  • Journal Entry: Introduction to The Ways of The Enemy

    I began to recognize how the enemy was subtly keeping me in bondage—not just through pity parties, but also through perfectionism. When I wasn’t drowning in self-pity, I was berating myself for not measuring up, expecting flawlessness, and striving in my own strength. Both postures—self-pity and self-judgment—kept me disconnected from God’s grace and focused on my own insufficiency. I started to see these thoughts for what they were: lies wrapped in emotional reasoning that sounded like my own voice but contradicted God’s truth. As I practiced taking every thought captive and replacing them with Scripture, I wasn't just shifting my mindset—I was stepping into spiritual warfare, silencing the enemy’s script, and walking in the freedom Christ already secured for me.

  • Teaching: Dying to Self. Becoming the New Creature. Renewing Our Minds.

    Being born again isn’t just about the forgiveness of sins or going to Heaven—it’s about becoming who we are in Christ and renewing our minds so that we can walk in our Kingdom identity. For years, I thought I needed to “die to self,” but what God was really teaching me was how to live as a new creation. The transformation wasn’t something I could achieve on my own; it required learning to walk in the Spirit and allowing the Holy Spirit to renew my mind. This is just the beginning of this conversation—because stepping into who we are in Christ is a lifelong journey.
