T D Jakes is right on cue with this one! "Demons will tremble if faith ever gets outside the church, Hell will deteriorate if preaching ever leaves the pulpit. REVIVAL will hit our cities!" ~ T D Jakes We've got too comfortable and I believe that God wants to shake the very foundation of the Church walls until they fall down so people outside … [Read more...]

How many times have you received a word of knowledge or a prophecy over your life and though you feel blessed and honoured, at the same time you're asking, "can I really do this?

I would say, that of all the emails I receive from readers of Women of Influence, the prevailing concern is "I don't know what my purpose is, how do I find it?" And though this post isn't about finding your purpose , I will say this: Start with where you're at! My English teacher would probably frown at me for that last sentence but, I mean … [Read more...]

Ever justified your actions using this line ... "it's not my fault!" I confess, I have ... too many times in the past but I remember years ago, my manager used to say to me, "stop justifying Trish and take responsibility."

On the side wall of one of our stores, someone has defaced it with graffiti which says... "The Future is Unwritten." And I admit, I've used language in the past such as "you can write your own story," but the truth is that your future has already been written and it's an amazing story of happiness in every dimension! I have no idea what you're … [Read more...]

Living On Purpose Is More Than Being A "CopyCat" I don’t know about you, but I’m getting a little fed up with people telling me how to live my life - especially from the pulpit!

Who or what are you trying to be?
March 4, 2006 By Leave a Comment
I was reading a document created by a very dear friend yesterday and I was so blessed by one sentence in particular, which to me outlined the very foundation of living on purpose… "Can an acorn become a rose? A butterfly a sparrow? You cannot be anything you want to be, but you can be everything God wants you to be." Don’t let … [Read more...]
