Setting Boundaries to Live Free

by

Are You Communicating Your Limits?

Listen to Podcast below or Watch on YouTube.

In past podcasts, I’ve discussed boundaries as beneficial to put God first. But have you ever thought about how boundaries prevent others from trying to make YOU their god? 

Relationships can contain a hidden, unhealthy power struggle, producing unhealthy worship on both ends. 

Walking on eggshells to keep abuse at bay, prevent rejection, or maintain the peace, has the potential to position YOU as their god – holding you responsible for their emotions, actions, and comfort. 

Falsely believing you must never let others down by always being there for them, rescuing or fixing them, steps into God’s shoes. 

Has someone blamed you for their ugly words or actions towards you? Did you shoulder unnecessary shame because you mistakenly thought it was your responsibility? 

While we can appreciate and admire, only the Almighty is worthy of worship.

This spiritual boundary set by God is a vital reason to set boundaries with others. When you don’t communicate limits, others could see you as limitless and lean on you in a way that only God is worthy to bear. 

In today’s teaching message, we are diving into how the blood of Jesus provides spiritual boundaries, inviting us to trust God and lead others to do the same.

ONWARD!

How to Discern God’s Voice when Setting Boundaries

by

What is the Belt of Truth?

Listen to the Podcast or Watch on YouTube.

Codependency led me to live in captivity.  

While no physical prison bars confined me, my controlling tendencies and self-sufficiency robbed me of real freedom and prevented me from walking in God’s power.

All in the name of survival, fear and oppression drove me to develop the faulty defense mechanisms of control and self-sufficiency, instead of walking in God’s power under His protection.

Can you relate? 

One of the enemy’s greatest calling cards is using lies to trigger you to function out of fear, rather than faith – to use your armor to fight and fend for yourself.  

Discovering how to discern God’s voice to set boundaries was a vital part of releasing my armor. I was able to take hold of one of the most powerful parts of God’s spiritual armor – the belt of truth.

God’s discernment will give you guidance to set boundaries His way. 

In today’s message, discover how to grow in your discernment, secure the belt of truth, set boundaries with God’s guidance and confidently live out your calling. 

ONWARD!

Win the Battles in Your Mind by Setting Boundaries in Your Thinking.

Listen to the Podcast or Watch on YouTube.

There are all kinds of battlefields. 

What is or was your warzone? Where did the enemy of your soul lob his unfair, ferocious, fiery darts relentlessly, one after another – so much so that the crazy became comfortable? 

Perhaps you left your battlefield long ago, but you notice that the battle has not left you.

You still feel anxiety, anger, insecurity, hopelessness, or fear. Often, after a cease-fire, the greatest battle lies ahead – the battle of setting boundaries in your thinking. 

How has the enemy normalized dysfunction so that you settle, instead of setting boundaries to soar? 

Now hear this treasured one – your past doesn’t have to dictate your future. 

In today’s message, see how God can shift your paradigm by painting a new picture of what could be. It’s time to see faith beyond your familiar… with new steps to live in freedom as God intended! 

I am always cheering you on!

ONWARD,

How to Handle Boundary Disrespect

by

Are People Respecting Your Boundaries?

Listen to the Podcast or Watch on YouTube.

God is NOT calling you to be a doormat. 

In a perfect world, people respect boundaries. But we all know that life doesn’t work out neat and tidy. 

People are messy.

Just because we set a boundary does not necessarily mean people will respect that boundary. 

Boundary pushers show up in different ways. They display traits like narcissism, immaturity, entitlement, selfishness, privilege, desperation, cluelessness, or a toxic mix of any of these. 

For the love of Pete! These people pursue their desires regardless of your boundaries, often disregarding them completely!

Has someone blown off a boundary you set and you’re looking for how to navigate the situation with wisdom?  In today’s teaching message, discover Biblical strategies to deal with boundary disrespect, God’s Way. 

Much Love,

Aliene

Am I Setting Boundaries Wrong?

by

Avoid These Mistakes when Setting Boundaries.

Listen to the podcast below or watch on YouTube.

You know I am your biggest cheerleader when it comes to setting boundaries. YOU GO GIRL! 

But… have you ever taken a courageous step to set boundaries and experienced frustration instead of freedom, leading to these doubtful thoughts? 

