The enemy wants to keep you from the places God wants to grow you. Don’t despise small beginnings, hard seasons, and the lessons you’ve learned along the way. Use all of it for good! Redeem it as STRENGTH, LIGHT, and TRUTH for your future.
There are times that no matter how carefully or often you say a truth...people won’t hear you. Even Jesus experienced this. But in the midst of those shutting you down, never doubt that others are listening who have ears to hear. So say it anyway brave one.
SIN is not a puppy you can PLAY with. Its a SNAKE & sooner or later no matter how careful you are with it...it will STRIKE. Don’t toy with sin, or you’ll be bit.
“Someday you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of God.” - Rev. Billy Graham
The first person Jesus entrusted to declare His resurrection was a woman. Being a woman does not hinder you from being a mouthpiece in God’s kingdom. The great COMMISSION is your PERMISSION.
If you struggle with ANXIETY or DEPRESSION getting the help you need is MORE important than maintaining a facade for FAKE FRIENDS. Real friends will celebrate you getting real help.
It’s never wrong to be KIND. It’s the kindness of God that leads to repentance & life. Kindness is not endorsement. It is a fruit of the Spirit. If you’re unkind, you’re not Spirit led.
“It’s NOT a SIN to be SICK. Mental illness is NOT your IDENTITY. It’s TIME to REMOVE the STIGMA & let people get the help they need.” Pastor

Submission NEVER means that a wife becomes LESS than herself. When husbands LOVE their wives LIKE CHRIST loves the church her beauty is evoked & all that is on her life is positioned to gain full expression. We reflect the image of Christ not our husbands.
"I SOUGHT the LORD, and HE ANSWERED me & DELIVERED me from all my FEARS. Those who LOOK TO HIM are RADIANT, and their faces shall never be ashamed." (Psalm 34:4-5)
David faced the lion and the bear in SECRET before God had him defeat Goliath in PUBLIC. He learned to worship in PRIVATE before he was invited to worship inside the king's PALACE. If you want to step into GOD’S PURPOSES for your life, learn to embrace the PLACE of PREPARATION.
Fasting changes your perception by changing your focus. When you fast, your eyes are illuminated by God's WORD and TRUTH. Your eyes shift OFF of yourself and ONTO GOD.
Jesus did not command us to love as we have been loved by others. He commanded us to love others as we have been loved by Him. That's the love that turns the world upside down.

Don’t pray small prayers. You have direct access to the God of the universe. Pray in such a way that when you open your mouth in prayer, the enemy shudders in fear.

Some Christians are afraid to discuss spiritual warfare because they believe it makes evil forces stronger. The truth is that our enemy is already operating at FULL strength, and by EXPOSING his deeds of darkness, we DIMINISH his power, not increase it.
Remember: if you want to be heard, SAY IT the way you would WANT TO HEAR IT.
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” (Proverbs 15V1)
