Get Up

Let me share this again …

I don’t know who lied to you, broke you, damaged you, took advantage of you, hurt you, left or walked away from you … but doggone it, it’s time you healed. Yes, the divorce hurt. Yes, their death stung. Yes, you didn’t think they’d be the ones to do this to you. Yes, I know it hurts but you’ve got to come to terms with it and get up. It may not be today, but you have to get up or you might not survive.

Get up, even through tears.
Get up, even if they’ve yet to apologize.
Get up, even if you still have questions.
Get up, even if you’re still hurt.
Get up, and forgive them.
Get up, and forgive you.

I put a comma after get up because I need you to get up, pause, and then take action. Baby, they may have down all the things listed above and then some. They may have tried to tamper with your joy, peace, and mind, but you’re reading this. That means you’re alive, and can see, read, and comprehend. And because you have life, you also have hope! Pause then take action. Get up and take your life back!

You survived them, now survive you! 💚

God is doing a new thing

I’m 2019, God gave me a vision.

I sat on it.
I wasn’t ready for it.
I talked myself out of it.
I didn’t believe what I heard God say.

Who am I to find myself worthy of this?

Oh, but now. Now, I’m standing tall in my faith, believing God for what He’s spoken. Therefore, with God’s authority and anointing, the prayers, and release of my pastor, Larry Rucker, the support of my husband Willie Johnson, my family and my brother Bishop Kevin Brian Willis Sr. … I can officially announce

We’re planting a church!!

Temple Church in February, 2024.

Launch meetings coming soon!

Play Dumb

I don’t know who this is for but … “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” (Exodus 14:14)

Hold your peace, brother.
Hold your peace, sister.

Peace, (ḥāraš) means to be silent or keep quiet. It also means be dumb, be speechless, or be deaf.

In other words, let them tell the story, let them come against you, let them try while you play dumb, and be quiet because God has this AND you!

Sit this one out!

To Have and To Hold: What Did You Vow?

Sydney Garcia is an unmarried 37-year-old, whose mother won’t let her forget it. Each day she’s reminded of the fact, “You’re not getting any younger, hija.”

But Sydney has had her fair share of failed relationships and isn’t willing to settle. So, when she reluctantly attends her 20th class reunion and meets Raymond Richardson, she takes a chance on falling in love again.

Things move quickly even after a temporary snag.

At the altar, they vow, “to have and to hold.” Until the day after their first wedding anniversary when Sydney finds out Raymond’s meaning of the vow is nothing like she imagined.

In Book 1 of the What Did You Vow Mini-Series, find out how Sydney’s life changes and if it’ll end with her keeping the vow… to death do us part.

Happy Reading 💚

Stand YOUR Ground

I re-share this every year because I simply need to encourage somebody today. You who’s looking at your situation and the enemy is wanting you to believe you made the wrong choice. You’re staring at the current condition of your life and the enemy is beckoning you to throw in the towel. You’re facing a hardship and the enemy is tricking you into believing God doesn’t care about you. LIES … STAND YOUR GROUND!

Maybe you’ve faced a loss, the enemy is attacking everything, started a new job and your car broke down, your account is in the negative and just got paid, more sick days than well, more tears than you thought you could cry, more bills than money or maybe you’re at the edge of giving up and it’s looking tempting. No baby, don’t you dare move. STAND YOUR GROUND!

You can even be good financially, healthy, and wise, and your family doing alright and the enemy is still messing with you. Depression, you thought was managed, hit you in the gut. Brokenness, you thought was gone, came back with a vengeance. Self-doubt and fear, which you thought was under control has you crying in the car.

Beloved, STAND YOUR GROUND!

What does this mean? You have the RIGHT to defend yourself and your ground with lethal force if need be. See, the enemy is after your ground because if you have no ground, you have nowhere to plant and nowhere to plant = no harvest. And, if he takes your land, he’ll come after your life next.

Bible says in 1 Peter 5:8-10, “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are. In his kindness, God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. (Here’s where you shout –>) So after you have suffered a little while, He (God) will restore, support, and strengthen you, and He (God) will place you on a firm foundation.”

Mane, you ain’t giving up. Naw, get up, pray then eat because you’re going to need your strength to recover, stand, fight, and win.

I love you, for real 💚
