There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18

Positive change can be challenging. Positive change can be lonely. However, I'm encouraging you not to fear it, because it's good for you! Don't let fear manipulate your destiny and the abundant life that God wants you to have!

You have to overcome fear and I hope this episode inspires you to do just that! I pray this one will bless you 🙏🏽

God is Funny! He will go above and beyond  for his children to show His love. He definitely showed me His sense of humor on this particular day. I was able to laugh, minister forgiveness, and have an unusual spiritual encounter all in one day.

I’m so glad God cares about the little things. I can’t wait for you to hear this testimony!

Life is so precious! We need to cherish it everyday. Well, at least that is the take away I got from this episode. I always knew my Mom was a strong woman but this testimony made me respect her even more.  She should've been DEAD...but God!

To say the least she has come through some very serious trauma. I'm so glad she took time to share her incredible story of bravery and survival with us. I hope this encourages you. I dedicate this episode to all of the Mothers out there (Happy Mother's Day)  but there is a beautiful lesson in it for everyone.  I hope you enjoy! -MJ

In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths - Proverbs 3:6

Destiny is about legacy.  Jealousy can set in people's hearts when they can see what you will be remembered by. God gives us gifts, skills and abilities to build our legacy.  Great destiny comes from difficult challenging paths. Many people want to take easy street in expectation that they will have a great destiny but it doesn't happen that way. If you want certain things you have to follow that path. 

The bible is a treasure map.  If you read & study it you will find out that it's filled with paths. Paths to wealth, paths to love, paths to happiness, paths to peace, paths to joy, but even paths to death. Your feet right now are on a path. So what direction are you headed in? If you don't know I'm sure this episode can clear that up for ya! I hope you enjoy!
