About the Founding Editor A true loyalist of the Sovereign Lord, Sadira’s intimacy with Him and the spirit realm spans back to her early childhood.

Being a prophet from her mother’s womb, seeing, hearing, knowing and experiencing God’s presence; power and person in her youth has caused her to always manifest exceptional wisdom, knowledge, insights and foresight that extend far beyond her natural experiences and education.

In ignorance, as a child, before coming to know she was a prophet, she presumed she may be an angel, seeing it was the only thing that made sense to her based on her immaturity and based on how God would use her.

At age 16, once born-again, she began learning, training and being groomed under the tutelage of her foundational father, Ulysses Tuff, an apostle who also operated very strongly in the prophetic.

At age 34, she married her husband, Keith Davis, also an apostle of Jesus Christ, who became her covering and a great contributor in spurring her on into destiny and purpose.

She has been in public ministry for 13 years now and has ministered across the United States, in India and Europe. She has mentored many and ministered to many leaders in various other parts of the world as well, through technology, fortifying their foundations as needed. Additionally, she’s done many trainings specifically on the prophetic. Dedicated to the advancement of the Kingdom of God, restoring purity and honor to the prophet’s office and building the body of Christ in spiritual protocols; soundness in their doctrinal understanding and in their souls (heart, mind, and emotions) is her passion.

Being conscientious is second nature, yet her tenderheartedness, tact and genuine love for all humanity has afforded her the opportunity to touch and transform many lives throughout her life: from prostitutes and pimps to politicians and preachers.

Her nurturing, protective, “motherly” love is often felt in her warm demeanor. Respectively, she is known for her explicit candor and advocacy for truth, righteousness, and justice.

In 2014, she authored and published her first work, the memoir, A Tale of True Love – Finding Your Mate God’s Way. In 2018, she had the privilege of being a participating author in the published anthology Junia Arise: Apostolic Women on the Frontlines.

DECEMBER 2022 | ISSUE 10

In April 2008, she was publicly affirmed and prophesied over by Pastor Benny Hinn, who commanded the crowd present and those watching by livestream to remember her face and saying by the Spirit of the Lord, “As a mighty prophet, God will use you to be an example, to be a standard and guidepost in the endtimes and like Agabus, you will prophesy the future.”

Having received the mantle of a scribe, she has committed to obey God in writing and publishing many works both in the near and distant future with the purpose of strengthening and supporting the body of Christ. As an apostolic prophet having a global ministry, God has plans to use her greatly for “such a time as this” in the earth.

About the Founding Editor...

Sadira is also a wife and a mother of 7 children, (4 biological and 3 bonus; of which 5 of the 7 are adults), and she has two granddaughters and one grandson.

She currently leads Discipleship Trainings, Bible Studies, and other educational courses and conferences under Sadira Davis Ministries based in Mesa, Arizona.

THE MIND CHANGING: 7 STEPS TO TRUE REPENTANCE BY: APOSTLE JOHN B. WALKER AVAILABLE ON

FIT

FOR THE

ASSIGNMENT There’s a mandate to break “Poverty” on the earth however, let's not limit poverty to just finances. One area of poverty that we, as the people of God, need to break is what I call Physical Poverty.

If we define the word “Poverty” it literally means: the state of being “extremely poor”, it means the lack of something! Why does it seem that the body of Christ is lacking in the area of “health” we are anointed, but many of us have poor health!

Physical poverty is the lack of health, not knowing how to become healthy in order to be Fit for the Assignment!! I believe in supernatural healing but God is also releasing to us an intelligence and resources to sustain our healing.

We’ve all heard the story about Joseph in the Bible going from the “Pit to the Palace”. However, Joseph had to OUTLIVE the STRESSORS of LIFE that tried to kill him PHYSICALLY , MENTALLY ,and SPIRITUALLY!!! Could you imagine Joseph in the Pit with high blood pressure or obesity issues?

