• The Blessing Of Brokenness

    November 11, 2020

    Sometimes being a spiritual being in a physical body can be so difficult. Your body is connected to your emotions, which is your soul, and they can often lead you astray. Especially where pain or pleasure are involved. For me, pain and pleasure have always seemed to be a leading factor in the decision making processes of my life. Is this going to bring me pain or pleasure? Things that bring pain are left for another day and things that bring pleasure are brought to the forefront. Yet seeking pleasure has not been my main agenda, it has actually been…

  • The Purpose In Suffering

    March 16, 2020

    As a new Christian, I could not understand suffering. I believed that if God loved me, He would relieve me of all suffering and give me a life of happiness and fulfillment. I believed that He was a good and loving God, and therefore naturally, He would protect me from every bad thing. What I didn’t understand was that suffering is not actually a bad thing, but a part of our walk as believers in Christ Jesus. One of the things that bothered me the most about suffering was the feeling that it made my life worthless; that all of…

    Give Thanks To The Lord

    November 25, 2019

    Being thankful is not a phrase we say or a thought we have each Thanksgiving; it is a heart posture. It is understanding God's mercy on us and being thankful that we are given the gift of eternal life with the Father and freedom through Christ from the bondage to hell.

  • The Condition Of Sin

    November 18, 2019

    When I first came to Christ I was very leery of the idea of sin. For me, sin was something that was used to punish me. I was often told I was a sinner, which was equated to evil, bad, terrible, and holding a one-way ticket to hell. This wasn’t used as a segway into the need for Christ and the mercy and forgiveness He died to give us, it was used as a rod of discipline to keep me in line. The only forgiveness I heard about was being forgiven by obeying the adults in charge of me, and…

    Heaven’s Perspective

    November 11, 2019

    When I look back on the story of my life, it can be really easy for me to get caught up in feeling like I am a victim. I have had a hard life that has been fraught with so much pain and suffering, and sometimes it honestly feels as though that is all there is for me in this world. I have had many days where I have felt absolutely defeated and hopeless, and cannot see any point to my life whatsoever. Yet isn’t that exactly what the devil would have me believe? Isn’t that what he has worked…

  • How To Live Your Best Life

    September 30, 2019

    Have you ever watched or listened to Christians who seem to have a perfect life? They don’t seem to have any major problems but they have all the solutions for yours. Or they came from a place with major strongholds but are now in a place of freedom from them and they can now tell you their formula for success. You might wonder how these Christians have come to such a place of strength when you have desperately tried every avenue to seek help with no change. You have tried giving all your problems to God, meditating on scripture, praying…

  • How We Give The Devil A Foothold

    September 23, 2019

    We give the devil a foothold into our lives many times without even realizing it. Giving the devil a foothold means that we are giving the enemy legal ground to stand on to enter into our lives or our bodies. We don’t want to give the devil a foothold into any areas of our lives, because when we do we are allowing demons into our bodies, and opening up portals for human spirits. As I have grown closer to Jesus and have freed more areas of my soul I have become very sensitive to the enemy attacks. When I am…

  • What Is Normal Christianity?

    September 2, 2019

    I am on a break this week, but I want to share this post from 2016. I hope you enjoy it. 🙂 As a pagan, I had many preconceived notions about what Christianity was or what it meant to be a Christian. I didn’t believe in Jesus Christ, and honestly, He was never a thought in my mind. Jesus Christ was a swear word to me. Outside of that, He was either a mythical figure or a historical figure. The guy with the long hair and white robes. I had nothing but disdain for Christians for as long as I…

    My Journey To Respecting My Husband

    June 24, 2019

    It has been a long journey for me to learn how to respect my husband. I hate to admit that I have been a wife that has been harsh, critical, demeaning, demanding, judgemental, and even cruel with my words. I never set out to be that kind of wife, and I love my husband dearly. He is a good husband, who has cherished me and taken great care of me and our children. I have wanted desperately to change and be a better wife to him, but even as a Christian I could not tame my tongue. It all started…

  • How We Are Blaspheming God With Our Daily Language

    June 17, 2019

    Last Sunday I woke up under severe spiritual attack through physical oppression. It was very difficult for me to deal with because physical pain is a huge trigger for me. It takes me to a place of pain where I begin to see everything around me through a filter of pain. That is why when I have physical ailments I try to take them to the Lord Jesus Christ for discernment on what is happening to me. Nine times out of ten I need to renounce something I have done, allowed in or connected to, and the physical attack leaves…
