We often make the mistake of thinking God has ignored our prayers because our circumstances have not changed. Very often this is not the case and if we stop, be still and look closely we see how God is changing us. We notice changes that went unnoticed under the noise of our complaining and accusing God of ignoring us. Trust God to show us what needs to be changed so that the situation changes in His timing for our lives. This may be a season of change for you, but remember, seasons change.

Christ to command all that oppresses and attacks our mind, body and lives to leave! The enemy loves to make us feel worthless, useless and purposeless. He loves to fill our minds and thoughts with doubt and fear. Rebuke these negative spirits in Jesus Christ's Holy Name and be set free. He has given us this power because we have faith and believe in Him. Use the authority He has given you!

The enemy loves to keep harping on our past in order to make us feel guilt, shame and pain. Once we have given our lives into the hands of the Lord, repented and sincerely change our ways, God forgives and remembers our sins no more. Don't let the enemy fool you into believing otherwise.

In scripture we see it is evident there was no human who was liked & loved all the time. Jesus was rejected by His own people. It's okay to make peace with the fact that you're not going to like everyone all the time. However, this is not an invitation to gossip, slander or abuse the ones we don't resonate with. Bless them as the Lord blessed His enemies. When we bless them they cannot accuse us. Bless them when they gossip about you! The Lord sees & hears them. Let Him deal with them.

When we truly trust God and stand on the promises He has made to us, one being that He is our strength, salvation, protection and provider, then we can resist the enemy's spirit of fear used to paralyze us. True faith in God means fearlessly trusting He's in control and will turn all bad into good. He is the God of Goodness and is good and faithful to the ones who love Him.

Sometimes it's hard to walk by the Lord's example. This is why we need to lean on God & ask Him to help us mature as we grow in His Word. A strong relationship with God changes us in very tangible & noticeable ways. Actions speak louder than words. Let God animate your actions. Remember, we can say no to situations. It's how we do it that counts. Act with patience & lead by example. If you fail on some days in this, ask God to pick you up & continue teaching you His ways as you mature and heal.

that You are ALL we need to trust in because You have prepared for us more than we could ever imagine. You are the God of Goodness, You are Faithful and You always do what You say. You are trustworthy! Thank you Abba Father for loving me so much and forgive me, please, for the times my faith in You falters. Lift my spirit so that I may be firmly rooted in my faith and trust in You! I love you!

like giant mountains and we don't know how we're going to get through the day. In these moments we may react out of fear rather than what God is instructing us to do. When you're confused about what to do in these moments, say this prayer out loud and trust Him to show and lead you. Be still until you sense the Lord ushering you forward or to act.

the Holy Spirit of God, His Spirit of Truth. We are blessed to know that there are faithful believers who are praying for us when we can't pray for ourselves. Trust that the Lord's prayer warriors have you in mind when they pray for all the children of God. You are a child of God and the prayers of His faithful ones are answered. Trust God to get you through whatever you are facing. He is greater than any issue you are dealing with. Stand on this truth and believe in the power of prayer.

you are destined for the greatness God created you for. You were created with a purpose and God WANTS you to see His purpose for you fulfilled. Ask Him to place your feet in the shoes He made for you to walk in. Don't let a set-back stop you. God in us is far greater than any mountain outside of us that we may be challenged by. Don't let the enemy stop you from being an instrument God can use to expand His Kingdom and act through you to bring healing and joy to those you are destined to in Him.

everyday. We live in a world controlled by the eternal enemy of God who wants to see us stumble, fall and fail. We need the Lord and there is power in admitting this to ourselves and asking Him to go before us and make straight the crooked path. Ask God to hide you from the enemy under His wings of protection and don't give Satan the time of day to pollute your mind and heart with his lies. He was a murderer from the beginning and God will make him pay for everything he has done to us! Assured!

get into spiritual shape for 2020!

REGISTER FOR OUR UPCOMING ONLINE WORKSHOPS DURING OCTOBER, NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2019 & RESHAPE YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE & FOCUS FOR 2020

October and November can be a challenging and overwhelming time of the year preparing for festivities and holidays which usually involve overspending, overeating and generally overdoing most of everything and not feeling very good about it at the end of it all. December is certainly not a time of rest for many of us. Personally, I dread the end of the year for this reason. Everyone seems to be on holiday except me. Sound familiar? I have started many a new year feeling like I need a holiday to get over the holidays! I've often wished I had a blueprint I could follow any time and any day of the year to make sure that when these seasons of festivities and holidays come around I don't lose my mind, my sweetness and morph into a bitter old bat!

Enter January, which is when we realize, for a number of reasons as we commit to new year's resolutions, or to not having them, not much of what we set out to do in the previous year was achieved. This can lead to depression and feeling frustrated and often worthless as we wish for a better year ahead. Things don't look or feel very sweet and we often feel the bitter bite of reality. For some, this might be the state of your reality any month of the year. I must admit this relates to me. Every month of the year has brought many different issues to deal with, but nothing like my recent boot camp experience. I found myself in a deep state of questioning my faith and ability to work as a teacher and group leader, especially when it seemed I was not able to "walk the talk" myself. I found myself paralyzed by frustration and feelings of worthlessness and purposelessness. It felt like God was not listening or speaking to me and that I had missed something huge because it seemed as if I'd gotten things so very wrong. Read further.

Women face many challenges daily as we take care of business -family, relationships, work and ourselves. Life is a business. Our spirit and soul often feel dried up by the expectations we place upon ourselves and by the demands made by the people around us. Too often the lack of a spiritual connection or confusion regarding our spiritual lives can leave us feeling empty, overwhelmed and alone. We yearn for support, comfort, guidance and sisterhood and often end up expecting it from people rather than from the Creator of our spirit and soul.

Restoring our spiritual core becomes the centre of our breakthrough allowing God to sustain our souls, reform and transform us. God is not a religion, He is our Creator and wants us to rest in Him and allow His peace to fill and sustain us. I have been through all of the above and have found the comfort, support and guidance in God. Although things get rough at times, I have experienced and learnt enough to be in a position where I am willing to walk this path with you and with God's help, lead you to your spiritual core where He can renovate the home of your spirit, soul and life. Whether you are a business leader or simply getting on with the business of life, striving to lead the best life you can, be the best mom, friend, and spouse, we need the spiritual guidance of the One who created us. By standing on God's promises together we can breakthrough the barriers of deception, fear and disappointment and rise again, filled with God's love by truly knowing Him and His purpose and plan for our lives. If this describes you, let's talk.

Sometimes, no matter how much we know, we still need a helping hand!

We live with ourselves every day and often don't see the stumbling blocks before us. At other times we do see them but feel blocked and directionless with little to no idea how to get out of our slump and deal with our feelings. Sometimes a creativity drought or simply the overwhelming demands of modern life can get the better of us and we need someone to listen and give us some wise Holy Spirit filled perspective. Being spiritually healthy doesn't mean we don't have down seasons and need a helping hand to walk with us as we regroup and reconnect with what's important. Sometimes these seasons of change are God's way of reshaping our mind, heart and future, which is when the support of a wise friend becomes invaluable. Sean Manders runs a 9-week Mental Awareness coaching programme that helps you develop the mindset, mental fortitude and psychology to reconnect with life, handle today's stress and manage your personal relationships.
