1 John 4:18 says, “Perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.” The more you receive God’s perfect love, the less fear will have power over you.

"I felt like I did something wrong to God. My auto insurance went up $100 for no reason. My driving record for the last year has been perfect. And God has told me to surrender my license plate because I can no longer afford insurance. And it has me thinking like, Why is God angry with me?  Have you ever felt like God may be punishing you? That all this suffering is just a little too much. Like what did I do?"

If you can relate stay tuned as I break down how Faith + Financial Struggles leads to break through!

God has a way of working everything for your good and His glory. This may cost you some relationships, some money, some time but in the end God rewards obedience. The Promise of God is connected to the Obedience of God - one act of full obedience sparks a promise for generations to generations! I’ve gone from a season of mourning to rejoicing in the Lord.

To the woman of God, woman of faith, God hears and sees you, God is your Provider, God is faithful to the Late Bloomers, the outcasts and God still works, even when we go off plan. I know how you feel. When you read God’s Word you discover how He feels about you As a result your memories begin to heal, your self-worth is restored, and you stop trading with a devalued self-image. When that happens, you no longer believe that "anybody's company is preferable to my own.

The power of life and death lies in your tongue. This verse means that we have the power and authority to speak life or death into our situation. Here are three principles you need to live by: (1) Think first. Sounds simple but it’s a step we often forget in the midst of our day to day life. Before you speak, pause for ten seconds and mentally preview your words. What you don't say today, you won't have to explain tomorrow. (2) Talk less. Your chances of getting into trouble increase exponentially when you talk too much. Conserve your verbal energy. (3) Start today. Saints, we already have enough passages of Scripture to help bring your tongue into submission. So put that muzzle on your mouth now -and watch how it enriches your life.

I hope this episode provides hope & encouragement to my fellow sisters & brothers in Christ who also have struggled with lust. I posted another video on my channel about how God delivered me from the sin of pornography & over the course of these past 6 months I’ve learned how to take authority over my mind, body & soul. There is truly freedom from lust! So choose to fight today. Because you can say no to temptation.

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

There’s a word in that verse, you don’t hear much anymore…dismayed. And I had to pause and ask, what does dismayed actually mean? Dismayed means feeling distress or anxiety, typically at something unexpected. It also means to look around in terror. God is speaking with tenderness here, telling us not to look around as one might do in danger or in a state of alarm. He’s telling us to instead be calm because He’s here with us.

The phrase “leap of faith” is to believe in something or someone based on faith rather than evidence. Believing that an individual could only understand God through faith rather than logic. There’s a working theory that this can also apply to instances that do not pertain to an act of stepping out in faith of God, our Creator. This theory can also apply in other cases and actions, such as taking a job that could be a little risky or making a decision that is scary and challenging.

Before God created you, he decided what role He wanted you to play on earth. It’s Important to note that God never wastes anything. He would not give you abilities, interests, talents, gifts, personality, and life experiences unless he intended to use them for His Glory. I cannot stress the importance for a believer to receive the words God is saying, God doesn’t waste abilities. Your abilities were not given to you just to make a living; God gave them to you for your ministry. The reason I say this is because it feels good to do what God made you to do. When you minister in a manner consistent with the personality and gifts God gave you, you experience fulfillment, satisfaction and fruitfulness.
