Choose to praise the Lord until you see the promise. God is faithful to His children, and your victory may be closer than you think.
There is nothing impossible for Him. NOTHING.
It may be just one more lap around Jericho before the trumpet sounds or one last shout of praise before the chains break free and the cell door opens.
So, keep trusting the Lord because the circumstances you find yourself in today are not the end. God has a good plan for your life. These days are merely your training ground to equip you for victory in future battles and to fulfill your purpose.
When I was younger and going through a trial or dreading the reality of something I knew I had to do, my grandmother would encourage me by saying, "You can fight a bear for that long."
So, today I remind you that before David danced until his clothes fell off, he fought a bear in the wilderness. If you are a child of the Most High, then the power and strength to fight the bear you are facing is inside of you! I know the growls are loud and the nashing of teeth is scary, but keep fighting because I've seen how this story ends...
You slay the bear, end up killing a giant, and dancing in the street! Today's battle is preparation, and you are fully equipped for it to end in victory.
I released the following word two years ago, and its truth still rings true today...
If you could see from my view of what the Holy Spirit has revealed, you would be shouting hallelujah and giving the Lord praise. All you may be able to see from where you stand is Pharaoh and his army on your heels, but your Red Sea moment is near. You may be feeling weary, wandering in the wilderness, but from a heavenly perspective, your promised land is closer than you think. So, lift your eyes to Jesus, raise your hands, and praise Him from a place of victory because this is your portion and inheritance as a child of Adoni.
Paul worshiped in jail before the earth shook and his chains broke free. The Israelite army marched seven days around Jericho before the trumpet sounded and the walls fell. Choose to praise the Lord until you see the promise. Your day of dancing like David is coming.
The Lord has called me to walk alongside women, helping them incorporate biblical truth with practical strategies so they can rise above survival and truly thrive.

For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God. Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, Lord, my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.
Psalms 86:10-12
But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it, and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it, and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.”
1 Samuel 17:34-37
