Armies Lyrics
Dangers
Silence
Battle is my story
But Alone
I won’t know
Yeah
Yeah
That’s my glory
Shadows you will not hide me
I know my King will fight
The God of Angel armies
Is always by my side
Encouragement and Strengthening Your Faith While In Tough Times and Quarantine
When we see changes happen in the world and we’re at home during the Corona Virus / Covid19 quarantine it’s a perfect time for us to be love, to walk in faith, to reach out to one another by maybe helping a neighbor in need (after you’ve washed your hands of course) & to have empathy & God’s outlook. Hint: God’s perspective doesn’t look like what the news or social media shows you.
When you have a relationship with God you can have a stability when the world shakes & know who is sovereign no matter what happens & God can give you prophetic insight about the times & seasons. He asks us to love one another & to pray because prayer tears down what darkness tries to use to harm and cripple people with fear and dis-ease. Pray for an end to the virus & any other issues going on that He puts on your heart, pray for leaders to have heavenly solutions. Pray to have perfect peace in the storm because God offers that to us so that fear doesn’t grip us.
It’s important to be prepared especially in the season we live & to take precaution with wisdom (like social distancing to care for your neighbor who may have a compromised immune system) but don’t let despair get you down. Fear causes people to panic & act in ways that that are not God’s intention. Faith allows you to see above the storm & even see how God is working for good within circumstances that the enemy intended for evil.
Connect with your family & with God during the time you may have at home (the school I work at is closed for now so I’m praying for all of those parents and teachers & for people everywhere whose jobs are on hold or have been lost).
Revival starts individually & I truly believe revival starts w/ family – & when the body of Christ realizes that they’re a family meant to work together to walk with authority like Jesus & tear down darkness. Our faith is tested- do we believe what God said in His Word or will we look to the world for answers when God wants to give us answers? Take dominion by walking in your purpose while you’re taking time to rest & reconnect with your loved ones. We’re in this together family.
“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord is an everlasting rock.” Isaiah 26:3-4
Music Pick: Purpose Over Pleasure from Jonathan Traylor
Purpose Over Pleasure from Jonathan Traylor is the perfect theme song for you to embrace as you’re living out your calling and growing closer to God. I first heard the song when Jonathan led worship at Christ for the Nations a few years back and loved the message – that we don’t have time for shenanigans because we’ve got to get serious with living for God and eternity – plus the song is just real catchy and dance-able.

Dream with God: He Can Do More Than We Can Dream or Imagine Ephesians 3:20
Dream, create and build with God – He has the most wondrous ideas and has solutions to our and the world’s needs. He helps us see life through hope so we can partner with Him to bring light in darkness. He also helps us to trailblaze new paths so the world can become richer because of His wisdom and power working through us.
When we dream on our own we’re limited to our own finite human thinking but with Christ we have infinite even supernatural possibilities and can do all things. I’ve experienced in my life miracles that I could not have come up with on my own when I spent time with God seeking Him.
“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” From Ephesians 3
When the World Is Dark Rise Up and Be the Light
When we see darkness in the world be the light and speak life. Let love and purpose be your motivation to bring hope to the people you’re meant to impact. Keep creating & making the world more beautiful. Never fall into the trap of racism, of hatred, of being the darkness that causes destruction or of apathy thinking you can’t make a difference but be the light that leads others to solutions, hope and a greater Truth.
Ever since I was younger God has put in my heart the importance of knowing the time we live in. One day He said to me in visions, “Jesus is coming back” and He put an urgency in my heart for my purpose. My question is do we believers live like we believe that? Do we see signs that line up with what’s in the Bible? Do we look away to fit in with culture or focus on just being content for ourselves?
What He’s reminded me of for years is the importance of having our lamps full of oil in intimacy like the wise virgins in Matthew 25 so that we know how to stand when the world shakes – nah to intervene before it shakes – & how to be the revival to lead others to Him. Our unity & being one is a major beat on His heart – one of my professors Will Ford III founder of 818 The Sign a powerful prophetic gathering says “a united church can heal a divided nation.” Together we are stronger & have solutions to transform the world & to demonstrate true family and reconciliation to those around us. This is not a message you see all the time – some may call it weird or “too serious” but it’s oh so important & a call God has put on my life. I think it’s a joy to walk differently – it’s kind of like being the Avengers 💁🏾♀️ or something – walking in your purpose, and connecting with God & Kingdom family is your superpower – you’ve got what no one else has. It’s about knowing who we are and that our hope is in a greater Leader and 👑 Kingdom. You can take part in the greatest story ever told, better than any movie.🎥 Let us share good news & light the world.🔥
