My prayer is that God mends and rebuilds that which was torn down and broken against His authority. The blood of Jesus comes against every spirit that was sent to divide, destroy and devour churches, families and relationships with lies, deceit & manipulation. The blood of Jesus comes against insecurity, hatred, bitterness and animosity as a result. The blood of Jesus comes against the spirit of death that comes to assassinate the people of God’s character; the thief that comes to steal their joy, hopes & dreams; No weapon formed against us shall prosper! Lord, I declare and decree that the seed of discord sown by your ppl, within your ppl shall die! Fight against those who fight against us; shut every lying mouth; every tongue that rises up against us in judgement, shall be condemned. Everything that the locust, cankerworms & palmerworms has stolen, SHALL BE RESTORED!! We shall LIVE & PROSPER…OUR SOUL SHALL PROSPER!! OUR MINISTRIES SHALL PROSPER. Thank you, God, for removing the weeds & the thorns so that we may grow freely in you. Continue to prune us, Lord & remind us that we’re not being buried but, that you are replanting, repotting & replacing us in good soil. We shall grow & flourish in freedom. We shall produce an abundance of good fruit. Truth, peace, love, joy and prosperity shall be our portion on today & forever more. In Jesus’s name I pray, AMEN ![]()
“Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” -Genesis 2:15-17
As we see here in Genesis, God was establishing parameters between everything he created. Everything was intentionally set in place and everything knew its place. Adam was given dominion of the land and had a wide range of freedom and authority within his jurisdiction, Eden. However, the only thing God limited him, and his soon-to-be companion from, was from the tree of knowledge.
God has granted us freedom to choose between good and evil, right from wrong, death and life but like a good parent, for our protection, He has also warned us and instructed us on what to do and what not to do. (Deut. 30:15-16 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments, His statues, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.”). Disobedience to God, just like obedience, leads to consequences (Deut. 28; Rev. 21: 7-8). So, the boundaries he has set in place for us, are for our protection. Think about the laws of the land that we’re governed by. These laws aren’t just for our protection but, for the protection of others around us. When we go beyond our legal rights and boundaries or when an officer goes beyond his/her legal jurisdiction, there are consequences.
John 16:13 “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.”
There are spiritual laws that both heaven and earth are governed by. We give the spirit realm authority in the earth and over our lives based on what we come into agreement with [verbal, binding contracts].
Romans 13: 1-5 (AMP)” Let every person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God’s appointment. 2 Therefore he who resists and sets himself up against the authorities resists what God has appointed and arranged [in divine order]. And those who resist will bring down judgment upon themselves [receiving the penalty due them].3 For civil authorities are not a terror to [people of] good conduct, but to [those of] bad behavior. Would you have no dread of him who is in authority? Then do what is right and you will receive his approval and commendation.4 For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, [you should dread him and] be afraid, for he does not bear and wear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant to execute His wrath (punishment, vengeance) on the wrongdoer.5 Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid God’s wrath and escape punishment, but also as a matter of principle and for the sake of conscience.
Matt. 16: 19 “And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven”.
Matt. 18:18 “Truly I say to you, whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
SET PERSONAL & SPIRITUAL BOUNDARIES IN YOUR LIFE
Just because we’re “allowed” doesn’t mean we should! It’s not good for us to expose ourselves to everything and everybody. For example, we’re currently still going through a pandemic. We’ve been instructed to SOCIALLY DISTANCE ourselves from ppl so that we’re careful not to expose others or become exposed ourselves, to a contagious, life-threatening viruses. Likewise, spiritually, we could become exposed to impurities that would eventually hinder our growth, contaminate our soul, and potentially cause us to die, if we don’t repent, QUICKLY! Everybody isn’t our assignment & we cannot help everybody. We weren’t created to do so. So, even our body is designed, purposely with limited abilities to separate us, humans, from God.
GUARD YOUR HEART (Prov. 4:23; 24:3), that’s what the breastplate of righteousness is for (Ephe. 6:10-18). GUARD YOUR MIND with the helmet of salvation (The Word of God) & be governed by the Holy Spirit. (Romans 8:14 “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God”.) God loves us and He calls us His children, when we are connected to His blood line (Isaiah 59:2; 1 Cor. 6:9-10), and like any other good parent, God loves us enough to protect us from harm, including self-sabotage. We become the victim of our own demise when allow any and everything in our lives and/or when we place ourselves within detrimental environments.
