In this powerful episode of 'Life Changers,' host Candice van Pletsen delivers a transformative message centered on the theme 'She Says Yes'—exploring what happens when women choose obedience to God. Drawing from the story of Joshua and the miraculous moment when the sun stood still, she emphasizes that breakthroughs come not through grand gestures, but through consistent, daily acts of devotion, surrender, and following God’s ways. Candice shares deeply personal stories—from her struggles with shyness and fear to her journey of surrendering to God’s call on her life—to illustrate how obedience flows from a place of love, not fear. She challenges listeners to move beyond religious duty and embrace a relationship with God that leads to true freedom, healing, and miracles. The message culminates in a moving invitation for women to come forward and surrender their burdens, trusting God’s strength over their own. The tone is both convicting and deeply encouraging, calling women to grow up spiritually and say 'yes' to God in every area of life.
Obedience begins with devotion—true obedience flows from a loving relationship with God, not fear or obligation.
Surrender is not defeat but divine release; it means letting go of control and trusting God’s greater plan.
Miracles follow ordinary, daily yeses—not just big moments, but private faithfulness when no one is watching.
God’s presence and power are available through the Holy Spirit, enabling us to follow His ways even when we’re weak.
Breakthrough comes when we stop relying on our strength and instead come to Jesus, who promises rest for the weary.
Opening: The Power of 'Yes' and the Vision of Sun Stand Still
“We want the miracles but we don't always want the obedience.”
Obedience Starts with Devotion: Knowing and Hearing God
“Obedience comes from a place of devotion. It comes from a place of knowing who our God is and loving him and him loving us.”
Surrender: Releasing Control to God’s Leadership
“Surrender is letting go of you so that you can take a hold of him.”
Following Jesus: Obedience in the Ordinary and the Obscure
Candice highlights that obedience means following Jesus in all areas—marriage, parenting, work, and relationships. She uses the example of Peter leaving everything to follow Jesus and emphasizes that true discipleship involves doing what Jesus does, not just knowing about Him. She speaks to the difficulty of obedience in seasons of delay and pain.
The Invitation: Surrendering Your Burdens at the Altar
“I can't take it anymore, God. Take it, Lord. Take it. And I feel like Him say, just surrender.”
