Shame is one of the enemy’s most powerful weapons. It whispers: “You’re unworthy. You’re disqualified. You’ve gone too far this time.”

Some people treat prayer like a checklist. Others treat play like a distraction. But in God’s design, both are essential.

The enemy isn’t after your car, your house, or your bank account. Those are just distractions. What he really wants is your joy and your focus—because if he can steal those, everything else starts to unravel.

Authority in the Kingdom doesn’t come from titles, platforms, or charisma. It comes from revelation.

Walking with God is a journey of continual surrender. At the beginning, He may let you carry things—habits, relationships, old ways of thinking—that feel comfortable. But the farther you go, the more He asks you to lay down.

Most people think of fear and faith as polar opposites. As if fear is the dark and faith is the light. But fear isn’t the absence of faith. Fear is faith—it’s just misplaced.

How do you know God is with you?

Some look for goosebumps in worship. Others wait for dramatic miracles or answered prayers. But Scripture gives us a simple and powerful sign of His nearness: joy.

When we think of resurrection, we often picture dramatic, outward change—dead things coming to life, impossible situations turning around, breakthroughs we can see and touch.

 “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is coming soon, and my righteousness will be revealed.” — Isaiah 56:1 (NIV)

You thought following God’s leading in your life—whether in family, career, health, or business—would feel more… straightforward.