It took 13 YEARS for Joseph to walk in his PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT!!! ARE We HEALTHY ENOUGH TO OUTLIVE the obstacles of Life in order to see our Prophetic promises fulfilled? Or is the enemy trying to cut your years short with Hypertension and Diabetes!!

Kingdom influencers it’s time to BREAK The GENERATION CURSES of sickness and disease SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY! Praise God that there has been intercession made for us to be healthy! The Bible says in 3 John 2: ”Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers”.

-3 John 2 New King James Version (NKJV) The author is making intercession for the believers to prosper in all things and be healthy physically and emotionally. Your soul is the “seat of your emotions” and Prosperity is the opposite of Poverty!!

So in order for our soul to prosper, we need to be healthy emotionally, mentally and physically. As tripartite beings, we are body, soul, and spirit that God has strategically intertwined each component.

So when one component is off it has the potential to impact the other.

Stress can literally kill you if you don’t properly address it. This is why we need to address the “total man”, mind, body and spirit!!

As an Apostle, certified Personal trainer, Nutritionist, and herbs and supplements specialist, I know the importance of exercising the body and eating healthy!

Exercise increases your blood flow which means that your heart is pumping oxygen to your brain, muscles, and tissues faster. It also promotes the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and natural endorphins that will make you feel better and more energized. Even moderate exercise can improve your energy levels!

The Apostle Paul tells us not to be ignorant of satan’s devices (2 Corinthians 2:11) A device is something he uses to take advantage of us. I truly believe the enemy has strategically used “unhealthy habits” to try to take advantage of us because he knows that Certain doors will open for us because of health and favor!

Daniel was hand picked by the King during a time of captivity because he was healthy!! This was just the beginning of many promotions for him!

“Select only strong, healthy, and good-looking young men,” he said. “Make sure they are well versed in every branch of learning, are gifted with knowledge and good judgment, and are suited to serve in the royal palace. Train these young men in the language and literature of Babylon.”

- Daniel 1:4 New Living Translation Let us shift from being so concerned about a “church building” and let us take care of our “temple bodies” so that we can be Fit for the Assignment!

NO MORE LOSSES By: Belinda S. Allen The team was ahead in the 1st and second quarter of their game, their hard work had paid off and they were dominating. The team had lost the first two games of the season and were determined to improve their skills in hopes of making it to the playoffs, and now they were their playing for the trophy. There willingness to improve their skills and work together as a team were evident. Playing the 4 time state champion team, was the opposition and they were playing to win. The fourth quarter seem to come so quickly however they maintained their 10 point lead. With the best players back in the game the crowd was going crazy, cheering them on. With only 5 minutes left in the game, swoosh-- 3 points, a foul, 2 free throws, another 3 point shot, a technical foul, a steal, 3 points again, and game over. The 4 time state champions had come back for the win.

I thought hard work paid off, how did they lose when they worked so hard to get a win? How could they had avoided this loss?

I looked across the stadium and they were crying with fits of joy and displaying honor and love towards the team that they had just loss against. Something was wrong. I looked back at the score and then back at the team hugging their coach and yelling out the team's name with inner joy. Did I mistaken the win? I looked around me and their fans were doing the same, but why was I so distraught when everyone else around me were so full of joy. I was confused until I realized that the team was celebrating their win, not of the game, but of perspective. This was the first time in history that the team had made it to the playoffs.

Loss is inevitable but perspective is everything. Loss is a mindset, a way in which we process, as well as a feeling we wrestle with, when something doesn't go according to planned. The challenge is in learning to turn your feeling of loss into moments to learn by celebrating a perceptive win. Teachable moments are embedded in every encounter. Switch on your brain's ability to cope and overcome by changing how you look at your obstacles. Don't give in, to the trap of disappointment, instead choose your feelings, you have the power to feel, accept, process, and learn.

