There Is Power in Your Testimony
There is power, healing, and deliverance in your testimony. The Word of God tells us that you will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the words of your testimony (Revelation 12:11). There is a real devil out here who despises your testimony because he knows that chains will be broken off the next person who hears it. Therefore, he will place the spirit of shame and embarrassment upon you so that you remain tight-lipped and quiet, but need I remind you that you serve a God that goes with you and will never leave you nor forsake you so be strong and courageous (Deuteronomy 31:6). Own your…

Dry Season
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The Lord has not chosen these.” 11 So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.” Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.” 12 So he sent for him and had…

Let Your Faith Arise
Scripture tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is about having complete trust and confidence in someone or even something without physical, tangible proof. In Biblical sense, it is about trusting God even when your circumstances look far from able. It is not always easy walking this thing called faith when you haven’t seen much change in the area that you are desperately wanting a miracle and breakthrough in but that is not the open door for you to lose your faith. If you are struggling in your faith today, your obedience and relying on Scripture…

Step Out of Your Comfort Zone & Step Out on Faith
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]. (2 Timothy 1:7, AMP). One thing about having a business is being able to market yourself through advertisement and getting out there. As a school psychologist, I spend more than half of my career sitting in meetings with lawyers/attorneys, advocates, supervisors, family members, and friends. I have been in meetings where it has been recorded. And can I tell you that that does not scare me?…

Encourage Yourself in the Lord
1 Samuel 30:6 tells us, “And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God,” (KJV). Prior to this exact verse, we read that when David and his men arrived to the town of Ziklag, they found that it was burned and their families were taken into captivity. In this moment, David didn’t immediately say, “I trust in God. My faith is strong. He will make a way where there seemeth to be no way.” David and his men wept (v.4)…

Stay Focused
It is so easy to get distracted and caught up when we face difficulties and encounter frustration. One thing God has been reminding me as we close out 2023 is that the enemy is after your mind, and if he can get your mind, eventually, he can get your life, and that is why it is so important to be aware of what you are meditating on day and night. I know that I have always struggled with my thoughts for as long as I could remember. I tend to focus so much on lack. I don’t have this. I don’t have that. I wish I’ve experienced this. I wish…
