  • Embracing New Beginnings: A Faith-Filled Approach to the New Year

    The New Year is a time for fresh starts and renewed hope. It’s a season to think about God’s promises and embrace the new things He is doing in our lives. Yet, stepping into a new season often means letting go of what lies behind—our past mistakes, regrets, and disappointments.

    God reminds us in Isaiah 43:18-19 to forget the former things and not dwell on the past. Why? Because He is doing something new! As believers, we’re called to trust that God’s plans for us are good, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.

    This year, let’s focus on a faith-filled approach to new beginnings:

    1. Let Go of the Past: Release the burdens and mistakes of yesterday. Trust in God’s forgiveness and grace to start anew.
    2. Embrace God’s Plan: Seek His guidance in prayer, and ask Him to reveal the new things He is preparing for your life.
    3. Walk in Faith: Step boldly into this year, knowing that God is with you, directing your steps.

    As we journey through this year, let’s encourage one another to stay grounded in faith and remain open to the amazing things God has in store. Remember, His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).

    Let’s make 2025 a great year!

  • 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.

  • Finding Strength in Trials: Faith, Patience, and Endurance

    Finding Strength in Trials: Faith, Patience, and Endurance

    Life often presents us with seasons of challenge, where it feels like the weight of the world is pressing down on us. One trial after another can leave us feeling overwhelmed and questioning why these hardships seem relentless. When everything seems to go wrong, it can be hard to see past the storm. However, it is in these times of struggle that our faith, patience, and endurance are put to the test—and ultimately, refined. In these trying times, God’s Word is the light that leads us through the darkness, offering hope, strength, and reassurance.

    Faith in the Midst of Trials

    In difficult times, faith can be the foundation that holds us steady. The Bible tells us that faith is not just for the good times, but especially for the hard ones. In James 1:2-4, we are reminded:

    “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” (James 1:2-4 NIV)

    These verses remind us that trials are not in vain—they serve a purpose. When we face challenges, our faith is being tested and strengthened. Just as gold is refined through fire, our faith is refined through life’s most difficult moments. The more we trust in God’s plan, even in the darkest times, the stronger our faith becomes. These trials may feel overwhelming, but they are not without meaning. They are the very moments in which we grow and mature spiritually.

    Patience: A Virtue Developed in Hard Times

    Patience is another key aspect of maintaining faith during trials. When we face multiple difficulties back-to-back, it is easy to grow impatient, asking “How much longer, God?” Yet, God calls us to be patient and to trust His timing. Romans 5:3-4 tells us:

    “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” (Romans 5:3-4 NIV)

    In moments of suffering, patience is developed as we learn to wait on God’s timing. Perseverance through hardship shapes our character and leads to hope. The more we endure with patience, the more we can see how God’s hand is at work in our lives. He is never absent during our struggles; He is shaping us and strengthening us for the future.

    Endurance: Strengthened Through God’s Promise

    Endurance is the ability to keep going, even when the road ahead seems uncertain. The Apostle Paul speaks about endurance in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18:

    “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV)

    When we face continual hardships, it can feel as though our strength is dwindling. But Paul reminds us that, though our bodies may grow tired, our inner spirit is being renewed. The troubles we face are temporary in light of the eternal glory awaiting us. Our endurance through hardship brings us closer to God’s promises, and one day, we will see the full beauty of His plan for us.

    God’s Faithfulness in the Storm

    It’s easy to forget that God is always with us, especially when we face successive struggles. But the Bible consistently reassures us of His presence and faithfulness. Isaiah 41:10 encourages:

    “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; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10 NIV)

    In those moments when it feels like we are at the end of our rope, we are never truly alone. God promises to strengthen and uphold us. When we feel weak, He gives us the strength to carry on. When everything feels uncertain, we can rest in the certainty of His promises.

    Hope Beyond the Trials

    Lastly, while trials are inevitable, they are not the end of the story. Through our faith, patience, and endurance, God is doing a mighty work in us. Romans 8:18 assures us:

    “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” (Romans 8:18 NIV)

    No matter how difficult the trials may seem, they are temporary compared to the eternal glory that awaits us. Our hope is not in our circumstances, but in the God who is working all things for our good (Romans 8:28).

    Conclusion: Keep the Faith

    When life feels like a series of unending struggles, remember that these challenges are not meaningless. They are opportunities for your faith to grow, your patience to deepen, and your endurance to be refined. Hold on to God’s promises, trust His timing, and keep your eyes on the hope that lies ahead. As we navigate these trials, let us cling to the truth that God is faithful, and He will never leave us or forsake us.

