God has a special and unique plan for our lives, a destiny that He created just for each one of us. The only thing that can thwart His plan is when we give into Satan and practice sin. God has made a way to lead us out of the darkness of sin and death and into the incredible destiny He created for each one of us!

God wants to bless you because you are his child. Though many of us have heard it and even believe it, living out this truth is easier said than done. At the same time, an enemy is looking to devour you and make you lion lunch. But you are not designed to be lion lunch. You are designed to be restored, strengthened and encouraged by Yeshua himself so you can lead others to know him.

Stress is unavoidable in this life. Whether it's self inflicted or unjustly visited upon us, our first response can be to default to fear, anger, resentment, or jealousy. The scriptures show us a better way for us to deal with these emotions in Psalm 37!

In order to experience true freedom you need to speak, out loud, confession. Confession is not only about sin, all though it is that too, but it also speaking out loud what you're actually feeling in the depths of your heart. Often, we don't even really know we feel something until we hear ourselves say it out loud.
