Guys, I have a confession. I’m walking through a breakthrough right now. It’s a gate. It’s unfamiliar. But I’m doing it anyway. I’m doing it in Jesus, cuz He said I could. Today, is the end of a 21 Day Business Sales Challenge with my mentor. I came in first place by 3,000 points. I worked hard with joy for it. I grew, I learned, I got lots of sales because I gave steep promos. My goal was to win so I could get exposure through my mentor’s network for the ultimate goal of bringing my husband home from a job. Then, we can work this together, turn on the financial faucet and steward the funds for His ministry. My mentor messaged me last night and said he wasn’t sure if I should get the points for all those invoices I submitted (it’s how you earn points) because my promo prices were incredibly low compared to other contestants. Then he followed up with, “lol I guess I didn’t specify how much you should charge.” We had a nice interaction and in the end, he liked my strategy and asked to interview me on youtube to show others what I did. But, here’s the breakthrough. It made me question myself… even till an hour ago. Did I cheat? Do I not deserve it? No, I followed the rule. I worked hard. I did the actions to get to first place. It made me afraid of being first place. I was afraid of taking something because I had a sharp strategy and relentlessness due to having a huge WHY. This morning, I had 3 more invoices come in “paid”. I almost didn’t submit them because I was already 2,000 points ahead. Holy Spirit reminded me of something, and I submitted it quickly before my human mind could get in the way. So, I prayed and praised the Lord. God’s been working on moving me from the residue of the orphan to a daughter who receives. I didn’t set out to win for self-exhortation. I ultimately aim to give God all the glory all the time. So I ask him, “Lord, what do You want me to do with this victory.” I share this here because I needed to share with someone. And I needed a community that might understand what I’m going through. I’m growing spiritually and financially. The only way I can make it is if I remain meek and touch none of the glory.

Post a scripture that has a promise you're standing on in the comments 🥳 God's Word is not based on feelings. You are blessed and highly favored, not because you feel that way, but because God says you are. You are the head and not the tail, above and not below. God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory. No reward or promotion comes without a trial or battle. Are you in a battle my friend? Are you going through a test? Well its not a test of your finances, of your marriage or of your health. The Bible says its a test of your faith. James 1:2-4 "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. You must declare God's promises over your situation and watch them change. You are the lender, not the borrower, in Jesus' name! Don't look at your situation. We walk by faith, not by sight! I need you to understand this mystery. Your situation is not outside of you; it is created by you and through you. God created all things by His word. You are not someone who borrows; you are someone who lends! Even when you owe money! You must declare this because it is the truth! Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me." You declare the truth, believe the truth, and reject the lie, no matter how real the lie may seem. That means if you don't have enough... your situation is a lie... because the word of God says "God will supply al of your needs" If you can't sleep.... your situation is a lie... the word says "God gives his beloved rest" Let the word of God be true, and every man a liar. God has placed His Word above His name. If you say you are a debtor, you're poor, you're sick etc, then you are either saying that God is lying, or that His Word does not apply to you.

This was on my heart today. I was raised by incredible men who became father figures in my life because my biological father wanted nothing to do with me. He left my mother when she was a pregnant teenager. He went on to live his life and raise seven other children... but not me. While I was blessed with two amazing dads, first being adopted by my uncle and later by my stepdad, I still carried the weight of rejection. As a little girl, I would often think to myself, "What's wrong with me?" I watched this man love and care for my half-brothers and sisters while rejecting me, and I couldn't understand why. But as I got older, I realized it was never about me. It had everything to do with his own battles, wounds, and choices. I learned that God used him as a vessel to bring me into this world, and then used other men as vessels to provide what I needed along the way. Now, as a grown woman, I realize that the true source of love, acceptance, identity, and everything I have ever needed is found in God our Father. If today is hard for you because of the absence of a father, the loss of a father, or the pain caused by a father, I want to encourage you with this: Healing begins when we recognize who our true source is. People will fail us. Some will leave. Some will reject us. Some will never become the parent we wished they would be. But God has never abandoned you, and He never will. The pain of rejection may take time to heal, but healing starts with two things: 1. Knowing who your source is. 2. Choosing forgiveness. Forgiveness does not excuse what happened. It simply releases you from carrying the weight of it. Today, whether Father's Day brings joy or pain, know that you are deeply loved by your Heavenly Father. Your value was never determined by who stayed or who left. Your value was settled at the cross. Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads, father figures, spiritual fathers, and mentors who have stepped into the gap and reflected the love of our Heavenly Father. 💛

I was speaking with a lady at my church yesterday and she shared that the battle was on for her mind. She had gone to evangelize her family in her hometown and ever since she has been facing spiritual attacks. The trip itself was hard. Her family was not receptive and since she's gotten back... she feels worthless and alone. She was asking me what I think is happening and I gave her a couple options... 1. Its just a wilderness season... its normal is these seasons that nothing has really changed but your emotions are out of wack and you know you're facing a battle 2. Your spiritual life was thrown off by you traveling... When you change your routine... it can be challenging to get back immediately. If you're dedicating certain times to pray and you've been doing that consistenly for a period of time... if you miss prayer (because of travel or other practical issues that come up when you're around new people) it can be hard to get back on track... It took me months after our conference... I was praying extended time through the day and when other Pastors and people came in I had to play host... but that meant sacrificing my prayer time... and honestly im still not where I was... Its hard to explain but if you know.. you know 3. You were not supposed to go... THis one isn't fun but some battles are not our battles But after talking to her for a while... it was clear... it wasn't any of the above. The truth was she went to fight for her family and those generational spirits started attacking her. She was so down and defeated that I just had to start teasing her. "You went there to fight for you family... and now you're complaining?" "You didn't really want to fight" You see there is never a reward or victory without a Battle. She was given the opportunity to fight but it was a fight. Why is that a big deal? Well we cannot just choose to fight spiritual things... We wrestle not against flesh and blood. Understand that we don't engage demons or fallen angels... or atleast I would encourage you not to.

King Sennacherib, the King of Assyria, terrorized King Hezekiah, the King of Judah. The Lord intervened and fought King Hezekiah’s battle. King Hezekiah fought his battle by crying out to the Lord. Scriptural authority: The battle is set forth in great detail beginning in Isaiah chapter 36:1 through the end of Isaiah chapter 37. The same exact battle is also recounted, with slightly different emphasis, starting at 2 Kings 18:13 and continuing through the end of 2 Kings chapter 19.🔥 The scripture setting forth King Hezekiah’s very stressful ordeal is chocked full of rich revelation - the enemy’s clear intention was to immobilize King Hezekiah, and the people of Judah, with fear - please note in 2 Kings 19:36 (and in Isaiah 37:37) that King Sennacherib, the King of Assyria, was from Nineveh. I have heard commentators speak about Nineveh’s reputation for being brutal - I have also heard that groups like Isis have their roots in Assyria. In this regard, reflect back upon the manner in which Isis has a history of terrorizing the world during previous presidential administrations. They would film their terror and then send social media posts with videos of rows of blindfolded men kneeling in orange jumpsuits just prior to being beheaded before the rolling cameras. Are you able to recall a time in your life when the enemy of our souls sought to create terror in your life? The answer is likely yes - However, comfort and equipping, about our authority as sons and daughters of God, are found in His Word … see scripture citations in the comments below 🔥
