What happens when you send a text message without checking your heart posture first? Could something so simple have spiritual ramifications? In this  Faith Bit, ALI explores how surrendering our communications to God transforms our relationships from the inside out.

True surrender isn't just about the big life decisions—it's about inviting God into every detail of our daily interactions. When we fail to bring God into our communications, we allow simple misunderstandings to evolve into offense, bitterness, and rejection. A yielded vessel, however, welcomes divine intervention in emotions, thought patterns, and even text messages.

The most profound spiritual transformations often begin in these seemingly mundane moments. When God checks our heart posture before we hit send, He prevents unforeseen negative outcomes in our relationships. Through vulnerable insights and a powerful prayer of surrender, this episode challenges listeners to identify any hidden areas not yet yielded to God. Whether you're struggling with communication issues or simply wanting deeper connections, this Faith Bit offers practical guidance for becoming a better steward of the relationships God has placed in your life. Ask yourself today: what areas of communication have I not fully surrendered, and what might change if I invited God into those spaces?

Speaker 1:

Hey everyone, welcome back to Faith Bits with Allie. I'm your host, allie, with your daily faith bit. You know it's so important to yield every area to the Lord, including our friendships or relationships. I've learned that communication is so important in order to grow and strengthen relationships. In order to grow and strengthen relationships, when we don't communicate, we choose to allow simple situations to turn into offense, bitterness or rejection, just to name a few.

Speaker 1:

A yielded vessel, though, one that's submitted to the Lord and surrendered, allows God to touch every area, including emotions, old habits, old thought patterns, old coping mechanisms, just to name a few. So I say this to you to say heal well and surrender, allow God to speak in your everyday actions, everyday emotions. That includes something as simple as allowing God in when you send a text message, because the truth is you could send something with the wrong heart posture and cause spiritual ramifications. What am I saying? I'm saying that your actions can cause unforeseen outcomes. So when you invite God into every aspect, into every detail of your life, he will check you and say to you don't send that message or what's your posture behind that message, because the reality is it matters. So take some time and yield every area to the Lord and ask him to identify any area that you have not surrendered.

Speaker 1:

Let me pray for you, lord. We thank you for being you. We wholeheartedly surrender every aspect of our lives. If there's any hidden area in us that needs to be surrendered, lord, expose the enemy. Expose the enemy.

Speaker 1:

Lord, I just thank you for being yielded vessels. We desire to invite you into every aspect of our lives and so, lord, if there's any hidden area in us that has not been yet surrendered to you, we welcome you in. We welcome you in and we allow you to be God in our lives. God, we welcome you into our relationships, our communication, and we pray that, if there is Anything that is Blocking or hindering our relationships or connections, that you would remove it now, lord. So, thank you, lord. We come back trusting you in all things and we sever all ungodly covenants. We thank you for those godly connections and covenants and relationships that we're supposed to be a part of that. You're strengthening them even now. Thank you, lord. Teach us to be better communicators and to steward the relationships that you have placed in our lives, to steward them well. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen, peace, love and blessings.