When we welcome destiny, we accept our inability to control everything and we welcome the mental challenge, to learn to overcome emotionally through our experiences. You can choose your emotions. Loss experiences, must have defining moments that have to be put in perspective that "All things work together for the good...Eventually!

----PONDER Loss can become a means to an end or the beginning of a new way. Loss is relative, and becomes a mindset that manifest your greatest fear if you don't manage your thoughts. It becomes common place when we master the art of discipline and highlight the truth of becoming, that our mind learn to adjust. We learn to give up control because we know that it's God, that is in control. Be willing to alter your perception to maneuver with unexpected challenges.

DECLARE My mind is being renewed and my perception is being altered by the Holy Spirit. I receive the truth that even when I feel I've loss, I will gain knowledge, accepting that, I win with gaining understanding your plan is good and evil. I declare I will not be moved and I won't be shaken by life's challenges but I will be stable and content in every outcome, knowing that all things work together for my good.

PRAY My God, who knows all and see all help me to accept the things that I can't change and help me change my perception of my experiences. Lord teach me your ways and unite my heart to fear your name only, Lord let me not be afraid to fail or fear loss. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Owning our Royal Nobility in God: The Connection between US and the PEACOCK. We can achieve integrity and beauty when we endeavor to show our "true colors." From ancient times until now, the peacock has intrigued mankind and reminded us of God’s flawless creative skills in everything He has made. The beauty of its feathers and the confidence and pride displayed, as it walks in great display of the glory of its creator, is empowering. Observing the peacock can stir us and rejuvenate our own self-esteem levels. What you may not know is that the peacock has many great symbolic traits. Many of these vary throughout different cultures, but all of them are noteworthy for us as we relish in God’s reminder of our royalty and value.

The peacock symbolizes:

★ Regality ★ Nobility ★ Glory ★ Holiness ★ Vibrancy ★ Attraction ★ Awakening ★ Spirituality ★ Guidance ★ Watchfulness ★ Vision ★ Expression ★ Protection ★ Freedom ★ Renewal ★ Resurrection

In Christianity the peacock represents the “all-seeing church," along with the holiness and sanctity associated with it.

Mary Magdalene

AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST

(EXCERPT FROM JUNIA ARISE - WOMEN ON THE FRONTLINES ANTHOLOGY)

Romans 5:17 (AMP) “For if by the trespass of the one (Adam/Eve), death reigned through the one (Adam/Eve), much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in [eternal] life through the One, Jesus Christ [and his bride: those who carry His gospel].

In this great hour of awakening and anticipation for the greatest harvest of all time God is calling us higher in the knowledge of His will, plans, and purposes. I know that over the years some, like Paul, have felt restrained from teaching on many things due to the carnality and the infantile state of the church at large (Heb. 5:11-14; 1Cor. 3:1-5). However, now is the time for all the scales to be removed from the eyes of the church (ekklesia) so that we might forge ahead in power possessing the whole earth for the glory of God. In Genesis 1:26 “God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let THEM [male and female] have dominion [reign] over ... all the earth [but not one another].” As with everything that was made in the earth, women also came forth from the heart of God, and were filled with purpose and leadership. In verse 28 of Genesis 1, we see this as they were both “commissioned” with the assignment to “be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion”. In this chapter, I intend to enlighten you on the apostolic commission given specifically to Mary Magdalene, and the key role she played in the restoration of woman's equal place in being ambassadors of the kingdom of heaven.

In the framework of Jesus’ ministry we see in almost every encounter that he had with women he capitalized it to remove the stigma and misogynistic ideologies around women being treated and regarded as less than men, sinful, sexualized, and as property. We see these women being uniquely empowered as fully equal and worthy to carry out their initial godly commission. His ministry to and with Mary Magdalene was not different, but it unlike the others set a tremendous precedence for women called to apostolic ministry. Let’s examine the scriptures for specific clarification of this. In Luke 8:1-3 is where we see the reference of Mary’s encounter and note hers along with several other women’s active roles in Jesus’ ministry. Mary experienced deliverance of seven devils and the infirmities that they were causing in her life. The usage of the number seven infers that she was in complete bondage, yet the deliverance of seven represents full purification and consecration (Easton, M.G.).

