  • The Armor of God: Equipping Your Soul for the Spiritual Battle Ahead

    In our daily lives, we face battles of all kinds—emotional struggles, temptations, doubts, and spiritual warfare. These battles may not always be visible, but they are very real. The end times are drawing near, and the need for believers to be spiritually equipped has never been greater.

    The apostle Paul gives us an incredible reminder in Ephesians 6:10-18, where he encourages us to put on the full armor of God. This armor is not just for physical battles but for the unseen spiritual challenges we face in our walk with Christ.

    The Armor of God: What It Means for Us Today In Ephesians 6, Paul outlines six pieces of spiritual armor: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. These pieces are more than just metaphorical—they are practical tools that protect and strengthen our soul in times of spiritual battle.

    • Belt of Truth: Truth is the foundation of our faith. In a world filled with lies and distractions, it’s crucial to know the truth of God’s Word and hold onto it.
    • Breastplate of Righteousness: Our righteousness comes from Christ, not our own works. His righteousness protects our hearts from the condemnation of sin.
    • Shoes of Peace: We are called to spread the gospel of peace. When we walk in peace, we are better able to share God’s love with others and face challenges with calm assurance.
    • Shield of Faith: Faith is our defense against the attacks of the enemy. With faith, we can extinguish the fiery darts of doubt and fear.
    • Helmet of Salvation: Our salvation in Christ guards our minds, reminding us that we are secure in Him, no matter what we face.
    • Sword of the Spirit: The Word of God is our offensive weapon. Jesus Himself used Scripture to resist temptation, and we are called to do the same.

    A Prayer for Spiritual Strength: Heavenly Father, I thank You for equipping me with Your armor. Help me to wear it daily, that I may stand firm in my faith and fight against the spiritual battles I face. Strengthen my heart, mind, and soul, that I may walk in Your truth and righteousness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    Encouragement for Today As we move closer to the end times, we must be vigilant and prepared. The armor of God is not optional—it’s essential. Take a moment today to reflect on each piece of armor and ask God to strengthen you in these areas.

  • Finding Strength in Seasons of Weakness: Trusting God When You Feel Overwhelmed

    Life’s challenges can leave us feeling weak, inadequate, and unsure of how to move forward. But the truth is, our moments of greatest weakness can also become the moments when God’s power shines brightest in our lives.

    The Apostle Paul reminds us of this in 2 Corinthians 12:9–10:

    “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

    In a world that tells us to “stay strong” and handle everything on our own, this scripture flips the script: it’s okay to be weak, because God’s strength fills the gaps where we fall short.

    When Weakness Feels Overwhelming

    Maybe you’re facing a situation that feels impossible—a financial struggle, a health issue, or an emotional weight you can’t seem to shake. It’s easy to feel like giving up when our efforts don’t seem to be enough.

    But here’s the beautiful truth: we were never meant to carry life’s burdens alone.

    • God invites us to lean on Him, to admit that we’re struggling, and to let His grace sustain us.
    • Psalm 34:17–18 says, “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

    God’s Power in Your Weakness

    When we surrender our struggles to God, He doesn’t just leave us to figure things out on our own. Instead, He steps in with His strength, His wisdom, and His peace.

    Here are three ways God strengthens us in our weakest moments:

    1. He Gives Us His Peace:
      • Philippians 4:7 promises that God’s peace “transcends all understanding” and will guard our hearts and minds.
      • Even when the situation doesn’t change immediately, God’s peace gives us the strength to endure.
    2. He Provides Through His Word:
      • When we immerse ourselves in scripture, we find reminders of God’s promises. Verses like Isaiah 41:10 remind us: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you.”
    3. He Surrounds Us with Support:
      • God often works through people—whether it’s a friend who checks in, a sermon that speaks directly to your heart, or a random act of kindness.

    Encouragement for Today

    If you’re feeling weak today, take heart in knowing that God’s grace is sufficient. You don’t need to have it all together—you just need to trust the One who does.

    Spend time in prayer and ask God to meet you in your weakness. Open your Bible and let His Word remind you of His faithfulness. And most importantly, don’t give up—your strength comes from Him.

    Reflection Question:
    What area of your life do you need God’s strength the most right now? Take a moment to bring it before Him in prayer.

  • is Hell Real? Let’s Talk About it

    is Hell Real? Let’s Talk About it

    Before we dive into the topic of Hell, I want to give some context about my journey and where my dreams and visions come from, especially for those of you who are new here. I come from a lineage of seers. My mother, who was not only a pastor but also a powerful prophetess and seer, had an extraordinary gift. From a young age, she was chosen by God to receive visions of the past, present, and future. I grew up under her guidance, learning from her wisdom, and she prepared me for the calling on my life—preparing me to walk in the same spiritual path she had walked.

    My mother’s visions were live, and she had the ability to see things in real time—experiencing them with such clarity that she could describe every detail. She used to tell me that if God ever gave me the ability to see visions like she did, I would run away from them because of their intensity. She had this deep understanding of the spiritual realm, and she always said that her prayers for me were that I would one day see as she did.

