Atmospheric changes occur when you worship the Most-High God. Have you ever noticed a change in the atmosphere around you when you start praising God? Just as our natural climate changes when different objects are introduced into the atmosphere, our spiritual climate also changes when we introduce praise. I was reminded this week of how quickly the weather can change. I was on a cruise, and on two separate occasions, the weather changed and interrupted my plans. One day, we were on the beach, and a storm came so quickly that we barely had time to get to cover before 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
Contemplating: 2021 in Review
Contemplating means to think profoundly and at length, to meditate. I have been contemplating the top five events of 2021 in my life. I have completed so many things which at some point I thought were not possible, but with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). God is the author and finisher of my faith journey (Hebrews 12:2). Here are my top five 2021 moments in review. Retired: Semi Wrote and published three books: Being: Manifesting the Image of God Life Lessons from the Book of Ruth: Pageantry of Destiny Praying Through the Pandemic: Ignite your faith and conquer Read More
Storms: It’s Time to Prepare
Storms are inevitable. Prepare! The National Weather Service lets us know when storms are heading our way. Here in Oklahoma, we get tornado warnings during the spring storm season. Storms come and go. In the natural, we are encouraged to prepare for the storms coming our way. In the Spirit, we should also be prepared for storms. These spiritual storms may not come with heavy rain, winds, flooding, or tornados, but they can be just as devastating. What can we do to prepare? When the weather service tells us storms are coming we should have a plan of escape and Read More