Her faithful commitment and followship of Jesus would be attributed to this great liberation.

Going forward Mary Magdalene showed herself to be one the most faithful disciples and later apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ. She never left his side even when her life could have been in jeopardy, and was obedient as a true son/ambassador, unlike Peter who denied the Lord thrice when feeling threatened or Judas who was drawn away by lust.

The resurrected Christ represents the "door" for all humanity to re-enter their pre-sin state of Gen. 1:26; being "born-again" (Jn. 10:9 & Jn. 3:3). What has been overlooked is the full significance of the risen Christ's first encounter being with Mary Magdalene. Understand that the resurrected Christ also represents the "new testament" the “revised or restored order” (Heb 10:9; Rom. 5:18; 2Cor. 5:17). This encounter was the climax of all the previous encounters he had concerning women, and here he affirms it by appearing in resurrected form before Mary Magdalene, commissioning and affirming her, and then sealing the eyes of the twelve that there would be no doubt of God’s choice to use women in leadership. In John 20:17-18 “Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to

my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.” However, based on the continued opposition and rejection of women in leadership we know that this spiritual transaction, of Mary and the risen Christ, has certainly been disregarded. This was her first act as an apostle and denotes an emphatic restoration of equality first and specifically to the very twelve men that he also chose to be his apostles. Christ rebukes them for NOT believing; both what the apostle [apostolos /sent one/Mary Magdalene] had said and what had been prophesied (concerning his death and resurrection, that God’s spirit would equally be upon ALL flesh both sons and daughters as in Genesis, etc.). Let’s look at the scripture in Luke 24 with the Holy Spirit’s breath upon them for new revelation: Luke 24:15-16, 25, 30-31 (KJV) “15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 16 But their eyes were holden [restrained/seized by the Lord] that they should not know him... 25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:... 30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

(AMP) “15 While they were talking and discussing it, Jesus Himself came up and began walking with them. 16 But their (eyes were [miraculously] prevented from recognizing Him...

25 Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish men, and slow of heart to trust and believe in everything that the prophets have spoken!... 30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

This act of the resurrected Christ “breaking bread” or a fresh covenant with the men to cleanse their hearts, minds, and egos from the stains of sin and their misogynistic ideas and behaviors is what the Lord wants to do with all of us. We have allowed the “traditions of men” and societal norms to supersede kingdom standards. Men were never to have dominion over women nor women to have it over men. However, in the fear of the Lord both men and women are to execute any and all orders and commissions given by the Lord to be carried out in the earth. These scriptures remove any doubts about whether women have been apostles and/or apostolic.

Let’s recap this revelation in simple terms: • Women, including specifically Mary Magdalene, were in fact disciples; and apostolic believers of Jesus Christ • Mary Magdalene served as “proxy” for women to be fully restored in their place of dominion free from the inhibition of men, and we see her preceding several other women apostles in the New Testament (i.e. Junia and Priscilla)

• The resurrected Christ is the sure and only “door” for our entrance into a restored life of power, dominion, and apostolic (ambassadorial) living • Diligence in discipleship is the foundation of sonship/apostolic living. Every believer can and should mature and reach this level; being apostolic.

• To be apostolic is to be aligned with the doctrine of the apostles (Christ being chief) and to be carriers of the kingdom (liberating others from sin sickness, spiritual death, poverty, and the bonds of Satan) (Mark 16:17-18).

• To be an apostle is to have a direct commission from the Lord coupled with heavenly wisdom, knowledge, power, an aggregate authority level, and often a direct physical visitation or encounter with the risen Lord.

