There was a time when I battled with the enemies lies in my head. The voices got louder and louder the more I entertained them and believed them! I found myself unable to hear Gods small still voice and eventually couldn’t even pray in peace. This happened because I didn’t know who I was in Christ! I did not know my identity in God. I believed a lie because I didn’t know the truth. When I began to read the word, I realized I was being deceived! That God did love me and would meet me right where I was. So I started to believe who God said I was instead of what my past said about me. I started walking as the fearfully and wonderfully made version of my self God created me to be. I felt more and more confident and began declaring and decreeing, touching and agreeing with what the word said about me! One scripture that helped me a lot during this time of sifting the lies through Gods righteous right hand was ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬ that says… “…casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” Thats a 2 step process that tells us to check our thoughts and self talk and stop it right there! Then bind that thing and kill it with the truth of Gods word. And that’s exactly what I did… one by one until I became who God said I was. Now, here I am not walking in the fullness of who I am becoming in Christ. This scripture was one that allowed me to reintroduce myself to myself and grab hold to my God given rights as a beloved child of God! I dare you to do the same. I dare you to stop allowing your past to define you and allow God to refine you! All Glory to God!!

Forgive me, I was taking a little break from social media… Thanks to all who joined this weeks W.O.O.T. Group! It truly a blessing to fellowship and share testimonies all while diving into the Word of God! We reviewed Day 2 of our lesson on “Faith that doesn’t Flinch” and dug deep as we answered questions like What situation in my life right now is testing my faith the most? And, What lies or fears do I need to reject in order to stand stronger in my faith? Next weeks lesson is a declaration! “The Fire Won’t Consume Me! We are pressing forward with what we learned from this weeks lesson and applying this scripture to our lives… “…when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Be sure to join us December 23rd at 8pm live on the Skool app. Also, be sure to go check out the pre-challenge worksheet under the Classroom tab. You’ll find previous lessons on there to review. Remember… Your W.O.O.T. is your Victory Cry! Come ready to testify of the goodness of the Lord! Keiana Juniel Founder of W.O.O.T.

I want you to take a moment to think back over your life. Think about the fact that every obstacle… every test… every trial… every heart break and disappointment you’ve ever faced is behind you! That thing you thought would take you out didn’t! What Satan meant to destroy you did not prevail because you are alive and reading this right now! And it’s all to the Glory of God! Whether it was our own doing or an attack of the enemy, God still gets the praise! His word reassures us as we pick up our cross daily and walk this narrow path of righteousness, we don’t have to worry or be afraid… “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are those called according to his purpose.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬ 📖 This scripture gives us a comforting promise of protection and provision and grace in spite of our circumstances. God never promised there wouldn’t be troubles but He did promise to give us beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for those who mourn and a praise for a spirit of heaviness. Proclaim today that in Christ… 🙌🏼 I am an overcomer! 🙌🏼 I am no longer bound! 🙌🏼 I am free! And then walk in that freedom!

The Bible in and of itself is a book. A lot of Bibles are sitting somewhere collecting dust unfortunately. Imagine someone getting a cook book but never opening it up, reading it, going to the store, buying the ingredients, following the directions, and ultimately creating something. Imagine creating something but never eating it or serving it to someone else?! Make it make sense! Compare that to someone reading the word, gaining revelation from it, believing it, and never applying to their lives or sharing the good news with someone else. The Word of God becomes the living Word when we read it, apply it to our lives and then share it. Faith activates the power in scripture. Like reading the recipe and then going to the store to buy the ingredients. Prayer is like getting all the ingredients together and placing it in the oven to bake. Patience grows when we trust God while waiting on it to bake to perfection. Faith is grown when we see the finished product and we pull it out the oven. Too soon and it won’t be done, wait too long and it will burn… Gods timing is perfect. Growth happens when you eat it and it nourishes your body. Elevation happens when you share it with others. You gain a Title, Baker! Your reward is in that person eating it, loving it too and sharing with the next person that it was good! Recap: Faith activates the Living Word Reading it puts it in our Hearts Praying gives it Power Patience grows when we trust God while waiting on his perfect timing This grows our Faith to share the good news which elevates us as disciples of Jesus Our reward is Salvation and being used by God to help bring souls to Christ! (Extra credit!!! for the W.O.O.T. Members… in Rev 2:19 Jesus was warning a church when He said “I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.”… Where did they fall short?) Comment your answer… I have a gift for the first person to answer correctly!
