Manifesting a Fruitful LifeIn this episode of A Word for Your Soul, we dive into the power of replacing old habits with those that align with God’s will, allowing us to produce the good fruit He desires (Matthew 12:33). Inspired by Shameless Maya’s testimony, we explore the importance of surrender and making a covenant with God rather than striving in our own strength (Deuteronomy 29:9). No matter how far we’ve strayed, God restores us when we turn back to Him (Deuteronomy 30:2-3). Learn how confession, delighting in God’s presence, and committing everything to Him can lead to transformation.  Mentioned In Show Shameless Maya:  “ New Mom, Broke and Struggling: Here’s How I Got Out of My Hole | A Message for Mothers.” YouTube Link:  https://youtu.be/5qDd-5v-MHk?si=7vmTFPPm9zcxTU7SScriptures Covered in This Episode Matthew 12:33 (NLT) “ A tree is identified by its fruit.
