We are a people learning to become more adaptive to the will and plan of God. In the Christian life, we are a chosen people with God given authority, promises, with talents and gifts. My awakening to God’s divine truths and power gave me the insight to change my living habits and circumstances to match the love, care and compassion of my Heavenly Father. My faith journey invites you to share, grow and respond to the talents and gifts that God has given all of us, and that includes you and your story as well. Each step we take on the “battlefield for the Lord” gives us a divine stance against anything the enemy tries to do. There are no more strong holds and victory is yours when you realize who you are and who you belong to. An awakening occurs that allows you to know, we serve a Mighty God and no group or religious sect is better than the other. We are the same under God with “unmerited favor” and eternal blessings.
