A memory came up in my Facebook feed today that I’d posted a year ago this morning. It was a Saturday morning. Jan 25, 2020. I can tell you the exact day of the week, because I know the days of the week that followed. But before I get into all that, I want to …
I’ve been actively seeking employment for a month now. And due to the pandemic, it’s been an uphill battle. I literally spend hours upon hours a day seeking out employment online- which is a change from when I got my first job almost 20 years ago. But even with the internet supposedly making applying for …
In order to receive healing, you have to want the Healer more. And Jehovah Rapha, our God, is the ultimate physician. After losing everything that mattered to me in January 2020, God met me at Mercy, exactly as I was, where I was. Depressed, full of fear. And something we don’t often talk about in …

Over Christmas break, I got a book written by modern day prophets, Jermaine and Rebecca Francis. The title of the book is “Activating the Gift of Prophecy” and it’s a great read by the way.

Revelation 12:11 is a powerful verse. It talks of victory. It speaks of Jesus. And while Jesus died for us and did a thing, there’s a second part to this verse that is just as important. It tells us that we, as followers of Christ, are overcomers. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb. …