The great Sojourner Truth’s favorite quote targets the foolish thought processes that would keep women restrained from leading, it states that “if the first woman God ever made was strong [influential] enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women [of faith] together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again!

And now they [are positioned] to do it, the men [need to gracefully] let them.” (Wallace 2015)

Prayer Father in the name of Jesus, we renounce and pull down every stronghold that would prevent us from viewing women in leadership through your eyes and plans. We embrace your will and release ourselves to move into actions that partner with this revelation and understanding concerning apostolic women being on the frontlines executing your will in the earth with full heavenly clearance. (2Cor. 10:4-6; Rom. 12:2)

Closing Scripture Colossians 1:25-27 (AMP) “In this church [body] I was made a minister according to the stewardship which GOD entrusted to me for your sake, so that I might make the word of God fully known..., the mystery which was hidden [from angels and mankind] for ages and generations, but has now been revealed to His saints. God [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them... the riches of the glory of this mystery: WHICH IS CHRIST IN AND AMONG [US: both men and women]...

Dr. Elizabeth Livengood

"Do not be anxious about anything, "said Paul in Philippians 4:6.

“Easier said than done,” we instinctively reply.

Yet this inspired instruction comes through the mouth of a man who knew real stress! His list of challenges in 2 Corinthians 11:23-29 include physical scrapes with death, financial ruin, unplanned weather and natural disasters, betrayal and slander to his character, the mental stress of being “constantly on the move”, temptation and the spiritual pain of his concern for the churches. He knew every type of stressor.

So how could he say, “Do not be anxious about anything”?

The secret lies in what he said before and after that command. “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” [Philippians 4:4] It’s difficult to worry and complain when we’re busy rejoicing two times over. This won’t make our stressors disappear, but it will shift our focus to things that are going well, to our abundance, and to the blessings and hope that come from God. Life is a constant mix of “good and bad” or “easy and difficult”. The key is to find things to be joyful about. Use your imagination and polish your optimism if necessary. As a doctor, I can assure you that this will also ward off depression which is a known risk factor for heart disease. Next he said, “Let your gentleness be evident to all.” [Philippians 4:5] Gentleness is one of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, which we can nurture by “following the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.”

[Galatians 5:22-25]. King Solomon said in Proverbs 15:1 that “A gentle answer turns away wrath.” In contrast, an anxious person may be short-tempered, quick to anger, and burdened with a heavy heart. [Proverbs 12:25] We need to develop the fruit of gentleness just like we do any other skill: with practice and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

And then we arrive at the pinnacle of this exhortation. "THE LORD IS NEAR. BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING." The Lord is near.

What else compares to that? An unexpected bill or health

Stress and Perception... issue? An unkind word? A mistake we made? A delay or change in our plans? Take a deep breath. Hear the silence.

“Be still and know that I am God.” Proverbs 46:10 “God is our refuge and strength; an ever present help in time of trouble.” Proverbs 46:1 “The Lord is near.” Philippians 4:5 “My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:2 The creator of the universe and everything in it, including you, is ever-present. He sees you. He hears you. He knows your troubles, stressors and worries. He’s got you under his wing. When you breathe this into your cells and begin to accept it as truth, you have begun the magnificent transformation of your perspective.

Even the most cerebral neuroscientists understand that “stressors” are subjective and therefore their impact on our physical and mental health is almost entirely dependent on our perspective. For example, one person may perceive a new job as an overwhelming challenge while another may look at the same event as wonderful opportunity. One person may view a physical illness as their doom while another rejoices in the opportunity to rest and rely on the healing hand of God. This is not to diminish the dire nature of certain human events and circumstances. Grief is real. Illness is a menace. Abuse is detestable. John recorded the words of Jesus, telling us that we will have trouble in this world. But we know that Christ has overcome the world. [John 16:33]. The key to tapping into His victory is to “not conform to the pattern of this world, but be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind”. [Romans 12:2]. We have to change the filters of our perspectives in order to renew our minds and allow the Holy Spirit to grant us gentleness and peace in the midst of life’s challenges.

