Persistence and humility will be honored by God.
The widow was persistent in seeking justice from a king "who did not fear God or care about men".
Her faith was demonstrated in that persistence and she received the justice she sought.
A Pharisee exalted himself above a tax collector in the temple (meant to send prayers up to God).
That tax collector, recognized himself as a sinner and humbly sought God's mercy then went home justified.

Stay persistent in faith.
Be humble in all your ways.

Do not just hear what God says.
Adhere to what He has told you.

A good father wants to know the questions his children have.
He wants them to come to him to inquire of him: the things that puzzle them, perplex them, and give them pause.
He does not want his child to go to their “friends” to receive bad insight or counsel.
A good father wants to set his child on the path of truth.
Not one carved out by their feelings & desires, that will lead them away from truth.
Even if they buck against the truth in that moment.
A good father knows the truth will meet them as long as truth has always been presented to them.
In that moment, it will be their decision….
Do they follow truth or do they follow the lie?
God is not afraid of our questions. He welcomes them. He desires for us to inquire of Him, so He can show us the way to Truth. Ask The Father. Talk with Him. Inquire of Him. He will answer you, in truth with love.

Romans 3:4 Let God be true, and every man a liar.

Not ashamed!

For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.

📌 So I’m in the store… minding my business… just grabbing a few things.

And a woman walks up to me, kinda smiling but a little nervous… and she says, “Excuse me… are you the ‘Listen To Me’ pastor from social media?” 👀

I laughed…🤣I said, “Yeah, that’s me.” She said, “Can I take a picture?” 🤳 I said, “Of course.” So we take the picture… we both smiling… light moment… But then something shifted 💨

Because after the picture 📸 , she didn’t walk away.
Her tone changed. Her eyes got heavy 🥺And she said… “Sir… I just want to tell you… I follow your wisdom… but I stopped going to church years ago.” I said, “What happened?” She paused… took a breath…
And said, “I was married… 💍 to a pastor… and he stepped out on me……Silence.

She said, “That thing shattered me. 💔 Not just my marriage… my faith. I stopped believing in love… and honestly… I was upset at God.”

Now watch this…What started as a picture…turned into a deliverance session‼️

I looked at her and said…”Can I say something… but I need you to hear me with your heart… & not your hurt.”
She nodded. I said, “What happened to you was real… and it was wrong.” But don’t confuse what he did… with what God designed.” Because too many people take a broken experience… and build a belief system out of it.

I told her, “When people say ‘wives get cheated on too’…”that’s not wisdom… that’s wounded agreement. 💔 That’s somebody lowering their expectation… to match what they’ve seen go wrong. I said, “Everybody that gets married… wasn’t led by God.” “Everybody that says ‘I do’… didn’t have discernment before they did it.” Some people don’t enter covenant… they enter pressure… loneliness… timing… comfort… So when it breaks… they blame the institution… instead of the FOUNDATION 😮

I told her, “Ma’am… cheating is not a covenant issue…”
It’s a character issue.” And what that man did not expose God… it exposed him‼️

I could see it hitting her…You know that look when somebody is hearing truth…but it’s undoing years of pain at the same time?I kept going…I said, Don’t let trauma turn into theology.” Just because you experienced it wrong… doesn’t mean it can’t be done right.” Because when God is actually in something…
it’s not confusing…it’s not constantly breaking you…
There’s peace with it. 🧩✨

She started tearing up…Right there… in the store.
And she said, So you’re saying… it wasn’t God that failed me?” I said, No ma’am… God didn’t fail you…
a man made a choice… and his character couldn’t sustain his covenant.” And I told her this… And if you keep believing ‘all men cheat’…”you’ll start tolerating behavior that confirms that belief.” But when you heal…”your standards change… your discernment sharpens… and what you entertain… shifts.” I said, God is not asking you to go back to what hurt you He’s inviting you to heal… so you can recognize what’s whole.”

