How is your heart today? And I mean for real, not the "I'm fine" answer. Are you tired? Are you hanging on by a thread? Are you actually in a good place and scared to say it out loud? Drop ONE word in the comments that describes where you are today

Kingdom parents, before you close your eyes tonight... name one thing. Not ten. Not the whole list. Just one thing God did in your home today. A hug you did not expect. A meal on the table. A child who said something that made you laugh when you wanted to cry. A quiet moment that felt like peace. Gratitude is how we remind our hearts that He is still working, even on the ordinary days. Drop yours in the comments. Big or small, I want to celebrate it with you. 🧡

Big shout out to everyone in this community who has poured into this ministry through my Amazon wish list. You have no idea how much it means. 🤍 As many of you know I run a free Bible study program for kids on YouTube and we are currently serving families in 21 countries. Everything I do for Kingdom Kids is completely free to the children and every single thing on that wish list goes directly to making those episodes better for them. @Sasha Simon this Bible costume is everything and the kids are going to LOSE it when they see it Wednesday evening. 😂🙌🏽 Thank you thank you thank you. And to everyone else who sowed and did not leave a name God saw it and so did I. Thank you. 💛 Until next time, stay positive. 🧡 https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/8D891G5IB3OO?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_ggr-subnav-share_3PZKRFEF6JXDCW6G818Q&language=en-US

One of our own community Mommy members, Sasha, inboxed me about something she came across on social media. There is a post going around where parents are saying: "Teach your kids to behave because I am teaching mine witchcraft." Insinuating that they will put a curse on other people's children. I am not going to spend a lot of time on the trend itself because I do not give the enemy that much of my energy. But I AM going to respond to it. Because if there are parents out there openly declaring that they are equipping their children in darkness we have a responsibility to make sure our children are equipped in the light. And not just equipped. Confident in their authority as children of God. We teach our children TO pray. But a lot of us are still doing the heavy lifting FOR them. And there is going to come a moment when we are not in the room. When our child is at school, at a friend's house, in a situation we did not see coming and they need to know how to stand on their own. They need to know that the authority of God does not live in mom's prayer. It lives in THEM because He lives in them. So today I want to give you four prayers to pray WITH your children. Not just over them. With them. So they learn the words. So they learn the posture. So they learn that they have just as much right to talk to God and stand in His authority as any adult in the room. Print these. Post them. Pray them together tonight. PRAYER 1: THE MORNING SHIELD Pray this every morning before school or the start of the day Father God thank You for this day. I ask You to put a hedge of protection around me today. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. No curse, no evil, no assignment of the enemy has power over my life because I belong to You. I am covered by the blood of Jesus. My mind is protected. My body is protected. My spirit is protected. Holy Spirit go before me today and let every place I go feel Your presence. I walk out of this house covered, armed, and confident in who I am. In Jesus name. Amen.

Stop Paying a Debt That Was Already Cancelled I want to start today with a scenario. Imagine you owe someone a significant amount of money. It has been weighing on you. You think about it constantly. You work extra hours trying to chip away at it. You sacrifice things you need because you feel the weight of what you owe. Every time you see that person you feel the guilt of the debt sitting between you. And then one day they call you and say I cancelled it. You owe me nothing. It is done. Paid in full. And you say thank you. And then the next morning you wake up and start working extra hours again. You keep sacrificing things you need. You keep carrying the weight of something that no longer exists. You keep paying a debt that has already been cancelled. That sounds crazy. But that is exactly what most of us are doing with God every single day. The cross was not a down payment. It was full payment. Colossians 2:13-14 says -- He forgave us all our sins having cancelled the charge of our legal indebtedness which stood against us and condemned us. He has taken it away nailing it to the cross. Cancelled. Not reduced. Not restructured. Not put on a payment plan. Cancelled. Every sin. Every failure. Every pattern. Every thing you have done and every thing that was done to you that you are still carrying shame about. Nailed to the cross. Done. And yet. So many of us are still making payments on something God already paid. We make payments in guilt. We replay our mistakes on a loop. We punish ourselves for things God has already forgiven. We carry a weight of shame that was never ours to carry past the moment we brought it to Him. We make payments in performance. We serve until we are depleted trying to make up for who we used to be. We say yes to everything because we feel like we owe God our exhaustion as proof of our gratitude. We cannot rest because resting feels like falling behind on something we owe. We make payments in self punishment. We speak poorly about ourselves. We accept less than we deserve because we secretly believe we do not deserve more. We sabotage good things because something in us believes we have not paid enough yet to receive them.
