When we go through trials in life, we never expect them to be for a purpose. Often times we ask God why. Why me? why now? this is not supposed to happen. We may be in a place where because we are going through a hard time, we may think that God has forgotten about us. Like Naomi, you may be going through so much that you begin to label yourself based solely on your circumstances. What circumstances has you down and out? what have you labeled yourself based on where you are at? (Hoe, Slut, Motherless, Not worthy because you are not married? ignorant because you have not even finished your GED or got a High School diploma?) But God is here to tell you to to hold on! you are not your circumstances. They do not define you. Trust Him in the process and trust that He knows what He is doing. You are pained for a purpose. You cannot see it now but God says to hold on, He promises He will bless you. Remember the promises of God.

Whether you want to admit to it or not, there has been a “first” toxic relationship that changed your life – for the worse! Like the prodigal son, and the help of his jealous older brother, you had help running off away from God.

But even in the trenches, you’ve come to realize that there has got to be a better life for me than this unholy mess! Even the dogs get treated better than me ! Like the son, they helped you run through the ground. You had help skipping on to sin. But when you were down and out there were no where to be found . Even they had sense enough to leave you where you were at but God…..

You can be mad at God, mad at the church or mad at everyone because who you wanted to be with, just didn’t turn out to be Mr/Mrs forever.

God will never send us someone that is detrimental to our destiny. This tactic is from Satan. But what will do is warn you. If you choose to walk past go and collect what we monies you can, God will be waiting for you to return to Him.

Walking with God is not as easy as the scriptures reads. There is a lot that we do not know of the intricate details that surrounds someone’s life but we know that God has given us enough details throughout His written word to understand. When we look at the Old Testament and New Testament, we praise Job, King David, the Apostle Paul, Mary Magdalene for all their accomplishments and hurdles but we sometimes never stop to think, man they did not give up. Or we may not think that maybe, just maybe there was a period where they may have been angry at God or doubted that He would do what He said He would do.

God is truly faithful and He loves you unconditionally. If He did not love you unconditionally, you would not be here and He would have taken you off this earth the day you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. But here you are, still standing…it is time to release the bait of satan.

It is satan’s tactic and sole purpose to kill, steal and destroy God’s people (John 10: 10). With this podcast, it is my prayer that you break free from the bondages of satan. That you use your God given power and authority over satan to break free in the freedom that Jesus has died for you to have. You are no longer in bondage to satan but by giving away your authority, you are relinquishing what Jesus says is yours. Do not relinquish your power. It is yours. Guard it.

Restoration:

Job (God restored unto Job all that was taken from him) – this is a living testimony that if God can restore earthly possessions unto a man who remained faithful (does not mean he was not tempted), God will surely restore your love for Him.

Scriptures to study:

Job 42; 11 – 17

Faithfulness: 1 Corinthians 1: 9, Psalm 51: 1 – 19

Love: John 3: 16

God is a restorer and a redeemer. God is quick to forgive and His mercies are new every morning. Many people have gone astray and have walked out of the will of God and God is saying come back to Him. God says if you repent, and turn from your sin then I will restore unto you the promises I promised your forefathers.

Dealing with church hurt can be something painful and unthinkable. Church hurt, toxic leadership within the church, gossip can be so prevalent that is tears not only the church apart but future souls of Christ. At some point in your life, if you are not the one doing the hurting or by standing, you will most likely be hurt by “church folk”. Dealing with people is rough in itself but when it comes to children of God, this can be a little bit more complicated. Although complicated, we talk about what it means to hold others accountable within the church.

Come with me as I interview Dr. Demoine Kinney on his perspective and view as a Senior Pastor on this topic. Listen as we both give our truthful testimonies while making you laugh a little. We share some real stories on the things that happen to us, and hear how we have overcome those hurdles in our lives. But most importantly, we want you to take away from this is forgiveness of yourself and those whom did the hurting.

At Jesus feet, Mary found herself for the second, in a vulnerable position with her Lord and Savior. There will come a time in our lives when Jesus will require more from us. The surface christianity will no longer hold back the demons that threaten to tear down your very existence. Surface Christianity will not fight off those generational curses or hold onto your edges!! but let me testify, that there is an exchange that is unspeakable that happens when we give over the broken pieces, the parts of us that we never knew were broken over to Jesus. Listen to this episode and be blessed to be set free. There is nothing that Jesus will not heal you from. There is nothing that Jesus cannot bring you back from.

There was a woman with an issue of blood for 12 years who said regardless of what the crowd thinks, regardless of what they are doing, I am going to press until I get healed. This “certain” woman as they called her, was one of the boldest women in the Bible. She had run out on all of her resources, she used all the money she had yet no one could help her. She even got worse. But that did not stop her from pressing into Jesus and declaring “If I can touch Him, I shall be made whole”. When there seems to be no way, God will clear a path for you. When all hope seems lost, there will be a spark of change.

Saints, do you want a healing? How pressed are you about your faith?

This is a word for somebody! Press is all you need to do to get to where God needs you to be!

Through power of prayer and praise, eventually something has to break. You are in a fixed fight and God knows it. Satan knows this fight is fixed and through distractions, his fiery darts and oppression, he is hoping you will give up the fight. But I am a living witness, that if you keep pressing into God, if you keep up the good fight of faith, this fixed fight will look possible through Jesus Christ.

Before God use us greatly, He will do a work within us, getting us unclogged from anything that is not like him. The beauty and struggle of becoming unclogged is both rewarding and terrifying. In this season, I am praying that you are hearing God to become a better version of you, the 2.0 version of you that will thank you now for saying yes to God and no to the world.

Come with me as I tell the story of Moses from a different perspective and how this is relatable moments that we share.