    After she passed, I began to have visions. Most of mine come in dreams, though I’ve had a few live visions, which have been just as powerful. I believe that the Lord is giving me time to adjust because I know that as time goes on, the visions will only grow more intense, especially with the times we’re living in. My mother was right when she laughed and said she seen me running at the time if I were to see visions because of fear. I remember that so clearly—and I realize that I am just beginning to see more. While my visions might not be like hers, I can sense that God is preparing me for something greater as I walk this path.

    With that context in mind, I want to share with you what God has shown me, especially in relation to Hell, and how it ties into what we are facing in these end times.

    The Dream:

    On April 4, 2021, I had a dream that I wrote down in my journal. In the dream, I was climbing up a rocky ledge to meet Jesus. The terrain reminded me of the Grand Canyon—the rocks were red and brown, jagged yet majestic. My heart was set on seeing Heaven, and I could see the outline of the New Jerusalem in the distance behind Jesus. The city’s towers stood tall, just like the description in Revelation 21, when God brings the New Jerusalem down.

    But Jesus stopped me. He let me know that before I could see Heaven, I would have to see Hell. With a wave of His hand, I suddenly started falling. I plummeted into the depths of Hell, and as soon as I got there, fear consumed me. I immediately shut my eyes tightly. Though I didn’t see anything, the sounds were overwhelming: guttural growls, demonic voices, and tormented screams filled the air.

    It was terrifying.

    Just as quickly as I had fallen, Jesus lifted me back to the top. I want to clarify that when I say He pulled me up, it’s not like Jesus used His hands to grab me and pull me up. I just floated or rushed back up automatically. It’s hard to explain, but the best way I can put it is that by His power, I was lifted back to the top.

    Once I was back, Jesus asked me what I had seen. Trembling, I told Him I had closed my eyes because I was too scared. He replied, “You must go back.” But this time, He didn’t send me back immediately. Instead, I found myself in a waiting room. It resembled an airport, and I sat there among others who were sharing their own experiences. I understood that Jesus was giving me time to decide—would I be willing to return to Hell before seeing Heaven?

    In my dream, I couldn’t make the decision. I woke up shortly after.

    On June 22, 2021, I had another dream about Hell. This time, Jesus took me to a portion of Hell and then left me there. In this dream, I saw massive, grotesque demons. Their presence was menacing, but Jesus made it known to me—not with words, but through a deep understanding—that I was to call upon His name to destroy them.

    He left behind two individuals who were shouting alongside me. I believe Jesus placed them there to give me comfort, knowing I wouldn’t feel as afraid with them around me. I began shouting, “Blood of Jesus!” As soon as I did, the demons exploded by the power of Jesus’ name. But every time one demon exploded, another would come, and this time, it was bigger.

    Though I wasn’t as scared with these demons because I wasn’t alone, I knew in my spirit that with each demon I destroyed, a bigger one was coming. And that’s exactly how it happened.

    Although I wasn’t as afraid as before, I was still afraid. I would say, “Blood of Jesus,” but I tried not to say it too loud, because I didn’t want more demons coming. Yet, every time a demon exploded, more would come. I couldn’t help but wonder: Is this some kind of test? Why was it that every time I destroyed one demon, another, even stronger, appeared?

    I woke up shortly after that dream.

    Hell Is Real

    Many people today deny the existence of Hell or dismiss it as a metaphor, but the Bible is clear about its reality. In Matthew 10:28, Jesus warns: “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in Hell.”

    Hell is not a place anyone would want to go. It is a place of eternal separation from God, torment, and anguish. This isn’t just my opinion—it’s the truth revealed in Scripture.

    Some argue that no one has been to Heaven because of Jesus’ statement in John 3:13: “No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.”
    But let us remember, at that time, Jesus was the only one who had ascended to Heaven. After His death and resurrection, He has the power to reveal both Heaven and Hell to whomever He chooses.

    A Moment of Reflection

    This was personal for me, and I believe there is more to come. Eventually, I will have to face the inevitable: going again and seeing it fully, just like other brothers and sisters in Christ have, so I can share it in its entirety to help usher in the lost. I don’t share this to scare you, but to bring a sense of urgency. Your soul is precious, and eternity is real. Hell is a place you do not want to go, and Heaven is a place you cannot afford to miss. The decisions you make now determine your eternal destiny. Jesus is calling each of us to repentance, to live righteously, and to share His truth with others.

    If you’ve been unsure about your faith or your relationship with God, today is the day to make it right. Reflect on Matthew 7:13-14: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

    Choose the narrow road. Choose life.

    What About You?

    Have you had any dreams or experiences that have drawn you closer to God? Have you struggled with understanding the reality of Heaven and Hell? I encourage you to share your thoughts in the comments or reach out to me directly.

    Let’s continue to grow in faith together. God is calling us to be prepared—not only for the trials of this world but for the eternity that awaits after this life on earth ends. God gives us free will, but how we choose to live now will determine where we spend forever.
