As a young boy, Moses experienced trauma. From being surrounded by the grief-stricken screams of mothers losing their babies to a murdering spirit to being thrust hastily in a basket and set to float on the Nile River. He went from a warm and loving atmosphere to residing in a cold, idolatrous castle that belonged to the enemies of his people. Moses lived a life that denied him a genuine community. And just when he found out who he really was, his emotions triggered in anger, and the orphaned, yet destined prophet became a murderer.

Moses’ story is not unlike many of ours. Many of us can relate to dealing with childhood trauma that followed us into adulthood. We have been triggered in areas that we’ve managed to mask for years only to have them affect our ability to maintain relationships, to serve faithfully in the work of ministry, and to maintain gainful employment, among other things.

There is hope for us. God didn’t leave Moses alone. He made a way for Moses to receive the healing, validation, and sense of community that he needed to develop the leader that burrowed within him, that one that was hidden behind the scars of a traumatic childhood. This message is a real one that unearths what many of us have tried to conceal. It will reveal how destructive triggers are and make a strong case for why we need to confront and overcome them. Listen and be blessed.

Exodus 2

“I know God’s got a ram in the bush for me!” How many times have we heard or even said that? And while that may be a true statement, it is a loaded one. In fact, it is so loaded, that it carries at least three Godly principles that precede your ram’s release. In Genesis 22, Abraham was faced with a challenging act of obedience. God wanted the most dearest and most closest thing to his heart, his cherished and long-awaited son, Isaac. Pay close attention to what happens next. Abraham obeys, Abraham uses wisdom to prevent any delay in obeying God, Abraham prophesied in faith that he and Isaac would return from the mountain, and then Abraham committed the act. These are the processes which led to the ram’s release. It wasn’t until AFTER Abraham was caught in the act, that Heaven reacted. How many times have we expected Heaven to move when earth hasn’t prepared a place for such a move.

This message unlocks out some powerful pointers in what your ram is, what it means for you beyond the act of obedience, and the real meaning of Jehovah Jireh!! Prepare to be enlightened. You may need your notebook for this one. Listen and be blessed.

Genesis 22

God made a promise to King David that his son, Solomon, would not only inherit the throne but would also enjoy a reign of uninterrupted peace. Like all prophetic words, this one was contingent upon David’s obedience and his acceptance and willingness to confront every enemy that would pose a threat to his son’s future kingdom. David was a man of war, yes, He was God’s man of battle, but David also faced battles of his own. David faced distressing emotions, episodes of manic depression, rejection in his family, betrayal in his camp, and so many other battles against his destiny, yet he overcame each and every one.

2 Chronicles 22:9

In prayer this morning, the Lord brought someone to my spirit which led me to ask, "Why is this person always discouraged?" I couldn't;t help but notice that this person battled with constant discouragement and was often seen with their head hung down. The Lord responded, "(He) sows the seed of discouragement in the lives of others!" WOW!
