As we come to the final day of this journey, I invite us to pause for a moment and acknowledge something honestly. Many of us have been wounded. Not just in life, but within spaces where we expected safety, love, and spiritual growth. And those wounds are real. We are not pretending they did not happen. We are not minimising them. And we are not rushing past them. But we are also making a decision: those wounds will not define us, and they will not stop our worship. Because h

We continue this journey of “Wounded but Still Worshipping: God’s Healing Journey,” and today we shift our focus in a very important direction. Guarding Your Faith So You Don’t Grow Weary. Because wounds do not only have the potential to weaken us, they also have the potential to mature us. And I love that. Because here, it is never going to be all bashing and rehashing the negative. Our aim is to be better, do better, and to grow in Christ. It is important for us to understa

Today, we are talking about something the Bible speaks about very clearly but that believers sometimes hesitate to address: discernment. Because sometimes the wounds we experience in the Body of Christ do not come from obvious enemies. Sometimes they come from people who appear spiritual, who speak the language of faith, who know how to move in Christian spaces, but whose actions bring division, confusion, and harm. Jesus warned us about this directly. In Matthew 7:15 (KJV) H

Yesterday, we began by acknowledging something that many believers experience but often struggle to talk about: Sometimes the wounds we carry come from our own people—other believers, fellow Christians, those within the household of faith. Today, we go a little deeper. Because sometimes the issue is not only that harm happens among believers, but it is that some people causing the harm do not even realise they are doing it. Let me repeat that: There are Christians who genuine

One of the reasons many believers struggle to grow in their faith and deepen their relationship with God is that we sometimes remain stuck in places we were never meant to stay. We stay in hurt. We stay discouraged. We stay disappointed by things people have done or said. And instead of allowing those experiences to mature us spiritually, we allow them to make us stagnant. Sometimes we even become a little nonchalant about our spiritual growth. We tell ourselves we are fine

In the book of Hebrews 5:14 (KJV), we read: “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” By reason of use. That means repetition. Practice. Intentional growth. And as we are talking about discernment, we must understand that discernment is not automatic; it is trained. We do not wake up spiritually sharp. We become spiritually sharp. Just like physical muscles grow with res

One of the most dangerous things the enemy can do is not attack our bodies, our finances, or our relationships, but attack our discernment. Because if the enemy can distort what we perceive, what we think is right but is actually wrong, then he can influence what we choose. Second Corinthians 11:14 (KJV) says, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” Satan is not transformed into something more obvious, like a demon with horns or something els

Again, this topic is deeply personal to me. Today, we are talking about open doors. And as Christians, we love open doors, don’t we? Because we say, "Oh, this is an answer to prayer. God is so good!” An open door feels exciting. The email comes through. The opportunity presents itself. The relationship moves quickly. The platform grows. The invitation arrives. And the automatic conclusion many believers make is this: “Look at God”.“God did it.” But we need to understand or be

There is a dangerous sentence many believers say without realizing it. What is that? I am sure that each of us can come up with several of these statements that even we ourselves say all too often. But have you ever said: “I just feel like…” I just feel like God is telling me. I just feel like this is right. I just feel like something is off. But feelings are not always discernment. The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV): “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperate

We have touched on this subject here before. And many of us have also heard it discussed in sermons over many years. Have you ever heard The Voice of God speaking directly to you? How do you know it is The Voice of God or whether isn’t really, as we sometimes say, our minds telling us to do something ? This is the questions one might often ask: How many times have I mistaken God’s Voice for my own thoughts and missed His direction? Family, there is a difference between God

We have examined our hearts. We have repented. We have fasted with purpose. We have spoken about dying to self. Now we end where true discipleship must live — humility. The prophet Micah declares in Micah 6:8 (KJV): “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Walk humbly. Not once in a while Not emotionally. Just walk humbly, all of the time. Sincerely. To be humble i

Repentance turns us back to God. Fasting sharpens our focus. But discipleship requires something deeper — dying to self. Jesus said in Luke 9:23 (KJV): “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Daily. Dying to self daily. Meaning it’s not a one-time altar moment where you holler and bawl and cry out to God and then as soon as you leave that moment, you return to your old hot-tempered, prideful, uncaring self. Dying to

We have examined our hearts. We have spoken about repentance. Now we address fasting. I think we know this by now: Fasting is not about food. It is about focus. Jesus said in Matthew 6:16–18 (KJV): “Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast… But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in

Yesterday, we asked God to search our hearts. Today, we respond to what He reveals. Repentance is not merely saying sorry or feeling sorry. It is turning. And that, I have discovered, is one of the hardest things for us to do. The apostle Peter declared in Acts 3:19 (KJV): “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” Repent. Be converted. Be blotted out. Be refreshed. Convers

It begins in a garden, just after everything has gone terribly wrong. The Lord God walks in the cool of the day and calls out, “Where art thou?” (Genesis 3:9, KJV). Adam and Eve are hiding — stitched into fig leaves, crouched behind trees, hoping shadows can conceal what guilt has exposed. But nothing created can hide the heart from its Creator. God was not seeking information. He was inviting confession. And He is still asking the same question today — not about location, bu

We all want to be winners. Is that a fair statement? Specifically, regarding this battle of the mind, when we keep thinking evil thoughts, rehearsing fear, dwelling on offense, entertaining doubt, or magnifying insecurity. These are the very patterns we are supposed to overcome, and victory becomes harder to experience. But there is good news. We can win the war within and make our minds obey Christ. We are reminded today that winning the battle of the mind is not only about

The word “stronghold” can sound intense, but biblically, it is not automatically negative. In Scripture, a stronghold is a fortified place. It is a structure built for protection. David often called God his stronghold. Psalm 18:2 (KJV) says, “The Lord is my rock, and my fortress…” A fortress is a stronghold. That is a good one — a place of safety. But there is another kind. Second Corinthians 10:4 (KJV) speaks of “strongholds” that must be pulled down. These are fortified pat

Who is the boss of you? Your husband, your wife, your children, your grandchildren, your manager at work? God? Who is your boss? Serious question. Generally, a boss is someone in authority — someone who directs you, influences your decisions, and determines your response. Some bosses lead well. Others not so well, because they pressure you, they lead with fear or control. Now, let me say something that may sound strange: anxiety can become a boss. Situations, circumstances, e

We spoke sometime ago about when life gets heavy. That didn’t make life any lighter, right? It is still heavy for a lot of us. Correct? And so the efforts continue to encourage ourselves in the Lord. Truth is: some of us are not tired because life is heavy. We are tired because our minds will not turn off. Can I tell you?! I know I can testify. We replay conversations over and over in our heads. We read over those text messages. We revisit the mistakes. We imagine outcomes th

The greatest battles most of us as believers face are not external, not what we can see with our naked eyes. The greatest battles we face are internal. Before there is visible defeat, there is usually mental surrender. Before there is victory, there must first be mental discipline. The Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV), we must cast down imaginations. “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing i