Once we have begun the transformation of our perspective and the renewal of our mind, then the words following this great exhortation become a clear and simple directive. They tell us how to face our challenges without stress or anxiety: “In everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” We have to pray! This takes time and focus. We have to ask! Make your needs known. Jesus said in Matthew 7:7, “Ask and it shall be given to you” and again in John 14:13, “I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.” We have to include our thanks as a step of faith. We have to actually believe that Jesus will do what He said He will do. Thank Him in advance and accept His answer to your petitions. Visualize your conversation with Him and imagine how it feels to receive His loving provisions for all you need. Thank Him for it while you pray.

Then the miracle will happen. You will be able to go through the Valley of the Shadow of Death while being “anxious for nothing.” The blessing that ends this hope-filled paragraph promises us that “The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7.

MICKELL BLAKE Mickell Blake was introduced to God and the church “back home” in the great city of Chicago where she was born and raised. With a love for dance from her youth, Minister Mickell Blake found herself drawn to the ministry of the arts. In 2008, God strategically connected her with a local group and she was invited to manage a team of mimers.

Simultaneously she became a thespian and began learning all aspects of the theater.

By 2010, with the support and encouragement from her Apostolic leaders who discerned what God was doing in her life, she birthed the Mime of a Worshipper Ministry. Apostle Dr Renaldo and Angela Morgan have helped push her into the fullness of what God had for her. To date, Minister Mickell ministers in three main types of mime: worshipful, prophetic, and warring. Although mime is still not embraced in all churches she has given God a full yes and releases herself to be used

by HIM wherever He sends her.

As of 2018 Minister Mickell became a resident of Phoenix, Arizona and has supported various ministries in the metro area.

PERSONIFIED PRAISE DANCE MINISTRY As members of Faith River International, Personified Praise Dance Ministry is a “non compromise dance ministry” that works as an outlet for all those who desire to praise God through dance; to create and promote an atmosphere of praise and worship through our ministry. We dedicate our lives and bodies as a living sacrifice to give God all honor and glory according to Romans 6:13 (NLT) “Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin.

Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have a new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.” Our vision is to minister to the hearts of people interpreting God’s word while touching the hearts of those who do not know Him and draw them closer to Christ. It is our mission to go outside the four walls of the church and impact lives in such a way that we enlighten lost souls to come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior, leaving them with a desire to be in His presence while giving them the opportunity to discover and develop a relationship with Him We dance to celebrate, worship and praise God, our Father, through the leading of the holy spirit.

Dance has the power to convey a message that cannot be expressed through words alone, when going forth our ministry is careful of song selection to assure we are expressing God's message to His people while striving to draw in our peers so that they may be inspired to be used

by God. It is our prayer that through our ministry: spiritual chains are broken, freedom in praise and worship is attained, and inspiration, strength and encouragement are received.

Here are the foundational scriptures that we use as guidance to keep our focus aligned on the importance of our ministry: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance (Psalm 149: 2-3) Show divine revelation through movement with the Truth of the Word! (Revelation 19:10) To create an environment of worship, so one can enter the presence of the Lord. (Psalm 134:2) To communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ to reach the lost. (1 John 1:7) To expose and destroy the works of the enemy through worship.(2 Samuel 22:4) Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.

For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. (Psalm 149:34)

Mothering Gone Awry Prophetess Sadira Davis | Summer 2022 From the time of Eve and the entrance of sin all things with mankind were perverted, distorted, and taken out of the way of God. Mothering is no exception. Mothers play a very special role as “birthing beings” that have bodies designed to nurture, protect, and house a whole new life until the time they enter the earth. However, depending on the soul of that woman her ability to raise the child might not be the kind of exceptional that we want to write home about. In this article I want to share a few “mommy behaviors” that might not be so appealing, but with the Holy Spirit’s help we can identify them and pray for change whether in our own lives as mothers or in the life of a mother we know, maybe even our own.

