God speaks and uses His people in many ways. This time around, God wants to use you. He wants you to be a light in this dark world. He can use anybody but God is choosing to use you to touch the lives of so many people. He’s not looking at your friend. Not your family members. Nor your colleagues. He’s looking at YOU. Your past and even current circumstance(s) is what will bring forth an awesome testimony. It is what will draw people to Christ. God gave you a promise on how He wants to use you to speak to this lost and dying world, and He wants you…

I remember getting prayed over in March of 2019 by the associate pastor of my church during altar call. When he got to me, with my head bowed eyes closed, he touched my forehead and began to pray.

In order for true and everlasting healing to be present and active in your life, I believe that certain steps are needed. Be willing to be open and vulnerable. Your heart is hardened because of all of the hurt, pain, and trauma that you have experienced throughout life. You have a wall around your heart, and you don’t allow anyone to get too…

There may have been moments in your life where you found it difficult to move on because of the hurt from a person, or ongoing habit or addiction. You want to move on, and you have tried, but have found yourself often saying, “God, I can’t seem to move on. The hurt is too much. I can’t seem to get over [name] and how their actions and their words affected me in such a negative way.
