Living in survival is one of the most overlooked realities in the Christian walk. We celebrate deliverance, but rarely talk about the process of learning how to live abundantly afterward. A person can truly love Jesus and still live in survival instead of abundance. I did. Just trying to get through the day without even realizing it. Carrying pressure constantly. Living one day at a time. Fear becoming familiar. Struggling to fully rest. Not because I wasn’t saved. Not becaus

Sometimes we walk away from places, assignments, relationships, or seasons because of disappointment, frustration, confusion, or circumstances around us. At the time, it can feel like the right thing to do. We move on, convinced we’re following wisdom, protecting our hearts, or responding to what is happening around us. But sometimes, after prayer and reflection, we realize something important: God never told us to leave. That doesn’t mean there weren’t real issues. It doesn’

What do we do when someone is hurting? Do we listen? Do we pray? Do we cast it out? Do we tell them to renew their mind? Do we tell them to forgive? Do we tell them to be grateful? Do we tell them to put the Word on it? How much of the way we minister comes from the Holy Spirit and how much comes from habit.

Not the absence of a battle, but the presence of God in the middle of it. The battle may knock, but it doesn’t have to move in. Th

I was listening to a teaching on healing recently, and it got me thinking. Not because I agreed with every conclusion. But because it forced me back into Scripture. The longer I walk with God, the less interested I become in formulas. Humans seem to love them. If you’re not healed, you must have unbelief. If you’re struggling, there must be a demon. If you’re depressed, it must be sin. If you’re anxious, you need medication. If you’re grieving, you need more faith. If you’re

When I used to hear the word holiness, I heard: Haughtiness. Rules. Religion. Performance. Outside appearance. I heard: Don’t mess up. Don’t fail. Don’t look wrong. Don’t struggle. Don’t be human. And honestly? That pushed me away more than it pulled me in. Because I already knew brokenness. I already knew failure. I already knew shame. I didn’t need more condemnation. But the more I study the Word of God, the more I’m realizing holiness was never supposed to produce pride. I
