Hey ladies, I am struggling. Many of you may or may not know that I am a new Christian, I am just a baby, learning how to walk again. Which I love. I've been like a sponge, soaking up knowledge and wisdom from the word, this community, bible study etc This week my faith, my knowledge, my wisdom has been tested greatly. I am in LA visiting my father his gf my aunt and my brother. Its been really hard. Ive never experienced such a negative repsond about my faith and my love for Jesus. Mayb mean and hurtful things have been said, ive been shut down, silenced. I keep trying to return to Christ but in the moment it can be so hard. Im trying to shine His light through me but I can feel myself being weighed down..please ladies pray for protection of my soul. Pray that I continue to be bold on my walk and continue to speak the name of Jesus. Im feeling very drained, I need him. I hope this makes sense. I feel the enemy attacking me every where I turn. I need you guys. Thank you

What is the most difficult thing you have come up against on your walk with Jesus, and looking back, how.can you give God the glory for the resolve?...how did you see Him move, what did He do within you, etc...???

Only 5 more days until Christmas!! 🎶✝️🌟⛪🫂🛷🦌🕯️🎄🤶🎅🥛👼🔔🎶 The world expects Christmas to be wrapped in noise, lights, and perfection. But the first Christmas came quietly. No spotlight. No applause. 🗝️Just a weary mother, a willing father, and a God who chose closeness over comfort. Jesus didn’t arrive to impress us — He arrived to be with us. Not when life was tidy. Not when hearts were ready. But right in the middle of mess, fear, and uncertainty. And that’s still how He comes today. 📖 “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” (John 1:14) If today feels tender… If joy feels mixed with grief… If peace feels quieter than you expected… Take heart, sister. Christmas means God is not distant. He is near. Right here. Right now. 💛 Reflection: Where might God be choosing nearness over noise in your life today?

When the angels appeared to the shepherds, they didn’t say “Calm down” or “Enjoy the moment.” ✝️ Scripture says the shepherds were terrified—and heaven didn’t scold them for it. The angels said: “Do not be afraid.” — Luke 2:10 That's important to know! God didn’t require the shepherds to feel peaceful before He spoke. He didn’t wait for their emotions to settle. He addressed fear first. 🗝️ “Fear not” wasn’t a rebuke—it was an invitation. An invitation to keep listening. An invitation to trust God’s presence even while their hearts were racing. 👀 And notice this: the good news and great joy came after fear was acknowledged—not after it disappeared.... Think about that for a sec.... This tells us something powerful: Peace in God’s Kingdom isn’t something you create first. It’s something you step into as you trust Him. So if you love Jesus but still feel afraid, you’re not behind❤️🙏 You’re standing exactly where the shepherds stood. And heaven is still saying: Fear not. I’m here. ✨ Reflection: What fear might God be naming—not to shame you, but to draw you closer?

I thought yes!!! This is so right🫢, so true and a kick in the butt we all need!! Check it out! "SOMEONE REQUESTED PRAYER BECAUSE A WITCH PUT STONES ON THEIR LAWN TO CURSE THEIR HOME. I told them that they don't need prayer. I instructed them to go out and take a leak on those rocks. 😊 Im tired of weak Christianity. Christians that make the devil big & Jesus small. These folks unintentionally give authority to fear instead of to Christ. No object, symbol, stone, ritual, or human action has any jurisdiction over a believer who is in Christ. NAME ME A CURSE OR A DEVIL THAT'S GREATER THAN THE HOLY GHOST IN A BELIEVER!! None! The danger isn’t the stone...it’s their wrong believing & ignorance of the Word. The moment someone believes: “This explains the heaviness” “Someone is trying to curse us” “We need special prayers because of this object” They’ve already shifted authority. Can you imagine Jesus asking for prayer because of rocks with demonic symbols. Can you imagine Paul or the early church asking for prayer because of a witch. 🤣 Believers are seated far above (Ephesians 2:6) No curse overrides covenant No object outranks authority No darkness survives where light is." If you agree type Amen in the comments!!