  • “Setting boundaries never works for me – why bother?”
  • “No one respects me. I should just continue to go with the flow and hide my voice.”
  • “I must be wrong and selfish for setting that boundary…”

Now, hear this brave soul. Your desire to protect your heart, mind, body, time, and other sacred trusts from the Lord is NOT selfish, wrong, or shameful. 

Sometimes when we set boundaries, the right motive is combined with the wrong methodology, and we wind up wounded instead of free.

The real peace your heart craves comes from setting boundaries, God’s way. 

In our teaching message today, discover and gain the skills you need to set boundaries God’s way and live in freedom as he intended.

ONWARD!

What Does God Say About Boundaries?

by

God’s Boundary System Explained

Listen to the podcast or watch on YouTube

You matter. Your life matters.

And when you own that truth, you can live treasured and walk in the light, to be a light, so that others can live cherished too (Exodus 19:4-5, Peter 2:9).  

God has a perfect boundary system designed to protect what is precious to his heart and this includes YOU! But what is precious to God, Satan loves to attack with his destructive lies.

Do you ever hear thoughts like: 

  • You’re a disappointment to God. How could he forgive THAT?
  • You can’t trust God to take care of you. You must fend and fight for yourself. 
  • God’s ways don’t bring freedom; they confine you.

I have heard all of these lies…and they reinforced my codependency!  Why would I want to depend on God if I believed these lies deep in my heart?  

When I started spending time in God’s Word for myself, I saw everything differently….. because I was looking through the lens of truth with eyes of faith. Here’s what the Holy Spirit has written and sealed so strongly in my heart is that I can live in confidence, security and best of all GOD-DEPENDENCY!

  • God delights in caring for me.
  • God is my defender.
  • God is for me and is behind me.
  • God wants to liberate me to live a fulfilled life!

God’s boundary system puts me in the security of his care and protection but most of all, it LIBERATES me to live a fulfilled life and become the woman he created me to be. 

Do you want to live in this freedom too?  

Listen to today’s teaching message and open the gift of God’s boundary system to live in freedom as God intended.

ONWARD!

Breaking Generational Patterns

by

How to Break Free from Your Past

Listen to the podcast or watch on YouTube.

We do not have to live our lives stuck in patterns we may not even fully understand. We aren’t alone in the search for the root of our pain, and we don’t have to go into what can be a painful experience alone. 

Christ is before us, behind us, and with us. Ask Him to lead you to the pain of your past to allow for genuine and real healing. As we seek Him, we can understand our own hearts and the triggers they have.

We have a lot to relearn, a lifetime of lies and deep-rooted pain, but the power of the cross transcends through time to right those wrongs and confront those lies. 

God’s love is not afraid of where you’ve come from. 

No matter how toxic, He does not see you as too far gone… 

You are simply and wonderfully HIS. 

In today’s teaching message, discover how to let God’s love reclaim your heart and mind to break generational patterns. One day at a time, one step at a time, you can leave blessings in your wake for generations to come. 

ONWARD!

Boundaries God’s Way

by

Setting Biblical Boundaries 

Listen to Our Podcast Below or Watch the YouTube Video Here

As we are all made in God’s image, we are called to love as He loves, and boundaries are a part of loving others. 

Beware, treasured one, of Satan’s scripture-twisted lie that boundaries are unkind. 

“If God is not only loving, but He is love, He cannot act otherwise.” 1 John 4:8 

He does not sin or lie. Therefore, limits are not loveless. When prompted by the Holy Spirit, they are love.

Since the beginning of time, God has set sacred boundaries to guard what He values. Placing a protective limit out of love was God’s first post-creation action in the Garden of Eden; when He instructed Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:16-17). This caring command was the first of many agape-driven limits God gave to His people.

Who better to teach us and talk to us about boundaries than our Creator? 

In today’s teaching message from Exodus 19, we will look to the author and originator of boundaries – the One True God – and uncover timeless truths about Biblical boundaries that you can begin to set today.  

Boundary guidance from the Holy Spirit builds healthy relationships. So, let’s seek God with all we have and love others, His way, as we discover boundaries that are Biblical, beneficial, and built on love. 

You’ve got this! 

ONWARD,

Aliene
