    The Holy Spirit whispered to me yesterday that ALL the pain that I walked through since before birth was Ordained by God to be my "University Degree". I endured so much pain, abandonment, and betrayal to be Equipped as a Vessel that can feel and have compassion on those God wants to reach / draw. He Chose me and made sure I had no family or friends so I could never fit on this planet. All the ostracism was to prepare me to do HIS Will and be sensitive to pain-filled people. Many religious counselors or secular psychologists attempt to find ways to get people healed so they can be fit for society. But God raises His Elect in a Way that does no coincide with the world. Being a 'misfit' or an 'outcast' is part of HIS Plan. His Children won't fit anywhere in society (including churches). His Elect are those who pass through without clinging to politics, ethnicity, country; they cannot be identified by anything on earth. His Ways are not man's ways; they have always been and will always be MUCH HIGHER and they include Eternity!!!

    If you're reading this, please pray for my friend Annie. She is a homeless, recovering addict. She has been through every type of pain you could imagine a person could go through. She has experienced loss, abuse, suicide attempts... And yet with Jesus, she has such a loving, strong heart. I have never met a woman like her. Please pray God will bring miracles into her life, and turn her situation around. I ask in Jesus name, Amen 🙏🏾

    I was laying on my bed listening and singing this song and I placed my hand on the part of my body where I was sick and I called the name of Jesus and I believed he could heal me, once and for good and He Did, The name of JESUS is really powerful, it's been given to us so that we may call his in front of any situation no matter how bad and big it seems, That name is above all....thank you Jesus.

    When God said you won't stop drinking,smoking, and partying, I'm going to put an end to it. Ib in the club bored. My stomach aches from drinking, and my chest beats from the smoking. Weed was my light god say no...I would be smoking and nothing happens. When god said you're too stubborn, I'll humble you. I felt like a crazy person. My whole life was changing without my consent. I refused countless times saying leave me alone" I don't want this. God said it's not up to you. My journey has been long ice, which endures many harsh lessons, but praise be to God, he never gave up on me. N today, I'm a child of God. Praise be to him

    I hope you are doing well! Just want you to know that I'm still praying for you. My sister won her custody battle right before Thanksgiving 2023! It was a long 2yrs and she had been so stressed and depressed! God brought her through this battle! She gave it to him and he showed up and showed out! Her daughter's father tried to bring his entire church congregation, along with the pastor to be character witnesses. He was exposed with embarrassing facts in front of his pastor and the congregation! He fell in the ditch that he dug for my sister! I just want you to know that God is in control, you just show up and God will do the rest! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
