The Purpose for the Pain is a reflection of From Pain to Purpose. It's a realization and understanding of the transition that takes place when God's handy work has been manifested through faithfulness to His word. It is evidence of how strong the power of God is that brings us out of our darkest moments into His marvelous light. It demonstrates how God answers prayers and that His promises are true that He will never leave us nor will He forsake us; that no weapon formed against us shall prosper; that He really does know the plans for our lives. He ordained us, sanctified us for His purpose and He orders our very steps and leads us to our destined places of fulfillment for the Great Commission that He has commanded to all of His children. Our trials and tribulations come to make us strong, but the caveat is that it's not for us to keep to ourselves. God has purposed us to go into all of the world and spread the good news of Jesus Christ of Nazareth; that He was born to be the Savior of the world; He lived so that we can live and become a new creature; He died to pay for and to save us from our sins, and He was resurrected that we may have an eternal relationship with God. He now sits on the right hand of our Father in heaven, interceding on our behalf that we may have life and have it more abundantly. The Purpose for the Pain is to allow God to birth new life in us over and over again so that we may be healed, delivered, set free, and restored unto Him and a testimony to others that they may be saved. Nevertheless, He keeps us from falling and gives us hope to continue by trusting, leaning, and growing in Him so that the purpose actually exceeds the pain. This book will reveal to you how the Holy Spirit will transform you from hurt and hopelessness to walking victoriously with God.

Recently Senetta decided to share her other hidden talents with the world through writing. She is elated that she can now add author and motivational speaker to her long list of achievements! Senetta is on her way to theAmazon Best Seller list with her first co-author collaboration, “Dear Superwoman” where she details experiences from her teens and twenties. She has already broken countless generational curses, achieved what some may not see as possible, and is determined to help others do the same. She hopes this book and others to come will inspire, motivate and even deter others by examining what she faced being raised in a single-parent home and straying away from God.
Since Senetta has learned to depend on God from a young age, it is no surprise that she has come full circle and found her way back to God. She is a true example of Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he [she] should go; even when he [she] is old he

The CERN Large Hadron Collider lies in a tunnel with a circumference of 17 miles. Apparently, moving very fast affects the tiniest microscopic particles. It's a fact no matter the size of a spinning object, those inside are affected.
Despite unheard-of speeds, everything on Earth remains in place. The waters do not congregate, the atmosphere is unaffected, and we can't feel anything. We accept ridiculous explanations that defy logic. The Bible repeatedly says the Earth sits on four corners and rests on pillars. The Word is ignored; we are told the Earth is a random insignificant planet racing through an expanding universe.
Science knows many facts about giants, underground civilizations, aliens, and other dimensions but hides them from gullible sheep. Label a truth a conspiracy, and it can be easily supplanted. Myths and fables were real to people of that Era. We are told these stories are fantasy and view them as simply entertainment.
Did ancient societies dedicate art and monuments to make-believe characters of poets? The buildings of extraordinary architecture were not superstitious simpletons. Mortals met mighty beings and interacted with creatures from other dimensions.
Pull back the curtain, see the truth open your mind, and question the lies. The Earth is the center of importance because the Creator placed us here. Peek inside the world of One Three Seven and ponder what They think of creation.
What if, when Satan rebelled, another angel championed humanity and fought against him? These two powerful children of God were male and female. They used their diverse gifts, knowledge, and wisdom to oppose each other. The planet was their chess board, and the people were their pawns.
Season One begins the epic journey into a reality when humans mix with Immortals. The continents were shattered, and countries and allegiances were forgotten. Information is freely shared in the shattered ruins of what man believes was the final World War.
News was finally accurate without propaganda, and truth was available to all. From the ashes of Ukraine, Superian Island is forged from the fires and displaced in the enchanted sea. Warrior Women are bigger, stronger, and faster than anything humanity has witnessed. Churches and cults worshiped them as the new gods.
Vexxton Sentar was a License Class B from the 31st Century. He knew there was something strange about the world; he had seen the Matrix. His godmother from the stars visited every week, and Vexxton was insane.
The combat master was handpicked for an expedition to Superian Island. Vex didn't believe 16-foot women existed. Finding lactating Warriors and returning with magical milk was ridiculous, but he was getting paid a fortune. Deep down, the retired cage fighter wished this was real. He had always been suicidal, and dying fighting a Warrior in battle would be an honorable way to depart.
