81 year old CONNY ZANDER is an Ann Arbour, Michigan, Glory story.
She grew up Lutheran, and became Catholic in the 1990's.
She is the founder of OUR LADY OF GRACE bookstore, situated in the 217 acre Catholic megaplex that is Domino's Farms - the international HQ of Domino's Pizza (Domino's founder, Tom Monaghan, is a super-committed Catholic).
The history of how the store came to be involves prophetic dreams, divine alignments, and walking by faith and not by sight.
It was an absolute joy to hear Conny's story, and an even greater joy to capture it in this podcast.
Recorded LIVE in Ann Arbor, Michigan - in Conny's delightful, Jesus-and-Mary-picture-filled living room.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE AN OVERCOMER?
That means, "More than a conqueror, in any and every situation".
VICTORY, in the midst of ADVERSITY, is the promised inheritance, for all of us who profess Jesus Christ as Lord.
BUT, we must do our part. Get in The Word. Send forth The Word into our 'impossible' situations (ie. declare it out loud). Then, stand steadfast in Faith (ie. don't falter if the situation doesn't change immediately) - and watch our MIRACLE WORKING GOD do MIGHTY MIRACLES in your life - in the mighty name of Jesus.
This episode will build your faith for MIRACLES, in your 'impossible' situations.
REMEMBER: Nothing is impossible for our God (Matthew 19:26)

The Word of God tells us that 'the POWER of life and death is in the spoken word'. (Proverbs 18:21).
From Genesis to Revelation, God tells us that His plan, promise and purpose is brought forth, from the supernatural into the natural, by His 'spoken, sent out' Word.
We are Christ's mouthpieces on planet earth. We, as believers in Jesus Christ, have the power to speak God's Word over natural situations, to change natural situations.
Like God, we can 'call things that do not exist as though they did', in Jesus' Name.
VICTORY IN LIFE comes in knowing, believing and DECLARING, The Word of God.

Today is Word Of God Sunday, here in Australia (we celebrate this special day on the first Sunday in February, as opposed to the third Sunday in Ordinary Time).
It is one of my favourite days of the year (although, I do say that about many days ... 366 days, in fact).
The Word of God is spirit and life. We can be filled to overflowing with peace, joy, freedom, abundance, wisdom, power and LIFE, if we abide daily in His Word.

From Genesis to Revelation, the scriptures tell us that it is GOD - and God alone - who promotes.
AND, He is the Father of Divine Recompense, Restoration, Vindication and Promotion.
If you need encouragement about a situation in your life that seems dead, lost, unseen, unlikely, impossible - rejoice! God specialises in fixing those sorts of situations.

UNFORGIVENESS is a major bondage for many people. Holding on to offence, hurt, bitterness and resentment keeps them trapped in the past, unable to live in the freedom Christ died to give us.
The world's top medical experts have also found that unforgiveness is behind a long list of health conditions, including cancer.
This makes so much sense, because Sin and Sickness are tied together, and God repeatedly tells us in scripture that unless we forgive others, neither will God forgive our sins.
Matthew 6:14 + Ephesians 4:32 + Colossians 3:13

The prophet Ezekiel tells a powerful story of the healing waters bringing life to the dead sea - a sea that was literally life-less (Ezekial 47).
The healing waters refer to the healing power of God - His holy spirit, His Word, His life.
"WHEREVER the waters flow, everything will be healed" - Ezekiel 47:9.
This is a PROMISE for every daughter and son of God. Any place in your life that is dead and life-less, the power of God WILL HEAL IT.
BELIEVE IT, RECEIVE IT, DECLARE IT in your life today, in Jesus' Name

Today is your day. You do not need to live one more day defeated, depressed, despairing, despondent. You are a child of the most high God, and as such, NOTHING - NO THING - can defeat you. Your inheritance as a co-heir with Christ means abundant joy, peace, hope, faith, favour, power, health & victory. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Knowing what God’s Word says about me has RADICALLY transformed my life. I know that I am ‘the head and never the tail; I am increasing only and never decreasing’. (Deuteronomy 28) I know that God has set me high above all the other nations/people of the earth (Deuteronomy 26 + 28) If you are a follower of Christ, this is your inheritance too. But in order to experience this truth, you must KNOW and BELIEVE this truth.