    Remember, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18 NIV). Trust in Him, for He is our refuge and strength in times of trouble.

  • We Are Never Alone on Life’s Journey

    Walk with me Lord featuring vocals by Sha Devalle

    Life can be full of challenges, uncertainties, and moments when we feel isolated, even surrounded by others. But the beautiful truth is this: We are never alone because Jesus walks with us, no matter what road we find ourselves on.

    Through every joy and every sorrow, Jesus is by our side. When life feels overwhelming, He offers peace. When we are uncertain about the future, He lights the way. Even when we can’t see or feel Him, He remains faithfully present, guiding us and carrying us through.

    Jesus never promised an easy path, but He did promise His presence. In moments of doubt, He reassures us. In seasons of pain, He comforts us. And in times of joy, He celebrates with us. His love for us is constant and unfailing, no matter how winding or difficult the road becomes.

    So, wherever life takes you—whether to mountaintops or valleys—know that you are never alone. Jesus is walking with you, step by step, holding you close. Lean on Him, trust His love, and take heart in the journey, knowing that with Him by your side, you will never walk alone.

    “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matthew 28:20

  • Come As You Are: The Heart of Jesus’ Invitation

    Come As You Are: The Heart of Jesus’ Invitation

    When we hear the phrase “come as you are,” many of us immediately think about what we wear to church. But Jesus’ invitation goes so much deeper than just our outward appearance. He’s not concerned with whether you’re dressed up or dressed down. He’s looking at the state of your heart. Jesus is calling you to come as you are—no matter where you are in life, no matter what struggles or sins you’re wrestling with.

    You might think, “I’m not ready to come to Jesus. I’m still struggling with smoking.” Or perhaps, “I’m caught in the web of fornication; how can I approach Him like this?” But here’s the beautiful truth: Jesus says, “Come.” You don’t have to be perfect before you give your life to Christ. In fact, the very essence of the Gospel is that we can’t make ourselves perfect. That’s why we need Him.

    Living for the Lord is a daily journey, a step-by-step walk that’s often filled with challenges. No one gets it right all the time—not on the first try, and sometimes not even on the hundredth. It’s a process, a gradual unfolding of who God created you to be. Jesus doesn’t expect you to clean up your life before you come to Him. He knows that only through His grace can the layers of sin and brokenness be peeled away to reveal the true you underneath.

    You have to trust Him. Trust the process. Come as you are—a sinner in need of a Savior. Repent of your sins, but don’t stop there. Get to know Jesus. Spend time in His Word, in prayer, in worship, and let Him do the work of transformation in you. There’s no need to be ashamed of where you are right now, and there’s certainly no need to compare your journey with anyone else’s. Each of us has our own path, and God is working in each of us in His own time.

    The Bible reminds us in Philippians 2:12, “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” This verse encourages us to take our relationship with God seriously, to work on it diligently, but it doesn’t say we have to do it perfectly. The focus is on our own walk with Jesus, not anyone else’s.

    So stop waiting until you feel like you have it all together. Stop waiting until you’ve conquered every sin or figured out every struggle. Jesus is ready to meet you right where you are and lead you into the life He has planned for you. Come as you are—broken, weary, burdened—and let Him make you whole. Amen.

  • The Workaround

    The Workaround

    Have you ever noticed that when God gives you an assignment, it feels like everything that can possibly go wrong does? Distractions, obstacles, and hurdles seem to spring up out of nowhere, making the journey ahead seem daunting. But in those moments, we must allow our tenacity to kick in and cling to the comforting words of Scripture: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” -Philippians  4:13.

    Sometimes, despite our best efforts, things don’t unfold according to our plans. But that’s okay. If our love for God and Jesus is genuine, we must persevere through the turmoil and chaos, determined to fulfill the purpose set before us. The enemy, in his cunning ways, tries to thwart our progress and make us give up. But remember, God is always just a prayer away.

    When you feel like throwing in the towel, don’t. When you think you can’t endure any longer, you can. Rest assured, God will never burden us with more than we can bear. So, when you feel like crumbling under the weight of it all, fall to your knees in prayer, knowing that God hears the prayers of the righteous.

    Never surrender, but instead, know there is always a workaround to achieve what God has called you to do. It may not be the easiest route, and it might even be unconventional, but you must face these tests and trials head-on. Demonstrate to God and Jesus Christ that you are more than capable of fulfilling your calling, whether it means crawling, running, or sliding through the challenges.

