Mary’s story reminds us that saying ‘yes’ to God’s call isn’t always easy—but it always bears fruit. 🌟 When enemies encamp against you, trust that God surrounds you with angels, guiding and equipping you to stay on assignment.

Keep the faith. Bear your fruit. And trust that God will bear you up.

The distinction is clear: earthly leaders often falter. But Christ on the throne never will. This kingship transforms power into healing, flames into ministers, and wind into messengers.

God is able. God can take even the most destructive forces and breathe grace into them.

So, when earthly kings or leaders fail, remember: Christ enthroned is the only one worthy of our trust. This is the king who turns breaches into blessings and empowers us to do the same.

Babylon isn’t just a place—it’s a state of being. It’s what happens when we turn away from what’s right and let evil take root. But we’re called to resist, to cling to what is good, and to be miracle-workers in our time. Join us as we explore how to keep our communities from becoming Babylon. #FaithInAction #ResistEvil #ClingToGood #SpiritualResistance #ModernBabylon #JusticeAndMercy #CommunityMatters #HopeInDarkness #WalkingWithGod #TransformTheWorld

Some stories hit close to home. Bathsheba’s story is one of being seen but not heard, of being in a space she couldn't truly call her own. Yet through her unimaginable pain, God gave her unimaginable power. Bathsheba became the mother of Solomon and helped shape the kingdom alongside him, refusing to let her story end in tragedy.

Today, as we navigate our own challenging times, let’s remember: pain can be transformed. Where we feel broken, God is building something stronger. May we find the courage to turn our own pain into power. #FaithInAction #PainToPower #GodsGrace #Transformation #StrengthInScripture"
