💯 Keeping It 100

Last night I was thinking about receipts — looking back and seeing what God has done for me, what He’s brought me through. And this morning, still following that train of thought, I was reminded that God’s word doesn’t return to Him void. It accomplishes what He sent it to do.

Then I remembered something that happened a long time ago — the moment a man walked into my jail cell and handed me a Bible. I’ve always believed that it wasn’t just a man who came to see me that day; it was God Himself, walking into that cell to deliver His word.

I remember our conversation clearly. He told me how much time I was going to get and how much time I would do. And the very book he handed me described God as the One who declares the end from the beginning. That moment was more than an introduction to Scripture — it was the fulfillment of it. God sent His word, and it has been accomplishing exactly what He sent it for ever since.

Hope that does not disappoint.
Faith that comes by hearing the word of God — the very faith without which it’s impossible to please Him.
Wisdom that reshapes how I see.
Understanding and knowledge of God that continues to grow.
And the renewing of my mind — proof that His word works.

Looking back, I realize I’ve been holding on to receipts — evidence of His faithfulness. Every lesson learned, every breakthrough, every breath of peace is proof that God’s word always returns with fruit.

This is my 100th post, and I can’t think of a better way to commemorate it than by “keeping it 100” — giving God the glory for being true to His word.

So if you’re reading this, I hope it reminds you to look back. To see how far you’ve come. To recognize the goodness and mercy that have been following you every step of the way. His word hasn’t failed you — and it never will.

You Are Mine

There are few things more powerful than being seen —truly, deeply seen. And there are few words more affirming than the ones God speaks in Isaiah 43:1: “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.” This verse hits with the force of a knockout punch. It’s God stepping in and declaring: “I don’t care what you’ve been through. I don’t care what name you’ve answered to. I don’t care what’s tried to claim you—I ALREADY DID. YOU. ARE. MINE.” Let’s break it down. Jacob vs. Israel: Who You Were vs. Who You’ve Become God doesn’t just call one name in this verse—He calls two. Jacob and Israel. This isn’t accidental; this is intentional. 🔹 Jacob (Ya‘aqov - ×™ַ×¢ֲקֹב) means supplanter, deceiver, heel-grabber. Jacob was the struggler, the one who grasped at what wasn’t his, the man who schemed his way through life. His name was tied to his flaws, his past, his reputati...

Breaking the Lock and Key: A Call to Transformation

  1. Introduction: The Invisible Chains of Conformity “Do not be conformed to the image of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This verse is not just a spiritual call—it’s a radical challenge to every system that seeks to mold us into something we’re not. Conformity, whether to cultural norms or religious rules, often feels inevitable. Yet, it can trap us in a cycle of dependency, where access to fulfillment, purpose, or salvation seems locked away by those in power. But there is another way. Transformation through the renewing of the mind is the antidote to conformity—a pathway to reclaiming the freedom Christ offers. To break free, we must recognize how the "lock and key" dynamic operates in the world around us. 2. The "Lock and Key" of Cultural Conformity The Chains of Expectation: From the moment we enter the world, we’re handed a script: achieve success, accumulate wealth, look perfect, and conform to society's defini...

Naturally

There’s a phrase that came to me one morning, somewhere between sleep and waking: "You got a natural on the way!" It landed in my spirit with excitement—like a whisper from Heaven. And the more I sat with it, the more I realized it wasn’t just a random phrase. It was a confirmation. I’ve been in pursuit of purpose for most of my life. But if I’m honest, that pursuit was often desperate—striving to prove something, misusing the very talents I was naturally given in an effort to make a name for myself. And while serving time for that pursuit, I discovered things in me that no one taught me. Insights. Truths. Talents, that just came naturally. Then it hit me: that’s the point. Genesis 1:26–28 tells us we were made in the image of God. Before the fall. Before religion. Before shame. We were blessed. And that blessing wasn’t ornamental—it was functional. It was meant to activate our design: Be fruitful Multiply Replenish the earth Subdue it Have dominion We weren’t made to strugg...
