And I’ll Rise..
There has been a shift in the atmosphere that is now my life because my enemies are threatened on every area of the map the closer I get to the calling God has put on my life. I have spent the last few months allowing myself to heal from previous trauma, unemployment, deaths in my family, and feelings of hopelessness in the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, I am human, but I stopped giving myself the same grace I was extending others and having the self-compassion to minister to myself. Those neglected parts of me began to show up in the world and dismantle the foundation I had been laying out for my future. I was empty, I allowed people to disturb my peace and take me back to places I prayed my way out of. This is what the enemy does, he comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I decided that I wouldn’t stay in such a negative space.
I am my favorite preacher because when I reviewed my own words from a previous blog post I felt the inspiration returning to my spirit and realized that the enemy is afraid of me. In my previous blog posed titled Still I Rise, I wrote“There will be times that people will shake you to your core, disturbing the peace that you have created for yourself and those who want to limit your potential; Don't let them because this is a part of the growth process in life”. You can’t waste your time trying to figure out why people have certain preconceived notions, that's their problem, and it's a waste of time trying to figure out an issue. Instead of trying to figure something out, speak words of freedom, deliverance, abundance, and growth. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
