Ali Yost (1:32)
Hello everybody. Welcome to another episode of Christ with Coffee on Ice. I am your host, Ali Yost and it is a joy and honor to be here with you guys. If you are a new listener, I just want to acknowledge we have some new listeners. We've been gaining some more subscribers, especially on YouTube. So hi everybody. Thank you for joining the podcast. I hope that you guys have been enjoying it. This is truly the light of my life. Just just being able to come on this podcast and talk about my favorite person in the world, which is Jesus. And so yeah, I'm grateful that you guys are here and I'm also so honored to be able to do what I do. And if you have been a loyal listener and you've been listening for a long time, I love you as well. But welcome you guys. Happy Friday. We are back for another Friday and we have our coffee on ice today. We do. And. And we have our Christ first and foremost above all else, thank you, Jesus, for being Jesus. What a great day, guys. And I am just feeling so overflowed with gratitude and just affection. Like, I just feel the Lord's affection today. I don't know if this is something that's gonna, you know, really speak to a lot of you guys. I hope it does, because I was feeling it really heavy this morning of just. And I know I need it, too, of being brought back to the simple love of Jesus. I think that if, you know, you've been a follower of Jesus for a while, or maybe even just a few months, whatever that looks like, I think a lot of times it's very easy for us to kind of get into this performative. And we've talked about this before on the podcast, but just this performative kind of cycle of, like, waking up and doing your thing and even maybe losing touch with just the affection of Jesus. And, like, the simple love, that first love, that childlike love, that honeymoon, like, romance that you can have with Jesus. And, yeah, I don't know, I just think that a lot of times life can just sweep us away and, like, we can still have Jesus be a part of our life every day. It's not that we're neglecting him or not acknowledging him, but I hope this is making sense. You guys relate to that, where it's like, obviously Jesus is still very much a part of your every day, and you're praying and you're acknowledging him, but it's like we're losing the simplicity of the gospel. We're almost allowing, I don't know, like, a normalcy of just being like, yeah, Jesus, like, there he is, when it just should never be that way. Like, I pray that after today's episode, I don't know what it's going to really look like. I don't know what this episode's going to look like, but I just pray that we are brought back to just a tenderness and an awareness of his spirit and how it just isn't ever something to be taken for granted. And sometimes I think we can just kind of get used to Him. Like, we're like, yeah, I mean, what do you mean? Jesus, he's here every day. He's with me. It's not that that's a bad thing, but it's also like, let us never grow hardened or used to the fact that we literally have Jesus, and that's just something we never earned. That was something that he chose to do with dying on the cross was, like, because of the way that he died for us. We get to commune with him and his spirit is with us and we get to be connected to the Father because of Him. And so that is something that I just never, ever want to grow too familiar with. So I really feel led today, which we've done this before on the podcast. It's been a while. I don't know how long this moment is going to last. But wherever you're at, whether you're on a walk, whether you're in the car with your mom, whether you're in the car by yourself, whether you're. You're on your lunch break, whether you're in your bedroom, like, wherever you're listening to this podcast, if you're in your living room and I'm on your tv, great. Hi. But I just pray that wherever you are at, we can just come together and just pour. Pour our adoration out to Jesus. And I pray for a fresh washing. I'm gonna lead us in prayer too, right now, before we get into it, but we're gonna worship. We're just gonna look at Jesus and we're gonna pray and we're gonna sing. And I would love for all of us, unless you're operating vehicle, don't close your eyes. But I would love for all of us to close our eyes. Don't look at me anymore. And I want us to just look at Jesus. And I, I just pray for a fresh washing of an awareness of his spirit and a tenderness of our hearts towards him and that we can just feel his adoration. And we are just children right now. Like, in this moment, let us just be kids and be children of the Lord's and embrace that childlikeness past theology and like, you know, wisdom and all these things. And like, I feel the Lord encouraging us to just be like children right now. So I'm gonna pray a prayer and then we're gonna worship. There's this song that I've just recently found, and I was listening to it on the way here, and it's beautiful. It's called I Love youe, I Do by Caleb Batchel. He's incredible. I have honestly only listened to a few other songs of his. Anointed man, like Anointed man. And I just. I always feel the spirit of God when He sings. And so I'd love for us to wor together to that song. But first, let us bow our heads and just pray. Lord Jesus, thank you, God, that you are here with us today, Jesus. I just pray right now that we are coming together and this is just a space for you. To minister to our hearts. And so, Holy Spirit, I invite you right now into this moment where we can just slow down and be still. Holy Spirit, I pray that you just fill this room, fill the room of my friend on the other end. God, wherever they're at, Jesus, I pray that your love just pours into every space right now. And God, I pray that we can meet you right now as children who love you and adore you. And God, I pray that this is also an opportunity for us to feel your adoration for us that we can just receive from you, Lord. Lord, let us receive from you right now. I pray that if it's been a long time for us to really do that and slow down, God, I pray that our hearts are open and they are tender. And I pray for an encounter of your spirit, that our souls just need God, we're thirsty and we need you. And so I pray that this moment blesses my friend on the other end. And let us just commune with you and love you and feel your love, Jesus, I pray that every worry or stressor or obligation or responsibility, just any heaviness or things that could distract us from this moment, God, will you just let them fall? God, I pray that they fall right now in Jesus name, that in this moment we just forget everything else and we can just look at you because there are distractions and there are stressors and there are things that we need to get to after this. And so, God, I just pray that all those things fall and we can just be in the moment with you, even if it's just for a few minutes. Thank you, Jesus, we lift this time up to you. Amen. Okay, we're gonna play this song. I love it. You guys are also going to love it. It's amazing. Okay, we're just gonna worship. And I also, I encourage you guys right now that in your own words, wherever you're at, I can't hear you. Nobody can hear you other than Jesus. Like, just pour out your love to him. Confess, like, love him, be honest with him. Whatever it is that's been weighing on your heart, if there's anything that you've been afraid to bring to him, now is the time. He loves you. There's no judgment and he wants you to just say it out loud, whatever that is. It could literally just be like, God, I'm obsessed with you. Or it could be God, I've been carrying this guilt, I've been carrying this shame. Like, whatever side of the spectrum that is, I feel him encouraging you to just be honest with Him. He can handle it. He's not intimidated by it. And I pray that this is just a healing time for you and Jesus. I'm gone now, okay? It's just you and the Lord. Okay, Here we go.
