When it comes to the brokenness seen in many toxic relationships, including a chaotic marriage, the road to freedom and restoration is often a process. Just as hurt and pain usually develop over a period of time, recovery and healing also tend to follow a progressive journey back toward stability. Here are four  prescriptive steps  that may offer some guidance, especially if you find yourself at the threshold of change… ready and hopeful that God has a better plan for the future. Step 1 – Recognize and Admit :  The Role of Confession and Breaking the Power of Your Secret The first thing you must be willing to do is face yourself and do so with courageous, but brutal honesty—to say, “This may be about me, not the other person. I recognize and admit that I have a problem. In fact, I may be the problem. What do I need to do differently?” We often carry the “secret” of our struggle for years and the only thing we experience is the growing power it has over ev...

You have a right to believe God for anything He has promised in His Word. The Word says in  Psalm 127:3 , “Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” Psalm 84:11  says, “…no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.” Also,  Psalm 113:9  says, “He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children.”  Exodus 23:26  in  The Amplified Bible  states, “None shall lose her young by miscarriage or be barren in your land….” Besides focusing on these scriptures, remember also that God is no respecter of persons ( Acts 10:34 ). What He did for Hannah in  1 Samuel 1 , He’ll do for you. These are truths that John and Marty Copeland learned to apply when believing for the conception of their first child. Their daughter Courtney Mercer Copeland became the seventh grandchild of Kenneth and Gloria Copeland because of the walk of faith in her parents’ lives. They lea...

One of my most  favorite men in the Bible is Joseph. I love Joseph because he demonstrated great faith in the midst of great trials and hardships on the road to his purpose. There is a lot that can be learned about the process of living out your purpose through Joseph’s story. I want to share with you a few of those lessons which you can easily apply to your own life as you strive to live out your God-given purpose:  1.  Avoid sharing your vision with everyone. One key thing that can be taken from Joseph’s story is the importance of safeguarding your purpose. Even though you would like everyone to be happy for you, the truth is not everyone wants to see you succeed.  Many times if you are not careful, the enemy will use those closest to you to discourage you and distract you from what God has called you to do. Seek Godly counsel to share your vision with so that you can receive encouragement and directions on how to move forward. 2.  Keep y...

Dear Single Ladies, In a world where a date can be set-up at the drive through pace of social media, we must use wisdom as a virtue and God’s word as our guide. A ship will be lost without a navigational system and if we are going out in the dating world, without God as our compass, then we too will end up lost. That is why walking in wisdom of His word, as women of the word is essential. Living our lives as Proverbs 31 women, lets us set the precedence of who we are in Christ, and how we allow ourselves to be treated by others. When we know our value is in the Lord, we can carry ourselves with His integrity. In  Proverbs 8:11 , it says that, ‘Wisdom is more precious than rubies and nothing you desire can compare with her’. The truth is someone’s true character is revealed over time, and time is not of the essence when it comes to Christian dating. It is better to ‘wait and watch’ than ‘hurry and scurry’ later. Recently, God has been teaching me just that. This wee...

There is however, a man who is perfect for  you . The one God has selected for you. When you look at your list of desired qualities, a few of them should jump out at you as non-negotiables. These are the things that you shouldn’t bend or compromise on. Whatever your must haves are, if he’s the one, you won’t have to compromise your non-negotiables or ever feel like you’re settling. Whatever it is that you desire, pray about it, and let God send you the one He has for you. Single-Saved ladies, If you’re at a crossroad in your relationship and you’re not sure if he’s God sent, here are 6 Ways To Tell If He’s The One For You: 1. His Faith He shares the same passion for Christ as you. You’re not unequally yoked. When it comes to your relationship, God is first. He respects your mora...
