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

Your BATTLE CRY: Are You Longing for Him?
MY BATTLE CRY!! During my worship time today, I kept coming back to how much we need Jesus. We need Him like a thirsty man lost in a desert. We have to learn to lean on God in times of famine and times of plenty. There will be times when there is not enough; times when there are shortages of food, shelter, and finances. During those times my BATTLE CRY is God lead me. Lead me to those places where You are providing. Lead me to the supernatural provisions You gave to your people during their forty-year journey (Exodus 16:4-5). Read More
Manifesting: Four Phases of Spiritual Birthing
Manifesting means to make clear or evident to the eye or the understanding. Are you longing for a change? Are you sensing a change in the Spirit? God is giving us those desires we have been praying about. You are on the cusp of giving birth, manifesting that dream within you. Manifesting or spiritual birthing can be difficult. A woman about to give birth is in labor. Manifesting is labor-intensive. Several of us find ourselves in this phase of our lives. We are trying to birth a baby that God put within us. Well, get ready. That baby (vision) is about Read More
Forky: Life Lessons from Toy Story 4
I found this wonderful article “Life Lessons from Toy Story 4” by Rita Dunaway. The author gives us a look at the life lessons we can learn from the movie Toy Story 4. Toy Story 4 centers around a new toy named “Forky.” Actually, he’s not a fork; he’s a plastic spork. Bonnie, the little girl who owns Woody and the other lovable toys, created Forky with her own hands on her first day in kindergarten. How many of you remember how afraid you were on your first day? Bonnie is very proud of her creation, having made him from Read More
Girl, Cleanse Your House! Part 2
Recap! Last time I started a series called, Girl, cleanse your house! This is a 2-part series on cleansing your house. This issue is very important, spiritually imperative even. The house I am referring to is your physical dwelling place, not your body. Although we should practice keeping our bodies holy. The Word tells us ‘Do not be ignorant of satan’s schemes’ (2 Corinthians 2:11) and also ‘be always on the alert for satan is looking for someone who he can easily deceive’ (1 Peter 5:8). Do not be that person. Cleansing your house–and keeping it cleansed–is essential because demonic Read More
Keeping the Faith: Born to Taste the Grapes
This week’s blog is about ‘Keeping the Faith’. In Numbers 13:25-14:10, the twelve spies come back with some very large grapes and a story to tell. Did you know, you were born to taste the grapes (awesome gifts from God)? God provided manna for His people during their 40-year journal through the desert. God does nothing without purpose. The Holy Spirit is our teacher and our guide. God provided for them in the desert because there was typically nothing else for them to eat; however, now the people must learn to trust God by working the land and sowing and Read More
