But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.”

John 6:20

I went through rejections, disappointments, isolation’s, hurt and verbal abuse, for years and you start to think that’s a normal way of life experiences. I chose to still stay positive but it got worse and followed me into adulthood. It followed me everywhere and I thought if I run, it would stop. It showed up in everything and oppressed me.I couldn’t out run these issues because I found out that it was a spirit.

I heard God tell me to stop running, turn around, and face it! I was so scared because they were huge and from childhood. I decided to face my giants by praying, repenting, practice stop sinning, seeking God’s face, and reading God’s Word. I noticed things got worse and started falling apart. I lost jobs, cars, homes, relationships, and money. I wanted to quit because I didn’t understand what’s going on! It was getting

10 times worse and I thought it was supposed to get better! Why can’t I keep my house, car, relationships, money? I then started rebuking the devil, the devil is a liar, praying harder, sending the devil back to the pits of hell, and fasting like never before!

Then I heard God say, ” It’s not the devil, it’s me!” John 6:20 But he said to them, ” It is I, don’t be afraid.” I was the one who let them reject you because they would hurt you. I was the one who told them not to hire you because I have something better for you! I was the one who told man not to help you so man won’t get The Glory for all I’m about to do in your life! I separated you because you are Royal Priesthood! Don’t be afraid…I had to break you down so I can build you back up into a Proverbs 31 Woman!
