The Lord's Prayer
Matthew 6:9-13 is based on four principles:
We must pray and petition according to God’s will and His glory.
We must want God’s Fatherly love for us.
The provision we pray for must supply our needs AND give us the ability to serve Him.
God will reward us accordingly; we reap what sow- generously or sparingly.

A generation rising, a legacy being birthed
The more revelation I get about the goodness of my Dad, the less I can sit idly and watch as Death continues to rape, rob, and pillage the people I love. It’s not just about setting people free from sickness and disease. It’s not just about setting people free from the spiritual and emotional oppression of the evil one. It’s not just about telling the worst of sinners that they...

Stay inside the grace of one day
Jesus said not to plan or worry about tomorrow because tomorrow has enough trouble of its own. For so long I planned and thought about long term all the time and was told by churches to have a five, ten, and twenty year plan. The problem with that is that it almost always produced anxiety in me and now I know why.
We are not designed to spend too much time trying to figure out the future. God is...

Dear ones,
I have thought deeply about all that goes on here in the world, where people have the power to hurt each other.
I don’t mean to say that I have…already reached perfection, but I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ has saved me for and wants me to be. No, dear friends; no, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all...

I can’t. I’m out of energy, out of strength. I’m exhausted. It’s been an entire year behind closed doors, pouring my heart and soul into the most challenging academic year of my life. A year of people not understanding the sacrifices I’ve had to make, but only seeing themselves within my situation and feeling that I’ve abandoned them. A year that required me to...
