And they went to their own tribe (Acts 4:23). As Christians, we need to surround ourselves with like-minded people. We need our own tribe. It’s important to know those with whom you associate. The right tribe for you will be a place where you are continually filled, sharpened, and fired up for the call of God on your life. Here are five reasons why it’s important to have the right tribe: Spiritual Support and Encouragement: Being part of a community of like-minded Christians provides a source of spiritual support and encouragement. In times of doubt, struggle, or hardship, your tribe Read More

Mindset Monday: All Power and Authority Are Yours
Power and Authority in Christ are yours. Authority means “the power to determine, adjudicate, or otherwise settle issues or disputes; jurisdiction; the right to control, command, or determine.” What I want to convey in this post is how as a believer, you have authority in the earth to speak to your situation and expect that situation to change as it relates to the Word of God. Mark 11:23-24 says, speak to the storms in your life and do not doubt. In Luke 10:19, Jesus told the disciples, “I give you authority over all the power of the enemy (the devil). You have been Read More
Mindset Monday: Godly Stretching
Godly stretching is good for you. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be] (1 Peter 5:10). If you work out a lot you know how important it is to stretch your muscles after your workout. If you forget, you will wake up the next day with muscles so tight you can barely walk and often with excruciating pain. That soreness might make you Read More
Mindset Mondays: What’s In Your Glass?
What is in your glass? Is it half-full or half-empty? A half-empty glass will not allow you to reach your goals. Researchers have shown that when it comes to your goals, you only reach what you can see or what you can clearly imagine. It does not matter if your goals are large or small. If your brain can’t ‘see it,’ you probably won’t get it. The glass is a metaphor for what we actually believe or what we can imagine. Our brains will work hardest at helping us obtain those things that you can most clearly imagine, if your glass Read More
Mindset Mondays: Clothed with Strength and Dignity
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs at the future and anticipates the future with joy, free of anxiety. ~Proverbs 31:25~ Proverbs 31:25 is one of my favorite scriptures. I make it an affirmation. “I am clothed with strength and dignity, and I laugh at the future!” Clothes often represent a person’s spiritual state. As Christian women, we understand the importance of living life with courage and virtue and wear these qualities in the way we interact with others. We are free from anxiety because we have strong faith, knowing that He meets all of our needs Read More
Mindset Monday: Jehovah El-Ashiyb, God of Restoration
Do you know the God of Restoration? Have you met Him and spent time with Him? Have you allowed Him into the broken areas of your life? Recently, I attended our monthly Fiction Function Book club and one of the ladies was telling us about a tree her husband had planted and lovingly cared for before he transitioned to heaven. At one point, the tree got struck by lightning and split into (See Fig. 1). She called her grandson, and they duct-taped the tree back together (See Fig. 2). She spoke to the tree and commanded the tree to live Read More
