I don’t think we realize how offended we really are 💔and how, when it goes undealt with, offense starts making decisions for us and convincing us they’re right…even when God never said it. ❤️‍🩹 Launching a ministry to prove you were overlooked. ❤️‍🩹 Hosting worship, prayer, and prophecy nights but to show your anointed. ❤️‍🩹 Building platforms because you felt silenced. ❤️‍🩹 Doing your own thing because correction felt like rejection. ❤️‍🩹 Starting a church not because God spoke, but because you were wounded where you last served. The truth is, there’s unresolved pain. And the pain part doesn’t make you a bad Christian..it makes you human. That part is okay. God can heal that. But the unresolved part? That’s what God is after. Because that’s the part affecting your next. Your next decision. Your next move. Your next yes. And until it’s acknowledged, it will keep influencing what you call being obedient to God. Before you call it God. Check the heart. Because here’s a very very hard truth… offense is strong enough to start something but never strong enough to keep it alive. I made a declaration over the gifted this morning! I said,“Whatever we do in 2026 will be because God graced us not because offense pressured us!” 🙌🏾 -Alrecus Ford

Sometimes God allows us to be beautifully broken, so the masterpiece He creates can reveal the full power of His healing, His deliverance, and His restoration. To be beautifully broken… I know what it means to walk through divorce.To struggle financially.To have a car repossessed and be evicted.I know the heartbreak of losing a child.I know the trauma of physical and sexual assault.I know what it feels like to be lied on, talked about, slandered, and misjudged. I know what it feels like to pray for everyone else’s children while your own child is fighting addiction and perversion.I know what it feels like to stand on the edge of suicide, barely holding on.I know what it feels like to lose a father—the steady voice who shaped your life.I know the sting of rejection, betrayal, abandonment, and being dropped by the very people who said they loved you.I know the weight of fear and anxiety when it squeezes you in a chokehold. And yet… After all of this, I now understand what it means to be beautifully broken. I know what it looks like when a loving, sovereign God picks up shattered pieces and fits them together with divine precision.I know what it feels like to be held together by His unfailing love.I know the peace that settles over you when it should’ve been impossible.I know the tender touch of a God who wipes tears you never thought would stop falling.I know what it means for Him to snatch you from the grip of death and breathe new life into your lungs. I now know deeply, fully, undeniably, what it means to be beautifully broken. Because broken in His hands is never the end of the story.It’s the beginning of the masterpiece.

Ladies, let’s talk about something most women never realize they’re fighting: the Leviathan spirit —“the twisting one.” Recently I was reading Job and the Spirit prompted me to endeavor to find out more about the spirit of Leviathan. As I was studying, I found out the root word for this spirit is called the "twisting one". This is important because it uncovers how this spirit operates in chaos and confusion. How it twists words and distortion perceptions and realities. This serpent-like spirit shows up all throughout Scripture, first in Job, and repeatedly in Psalms and Isaiah. It represents pride, chaos, confusion, and mental resistance to God’s order. And here’s the part many of us miss: Leviathan attacks the MIND first… because your identity and purpose live there. This spirit twists: your thoughts your emotions your conversations your perception of yourself your relationships ...and even how you hear God Its goal? To make you unsure of who you are, disconnected from divine order, and mentally exhausted. Signs You’re Under Leviathan’s Attack: • Constant confusion or mental fog • Overthinking everything • Feeling misunderstood or like people twist your words • Emotional chaos with no clear cause • Pride disguised as “protection” or “independence” • Resistance to correction or godly alignment • Isolation even when you need support • Feeling “stuck” spiritually It’s not just warfare. It’s twisting warfare. But here’s the truth: Leviathan is too strong for human effort, but not for God. Just like God told Job, only He can slay the twisting serpent. So if you feel this attack, here’s what you do: How to Break This Spirit’s Grip: 1. Humble yourself before God. Pride is Leviathan’s fuel. 2. Slow your speech and guard your words. 3. Renew your mind daily. No gaps for confusion to enter. 4. Submit to God’s order, not your emotions. 5. Let God fight what you cannot fix. Sis, hear me, your identity is not up for negotiation. The enemy can twist your thoughts, your feelings, your relationships, even your confidence…
