Mindset Mondays: Hanging Out in the Wilderness

Are you still hanging out in the Wilderness,  the place of punishment? After the ten spies came back and gave a bad report,  God gave them 40 years of wandering in the wilderness until all the men 20 years old and older were dead. He gave them one year of punishment for each day they spied out the land. Numbers 14:34 – According to the number of days in which you spied out the land [of Canaan], forty days, for each day, you shall bear and suffer a year for your sins and guilt, for forty years, and you shall know My displeasure [the Read More

Imposter Syndrome: A Distorted Image

Imposter syndrome is defined as a behavioral health phenomenon described as self-doubt of intellect, skills, or accomplishments among high-achieving individuals. If you are a Christian, then let me assure you, you don’t have imposter syndrome; you have a distorted image of yourself based on the lies of the enemy. You have failed to recognize your true value, your identity in Christ, and your predestined purpose. Once upon a time, I was this person. I lacked a sense of value and had a distorted image of who I was in Christ. It was through immersing myself in the Word that I overcame. Read More

Acceleration: It’s Happening Now

Acceleration means the rate at which velocity changes with time in terms of both speed and direction. Have you noticed that things are happening much more quickly now? There is definitely acceleration. I wrote a post a few years ago entitled Suddenlies, read it here. God is quickly answering prayers and moving on behalf of His people. As the definition states, both speed and direction are involved. God may be making things happen quickly and also changing direction to bring you into alignment with your purpose. Learn to trust God in the process. My friend, Delphine Riley, included this powerful Read More

Thirsty!: Come and Drink

Thirsty is an interesting word. It has so many meanings, from needing a drink to being eager. I was reading something today that reminded me to drink more water. Then I started thinking about how thirst can cause our minds and bodies to fail. The same is true in a spiritual sense. If we do not quench our spiritual thirst, we will never experience the life of purpose that God planned for us. What a wasted life! John 7:37 tells us that Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me Read More

Holy Spirit: Strategist

For my final Holy Spirit post in the month of January, I want to introduce the Holy Spirit as a strategist. He was present at creation, hovering (strategically planning and thinking) over the face of the deep; He strategized how to spread the gospel by sending Paul, Peter, and others out to different cities and forbidding them from going to other places, and He sent Philip to preach the good news to an Ethiopian eunuch and then transported him away. As you spend time with the Holy Spirit, ask Him to give you strategies for your life as well as Read More
