I have been hearing the Holy Ghost say ROAR for the last few weeks. Every song I heard, everything I read and heard was about ROARING. I have been meditating on this for a while and God finally released me to write about it. It’s time for God’s people to speak up, take a stand, and shout to the heavens. The enemy thinks he has won; but God said if you want to see His hand move in your circumstance AND in your camp, you need to RISE UP AND SHOUT. ROAR, BECAUSE THERE IS VICTORY IN YOUR CAMP. Here Read More

Seasons: Trust God in Your New Season
I am in a new season, as many of you are. God has directed me to go back to school to obtain my doctorate in Educational Leadership. So far, it’s been an amazing journey. It may appear that God has abandoned you in this new season, but take a breath and wait. Listen, the voice of the Holy Spirit will start to speak to you, bringing you comfort. Everything will be ok. Just trust and obey. I spoke with a young lady the other day. She had been engaged to be married, but something did not feel right. She broke Read More
Are You Teachable?
Do you possess a teachable spirit? What is that you may ask. Proverbs 17:10 tells us, “A reprimand goes deeper into one who has understanding and a teachable spirit, than a hundred lashes into a fool.” My devotional reading for today was a remarkable lesson on having a teachable spirit. Please take note of what it said. The lesson started with a paraphrase of Proverbs 17:10, “You can get more through a wise person with one gentle conversation than you can to a fool by whacking him over the head a hundred times.” There are some individuals who refuse to Read More

Now is the time to start planning. Here are five things to consider: Give a little extra: . There are many ways to honor God; however, giving to Read More
Obedience: Better than Sacrifice
Obedience is crucial. In the Biblical sense, obey means “to hear God’s Word and act accordingly”. 1 Samuel 15:22-23 (NLT) states, “But Samuel replied, ‘What is more pleasing to the Lord: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams. Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols. So because you have rejected the command of the Lord, He has rejected you as king’.” In this verse Saul was rejected as king because he failed to utterly destroy the Read More
Offenses: Stop Talking and Pursue Peace
Over the past few weeks, I heard the Holy Spirit say, ‘People are in agreement with the wrong spirit and are taking on the offenses of others.’ The Holy Spirit said ‘Stop’, right now. Stop it. Not long ago my pastor taught a sermon on taking on offenses. If someone does something to another person, we are not to take on that offense. It did not happen to us. Sure we can empathize with others, but we are not to take on their offense. I know sometimes that is hard because we all want to make sure people are being Read More
