Pray first and March 2nd. 😅 A bit flakey I know, but I love the Month of March. So many commands. In fact I want to invite you to consider a few thoughts I am going to share here. “Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6) is more than an invitation this is a heavenly holy urgent appeal. Life moves quickly, and while we assume we will always have tomorrow, none of us truly know how many tomorrows are left. We take moments for granted, we take people for granted, and sometimes we even take God’s grace for granted. But the gentle nudge you feel, the quiet pull on your heart, the subtle conviction in your spirit please don’t continue to ignore. These are signs that God is drawing you. He is not distant or aloof. He is not hiding from you. He is present, near, and waiting for you to respond. When you don’t know how much time you have, you don’t know how much time you can afford to waste. Beloved, choosing Jesus Christ in fullness, is the greatest decision you will ever make, and the only one that carries eternal weight. God will not force Himself on you; He invites you; He calls you, but the choice is ultimately yours. Today, right now, is an opportunity heaven has placed in front of you. Obey the Lord’s prompting. Turn your heart, your attention, your uncertainty fully toward Him. You never know who is following you, and leading anyone down the path of uncertainty is dangerous. Lay aside every distraction and excuse and give God your total yes while the door of mercy is still wide open. He stands ready to forgive, to restore, to embrace, and to lead you into the life He designed for you. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple (Psalm 27:4). Don’t wait. Choose Him today. Not only is his house available to you, but he would also love to be invited into yours!

Grace and Peace be unto you beloved. There are moments in this walk of faith when the Holy Spirit gently puts His finger on things in our lives, not because they are outright sin, but because they have become weights with a devastating potential. Hebrews 12:1 calls us to “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us.” Some things slow us down long before they ever pull us into disobedience. A weight can be a habit, a thought pattern, a lack of inconsistency, a relationship, a distraction, or even a good thing that has grown out of balance. The Lord reveals weights not to condemn us, but to sharpen our discernment and maintain our freedom in Him. He knows that anything we continue to carry that He never assigned to our lives will eventually drain strength, blur vision, and open the door for temptation. Laying aside weights is an act of love toward Him and an act of protection toward our own souls. Beloved, this is the hour to hold fast to the steadfastness of your faith. Our enemy doesn’t always attack by storms. Sometimes he attacks by subtle accumulation. A little compromise here, a small distraction there, and suddenly the spirit becomes cluttered entrances of fatigue that we do not even notice when our defenses had become compromised. But the Spirit of God is calling His people back to intentional purity. When you willingly release the weights, you build a fortress against future snares. When you guard your heart, discipline your mind, and align your life with the Word of God, you stand firm against every strategy of the adversary. Stay steadfast. Stay watchful. Stay surrendered. What you lay down today becomes the strength you stand in tomorrow.

At Bible Study on Wednesday, this verse was spoken and it was so powerful and really spoke volumes to me as a believer. I was encouraged so I hope it encourages someone else! Luke 10:19 is not just a promise beloved it is a divine commissioning. When Jesus declares, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy,” He is not offering casual encouragement; He is granting jurisdiction, authority, and spiritual dominion. This is apostolic language that Jesus is delegating His own victorious authority to His disciples and this has nothing to do with a denomination. Prophetically, this means you are not fighting for victory but from the place of victory. You are not contending as one who is threatened, but as one who has already been enthroned with Christ in heavenly places. The weight of this verse reminds you that spiritual warfare is not fought on earth’s terms but from heaven’s vantage point. You tread because Christ triumphed. You overcome because He has already disarmed principalities. Your assignment is not fragile; it is fortified by divine decree. The use of serpents and scorpions carries deep spiritual significance because they are not random animals but biblical symbols of demonic strategy. The serpent represents deception, seduction, and counterfeit wisdom, echoing the garden of Eden. The scorpion represents sting, torment, and hidden attacks, often linked to spiritual assault and psychic pressure. Jesus intentionally uses these creatures to reveal that the authority He grants is not vague it is targeted. He is empowering you to walk over the very forms of evil that seek to infiltrate your mind, distort your discernment, and attack your peace. Prophetically, this means every subtle lie, every hidden attack, every scheme formed in darkness is already beneath your feet. Apostolically, it means you are commissioned to occupy, govern, and enforce the victory Christ secured. Walk boldly, because the One who sent you has given you authority over anything designed to entangle, deceive, or afflict you.

WHEN GOD USES YOUR WOUND AS YOUR WEAPON How Anxiety, Depression, and Emotional Storms Become Catalysts for Apostolic Strength and Prophetic Clarity This is written to equip mature believers to understand the spiritual mechanics of suffering, emotional storms, and divine formation. We are delving into the paradox of KINGDOM WEAPONS. Now in this natural world, wounds weaken. But in the Kingdom, wounds forge weapons. In the natural world, storms disrupt, but in the Kingdom, storms develop discernment. In the natural world, anxiety and depression are signals of collapse, but in the Kingdom, they often signal transition, recalibration, and prophetic upgrading. God never wastes pain and He will never ignore emotional storms. While the latter is true please know that He never anoints unprocessed trauma, God is so wise that He transforms wounds into weapons and storms into strategy. THE ANATOMY OF THE PERFECT STORM Many believers misinterpret anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, or mental battles as spiritual failure but biblically, the perfect storm has three characteristics: The Storm Reveals What Peace Has Hidden Mark 4:37–40 (KJV)A great storm arises—not to destroy the disciples but to reveal: - Their fear - Their unbelief - Their immature perception of Jesus Storms expose what silence conceals. The Storm Surfaces Unhealed Wounds Storms bring to the surface: - Old traumas - Abandoned memories - Silent anxieties - Hidden insecurities - Generational patterns Why? Because you cannot confront what you refuse to acknowledge. The Storm Positions You for Divine Intervention Jesus doesn’t calm storms too soon but only at maximum impact. Why? Because the storm becomes: - A classroom - A laboratory - A deliverance chamber - A prophetic training ground The perfect storm is not demonic it is developmental. ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION AS SPIRITUAL SIGNALS (NOT SPIRITUAL FAILURE) I do NOT view Anxiety and depression as Sins, I truly believe they signals.

1 Corinthians 4:6 Revised Standard Version 6 - I have applied all this to myself and Apol′los for your benefit, brethren, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.
