How Do You Deal with Your Issues?

When reading the story of the woman with the issues of blood, have you ever thought you could have those same "issues"?

This "issues" that might have been our burdens and reason for heaviness.

The beautiful thing about the story of the woman who battled with the issue of blood is that she recognized her problem. 

Matthew 9:21, she thinks to herself:

"...If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed."

She tirelessly sought healing, going from place to place in search of a potent source of healing for her affliction. Often, the very act of seeking help—from hospitals, counselors, or various places—demonstrates that, deep down, we possess enough faith to believe that one day we might receive our miracle.

It is far better to seek solutions than to resign ourselves to the belief that our issues define us, concluding that there is nothing that can be done about them.

I have often struggled with how to deal with my own issues. In an effort to avoid mockery or to seem weak, I would hide my problems away. It’s not that we should constantly display our struggles, but we must acknowledge that healing is available to us. We may not have found it yet, but there is still hope that something might work out. The greatest lie of the enemy is to make us normalize our issues, convincing us to accept them as the norm. "Oh, it isn’t a problem; it’s just a lifestyle," we might say. After all, the woman lived with her affliction for over thirty years, which is three decades. 

However, the truth is that God offers us freedom—freedom sufficient to bring us wholeness. We don’t need to get used to our bad attitudes, childhood traumas, or marital crises. We can draw closer to God, believing that if only we could touch the hem of the Master’s garment, we could be saved. This is what Jesus offers us: hope, even when the constant message from culture suggests that there isn’t any hope. Christ is our hope—not a hope limited by time, but one that transcends our present circumstances and reaches into eternity.

So, if we are unsure of how to manage our heavy burdens and issues, we can lift them up to the One who specializes in healing and wants to help us restore our brokenness. 

The enemy’s first strategy is to keep us in a state of brokenness, for he knows that when we are broken, we cannot see what God is offering us. The reality is that God heals the broken-hearted—those with shattered dreams, broken marriages, ruined businesses, broken bodies, and any other form of brokenness the enemy has inflicted. He walks with us through this journey of healing.

This process doesn’t happen in a moment; it unfolds as a journey, with God guiding us every step of the way.

What do you do with the issues?

Just like the woman, you can touch the helm of His garment today.

God Sustains What He Says

When was the last time you heard a word from God?  

When was the last time you received a word from Him?  

A respected minister once said, "God sustains what He says," and these words resonated with me. They can be timely reminders because, in moments of waiting, we expect God to speak to us. He often delivers personal words through dreams and revelations, and He has also given us His written Word. In His Word, He affirms that we should put Him in remembrance of His promises.

Psalm 119:49 clearly says:

"Put me in remembrance according to thy word unto thy servant, wherein thou hast caused me to hope." (YLT)

 The God we serve honors His Word even above His name; in His Word is His honor. So, when He gives us a promise, He is committed to fulfilling it.

To you reading this, beloved, I don’t mean to sound cliché, but have you discovered what God has said concerning your situation? Did God give you a word, and now it seems as if He is absent from your story? In every moment, even during downtime, God is there, prompting and beckoning us, saying, "I want to carry you through." 

As I type these words, it feels like what my heart truly needs. I wish God would stretch out His arms and carry me through this moment. When I got into my room, all I could think was, "God, help me. Dear God, You really have to help me." I know there are times when we want to express more, but there are no words to convey our feelings. Yet, we can choose to search the Scriptures and allow the Holy Spirit to articulate our pleas to God.

If you happen to come across these words in the midst of your day, I want you to know that God sustains what He says. In colloquial terms, "He won't lead you astray." You can join me in saying, "Lord, I need You to carry me through these moments."

The Spiritual Womb: A Call to Women of Purpose and Power

When God desires to bring deliverance and sustenance to a generation, He raises a woman. Why? Because within every woman lies a divine capacity—not only to multiply but also to bruise the head of the serpent (Genesis 3:15). A woman’s womb is not solely for bearing children; it is a sacred chamber designed to birth purpose, business ideas, ministry, career paths, and every divine seed placed by God.