Man… when I tell you… something lifted off of her. Her posture changed. Her face softened.bIt was like she came in carrying years of weight… and left that aisle… lighter. She looked at me and said, “I think I’ve been blaming God for something He didn’t do.” I said, “That’s what pain will do if you don’t process it properly.” We prayed right there… in the store. Just God… doing what He does. And before she left, she said something I won’t forget… She said,

“I think I can believe again.”

Listen to me… 👀🔥 Don’t let one broken experience…
convince you that God’s design is broken. Because when God does it… it’s not perfect because people are perfect…It’s whole…because He is in it. 💍✨

We cannot place responsibility on another of what God gave us to steward.
If loss or damage occurs because we left the duty of stewardship to someone else....we are responsible for it.
Just ask Adam.

Write down your dreams.
Do not ignore what you see in them especially concerning (your) children.
Rebuke the “identities” the enemy attempts to project upon them.
Renounce the “conditions” they are presented as having in the dream.
Cancel every lie & false narrative the enemy tries to establish concerning them in your dreams.
Declare over them….What thus saith The Lord!
The enemy seeks agreement or worse for us to be complicit concerning the future generations of the Lord's kings, priests, and spiritual warriors in the Earth.
The enemy does not play fair. He plays for keeps, legally, especially when we are ignorant of spiritual law.
STAND in your authority as a parent.
STAND in the gap as an Intercessor.
PRAY for the children.
COVER the children with the Blood of Jesus Christ.
DECREE God’s Word over them and their lives because His Word will not fall to the ground.

from William Winfield

“Yoga isn’t bad…” they say.

But the problem is not stretching.

The problem is what it’s rooted in.

Most people don’t realize this, but yoga is not just physical movement.

The word “yoga” comes from the Sanskrit root “yuj”, which means to yoke, to unite, to join yourself to something spiritually.

So the real question is not:

“Is stretching bad?”

The real question is:

What are you yoking yourself to?

Because biblically, being yoked is never neutral.

Jesus said in Matthew 11:

“Take MY yoke upon you…”

Meaning there are other yokes competing for your soul.

Now here’s where it gets deeper.

Yoga was never originally designed as exercise.

It was designed as a spiritual practice within Hinduism, a religion that acknowledges hundreds of millions of deities (often described as 330 million / 33 crore gods).

And many of the poses people casually perform today were never meant to be neutral positions…

They were meant to be acts of honor, alignment, or invocation toward specific deities.

For example:

Natarajasana commonly known as the “dancer pose.”

This posture is directly connected to Shiva, one of the central gods in Hindu belief.

The name “Nataraja” means “Lord of the Dance” in Sanskrit.

This pose represents and reflects Shiva’s cosmic dance, which in Hindu theology symbolizes:

Destruction
Recreation
Reincarnation
The cycle of death and rebirth

So when someone performs that posture within its original spiritual framework…

They are not just stretching.

They are mirroring and identifying with a deity’s nature and role.

Now pause and think.

The Bible is very clear about this:

1 Corinthians 10:20–21

“I do not want you to be participants with demons… You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too.”

Scripture does not treat spiritual practices as neutral.

It teaches that behind false worship are real spiritual influences.

This is why God commanded in Exodus 20:

“You shall have no other gods before Me.”

So this is not about fear.

This is about discernment.

Because in today’s culture, things are repackaged.

Spiritual practices are rebranded as “wellness.”
Ancient worship is repackaged as “fitness.”
Spiritual alignment is disguised as “relaxation.”

But the root still matters.

Jesus didn’t say just live free.

He said:

“Be yoked to Me.”

Because whatever you yoke yourself to…

You come into agreement with.

And many people are unknowingly opening doors spiritually…

While calling it harmless.

This is why the believer must be wise.

Not everything that feels peaceful is from God.

Not everything that looks harmless is neutral.

And not everything labeled “fitness” is just physical.

Because at its core…

Yoga is about union.

So the real question remains:

What are you being united with?
