The Secret Place

So I got his revelation during Transformation Church's week of prayer and fasting. We were praying from a set of verses when I realized they all built upon each other. They all described how faith worked. Faith is such a simple concept, though it's not easy, at all. Most of the Bible is simple, yet not easy. This post will be more of a teaching than all the others have been thus far. I'm going to try and explain my revelation, as effectively and efficiently as I can. Alright, let's go. Growing up one of the most quoted verses I heard was "all things are possible to him who believes" [Mark 9:23]. Growing up in the Word of Faith denomiation meant that the promises in the Bible were and are the things we clung to. I grew up learning that if it is a promise in the Bible, it is your right as a believer to see that manifested in your life. I still believe that. However, the most challenging part of that idea is having full confidence in those promises, especially if...

  Y'all - I know it’s been a minute but MAN have I got something to share. This has been building for a little, but exploded in my heart today! Ima be very transparent in this post lol - H.O.T. (Humble. Open. Transparent.) So I didn't realize, fully, until today that I have been in a wilderness season. Just disappointment after disappointment, things going wrong left and right and just tryna navigate lol. So, yesterday, I was praying and I heard the Lord say something to me about the direction for my life. To be honest, I questioned it because well... I hadn't been connected to Him the few weeks prior. Basically He said to me in my doubt "You don't have to prove your worth in order to hear my voice. My children hear my voice, if they are listening. You are listening, so you don't have to prove yourself to trust that I am and will speak to you"  He's not gonna give us the silent treatment or go ghost, because we messed up.  Talk about toxic thinking bei...

 A few weeks ago, I met with a friend, and she dropped a deep revelation on me. We were talking about how the grace and kindness of God should not cause you to want to sin more but should lead you to repentance, causing you to live a holy life. She challenged me with the idea that "it's the Mercy of God that people need to experience.” That got me thinking about mercy. Quite frankly, I have never heard anyone preach about it. Nor have I really heard the term mercy in conversation. If I am honest, I thought it was another term for grace. Man, was I mistaken. Mercy is when you have no other choice but for God to save you. When you have gotten to the end of yourself to the point where it is either death, (emotionally, spiritually, or mentally) or the mercy of God steps in to let you see another day. Experiencing and understanding the mercy of God is what leads to living a holy life. I think, often, we Christians put so much emphasis on the idea that "grace covers a multitude...

Take two? Yes, take two. This will be the second time I have felt the desire to start something like this. The inital time was during 2020 when well everyone was trying new things. We were at the height of racial tension, and life had just been "flipped-turned upside down." I, like many, had some stuff to say. But, as most did with the things they picked up during quarantine, I put this to the side and continued in the "normalcy" that we eventually got back too. This time tho, it is different. Well, actually, no, not really. Both times, I believe they were directives from the Lord, only this time I will follow through lol. So yes, this time is different! This time, instead of hoping the outside world will give me things to share my perspective on, I will allow God to give me things, From The Sacred Place, to share my perspective on. My goal with this blog is to write about  things I am learning through life. The Lord is constantly speaking and sharing secrets of the...

What can we do? What is our part? That is something I have been asking myself since the murder of George Flyod. And to be honest I’m not even just talking about Black Lives Matter because it is bigger than that. I am talking about the country as a whole. This nation, the people in this nation, the poor, broken, outcast, the communities of people who are hurting and helpless. What can we do? What can I do?  This week I was on the phone with my grandma and she was talking about what we as the body of Christ should be doing but haven’t been doing. We gave up our responsibility to “Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked” - Psalms 82:3-4. With the way the world is today we have to step up, join together and put our hands and feet on the ground because that is what we have been instructed to do. It is all throughout the Bible. We let this nations marginalized people su...

I have been thinking a lot about how we as believers are supposed to  exist in this world. In a world of chaos and turmoil. In a world of hate and bigotry. In a world full of compromise and deceit. I believe we as believers are supposed to be yielded to what the Bible, The Word of God, has to say. We are supposed to be as Christlike as possible. We are supposed to be men and women after Gods own heart, just like David was. Before this most recent event of injustice that stuck our world, George Floyd’s Murder, God told me to study David, how he worshiped God and became established in his dependency on Him. So I went to 1 Samuel 16 and started reading about the life of David. Much to my surprise there was not much in there that talked about his worship or really time with God other than things like “and God was with David” and general terms to describe the life of someone who was dependent and dedicated to God, but no specifics. So about a month ago I realized God was talking about...
