Until we ask God for the courage to cut, cast out, and challenge our mistakes, we won’t be able to change course. In Genesis 21, Abraham was living with his mistake and miracle in the same house. He had a crossroad decision to make: Cast Ishmael and the bondwoman out now, or arrive short of destiny. Have you been too worried about the disruption change causes that you never cut loose the people who have delayed your destiny? Somebody always gets hurt in the cutting, but if you don't move, it might end up being you. Don’t rob your destiny of the temporary discomfort of changing course!

  • If you rearrange the letters in “depression” you get “I pressed on.” Don’t ever give up. Your breakthrough is almost here.
  • Hey, you. Whoever’s reading this, this is your sign. Everything’s gonna be okay. You did not come this far to give up. I believe in you.
  • Hallelujah......I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God
  • I'm a mother of 3, and I got the courage to walk away from a abusive relationship and I am trusting God to steer up in my next chapter especially now that am a single mom. Pray for me guys.

    I’m in the midst of my change and it has not been easy. There’s been a lot of tears, lonely nights, but God I’m going to keep pursuing you everyday. I’m going to keep my sobriety, I’m going to keep praying, I’m going to keep getting to know you. The fight with my flesh it hard. But I want to see you perform miracles in my life Jesus. I trust you Lord. I will follow you. Weather I’m on my knees crying or standing tall. Im willing to keep fighting because I know you will only lead me to my victory. Father God be with me ❤️

    "Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"💕🙏💗💕
  • Don’t be loyal to a bad mistake. Have the courage to change course. When I stopped being loyal to a bad marriage and abusive marriage because pride in being married to an attorney, God gave me the courage to change course and let go. The Lord said to me, “why hold on to less when I’m going to bless you with better. So I let go of bad for what God already had for me. Bless you Bishop. God gave me greater, blessed me and my four children.
  • The pain of recovery is better than the pain of regret. I love that message.
  • Thank you bishop, I'm 50 and in the process of change, its been painful to finally accept that my marriage of over 25 years was a bad choice in the first place and so I spent most of youth trying to make it work. It took me getting to a place where I couldnt recognize my face in the mirror to accept the truth. I walked away from years of abuse to start over my life. Now as a grand mother I'm going back to college (because I desperately need to), building a house, struggling financially, dealing with an empty nest as my kids have all moved on, deal with the scrutiny of church people while serving in ministry at a senior level, adjusting to the changes in my body AND emotions as I've become perimenopausal and struggling not to drown in regret over my choice to spend my youth like I did...sigh. In this season of my life I am doing what I should have done in my youth and it is taking a courage I did not know I possess. I am grateful for messages like this that keeps me assured, thank you again

    In June 2021, I changed course and decided to leave alcohol behind. Edit: It’s been over 2 years and I haven’t had a single drop of alcohol. 100% sober and never looking back! It’s a great feeling!!

    I’ve been out of a job for 7 months , I’ve been through depression , stress anxiety and suicidal thoughts. The devil tried to take me out but he LOST.! The devil thought he had me but God gave me a purpose inside of me to keep going. I don’t know where I’m being called to but I know I’m here for a reason. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever been through , this morning I read “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”” — ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31‬:‭6‬‬ And this video came up. I have courage Gods going to bring me through , he carried me these last 7 months when I couldn’t carry myself. Looking back on what I went through , he’s moulding me and shaping me Somebody say AMEN! For he is Good. Stay encouraged, Stay faithful, Stay on track, don’t give up! This video came for a reason , he’s confirming my BREAKTHROUGH

    Trusting God with my mistakes And taking responsibility--refusing to be a Prisoner in my own life!!!

    I’m 40 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My baby gets active and worships with me every single time I play this. I’m going to play this on repeat in my delivery room, as I could not think of a better time to worship and praise God.
