There's a lot of scripture that shows you how to be a better person on earth. Basically that's the whole book of Proverbs. But this is a great scripture that shows us how we can concentrate on a better character and reap the fruits of the Holy Spirit if we flex the Holy Spirit more! Galatians 5:22-26 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” The Air That I Breathe Podcast https://www.jodihowe.com Thank you so much for listening.

Essentially, it is the perspective on how your world view is interpreted. A Living Sacrifice Romans 12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. In this episode, Jodi offers Components to living a biblical world -view breaking down.

It was only when Jodi started truly walking with Jesus that she realized that the Lord's prayer was a scripture that she had memorized and didn't even realize it. During Jesus's final days his disciples would come to him and say "Rabbi show us how to pray"! It was this beautiful, compact prayer that shows how we can connect to God and center our spirit and prayer. Our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name. They kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day Lord our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses. As we forgive those who trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. The Air That I Breathe Podcast https://www.jodihowe.com Thank you so much for listening.

But when we shift out of the world and into God and his power, through prayer and thanksgiving, we see the beauty of peace and harmony in our spirit.

What is the thorn in your flesh? Or do you feel like there's many thorns? When we walk with Jesus there's many challenges from the outside world but Romans 12:1-2 speaks very poignantly about how we should not conform to the ways of the world but transform our minds on Jesus. Jodis speaks through her studies sharing the cardinal yearning from God; for us to have a relationship with his son Jesus! The teachings of Paul show how he, as a vessel, had to implement a discernment to the people, the churches preaching for them to “stop following just the rules, and get to know our Savior Jesus!” Jodi shares that amidst those thorns we can find peace and joy through obedience and submission. When we start building our foundation on the foundation of Christ, that is where we see strength through our weaknesses. His Grace is Sufficient!
