One Voice Makes A Difference with Janet Swanson


Dec 27, 2021

I have a word that I want to share with you that will carry you throughout Christmas and New Years!  Here’s the word! GOD WANTS TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE, NOT TAKE AWAY!

There are some things that God will purge or trim away out of your life, but it will always cause growth!  For instance, the grape vine has to be trimmed back in order for it to be healthy and grow! 

There are some things that God will purge or trim away out of your life, but it will always cause growth!  For instance, the grape vine has to be trimmed back in order for it to be healthy and grow! 

In this episode you will hear an encouraging word that  God is not wanting to destroy you,  nor put sickness on you,  steal from you, take away from you or leave you depressed, desolate and alone! No! God is a God of multiplication and He’s wanting to add and multiply in your life, not subtract and divide.

As you know some of my own story, I cam from a divorced and divided family. I was abused, abandoned,  thrown in foster care, (in the middle of puberty)  and it left me  lost, bankrupt, empty, exhausted, depleted, destitute, impoverished and broken.  This is  just part of my story! And we ALL have a story to tell.

You may ask me “how” I overcame and I would tell you, little by little, day by day, walking with God, renewing my mind, and filling up on the Holy Spirit. 

Here’s the key: Sometimes LIFE can leave you lacking, hurting and empty!  Just look at this pandemic! It’s not what has been done to you by someone, it’s LIFE happening right before your eyes and you can’t do anything about it. Covid, suicide, death, murder, freak accidents and so much more has touched our lives and now we are a people who are broken. 

The definition for broken is: not functioning properly!  Imagine that!

Have you ever been so thirsty or hungry, just to go to the snack machine and it says, “out of order”?  Well, that is how the pandemic has left a lot of us ALL OVER THE WORLD!

BROKEN, NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, OUT OF ORDER!

John 10:10 says the thief, the devil, comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but Jesus has come to give you life, and life abundantly.

Jesus wants to ADD to your life and MULTIPLY YOU!  Satan wants to deplete you, wear you out, leave you empty, subtract and divide!

There are 5 things you can do that will start adding to your life that will create multiplication!

  1. Give Your life to Jesus! Your whole heart! This starts the process.
  2. Be grateful, heart of gratitude and use your voice for the good, to celebrate people and life!
  3. Learn to enjoy PEACE! Strive for it.
  4. Read the word of God and adhere to the teachings of Jesus.
  5. Tell your story!

God is saying to you today, “I will not fail you! I am with you, and I will never leave you! I will respond to you at the proper time!  Trust Me with the journey because every step you take forward is one step closer to the plan I have for you!”

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
