Do you have the tools to keep hope alive?
Today's guest, Kat Vazquez, shares how the Lord called her to
reach out to those in darkness and offer them tools to amplify
hope.
Kat and her husband Jorge are the founders of Revolution Media
Ministries and the husband-wife team behind The Revolution TV and
Your Story Is Not Done film series. Evangelists, authors, and TV
hosts for over 15 years, the husband and wife team are called to
evangelize the lost, while empowering the Church to do the
same.
Kat shares the origin of Your Story is Not Done in her
heartfelt compassion and mentorship for a struggling friend many
moons ago. She and her husband founded this mission of hope after
receiving visions and dreams in the years to follow. They launched
the book, which offers tools to amplify hope, as the pandemic
struck.
Kat explains that we all
have calls on our lives, but sometimes stumble on the way to
fulfilling our purpose. She says, "But the Lord is not intimidated
or frustrated or put off by us trying to figure out and navigate
through all of that. He just wants us to ask Him for help, to
invite him back into our real and to trust in who he says he is,
that he is a good father."
We discuss the examples
seen in flawed heroes of scripture for whom God brought about
redemption and purpose. Kat notes how Jesus can rewrite our
story.
When we struggle to hold
onto hope and pursue our call, Vazquez encourages the
following:
- Keep talking with the Lord.
Invite the Holy Spirit into your real struggle and
suffering.
- Allow a healthy, spiritual
community to love and support you.
- Find mentors to help you
grow.
- Seek professional support
to bring healing for trauma, addiction, or other intense
struggles.
- Carve out time to let the
Holy Spirit renew and refresh your weary soul.
- Depend on Jesus and your
relationship with him to anchor your faith.
- Abide in Christ during
difficult seasons.
- Don't give up. Your story
is not done.
Kat advises, "Pray
for wisdom ... There is such a value in resting and allowing the
Lord to come and fill up your empty vessel again. Because he loves
you. He cares for you. He is El Roi. He is a God that sees me. It
just wrecks me when I think about that. He's the God that sees me.
He sees me. He knows what I'm walking through, how hard it is. But
His Grace is sufficient. So invite him into your real and allow him
to fill your cup to overflowing. I promise it will be worth
it."
