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

Delays: Wait Patiently for the Lord
Delays happen. Delay is defined as postponing until a later time; defer, to cause to be later or slower than expected or desired. Our focus scripture is Isaiah 40:31 – “But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” I have been hearing the Lord say ‘Stop making excuses; stop procrastinating, stop playing Read More
ROAR: THERE IS VICTORY IN YOUR CAMP
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
Goel: Kinsman, Redeemer, and Avenger
In the book of Ruth, Jesus is our Goel. Goel means “to redeem or ransom” and is rendered “kinsman” in , , , “redeemer” in , and “avenger” in and . The picture of Jesus here as Goel is both that of redeemer and avenger. Consider , Jesus not only died as a ransom for us, but he also avenges us against all enemies. Notice the correlation between redeemer and avenger: God redeemed Israel with the Passover lamb, but poured out vengeance on the gods of Egypt (). God redeems us as believers through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (), Read More
Process: Birthing the Promise
Process is needed to birth your Promise. God’s PROMISE far outweighs and exceeds the pain, the push, the rejection, the losses, and the loneliness you experience during the process! Stay Focused, especially during this season in your life. Be still and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10 NIV). God always multiplies your seeds sown in obedience, time, words, deeds and seeds sown monetarily or materially. Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he receive (Galatians 6:7 NKJV). Jesus went through the process of coming to earth as a mere man and dying Read More
