She has been destined to build up, empower and set free women free from the power of darkness through Jesus Christ. She ministers a radically relevant message of salvation, deliverance and non-compromised truth from the word of God. She is a woman that earnestly perseveres to walk in the excellence of God, so that she may glorify the Lord in all she does. She has truly been "Called into This Time for God’s Purpose." She attributes all she is in Christ to the love, grace and mercy of God that continues to make all things possible in her life.
The "Seeds" Didn't Work!
I am here today only by the grace of God through Christ Jesus! After surviving years of sexual abuse, tormenting thoughts, and demonic attacks, I am still standing through Christ! Let it be known that WE HAVE a great God who is stronger, more powerful, more knowledgeable and more present than Satan. He is the "GREAT I AM" and "WE ARE" more than conquerors through Christ Jesus who loves us. I would like to personally invite you to follow my blog as I share on various topics which include but are not limited to discussions on why the destructive seeds did not AND will not work.
Why I am in love with Him . . .
The Ultimate Love Story . . .
Our heavenly Father sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins and if we believe and confess with our hearts and mouths, we will be saved by this ultimate sacrifice of love (John 3:16) I am grateful today that the Lord has directed you to this site to read a story of true recovery, redemption and restoration. The Lord continues to be gracious to me. He has not allowed Satan nor his imps to triumph over me and for that I am grateful. I can tell you my story because I no longer walk in fear of what the enemy will do to me. I remain alert and pray without ceasing, but the difference now is that I have peace in my spirit. Like many of us, you also have been purchased at a price that no person can afford. The question is, "Do you reflect your value?" I haven't always been able to answer this question with an astounding, "Yes," but now I can. My hope is that by the time you finish reading some of the pages from my journey to recovery, you will be empowered to think with a victorious mind, equipped to walk with confidence in our God and eased in your heart and mind about what appears to be larger than your God. Remember, He's bigger, stronger and able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us. Walk in Victory my friend.
