Purpose. We all have it.  God ordained it.  For everyone. But having purpose isn’t enough on its own.  What is it that takes us from “purposeful,” to useful?  The answer?  Implementation, ordination, or being commissioned!  THAT is what takes our Purposefulness, to “usefulness”— Jonah had purpose as it regarded Nineveh, but his purpose alone wasn’t actually useful until he finally surrendered to,...

In our modern world that often views authority as suppression, the Bible actually presents a very different picture.  What if God’s design for authority wasn’t about prevention… but PRO-tection?  What if the Biblical coverings aren’t meant to diminish your calling as a woman, but actually to facilitate it, and strengthen it?  In today’s world, we often see extremism on both sides:  Either it’s, “N...

A word of warning from the Holy Spirit for those with ears to hear it, to get in under a Godly covering, because a storm is coming in an unexpected suddenly 

Bible Study of Genesis 2 that looks closely at the creation of Adam and Eve to see their purpose from the beginning and the roles both men and women each have to fill in order to fulfill God's will 

Bible Study of 1 Timothy 3 where Paul explains the Criteria for being used in Ministry within the church

To the God-fearing woman:  do you know that God has a special plan for your life to help build the His kingdom on Earth, as it is in heaven?   Throughout Scripture, God called women to fulfill powerful purposes in His Kingdom. From Deborah, to Huldah, from Priscilla, to the women who first proclaimed the resurrection of Jesus, the Bible is filled with examples of God using women to impact the live...

Can God use women in ministry?   It’s a question that has been highly debated for generations. Some say “of course!” Others say “definitely not…” but you?  You might not actually be sure…  So what DOES the Bible actually reveal?? Bc in it, you’ll find the prophetess Deborah… to Huldah… to Priscilla… to Philip’s daughters who prophesied… Scripture reveals that God has always used women in many powe...

Every desire in your life… literally every. single. one… flows from one place —your heart. - Yet Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” - That’s why Ezekiel 36:26 says, “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of fle...

“I’m rubber and you’re glue. Whatever you say, bounces off of me, and sticks to you.” “Sticks and Stones may ‘break my bones,’ but words will never hurt me.” I’m sure we remember those sayings as kids. Though taught that with good intentions, those sayings couldn’t be further from the truth. - Your words are not mere enunciations with varying degrees of decibels,… They are seeds. They are swords....

Did God choose Job for great trials, or for great reward? Job got back double what he lost and more. Beyond the physical reward, his story was heard and continue to help people across untold dispensations of time. He may not have known "why" he went through what he did, but he knew "who" was leading him through it and would bring justice for it in the end. God is just, good, and so very faithful t...

Did you know that many of the battles you’re fighting started with something you saw? Visuals can have a huge impact on perception, and there after, reception. Your eyes are powerful. What we consistently look at will eventually begin to shape what we desire… and ultimately, who we become. In Part 2 of our series “Guard the Gates,” we’re diving into the Eye Gate because not everything deserves you...

Have you ever stopped to think about the things in our lives that have the greatest impact that shapes our faith? And crucially, what are the things in our lives that work against our faith?  The truth is—what we allow in our lives can drastically dictate how we feel, what we believe and how we live. The things we listen to are no exception. Every voice we allow in our lives are planting something...

What if I told you… that PERFECT peace is not found when the storm ends… but right in the middle of it? So many people are waiting for life to calm down before they can finally have peace… But what if God never promised the absence of trouble—only His presence in it? We’re going to uncover how you can have a steady heart…a guarded mind… and unshakable peace—even when everything around you feels un...

What do we do when God gives us a promise… but then, makes us wait? Specifically… MUCH longer we’re comfortable with? When the doors we want doesn’t open… When everything in your life feels like it’s on a perpetual pause? Because if we’re being honest—waiting is one of the hardest parts of walking with God.  You see we live in a culture where waiting is discarded for the convenience of “NOW”.  Fro...

“He is not here: for He is risen… as He said.” (Matthew 28:6) This message reminds us that God is faithful to His Word—even when we don’t fully understand it in the moment. The same voice that spoke resurrection is still speaking promises over your life today.

Temptations and Trials… We all face them. As Christians, much more than most in my opinion… But What if the fire you’re in… isn’t meant to destroy your faith in God—but actually to prove it? “Faith Under Fire” — part 2 of our new series: “Faithfully Trusting… & Trusting in His Faithfulness.” In life, we all face moments where our faith is tested… Seasons where trusting God isn’t easy… Times wh...

Exhaustion. We’ve all felt it. And honestly, we’re all tired of it. But what if the reason we’re exhausted… is because we’re trying to carry the things that God never asked us to hold? We live in a world that glorifies constant motion… Always doing. Always striving. Always pushing. But what if true strength… is found in knowing when to stop? In Jeremiah 17, God gives us a powerful picture— One lif...

In the priestly garments described in Exodus 28, God designed something remarkable. Along the hem of the High Priest’s robe were golden bells and pomegranates — sound and fruit working together. Because in God’s kingdom, life is not meant to be silent. The bells rang as the priest ministered, declaring that he was alive and serving before the Lord. And beside each bell was a pomegranate — a symbol...

Outfits, clothes, attire, uniforms… Interestingly enough, the choice of clothes we wear are often a reflection of how we feel in terms of priority-labelling in the environment in-which we are residing.  Example:  What I wear to Walmart, is very likely not what I would wear to my nephew’s graduation ceremony.  In the sense of our spiritual clothes, or honestly, sometimes naturally speaking, what ar...

Before God clothes,… He calls. Much like a baby, that after they are born, he or she is placed in swaddling clothes. The 28th chapter of Exodus doesn’t begin with required garments. It begins with a summons. “Take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother… that he may minister unto Me.” Aaron didn’t campaign for it. He didn’t earn it. He was called. And with that calling came consecration. Set apart. Separ...

“Death is final… It is powerful… It is unavoidable…. Or is it? What if physical death for the believer isn’t actually what we’ve been taught? When Jesus spoke of Lazarus after he was gone and buried, he spoke of him saying, ‘Our friend Lazarus sleepeth.’ Often times you’ll find that scripture does not present death for the child of God in finality — but as rest… waiting… and awakening. We discover...

Oh death where's thy sting? Oh grave where's thy victory? You may not realize this, but when the Apostle Paul wrote these words, he was actually taunting death or as we might say today, he was trolling it.   “Oh death, where's your sting? Oh grave, where's your victory?”   We continue our powerful series Wanted: Dead and Alive, Part Two: Death Has No Hold.   If we're going to be honest, death can...

A timely and much needed look at what the Bible says, God’s stand is on national boarders and how we, as believers, should handle foreigners. This is an important topic to understand in our current political climate so that we can align ourselves with the word and wisdom of God and not be deceive by the enemy into standing against God, unknowingly. The devil is very cunning, but God’s word always...

Why do some people's prayers seem to move heaven and earth? Do they know something about how to get their prayers heard? Well, yes. The Bible tell us exactly what we need to do, have powerful effective prayers that God hears and responds too.
