Divine encounters happen all the time. God has a divine plan to get you firmly placed within your destiny. A divine encounter happens when God orchestrates an encounter with someone or something to bring you out on the other side. You only need to be willing and obedient. What do you have in your hand? God has given us everything we need to succeed. First, we have His Word and the Holy Spirit. With God on our side and the Holy Spirit living within us, how can we be defeated. God also provides us with encounters that He uses for Read More

Vision: Seek it, write it, and obey it.
Vision is important in our everyday walk with the Lord. As you start this new year are you seeking to follow God’s vision or are you looking for direction from other sources. God has a plan (Jeremiah 29:11) and you have to discover and live out that plan. We must be in agreement with God and walk in obedience to the plan He has for us. The evening news can’t tell you the plan; your favorite tv show can’t tell you the plan; your best friend can’t tell you the plan; only God can reveal it to you. We must 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
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
The Process: Training for His Purpose
There is a PROCESS for His purpose. God’s not ignoring your pain. We are training for His Purpose. We are experiencing some things which are a part of a process that we must go through to fulfill God’s Divine Purpose and Calling on our lives! How can we be ready to give an answer (1 Peter 3:15) unless the Father allows us to experience the problems on this earth? The Process for His Purpose is not just for you, it is for the benefit of others. How can we intelligently and knowingly obtain experience and be able to pass the test? Read More
Eternity in our Hearts
God put Eternity in our hearts. This week I am facilitating a Stepping Stone Workshop as an Earth Day Event at our Library. We will be recycling old jewelry and other items to use on concrete stepping stones. As I was getting ready for this workshop and collecting all the items I needed, came up in my spirit. This verse states, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” God took the time to put every piece needed inside of us to complete the work He has for us. Furthermore, declares, “Before Read More
