Destiny, Let’s Unpack This.

Welcome to today’s episode. We’ll explore Proverbs 11, titled “Without Good Direction, People Lose Their Way.” This chapter contrasts the outcomes of pride, envy, and wickedness with the blessings of humility, integrity, and righteousness. Solomon reminds us that while the wicked may appear to prosper temporarily, God sees all, judges justly, and blesses those who follow Him faithfully.

Welcome to the first episode in my newest series of Holy Girl Summer Bible Studies. Sit and unpack the word of God with me. Let's allow iron to sharpen iron."Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation."Matthew 26:41

In this episode, inspired by Isaiah is: A Call from Depravity to DeliveranceIsaiah 62:11-12

In this brief discussion, I will unpack Ecclesiastes 3: 1-11. "I have seen the burden that God has placed on us all. Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end." Ecclesiastes 3:10-11 Join me as I unpack what eternity in our hearts my look like, and how we can find fulfillment. What do people really get for all their hard work? Do you know the answer?

In the first part of this episode, I unpack the journey that I went on in search of understanding God's complete love for His people. Tune is as I share details of my childhood, experiences of serving in ministry as well as how I grew into the awareness of my spiritual gifts and how they will serve the kingdom of God. Remember that everyone is someone that God loves. Many Blessings,

The moment that you have an awareness of just how greatly the Most High God loves you, is the moment that you start to walk in the full will of God. Though it is your choice on whether or not you allow God to partner with you to complete His good and perfect will, please know that this is not a 50/50 relationship. It requires putting 100% of your trust in God to care for you. Once you understand what this looks like in your life, full submission to the Lord of everything that you are and everything that you have comes naturally. The only difference is that you now understand the glory of God, and with this understanding, it is up to you to determine if the words that you say and the actions that you take are going to be done according to God's will and not your own. We experience life to its intended degree when we sew according to the will of God. Some might say that this devotion requires too much from them, but as the Bible says, "Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow." James 1:17 So if every good thing in your life comes from the Father, you’re just giving Him back the rights to what He has already lent to you. And when you freely submit things like your finances, your heart, and your time; you receive not only the benefits, but also the God-intended interest(favor) on your investment. Though a life in pursuit of God's heart requires great discipline and sacrifice on our behalf, there is nothing sweeter than walking in full obedience to God's perfect will. In Psalms 139, David shows us how to apply this awareness of God's great love for us to our life. Tune in as I walk through how I applied that knowledge to my own life, and share with you action steps that you can take as well. "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." Psalms 139:23-24

While talking with my little brother who is currently in a season where he is struggling to remain in the will of God, we got onto the subject of childhood trauma or pain. It is often that when we find God, we start to encounter situations or circumstances that causes us to become aware of the hurt that we are holding onto. Though we serve a God that is tender and wishes to heal all the things that are unwell within us, we fear the pain of what the exposure will cost us. Maybe you aren’t in a place of where you would like to open up your heart into the Father, maybe there are factors in your current environment that are causing you to want to remain closed off from anything that will reveal to the enemy or others that you are weak. Can I encourage you in this moment, just as I did my little brother and tell you this…that God our father is waiting for you on the other side of your fear. So keep your head up, and your eyes on Him.