This isn’t just about physical birth. It’s about birthing destinies, visions, and generations.

When God sought to deliver Israel, He raised Jochebed, the mother of Moses. In the face of Pharaoh’s death decree, she saw something extraordinary in her son. She believed his life had divine significance and could not be extinguished. Her faith moved her to action:

“And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.”

— Exodus 2:3, KJV

That ark wasn’t just made of reeds—it was made of courage, vision, and maternal conviction.

When God planned to redeem the world, He chose Mary, a young woman willing to carry the Savior of humanity. She didn’t ask for validation from the world. She didn’t flinch, even when she knew Joseph might walk away. She simply believed:

"The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you..."

— Luke 1:35, NIV

In both cases, God entrusted the weight of deliverance to a woman.

Every woman carries a spiritual womb—a place where divine assignments are conceived. Tragically, many women are unaware of the treasures the Lord has deposited within them. Until that discovery is made, nothing can be birthed. Some are spiritually pregnant with God-given dreams, yet they’ve not brought them forth. Others have given birth to purpose but have failed to nurture what they’ve birthed.

Our capacity to nurture and mature what the Lord has placed within us is a sacred responsibility, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

To truly give birth, we must identify what we carry. Is it connected to your career? Your family? Your education, business, or ministry? Many of us have started projects with excitement and conviction, knowing the Lord led us. But due to challenges and obstacles, we left them halfway. Others are in a rush to “release their child” prematurely, without ensuring it’s the appointed time, or even if they are spiritually prepared.

Do not release your child too soon.

Timing is everything:

If it is truly yours, the tides will eventually turn in your favor.

So ask yourself:

• Have you aborted your spiritual baby?

• Have you groomed it?

• Have you neglected it?

• Or, like the servant who buried his one talent out of fear, have you hidden what God gave you? (Matthew 25:24–25)

Wake up.

The earth responds to women who are willing to pay the price for greatness. It takes power, foresight, and divine alignment to thrive in the world and the times we live in. There is no neutral ground—you are either advancing or retreating. There is no room for fence-sitting.

We are called to live out the divine pictures God has engraved in our spirits. With each passing day, those visions become clearer. What once felt like mere imagination now reveals itself as destiny. Deliverance and preservation lie in your hunger, your sacrifice, and your alignment.

Through one woman, a generation can be bound—or set free.

Women, it is time to go on a spiritual antenatal journey. Prepare to birth what God has placed in your spiritual womb. And for those whose time is now, I pray—in the name of Jesus—that the Holy Spirit breathes upon your spirit and leads you into a labor leading to the birth of visible, undeniable manifestation. May the world see it, and may they glorify God through your life.

May the multiplying grace of the Lord rest upon you.

Out of Nazareth: He Came Once, He’s Coming Again.

The humble birth of Jesus remains a miracle to this day.

He came from one of the places where people thought nothing good could come out of—a powerful reminder that God brings beauty out of what seems like nothing. From a place people believed nothing good could come, God raised a King—the One the earth had long awaited.

“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.

John 1:46 (NIV)

 Many spoke of His coming and even died without witnessing it.

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off…”
Hebrews 11:13 (NKJV)

 And when He finally came, only a few recognized and acknowledged: "This is the Messiah." 

 Just as He came quietly the first time, He will return again—soon. The question is: Are you counted among His army? The message of repentance is the message of Jesus.

 The Bible says He will come like a thief in the night, and the saints will be taken. Many say, “We’ve heard this all before,” but the truth is: His coming is nearer than ever. We do not need to know the exact time or season. We just need to be ready.

Do not be caught off guard. Mercy is calling out to you today. Let go, and let God take the lead in your life. Don’t be afraid to take that bold step today. Though there are many on this earth, He deals with us personally. Yes—He knows your name and every detail of your life. And he says Come.
