Experience Praying In Tongues

Posted on by

Prayer is the most powerful weapon we have to overcome any struggle in our life. I believe every follower of Christ has the ability to pray in their own spiritual language. I pray my message today encourages you to simply allow the Holy Spirit to speak through you today. It is powerful and life changing. 

Excellent sermon below explaining Praying In Tongues by Pastor Robert Morris.

Do You Need Healing?

Posted on by

I’ve shared with you in the past how I’ve personally struggled with anxiety, depression and negative thoughts. I am here to tell you that you do not have to struggle with the same lies I struggle with. Lies of I’m not good enough, I’m never going to be good enough, lies of insecurity, unworthiness, etc. Friends, I have been set free, truly delivered from that mindset and belief. In all honesty I know that it was spiritual what I was dealing with.

As a child early on I partnered and agreed with those lies and negative thoughts. For example, I didn’t think I was smart so I agreed and started calling myself stupid. I carried that all through adulthood. Just over this past year have I really been set free from the lies and insecurities.

Psalm 30:2 says, “Lord my God I called to you for help and you healed me” and Psalm 30:11 tells us “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.” and that is exactly what God has done in my life.

When I truly called out to the Lord, he set me free! I prayed, “Lord, I no longer stand in agreement and partner with these lies that I’m not good enough. I tell those things to go in the name of Jesus.” I prayed, “lying spirit go in the name of Jesus, unworthiness go in the name of Jesus, insecurity go in the name of Jesus, I no longer partner with those and I choose to partner with you Lord and who you say I am. I am worthy. I am loved. I have nothing to fear.”

And guess what? Today there is no longer insecurity in me. I simply have joy and freedom!

After praying such a simple heartfelt prayer, I have been fully delivered. Today I invite you in to pray with me and after this video, continue in prayer if there is anything that you’ve been holding onto. There is power and freedom in Jesus. I promise!

Overcome Anxiety & Depression

Posted on by

One way to overcome anxiety and depression is to shift your focus. Joyce Meyer has said many times to “get yourself off your mind” and believe it or not, this actually can work! A few months ago when I was with my daughter and she was struggling with feeling a little anxious and a little blah, we came across a gentlemen in a wheelchair on the side of the road. His wheelchair was electric and needed to be charged. He was rolling back into traffic and was going to get hit. My daughter stopped her car and I jumped out to help him up the hill. Long story short, we helped him and gave him money to treat himself because he was having a challenging day. To my surprise my daughter’s mood shifted and all her anxiety and blahs had disappeared.

James 2:14-17 says, “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”

When we use faith and action together we can move forward. We pray in faith for the Lord to remove our depression and anxiety, and God’s word encourages us in our faith to accompany it with action. What better way to activate our faith than by getting out there and helping another. Is there someone you can help today? Take notice how you feel afterwards. You will be amazed at how much lighter your mood will be.

Anxiety, Depression, Suicidal Thoughts

Posted on by

I felt the need to create this video for anyone clicking through YouTube possibly struggling with anxiety, depression or suicidal thoughts. I specifically wanted to make this video for you. As a young girl I struggled a lot with my emotions. I really couldn’t put my finger on it but wrestled a good bit with anxiety and depression. When I was in sixth grade I got in a fight with my mom over my hair and ended up taking an entire bottle of sleeping pills. I landed in the hospital for about a week and began therapy. Life was very challenging going through adolescents.

Fast forward to later in life, after having my daughter, I struggled with postpartum depression. The doctor put me on an antidepressant for a few years. For many years I struggled on and off with anxiety and depression and just a roller coaster of emotions. I am no longer on medication and no longer struggle with the depths of anxiety and depression. I do struggle at different times with my moods being up and down, just natural human emotions but I honestly do not have it any more.

The reason I remain healthy and healed is because of God’s word, His truth and His spirit inside of me. I remain confident and healed because whenever I struggle emotionally He is the one that I seek. He is the one that brings clarity, wisdom and healing in my life.

Psalm 23
“The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression or suicidal thoughts I strongly encourage you to read Psalm 23 out loud over and over and let it get deep within your spirit. Even before you begin to read it ask God what He is speaking directly to you through His words. At times in our life we feel very lonely and feel like we are the only one having a hard time. I am here to tell you that I know that I know that I know that you are never alone and I am never alone. God is with me always. His spirit is inside of me and inside of you. He will speak to you, direct your paths, comfort you and protect you.

Simply speak the name of Jesus and healing will begin immediately.

“By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.” Acts 3:16

Where to Start Reading the Bible?

Posted on by

Hi! I’m Linda Kuhar your Christian Life Coach. The purpose of my videos is to share my personal relationship with God in hopes that it helps you build a stronger more intimate with relationship with him.

I would love to hear from you with any questions you might have about having a relationship with the Lord and I will answer them in my videos. Email your questions to linda@lindakuhar.com or leave a comment below. For some great resources to help you connect with God CLICK HERE!

