Generational Curses As children of God and the Spirit, we find ourselves in a constant battle for our minds while residing in physical bodies. Whenever life’s pressures emerge, we have the option to process our thoughts through a corrupted and worldly perspective, relying on our own human logic and past encounters. Unfortunately, this tends to…
Spiritual Abuse

False Authority From the very beginning of the faith, people have sought positions of authority within the Body of Christ for unworthy reasons, such as the desire for influence, power, and money. Additionally, some leaders have been influenced by the need to please their congregations. I strongly believe that, no matter how faithful, humble, or…
Forgive

The Unforgivable By the time I was twenty-four, I had decided to follow God, or perhaps it was more accurate to say I chose to listen to His call. I was very young in my faith and knew little about God’s nature. However, I understood that forgiving others was not optional. One night, while sitting…
Covenant

Contract with God The new covenant God established for humanity’s restoration, made possible by Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, occurred between AD 30 and AD 36. What brings me the greatest comfort is knowing that this divine plan was in place long before the world was created, as mentioned in Revelation 13:8. Blood covenants were binding contracts…
The Trinity

Father Son & Holy Spirit I’ve always attempted to understand important issues, and one day during a ladies’ Bible study, we explored the concept of God’s triune nature.

He remarkably fulfilled more than 300 widely recognized prophecies from the Old Testament. It is God the Father’s desire for us to comprehend our identity in Christ Jesus,…
Not Alone

The Father & The Spirit The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit, who is recognized as the third person of the Triune God, holds great significance in the lives of Christians, just as promised by Jesus. His role as our divine counselor is crucial, as He offers solace and comfort in the midst of life’s challenges.…
Our Friend Hope

Leon Came to Visit For a time, my mother received a monthly check from Social Security. Her first stop was always my house, where she would leave my youngest sister, Chanel, in my care for the rest of the month. Unfortunately, after leaving my home, my mother often ended up partying, drinking, and using drugs…
Jimmy Charles

Stepdad A.K.A. Dad Jimmy, my stepdad by the world’s standards but my dad in his own heart, was not perfect. He was what the world calls a functioning addict. Alcohol was his biggest issue, but it certainly wasn’t his only one. To many, he appeared judgmental and racist. I found it ironic, mainly because Jimmy…
My Husband Kurt

God’s Perspective “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Yahweh. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”(Isa 55:8-9 WEB) When God brought Kurt into my life, I had no idea we…