1 COR. 10:23 (NLT) You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial.
Sometimes it’s not warfare against principalities that we end up wrestling with but, the war within ourselves to submit to authority and ordinance of God. And when we STOP fighting against the inevitable and realize that we’re no match for God, that everything has been established before we even existed, we will be able to walk in the authority & domain God has given unto us; in freedom.
2 Cor. 10:3-5 (KJV) 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 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;
MATTHEW 18: 6-7
“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!“
ROMANS 5:17-18
17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life


To the person restless due to unanswered questions and a heavy heart, may God grant you rest and peace, right now! I pray that He releases the answers to the questions you seek; even if it’s the response you may not have been expecting.
May your spirit be open to hear and receive what the Holy Spirit has to say to your church; and for every unanswered question, may you always be reminded of His response in Romans 8:28 that ALL THINGS work together for the good of them who love Him; it may not feel good but, it’s for a purpose. His plans and thoughts towards you are always good
May God lift every burden you’re feeling and remind you that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light; that when you’re weak His strength is made perfect. Lean on Him who is able to keep you from falling. I pray that His spirit of peace, that surpasses all understanding, blankets you, from this day forward…from head to toe. You will not become stuck in this current place but, you shall have the strength you need to persevere forward. Your weeping shall produce an abundance of good fruit in your life.
In Jesus’s name I pray, AMEN
I refuse to be a hypocrite and preach and teach faith and not operate in it in every area of my life.
Lord, I believe that you will help my unbelief and help me to grow and become stronger where I was once weak. I can do all things through you who gives me strength and that includes standing boldly and firm in the presence of giants; against oppositions; because greater are you who is within me than he who is within the world. No matter what the circumstances looks like around me, yet will I trust you!
I’m NOT responsible for what people hear and/or interpret. I’m responsible for what I say
I’m no longer apologizing for anybody’s misinterpretations and assumptions. Once I’ve told you the truth, what you do with it after that is between you and The Father
I will humbly, boldly, confidently and UNAPOLOGETICALLY walk in my calling and purpose
No longer shall I remain comfortable in the shadow when God is calling me out of darkness and into His marvelous light
I refuse to further hide my light under a basket just so others can shine brighter; there’s room for us all to shine
This blog is inspired by a message I heard from Pastor Mike Todd, enentitled “Fratured Faith”, information I learned in my sociology class, and my very own personal experience.
There are some fractures in our lives (deaths even) that were caused by our family members (not limited to our biological family). Our family are our first exposure to society. In sociology, as well as criminology, we’ve learned that an individual’s behavior is influenced by factors outside of his or her control and is affected by his or her upbringing, peers, education, etc. It’s within our family structure where we first learn about relationships/friendships. A lot of us trusted people within our family that ended up betraying us, lying on us and verbally abusing us. Some of is are broken not necessarily by what was said to us but, by what wasn’t said. Allow me to encourage you on today that YOU CAN be healed and made whole. Your circumstance(s) was out of your control but, God is in control. Give every fragment of your life to God; every fractured and broken piece, He can and he will restore [Psalm 147:3 “He heals the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds]. He is Jehovah Rapha and there’s nothing too hard for Him. You were created effortlessly. His thoughts and plans towards you are good .[Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”] Your brokenness and your placement was intentional. Remember Joseph who was placed in a pit by his brothers? The plan was to kill him but, God had a ram in the bush! Reuben, the only one of Joseph’s brothers, declared that he shall live and not die! I or someone else, may be your Reuben today. They attempted murder on your life but, God says you shall live! They threw dirt on your name, left you for dead and tried to bury you alive but, just as Jesus spoke unto Lazerus, I encourage you to come forth! You may be fractured but, your purpose still lives because you live! Don’t allow your vision to be distorted by your fractures. I had to force myself , broken and all, to push through the pain. Just as a woman in labor. Don’t allow the pain to hinder you from pushing. The contractions are harder the closer you get to birthing what’s in you. I too had to fulfill my assignment and allow him to heal me, and He did. You may have to one day face the people that literally tried to kill and destroy you but, once God restores you, you’re going to look brand new and unrecognizable. Live my sisters and brothers and be healed and made whole.
