Hey Sis, in this 2nd installment of the Faith series, we get honest about something many believers feel but rarely talk about: It’s how the Word of God confronts you before it blesses you. Before the breakthrough, the Word searches you. Before the blessing, the Word exposes what needs healing. Before the increase, the Word reveals what must be uprooted. Using Isaiah 55, Mark 4, Hebrews 4:12, and my personal journey of becoming “good soil,” this episode walks you through why God confronts the heart before He releases the promise — and why that confrontation is actually evidence of His love, not His anger. If you feel stretched, corrected, challenged, or uncomfortable in your faith right now…God isn’t punishing you. He’s preparing you. ✨ What You’ll Learn Why God’s Word confronts hidden beliefs, wounds, and fears The spiritual difference between conviction and condemnation Why blessing requires preparation How God softens the soil of your heart The connection between testing and transformation Why spiritual discomfort = spiritual growth How the Word uproots what would sabotage your breakthrough Why God confronts identity before releasing assignment ✨ Episode Takeaways God confronts what will block your blessing. The Word exposes patterns before it releases promise. You cannot receive what you won’t make room for. Good soil is formed through surrender, not striving. Testing is not rejection — it is alignment. Spiritual maturity begins when you stop resisting correction. God always cleans the place where He intends to dwell. ✨ Key Scriptures Isaiah 55:10–11 — The Word is sent on assignment Mark 4:13–20 — The four soils and the heart conditions Hebrews 4:12 — The Word discerns the heart James 1:2–4 — Testing produces endurance Jeremiah 1:10 — God uproots before He builds John 15:2–3 — Pruning precedes fruitfulness ✨ Activation Ask God:  “Lord, what are You confronting in me because You’re preparing me for more?” Journal:  Where has the Word challenged you recently?
