Hi, and welcome to Jesus Over Everything, a short practical podcast that mixes encouragement,

the Bible, how-toes, and fantastic interviews for the listener on the go. I'm Lisa Whittle,

and I welcome you to just a few minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be time well spent.

Week two of our six weeks to a permanent priority shift. And whether you're joining us for that

actual process or not, I'm glad you're here because we're going to talk about something important

to our faith. And yes, in the process of the journey of a consumer fast or general reordering of

our life, discovery. When we lay something down to get more of God, one of the most amazing

things I believe happens and one of the things one of the most amazing things I believe happens,

and one of the things I crave the most, is that God begins to reveal things to us in a way,

unlike before. Let's get into that today on Joe.

So this past December, I took a month off from social media.

And it was something the Lord had revealed to me months prior that he wanted me to do in the month of December, very specific.

So I knew for some months I was going to do it.

And then when the time finally arrived, I remember that day I went off social media.

I went to bed that night. In the middle of the

night, God spoke to my heart. He revealed something to me. It wasn't huge, but it was definitely

the Lord impressing upon me something. And the thing that really struck me about it was the fact of how

he was even speaking to me, something very real and poignant, and I couldn't

argue with the timing. I had known he wanted me to lay down social media for December. I'd known

that for a while, and I knew I was going to, and I was willing, but it wasn't until I actually

did it that he had that very night revealed some things to my heart.

If we truly want to hear from God, we're going to remove any obstacle that would hinder it.
