The Art Of Waiting The Accord Sessions podcast

1:12:36

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about the seasons that we have in God, and how to know when something is over. It is important that we finish things well, and it is a requirement of God that can affect our movement into the new thing. When we know that it is time to step into the new, it is easy to become hasty in leaving the old but we have to finish as God wants us to. There are many ways of knowing when something has become old, but we have to be careful that we don't become reluctant to leave something because it is a place of comfort, and we also have to make sure that we are grateful for what God has built in our lives through that.…

Dealing With Difficult People 1:07:17

1:07:17

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about how to deal with difficult people, especially when those people are also in Christ. There is a difference between those who are dysfunctional and those who are toxic, and we know that God requires us to pray for those who are difficult, to love and forgive them, and to bless them, because that displays the character of Jesus and gives grace an opportunity to work. It is acceptable to God to not agree with our brother, but there must be no disunity, and we keep unity by keeping a correct heart towards each other which is why forgiveness is commanded.…

God Made Me Do It 1:02:18

1:02:18

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about how it feels to be backed into a corner by God where He pushes you into the place that He wants you to be in. This can feel quite overwhelming, scary and out of our control but that is the beauty of it! It is out of our control because it is in His control, and that often happens because at some point, we have made a promise to God and He is now calling that promise in.…

Make Sure You Are Free 1:12:29

1:12:29

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about what it means to be truly free and how easy it is for us to have areas of restriction or bondage in our lives. 1 Corinthians 6 v 12 is a key scripture for us in this where it tells us that all things are available but not all things are beneficial. We must feel that we are free to do anything, whether or not we ever act on that is a separate issue, but we must know that we have the freedom to do anything.…

Death to Self 1:08:39

29 days ago1:08:39

1:08:39

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about death to self and consider that it isn't quite what we think it is. Dying to self is not actually word for word in scripture, but it is a concept that is often misunderstood, or becomes our central driving force that creates striving and self effort. Dying to self is not a hatred of ourself, it is a love for Christ more than ourself, and it is the choosing of Him over the choosing of ourself first.…

The Great Adventure 1:10:45

1:10:45

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about life in God which is the greatest adventure. It can fill us with excitement, joy, desire and happiness, but it can also be a time where we feel fear, anticipation and the voices in our mind can become very loud. The adventure requires faith, blind faith, where we completely and utterly trust God and have faith in the journey that He has mapped out for us even if we do not know all of the details and cannot fully see yet where we are going.…

1:09:28

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about the power of repentance and asking God to create a new heart within us. Sometimes, we can forget about the fullness of repentance and that can cause us to not repent properly, and then we carry sin that we don't know that we have. When we repent properly, there is a complete change where God creates in us a new heart, and that it is a place of freedom and joy where we don't have to stay where we are but can instead have new dialogue, new relationship, and new proximity with God.…

Seeing Things God's Way 1:05:59

1:05:59

In this podcast, The Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about how important it is that we are able to see things the way that God sees them. Our perception of ourselves, situations and others can be so different to how God sees them, and it can be shocking when we understand that. But we have to come into a new place of agreeing with God about who He says we are, and that is an exciting place where we can partner with God, follow the prompting of Holy Spirit, and walk confidently in new levels of freedom in Him.…

1:15:04

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about the art of waiting and that as we wait on the Lord, we renew our strength. Waiting on the Lord is not about waiting for knowledge, but it is about waiting for understanding. We have our own understanding but we cannot fully rely on that. Instead, we trust in the Lord, rely fully on Him and submit to Him, and as we do that, we take our thoughts captive and renew our minds daily.…

9 weeks ago1:07:29

1:07:29

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about what true joy is and how we have the joy and hope of our salvation. The joy that we have in Him comes from the hope that we have in Him, and it is the result of us being authentic and confident in our personality. It is not put on, but instead is a strong foundation that can build our lives upon as we portray an accurate representation of life in Christ.…

Working Out Your Own Salvation 1:10:36

1:10:36

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about how important it is in our own lives that we work out our own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2 v 12). It can be easy at times to get too caught up in building our communities or building our own lives but it is important to have a healthy balance of the two. We are personally responsible for our own lives and our personal relationship with God, and from that, we are then able to build accurately and sustainably within our communities.…

1:11:32

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about the things that can move us forward and the things that move us backward. Sometimes, we think that when we do nothing there is no movement and we are stationary, but the truth is that there are things that can take us backward very quickly. In God, our movement should always be forward and on an upward trajectory towards Him.…

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about the movement that God is requiring at the moment as we continue to look at our purpose and desires. God is the same yesterday, today and forever, but He moves, and when He moves, it is our responsibility to get up and move to wherever He is. It is true that He will come to us but it is so much better for us to go to where He is.…

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, look at Jeremiah 29 v 11, and talk about the plans and purposes that God has for us. God designed the blueprint for our life long before we were born, and He is our creator. We have to come to a place of agreement with God about who He says we are and the plans that He has for us. Our lives are built on His preferences and purposes, but we have to steward that and carry that carefully as we are obedient to it.…

1:07:13

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about feelings and emotions, and how we have to surrender them to God and not be ruled by them. Our feelings and emotions are God given, and we must stand in secured relief and understanding that they have purpose and design within our architecture. God expects us to manage our feelings in a way that aligns with His principles and teachings. While emotions themselves are natural and part of being human, the Bible encourages us to process and respond to our feelings in a way that honors God.…

1:11:01

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, delve into Psalm 86 and consider what it means for God to teach us His way. At times, we can get so caught in with day to day life and our own ways that we forget the fact that God is the way, the truth and the life. All we have to do is call out to Him, and stay in His presence to hear His voice. That intimacy with Him comes through relationship with Him, and there is a simplicity to that that we have to walk carefully in.…

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, return to the Accord Studio after the Christmas break. We consider the things that God has shown us over the last few months, and talk about how we give God what He wants.

