Lies: Take Courage and Go Forth

Lies, self-doubts, and other words are being spoken against you from the enemy. Take courage. The enemy is trying to discourage you from fulfilling your calling. Let me offer you some encouragement. Although things look bad, from your perspective, take another look. Start to see things from God’s perspective. The last couple of years have been rough for a lot of people. Let’s be honest. How many of you are in worst shape now than you were at the beginning of the pandemic? How many of you lost jobs, loved ones, friends, homes, etc. How many of you have been Read More

Compromise: Just Stop It!

Compromise has entered the church.  The door was opened and the enemy walked right in without the slightest bit of resistance. When the church starts relationships with those organizations outside of the church, be careful who you dip with( make a covenant/or break bread with). When the enemy cannot curse and crush the church, he seeks to corrupt it through compromise. I started a new book recently and as part of my research, I studied Revelation Chapters 2 and 3 about the Seven Churches and the message for each church. God gave encouraging words and He gave words of warning. Read More

Shoes: Your Due Season

SHOES!! I love them. If you were to take a look in my closet you will probably find about 25 pairs. In fact, if you were to visit my Pinterest page you would find an entire page dedicated to them. I was reading a blog post from a friend of mine the other day and she was talking about the shoes she is currently wearing. She stated she did not want to be in that particular pair, but that God currently had her wearing them. She was using shoes as a symbol for a season in her life. I want Read More

Narratives: Pursuing Purpose in a Crazy World

Narratives are the storylines of your life. They are accounts, reports, stories, events, or experiences. My narratives include being born and raised in rural North Carolina to currently working on my doctorate. I have changed the narratives of my life many times.  Recently I heard the Lord say,  ‘tell my people it’s time for them to remove themselves from the narratives currently shaping their lives’. Removing yourself from the narratives means it is time to stop doing whatever it is you are currently doing, take a look at what you are doing and see if it lines up with what Read More

Sufficiency: It Would Have Been Enough

Sufficiency is a gift from God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God (2 Corinthians 3:5). This weekend we celebrated Resurrection Sunday and Passover. I always think of the prayer we pray during Passover. It’s called Dayenu, which means ‘It would have been enough (sufficient). It is a song of thanksgiving and praise. Take a moment to read this prayer and meditate on it. When you began to look back over your life and see all that God has brought you through, shout Dayenu (It Would Have Read More

Healed and Whole: Forever Settled

I am Healed and Whole. Healing is part of our divine covenant with God. Exactly 2 years ago to the day,  I did a series on healing. It’s time to revisit this topic as we should keep this in the forefront. God is a healing God. In Him we have healing. God has already made a way of escape from any and every sickness which may be moving through this realm attacking whoever it wants to devour; just like our enemy the devil who sneaks around looking for someone who is unprotected to devour (1 Peter 5:8). In Him we Read More