    At the end of the day, you will never regret your hard work, faith, and determination. If the task seems insurmountable, brainstorm alternative solutions to make it happen. Stay resilient, stay encouraged, and remember: God is with you every step of the way.

    Until next time, may God bless you!

  • Facing Slander: Stand Strong in God’s Word

    When people spread lies about you, when they attempt to tear you down with their words, and when you feel as though you’re being belittled and mocked, remember that these are merely trials designed to shake your faith. As Psalm 101:5 warns, “Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.” Yet, in the face of adversity, we must stand firm in the promises of God, trusting that He is our refuge and strength.

    In the midst of slanderous attacks aimed at tarnishing your reputation, it’s vital to anchor yourself in the unwavering truths of Scripture. Just as Jesus faced false accusations and ridicule during His earthly ministry, we too may encounter trials that test our resolve and faith. However, it’s crucial to recognize that these attacks are not a reflection of our worth or character but rather distractions orchestrated by the enemy to derail us from our divine purpose.

    Even in our darkest moments, when the weight of the world threatens to crush our spirits, we must not lose hope. Instead, we must cling to the assurance found in 1 John 4:4, which declares, “Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.” This verse serves as a powerful reminder that the same God who conquered sin and death resides within us, empowering us to overcome every obstacle that stands in our way.

    So, when the voices of doubt and discouragement grow loud, drown them out with the truth of God’s Word. Remember that you are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God, and no amount of slander or mockery can diminish your inherent value and worth. Take refuge in the knowledge that God sees your heart and He delights in you, despite the false narratives that others may try to weave.

    As Proverbs 10:18 admonishes, “He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.” As you navigate through the storms of life, hold fast to your faith and trust in God’s unfailing love. Lean on Him for strength and courage, knowing that He will never leave you nor forsake you. And as you persevere through adversity, may you find solace in the words of Matthew 5:11-12, “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”

    So, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, stand tall in the face of slander and persecution, for you are a beloved child of God, and nothing can separate you from His love.

  • You’re much stronger than you think

    You’re much stronger than you think

    In the midst of our struggles, it’s tempting to give up, to let the weight of the world drag us down. But in those moments, we must remember that God is our strength. Psalm 28:7-8 reassures us, “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.”

    Life can sometimes feel like an overwhelming storm, tossing us about like a ship in the deepest ocean. It’s as if we’re treading water, struggling to keep our heads above the crashing waves. But amidst these turbulent waters, there’s a force keeping us afloat—a force greater than ourselves. That force is God.

    God isn’t distant; He’s actively involved in our lives, sustaining us through every trial. He’s the alpha and omega, knowing all, and His love for us never wavers.

    In the midst of life’s challenges, it’s easy to feel alone, to feel like no one understands. But 1 Peter 5:7 reminds us, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” God understands our struggles intimately.

    Yes, life can be tough, but this world is not our eternal home. Our ultimate destination is heaven, where we’ll dwell forever if we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior. So, when we stumble, when we cry, we must remember to turn to Jesus. Building a strong relationship with Him is our key to survival on this earth.

    You’re not alone in your struggles. Many others face similar challenges. These trials test our faith and endurance, but through it all, God remains with us.

    So, when the burdens of life threaten to overwhelm you, remember that God is by your side. Lean on Him for strength, and trust in His promises. With God’s love and support, we can weather any storm.

    God loves you, and so do I.

  • Jesus Will Save You, No Matter What You’ve Done

    Yes, you read it right! No matter what you’ve done, if you repent, Jesus will save you. Often, we judge people based on their past and think there’s no way they can be saved. But if you pause to reflect, you’ll realize that Jesus will go to the lowest of the low to save anyone. He will go to the deepest depths and even places that no one else will go. Why! Because Jesus loves you so much! The beauty of serving God is that He tells you the truth. While God gives us free will, He also informs us of the consequences of choosing evil over good.

    On the contrary, the devil lies and manipulates people into serving him. He promises wealth, fame, and fortune, but he doesn’t disclose that he will take their souls and lead them to hell. His trick is to entice, lure, and then capture people. In contrast, Jesus patiently steps back, waits for you, and gives you time to change. He presents Himself to you, and if you reject Him, He lets you be. During that time, He helps, teaches, and guides you, so you can realize that He is what you are missing. No matter what you’ve done, He will take you, save you, and clean you up. Don’t worry about your past. People have a way of always bringing up your past, but once you have repented, God wipes it all away. Don’t wait too late to accept him because you don’t want to die without Jesus. Because Jesus will save anyone, if you let Him.
