all holy ground. The Lord wants to unfold something on the earth that may take some time. But, what if we could think 100 years out, and dream for this planet and for the people in it to know that we were all created to belong to the family of God, that salvation has come through Jesus and His work on the Cross, and that God has called us to greater things together, as a Body? The future’s bright because we co-create it together. So we must ask ourselves—what is our mandate? How do we posture ourselves? How do we implement heaven’s strategy…together? Our time closes with a powerful prayer from Pastor Darren, releasing an invitation to receive revelation about the family of God, and the divine strategy that God has for it in the earth. May you be blessed as you listen to this inspiring, transformative time!

Show Notes: “It’s about Jesus. It’s about exposing the world’s worth and value, and letting them know that Jesus is the gift from God that came to reconcile the world back to Him and redeem mankind.” - Dr. Pete Sulack It is an honor to partner with Heaven to see Jesus get His full reward. One of the ways that we are invited to partner with Him is in setting the captives free. Around the world, millions of people are living bound in slavery, and one of the most common forms of slavery is work to pay off debts that can never truly be paid off. Dr. Pete Sulack and Matthew 10 International is working to reveal the goodness of God through inviting people to know the freedom Christ paid for on the Cross, both spiritually and physically, by paying these debts and inviting families into new life! In this episode, Liz hears from Dr. Pete about what he and his team have been doing in the Middle East, and how God is inviting us to set the captives free here and now. He shares on the people they are ministering to, how the Lord is drawing hearts to Himself, and how their plan to set 600 families free from their debts and released into a new life in Christ is coming to pass. Matthew 10:5-8 says, “These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: ‘Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.” This is the mission that Matthew 10 International builds upon, and their work rescuing those enslaved through debt to brickmakers and landowners is making a lasting impact on the Kingdom. Throughout their conversation, Liz and Dr. Pete discuss the compelling invitation that salvation creates within each of us to reveal the love that God has for the world. Dr. Pete reveals that each day is a day of celebration for those who have experienced the goodness of God that leads to repentance. He declares, “My testimony is what He went through on my behalf—every day is an invitation to experience the joy of my salvation.” This is the heart behind Matthew 10 International’s call—that people would experience the goodness of God through rescue from financial servitude, be given a chance to be restored to Him and to the new life He offers, and step into a new reality of financial freedom, community life, and connection to God. As the time closes, we experience powerful and moving footage from Matthew 10 International’s first 50 families who encountered this reality of freedom and wholeness.Related Materials:Redeem Chiropractic is dedicated to helping you and your family break the cycle of chronic and traumatic stress – physically, chemically, and emotionally.

“There is a realm of joy in God that is so beyond anything that we’ve even begun to see.” - Justin Paul Abraham When we live from the reality of our union with Jesus, we live as carriers of the Gospel of joy! In a time when humanity is longing for clear vision and sustained strength, we are invited to reveal the Good News of the Kingdom, where joy is both an unending fountain of strength and a giver of heaven’s eternal perspective. In this episode, Liz speaks with Justin Paul Abraham on the Gospel of joy and the lives we are able to live as we rest in our union with the Trinity. Jesus came on a joy assignment, anointed with the oil of joy (Hebrews 1). When we live enfolded in Jesus, we too are given access to the fullness of joy that He brings, and even in our moments of suffering, we are invited to hold fast to His invitation to rejoice, knowing that He is the restorer of all things. In this moment in history, Jesus is bringing us back to the reality of the Gospel of Joy—the Good News for every person, in every circumstance. In our union with Jesus, we find access to the realm of the Kingdom filled with joy, more than we’ve even begun to tap into! Too often, we have an inaccurate picture of Christ as solemn, but Jesus was full of joy, so much so that it was misunderstood as drunkenness—His joy was overflowing! The reality of joy in our lives impacts many places, one of the greatest being the ability to transcend above the pressures of life and the circumstances that we face. Joy doesn’t deny our situations, it establishes a deeper awareness of the goodness of God in our lives—it allows us to live at a higher frequency, from a higher perspective. This is why it is essential that we create a culture within and around us that honors joy. We can’t allow our joy to be dictated by the culture around us, and like the Person of Joy—Jesus—we must live seated above that in the heavenly realms. In joy, we find strength, liberation, hope, healing, perspective, and communion with Christ. Today, let’s take time to re-engage the One who is joy within us, and live consciously aware of our union with Him!

Surrendering to Him is not always easy, but it is essential for experiencing the fullness of God's presence and power in our lives. Hayley encourages us to simplify our relationship with God and let go of striving and self-will. Surrendering means laying down our own desires and allowing God to lead us. It means trusting Him with every aspect of our lives, even when we don't understand or know how to navigate certain situations.  Intimacy is not about striving but about being. It is about living every moment with love in mind and allowing our actions to reflect our love for God. Intimacy with Him is cultivated through daily communion, where we invite Him into every aspect of our lives and allow Him to lead us. When we yield to the Holy Spirit, we tap into the power and presence of God in our lives. We become vessels through which His love, wisdom, and power flow.
