3 Ways To Break Cycles

-
" Didn't I conquer this last year?
Tell me what I missed 'cause I fear
That it's coming back up again
Must be something I ate
Some song, some show, some hate
The devil wants to extend the game, free throws
And when it ends he wants to make the sequel
'Cause if he has another chance
He feels like he can take
My joy, my peace, my faith"
- Jonathan McReynolds


That song literally speaks my life. Lately, I can say that I've been going in cycles. Things I thought I got rid of years ago or conquered have come back up. And I'm just sitting here saying, " This again? Really? ".  Other times, I thought I had really conquered it, but this year, it's a whole different story. I'm ready to break the cycles and be all God has called me to be. You may be going through the same thing. Whether it be cycles of generational curses, depression, lusting , pornography, toxic relationships, financial, spiritual, or pain, they're all cycles that can be broken. You can be free of whatever it may be!

Over the past few months, I've learned a few ways to overcome cycles. It won't happen overnight, nothing ever does. What I will say is that it helps and will eventually lead you into freedom.

1. Pray
Praying helps with literally anything! Prayer is communication with God. It doesn't have to be in a certain form or fashion. He just desires you to come and communicate with Him. Whatever cycle you're facing, go to God and talk to Him about it. Also, be willing to listen to what He has to tell you. It could very well be the answer to what you need. So build your prayer life up. Pray about that cycle that has you in bondage every single day and never stop!

2. Seek God
Seeking God is so much more than prayer. You have to get into His Word and apply it to your life. Once you began seeking God, your mindset will change, heart will be in the right place, and you'll start to become more of who He has called you to be. When seeking God about your cycle, you have to be willing to let go of it. It doesn't make sense to pray and seek God about it if you're not ready to let it go. Be real with yourself and God.

3. Change Environments
Your surroundings are everything! From the people you hang around to the places you go, all isn't good for you, especially if it triggers your "cycle". It may become difficult to let go of the environment you're used to. If you're trying to elevate and do right and they're not, it's time to let go. You don't need anything or anyone getting in the way of your deliverance and purpose. So from now on, know that your environments and the people you're around are extremely important. Changing your environments can lead you to the places and people you need in your life that may help break the cycles. 

Cycles are crucial. The devil knows them and will always try to make you stay in it. Like stated before in a previous blog, he likes to keep you down so you won't grow with God and do the purpose He has for your life. Growth is needed. Cycles need to be broken. Whatever it may be holding you back, pray, seek God, and change environments so that you can be FREE!

    I listened to this song just a few days ago back to back. The words ... like the enemy weather in spirit or human form pays attention to our mistakes even when we down and use them to keep us going in cycles. I like to say at times it’s not the enemy; just us not seeking God daily. I’m return our eyes and ears are not alert to see him showing us the right steps and we are tuned to hear him speaking directly to us. Niece and I am proud to now call you that because you are exceptional. God is using you and growing you. Tho at times you may not feel it however I can tell the growth in your writing and mindset since you started this journey. This was so good I read it twice! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

How's Your Faith?

Happy New Year Lovelies! It's 2018 and I'm sure all of us are filled with excitement and ready to take on this new year with everything in us. We all have so many goals, dreams and plans we want to accomplish in our set timing, but are we prepared if God shakes it all up? How's your faith? I ask that because we can have all these plans, the set dates when things need to be finished and God can step in and change everything. I believe in this season/year, faith needs to be at an all time high in all of us. The fresh visions we possess are most likely from God. If He has given them to us we have to have faith He'll manifest them. And not just manifest them, but they be manifested in His timing. We have to put our timing to death and trust God's timing. Sometimes waiting on God's timing can become difficult. We get impatient, begin to doubt, and at times try and take matters into our own hands. But He is preparing us for the promise. Jesus says, " ......

What's Been Going On ?

Hey guys! It's been awhile and I know you're wondering where have I been. To be honest, I've been in this place of complacency. I became comfortable with who and where I was in life. There was no growth, no motivation, no inspiration, no drive to do anything. I began to become distant from God, church, and everyone around me. I was a complete mess yet comfortable. Eventually, I really began to feel the effects of everything. I was heading back into depression, loneliness, sadness, unhappiness, anything you can think of. At that moment, I knew it was time to get up and get myself together. The motivation still wasn't present but I forced myself to do what was necessary. I had to in order to never return to the place of depression/darkness. Starting devotionals, praying, reading my Bible, writing to God, and starting new spiritual/church series on YouTube were my steps into getting back to who I am suppose to be. All of these began to give me the peace, happiness, a...
