Wartime in the Mind
When an old thought or imagination pops into your mind out of nowhere, question it. Take that thought captive and bring it to the obedience of Christ. You’re not just thinking self-defeating thoughts—the enemy is shooting darts at your mind to slow you down. Where else is he fighting you? Right… the fight is in…

Disrupted
“For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” — Romans 8:19 NKJV There are so many people waiting for what you have. I’ve heard that so many times in the past and would think to myself, “I have nothing to offer.” I also resented the statement…

From Grave Digger to Victor
I was driving the other day and thought about something mean someone said to me a while ago. It just popped up outta nowhere. I got angry all over again, and then I started thinking about all the other mean things people have said to me over the years. Before I knew it, I came…

The Great Pumpkin
When I was a kid, I had a bully. Most of us had the same bully, unfortunately. It was a girl called ‘Metris—short for Demetrius. She was in a grade higher than me and was bigger than all of us because she developed early. She was also unwashed most of the time. On a school…

It’s your mouth.
What Are You Speaking Against? I recently had a conversation with a woman who was full of negative confessions. She’s in the process of selling a house, yet she spent an hour telling me all the reasons why it wouldn’t sell. I paused and asked her, “Then why is it even listed? Give me three…

Everything is Temporary
I’ve been thrown in Facebook jail before—many times, who am I kidding? I had one page that would get 3–7 days every other week, then they went to 90 days at a time. I had never been banned until now. A ban hurts a little more because it feels so final. You can’t even see…

A Ball for Monsters
I watched Monster’s Ball years ago, and back then I didn’t really get the depth of the movie because I hadn’t lived long enough to know that sometimes, you gotta just let yourself be loved. Last night, it was on—so I watched it—and it clicked. It’s kinda beautiful when you think about it. Two people…

Community Standards
Good morning! Just an FYI. I haven’t deleted anyone or my page. This is what I woke up to. My page has been marked for permanent removal and has been removed. I can’t get anything on messenger either. Reach me here or email me. I can’t send or receive inbox messages either

Such that I have..
Peter said, “Silver and gold have I none, but what I do have I give to you: rise up and walk.” That is drastically different than how we speak to sickness today—or even how we behave. You were not told to pray for sickness! You SPEAK to it! It’s false humility to walk around acting…

The Lord and Moses.
What’s cool about Moses is that he is a historical figure, not just biblical. His life is documented in secular history but the layer that makes it so beautiful to me is his relationship with the Living God. Imagine God in the form of a cloud standing in your doorway just talking with you. Don’t…