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, share about what God did in them while they were away in America. Sometimes, stepping out of our norm can enable us to see our lives differently, we can gain perspective and it can energise us to be able to walk in the mundane and connect with God differently. In this place, we can feel new levels of gratitude for what we carry and a deeper sense of the fear of the Lord as we connect with His people in a new way.…

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about the difference between knowing God and knowing about Him. 1 John 2 v 3 - 4 says, " We know that we have come to know Him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know Him,” but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. " For us, we have to be able to say that we know God and have an intimate relationship with Him where we represent Him well and where He is first in our lives.…

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi talk about the fact that when God is calling for us to mature, step up, and move to where He is, it can feel as though we are having an identity crisis. We can feel disorientated, shaken, and can lack confidence but that is the time to stand in His presence and just be. Our identity is vital, and we have to understand the importance that it holds so that we don't slip into a pattern of being so focussed on the doing that we forget about being. We cannot be so focussed on the kingdom that we forget about the king.…

How to Change 1:06:01

28 weeks ago1:06:01

1:06:01

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about how important change is and the various things that can prevent us from changing. Change is actually very simple. It is the proof of obedience and careful process with Him. It is the result of realisation and surrender and the self control to stay on the path and not wander off to find a short cut or easier way. Change ironically is the result of staying, not in the old but on the path to the new, and it is the sign of willingness to surrender ourselves to Him because we know His way is better, and we trust the process because we trust Him so movement isn't that difficult if we just do it His way.…

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about the fact that God has a plan and a purpose for everyone, but it is completely up to us how much of that we want. God requires us to be faithful in the little things, and then when we are faithful, He entrusts us with more. God uses consistent people not perfect people, and the way we are consistent is by obedience. Our faithfulness in our obedience is where we learn to give our all. Our obedience enables us to do things differently because of Him, and it enables God to show us what life looks like!…

1:11:08

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about the limitations that we can place upon ourselves, and how they can prevent us from walking into the new thing that God has for us. Sometimes, we tell God that we want more without considering the cost of that and without that being a genuine position within our heart. We can limit ourselves by not lifting up our head, forgetting who it is that we serve, or losing sight of what it is that we carry. We are designed to be the light, and we need to carry that carefully with joy, hope and excitement, because God's kingdom is full of adventure and a place of complete surrender.…

Context of Christ 1:08:00

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about how important it is that we understand context in Christ. Context enables us to see the bigger picture, and it brings understanding to the knowledge that we already have. Sometimes, Scriptures can appear to be contradicting themselves. But the truth is that it if we dig a bit deeper to look at the context, then there is no contradiction there. For us, relationship is key in understanding context, and that allows us to dig deep, and gain understanding.…

In this podcast, the Accord Team, talk about lifting up your head and seeing God. Sometimes, we can become so burdened and swamped by life that we feel the weight of that on our shoulders and it can take quite a lot for us to simply lift up our heads. When we do, suddenly, our perspective shifts and we can see our Father who love us and wants us to just simply sit in His presents with Him, not because we want anything, but because He is our Creator, our Father, our Lord, and our hope then is in Him.…

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi talk about the lessons learnt over the summer and what God has been doing. For us, hope is a key throughout our lives, and it is easy to lose hope and to become hopeless especially when dealing with things like crisis or systems of the world. But our hope has to be anchored in Him, and sometimes, we need correct perspective to be able to see what He is doing in our lives. A lack of perspective can cause us to lose hope, but that is when we need to be able to rely on Holy Spirit and the people we trust around us to show us the correct perspective so that we can see God's hand at work.…

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about the difference between the easy life and living a life of ease. There seems to be some that have it harder than others, and some seem to live from crisis to crisis or even in a perpetual run of hardship, and they always seem to be fighting something. It is naive to consider that those who get the quiet life are 'blessed' by God and in His favour, and those who always go through things are not favoured by God, because that is a religious and broken idea that makes us believe God has favourites based upon our ability to be 'good' and not rock the boat.…

In this podcast, the Accord Team, talk about the difference between apologising and saying sorry, and how one little work can really change our lives when we say it correctly. God never requires us to do lip service, in fact that is offensive to Him. He always requires sincerity and integrity, which is the commitment to apply what is correct, but we need to mean it. Sorry is meant to be a beautiful and meaningful moment where truth prevails and light overshadows darkness. It is the moment where what is right becomes sacred, and sincerity is secured within us.…

We live in a world where there are completely wrong systems that are embedded in dark and destructive architecture. But the beautiful and powerful thing about Christ, is that it doesn't matter how bad or embedded we are in our own negativity and wrong beliefs about our value, we can change in a moment, and there comes a point when we need to agree with Him about who He says we are, and start building correct architecture in our lives from that truth.…

How to Fight Your Battles 1:03:43

1:03:43

In this podcast, the Accord Team, Rebecca and Naomi, talk about the battle that we are facing at the moment and how we fight those battles in God. We all enjoy the building of our faith in Christ until it's tested, and most of our testing comes when the giants come over the hill and we need to stand in what we know. Faith sometimes is messy, and it is not always calm, peaceful and confident. Sometimes it is chaotic and appears to be weak and erratic or bitty, and in a storm we may only have faith as a little mustard seed, God says in His Word that's okay. God sometimes chooses to use crisis to move us from the old to the new, and we may feel the pain of losing ourselves in that moment. This is hard, but it is better than feeling the pain of losing Him, simply because we will not rely on Him in moments of attack.…