Peace, rest, freedom, LIFE is your rightful inheritance as a child of God!
Jesus died on the cross for you to live in health, wholeness and freedom in every area of your life.
Living in bondage to anxiety, depression, fear, or any other mental torment is NOT GOD'S WILL FOR YOU.
Yes, there will be trials and suffering in this life - BUT, scripture tell us that 'in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Christ" - Romans 8:37.
It is totally possible to have deep peace and joy, even in the midst of fiery trials and suffering.
In fact, that is what we are called and commanded to: "Seek Peace and pursue it" - Psalm 34 + "Be full of joy ALWAYS" - 1 Thessalonians 5:16
But this is impossible in our own human strength. The ONLY way this is possible is by being totally anchored and focused on Christ, and His Word.
I can tell you from years of lived experience: We will not have VICTORY or FREEDOM in our minds and hearts until we know and believe and obey The Word of God.
DAILY MEDITATION ON THE WORD OF GOD WILL TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE - I am living proof.

PENTECOST = POWER ... for miracles, signs and wonders.
The great works Jesus did while on planet earth - healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead, multiplying a child's lunch to feed 15,000 people, pulling a coin worth hundreds of dollars out of the mouth of a fish - ALL these works, He desires to do through us, His church, right now, in 2021.
In fact, 'GREATER WORKS than these shall you do, because I go to my Father' (John 14:12)

PROPHECY is one of the amazing (I would say, most fun) gifts of the Holy Spirit.
God used prophecy throughout the old and new testaments, to speak His Word to His people.
And the new testament is VERY clear that PROPHECY is meant to be a 'normal' part of the Christian life ... yes, even now, in 2021.
Tune in to this episode to hear some amazing real-life stories of how God blesses people through the power of prophecy.

There are crazy-awesome benefits to being a child of God.
1. SALVATION - umm, eternity in heaven? Yes please.
2. THE GLOW - There are so many scriptures that refer to the 'radiance' of those who trust in the Lord.
This is not just some fanciful notion. This is a real, tangible thing.
The radiance of God's glory in our spirit actually radiates out of our soul and body.
You can tap into this GLOW yo'self today - gaze upon the glory of the Lord.

We receive the promises of God, only through BELIEF!
The mighty book of Acts in the New Testament outlines the AH-MAZ-ING works done by the disciples in the early church - signs, wonders & miracles, EVERYWHERE!
We should be seeing the same things in our lives.
If we call ourselves 'believers' in Jesus Christ, we need to get rid of unbelief in our hearts, and step into the power-packed life that Jesus died for us to have.

Are you in a place of anonymity and obscurity right now? Do you feel unseen, unheard, unknown and perhaps unwanted?
Sister, you are not alone! It's a tough place. And can feel very lonely and very isolating.
But it is THAT secret 'wilderness' place where God often does his deepest work, preparing us for our 'next' season.
Stay faithful to where God has called you .... He PROMISES to reward what is done in secret.

God's Kingdom is outrageously counter-cultural. He tells us to LOVE, BLESS and DO GOOD to our haters. To those people who persecute us and spitefully use us. Oh! It's hard on our flesh! ... but ultimately, such a message of freedom. 'Cuz when we obey and live out this command, we are proving that we are children of God. And He promises to BLESS US and work all things out in our favour. Our haters need the love of Christ.

This is for the ladies! God is calling us to the step out of the boat and be water-walkers.
What is your 'impossible' situation? What is your 'impossible' dream?
Let me tell you: it ain't impossible to our God!
'Impossibles' are his MO.
He wants to show-off and show-out in your life and prove it was HIM, and only Him, who turned your situation around!
Surround yo'self with other water-walking women, and let's step out and fully live our divine purpose in Christ.