You might wonder how to read the bible or where to start reading in the bible. There are a few places I encourage you to start. The book of John is a great place because it shares more about Jesus as a person and what he did so it helps you connect with the fact that he understands all that you are going through. The book of Romans shares the gospel of Jesus or the teachings of Jesus’ life. If you are struggling with stress, anxiety or fears I recommend the book of Psalms. And last but not least Proverbs is an excellent book to read for wisdom or guidance for your every day life.

One Healthy Habit that Changed My Life

Posted on by

As a 42-year-old woman I can honestly say I’ve spent at least half of my life or more attempting to find ways to be “healthy”. Like most people I start something new and think I’m going to stick with it this time and then fall off the wagon at some point and find myself at square one all over again.

On top of all the try again stop again yo-yoing; I end up feeling bad about myself while negative self-talk and defeating thoughts begin to weigh me down.

Can you relate?

But something dawned on my recently after a spiritual retreat I hosted. For the last twenty plus years I’ve practiced one healthy habit through ever trial, heartache, triumph and victory that has consistently brought me to better health. And with this practice I can honestly say I would not be the person I am today without it. It’s something that I don’t do every single day of my life, but it is something I reach for in times of deep struggle, frustration, anxiety and in times of reflection, hope, prayer, planning and dreaming.

The one healthy habit that continues to change my life and has for years is journaling.

There is no specific way to journal, it’s simply picking up a pen and putting it to paper. It can be one word or hundreds of words. You simply let your heart, mind and emotions lead you. I want to encourage you that even if you’re someone who does not like to write, you must give it a try!

I promise this is one new healthy habit that will propel you forward beyond anything you can imagine. Grab a journal and pen today!

I would love to hear from you. Leave me a comment and let me know one of your healthy habits.

Politics + Social Media = Love {and a BOOK GIVEAWAY!}

Posted on by

Have you been struggling with all the negativity in social media around politics?

It literally makes me feel every possible emotion within seconds! Angry, mad, sad, happy, excited, hopefully, discouraged, disgusted … basically crazy.

The other week after the women’s march the very next morning I woke up asking how can I make a difference? My heart’s desire is to be like Jesus and sincerely love all people through compassion. But how do I honestly live this out each day with so much pain in the world, I questioned? Before I opened my bible I asked God to show me what to do and this is the scripture that spoke to my soul.

“The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self controlled so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8

I thought, in order for me to be clear minded I must not fill my mind with negativity. And to be self controlled I must not remain in situations that influence me to make poor decisions. To truly love others deeply I must stay connected to God through intentional prayer. So last week instead of reading social media I used that time to read God’s word and pray for ALL people.

To be honest with you this stretched me. It was hard for me not to turn to social media to find out the latest update on all the drama in the world. However, by the end of the week I realized how much peace I felt.

I felt lighter. Less stressed. More patient. Simply hopeful.

Hopeful because I know that no matter how different our opinions are in this life, God is ultimately in control. I am confident there is no need to fear because the battle is already won. Victory is on my side no matter what political party I stand for. Jesus wins! I can rest in pure love.

So when I hop back on social media, I have decided to look at it through God’s eyes … LOVE. When I feel the opposite arise in me, I will simply hit the off button and pray. It is time to live out what I believe, not by merely reading God’s word but doing God’s word. God’s word is a very clear and detailed on how I must love others and while it’s not a piece of cake to implement, I can do it!

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Holy Spirit I pray for you to do a work in my heart so that I can make a difference. Give me strength to choose your ways over my ways. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

How To Overcome Criticism

Posted on by

Everybody struggles with defeating thoughts; we are not alone in this. The enemy will attack our worth via criticism. We have to stop letting negativity lead us. Instead, take it captive and lead it with the truth.

SpeakHisTruth

Whenever the lies bombard me, I can speak these five truths out loud instead.

1) God will never condemn me. He does not disapprove of me. He does not criticize or blame me. He does not find fault in me (Rom. 8:1–2).

2) God has not given me a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline (2 Tim. 1:7).

3) I am strong, and the word of God lives in me, and I have overcome the evil one (1 John 2:14).

4) I am in perfect peace because I trust in God as my thoughts stay fixed on him (Isa. 26:3).

5) I have been given authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will harm me (Luke 10:19).

Bad Habits to New Habits

Posted on by

I’m inviting you to pray this today: “Search the inner depths of my heart and expose anything that is not of You so I can be set free of it.” Excerpt from Stormie Omartian’s book The Power of Prayer to Change Your Marriage.

What do you need to be set free from?

In my quiet time I was reading Psalm 5:11-12 and part of it reads “Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.” All of a sudden my eyes were opened to a “bad” habit I have. I have a habit of not being joyful, instead I have a habit of anxious thoughts and worrying.

I’ve decided I want to create a new habit of gratitude, thankful and joy filled thoughts to replace my bad habit of anxious and worried thoughts.

Let me know what “bad” habit you have and what new habit you can replace it with?