● The Controller - This mom type is often forged through many personal hurts, pains, and disappointments: difficulties that cause her to be “over protective” to a point where she’s driven by control. Contrary to opinion she’s not really all bad she’s just scared. Fear has driven her to try to assume the role of God both in her own life and in the lives of all those she touches, including and especially her children. She loves them, it just looks distorted because it is, it is an unhealthy love language. Pray for her healing...

● The Non-Nurturing - This mom is also a victim of her circumstances. She has become

numb from her own lack of being nurtured, likely some levels of abuse, and high criticism and disappointments. She’s not nurturing because honestly she doesn’t know how to be, and where some pick up the torch and learn she’s just too afraid to become vulnerable enough to feel at that level when her history says that’s just not the safe thing to do. Pray for her healing...

● The Jealous and/or Vicariously Living Through You - This mom is often an interesting mix of emotions. She can sometimes find herself battling bouts of jealousy which are

rooted in her OWN unhappiness with her life and choices or some would argue it's the “cards she was dealt.” Jealousy is “cruel as the grave” according to Song of Solomon 8:6, it’s the painful feeling that someone has gotten something you deserve, and it steals the joy and contentment that one should normally have with where they are in their journey of life. However, the power of a mother’s love for her child, as well as mental “self preservation” can often flip this emotion to feelings of joy and fulfillment by imagining their life is yours, to a degree. Vicariously living through the life and experiences of the child. I want to say this is not all bad, but it is an indication that there are still unhealed issues within the mother and a need to set one’s own personal goals and reach them to feel the true joys of a life well lived. Still... pray for her healing...

Mothering Gone Awry... ● The Overcompensator - This mom is riddled with guilt. Guilt for her decisions in life, often extremely hard on herself, also very often trying to compensate for what they believe should be done by an absent or incompetent father. She means well, but too often becomes more of a stumbling block for the child than the absence of what she thinks is the “perfect elements” that are missing. The Bible says in Proverbs 13:24, “whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.” In Proverbs 29:15 it says, “the rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.” Both of these scriptures seem far fetched if you are an overcompensator because you think you’ve not “withheld discipline” BUT the truth is the overcompensating cancels it out. It causes a “child left to himself” in that their desires are steering the relationship though you may offer some levels of discipline in the mix. This behavior is rooted in low self-esteem, feelings of unworthiness and heavy guilt. She really is well meaning. Pray for her healing...

These are some of the main mother types we see, though there are many others. Our acknowledgment of them is not to invoke guilt or condemnation, rather to invite you to empathy. To take a moment and see mothers as women, as sisters who have valid feelings, have their own set of life experiences they’re navigating through, and that need the healing power of Christ to heal their lives. Women are such powerful beings, having been graciously endowed with so many unique characteristics from the Father. We must practice celebrating each other and healing each other with love and compassion. Selah.

Why Mental Health Is So Important: A Briefing on Trauma

BY: PROPHETESS SADIRA DAVIS

To some, this may come unexpected, seem lame, or even cliche; but mental health awareness and soul healing is a big part of my life's purpose. I literally grew up training for it, living with a mom who was mentally ill. My mom was originally diagnosed schizophrenic, but later more clearly diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. I lived with and observed family dysfunction from an “assessment viewpoint” and expanded to do so in the entirety of my sphere. Very early on God would talk to me about human behavior, teach me techniques for healing, and then would direct those to me that needed healing. Literally, I have helped people with all kinds of soul issues, of all ages and from all walks of life throughout my entire life. Surely I was called to be a “repairer of the breach” according to Isaiah 58:12. I am a repairer of the breaches in the heart, soul, and minds of men.

