Now that my youngest daughter is out of school, her transition into summer time activities has been pretty nostalgic for me. Walking her into Vacation Bible School at my former church and camp held at my old elementary school has flooded me with memories, some good, some not so good. Right now, The Lord is […]

As I study more and more about the process of deliverance from strongholds, I’m learning so many simple yet profound things regarding my own process. Is it possible to be delivered from a stronghold but yet still behave like a slave? I’ll give you a BIG and HEARTY YES! As I was in devotion, The […]
“Our Biggest Fight: Dying To Self & Christ’s Desire To Be First” Part 13
I’m coming to understand that in my fight to overcome, the ultimate goal and fight The Lord has with his people, with me, is our inability to give Him “First Place” in our existence, over every facet of our lives. It’s in my own fight to overcome my struggles, in my own rebellion or inability […]
“Our Biggest Fight: Dying To Self & The Mandate of Your Calling” Part 12
Hands down, transforming my body has been one of the toughest battles of my entire life. It’s been more than just losing weight, it’s been a spiritual fight of not just taking back my body, but my mind, my heart, my soul and fighting for ground the enemy stole from me. It’s not just about […]

I heard a quote the other day and basically, it summed up my entire physical transformation experience and why I won’t give up, “When you feel like quitting, remember WHY you got started!” It’s the WHY, the origin behind any great challenge that keeps you motivated to ride that storm out until the end. For me, it was […]

As I was working out at the gym on Tuesday, The Lord lead me to listen to a YouTube video by Apostle Guillermo Maldonado called “A Vow Of Consecration To God.” As I listened, I felt The Lord pricking my heart and I knew once I was finished with my workout, He was calling me to […]
“Our Biggest Fight: Surrendering, Dying & Saying YES to Jesus” Part 9
If I had to sum up and describe my Christian journey with the Lord, I’d describe it in six words: a continuous state of “Surrendering, Dying & Saying Yes to Jesus.” Without our consent, surrender and declaring yes to Jesus, we can’t do anything effective for the Kingdom. Without our surrender to The Lord, we […]
“Our Biggest Fight: Dying To Self, Accepting Setbacks & Learning To Die Again” Part 8
Since the year has started, I’ve been facing some harsh realities. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to overcome something, there’ll always, and I mean always be setbacks.