We are triune beings: we are a spirit first and foremost, with a soul (heart/mind/intellect/will/emotions), living in a body (it is our earth suit). Each part is vital to our existence and is impacted by the other interconnected parts. For example, stress and lack of rest weakens the body’s immune system. The soul, when it experiences trauma (deeply distressing/disturbing experiences), responds like a wall that has been hit with a grenade or bomb. It literally creates a “hole” or tear in the soul and the “breach'' is now a vulnerability for “germs” or demonic (evil/harmful) influences to enter uninhibited [freely] and undetected. This is why soul treatment and “self-care” are so vitally important. If a person does not do the work to heal, process, and protect their soul from having wounds and openings then they will be prone to mental illness, bad behaviors, and demonic exploitation or possession. We are instructed to “work out [live out and perfect (mature)] your soul [emotional/mental/intellectual] salvation [deliverance/freedom/liberty from old ways of thinking/ feeling/being] with fear and trembling [awe and reverence for God and His grace (power) that enables us to do it] (Phil 2:12).”

For the record, all trauma is not equal. There are various types of trauma with different levels of impact and severity. It can be a single incident (death, divorce, etc.) a chronic or repeated trauma like abuse (i.e physical, emotional, sexual, etc.), THE SANITY SOURCE | SUMMER 2022 EDITION

Why Mental Health Is So Important: A Briefing on Trauma (continued) or complex trauma which is constantly varied traumatic events (i.e. sickness, job loss, emotional abuse, etc). One thing about trauma is the more you have them and the longer they are undealt with the more susceptible one is to becoming a “breeding place” or “attraction magnet” to traumatizing circumstances. Trauma is often the bridge to mental disorders. However, we have been given grace to live in God’s divine ways.

While trauma is something that all mankind experiences, God has a remedy. What is the single most important and highest commandment of God? Love. Love really is the answer, believe it or not. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND...and the second is like unto it, Thou SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF (Matt. 22:37-39).” This high seat, this premier power place called love is ALSO A BRIDGE! While trauma is the bridge towards damage and destruction of the soul, LOVE is the bridge towards healing, life, and liberty of the soul.

This is why it is so important to ‘walk in love’. Love is not about warm fuzzies on the inside. Walking in love is posturing oneself to be a bridge for a person to see and experience God through you. To be a ‘benefactor’ as the Lord himself who is chief.

God IS love: God is a BENEFACTOR meaning everything flowing from Him is good, healing, life bearing (1 John 4:16). If you’ve ever read the product Neosporin ointment it says, “used to treat minor wounds, to help prevent or treat mild skin infections, and usually causes wounds to heal faster (key word emphasis mine). Love is the “neosporin” for the soul. Romans 5:5b says, “the love of God has been shed abroad [poured out] into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.” So God has smeared His love inside us to aid our ongoing need of soul healings and to enable us to be conduits for healing in others: he made us to be lovers.

To this end I have lived my entire life, loving people to life from all manner and types of soul wounds and traumas. Love coupled with the word of God (and/or the principles therein) wash away the scars and effects of trauma making for a renewed building [person] with a fresh bridge for love to flow through again.

Here are a few ways to get started today in your own personal rebuilding and healing process:

Why Mental Health Is So Important: A Briefing on Trauma (continued) 1. SUPPORT: Don’t isolate. We need strength and good processing tools from others (therapists, life coaches, healthy family and friends).

2. INTENTIONALITY: Manual processing of life’s happenings rather than defaulting to the trauma responses. Retrain the mind with the word of God (scripture), prayers, and positive affirmations.

3. EXERCISE: Get moving. As well as burning off adrenaline and releasing endorphins, exercise and movement can actually help repair your nervous system.

4. REFOCUS: Shift your attention. You know the saying, “what you water [attend to] will grow.” Shifting your attention FROM the trauma and onto LIVING, enjoying life, learning new things, having fun, and creating new good memories does wonders to healing the soul. Philippians 4:8 (paraphrased) says, "Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of a good report think on [focus on] these things."
