Have you seen God as a dictator; some supreme being that bosses us around like a drill sergeant; bringing down His gavel of punishment when we don't comply? I knew God loved me and I knew my sins were forgiven, yet I lived in an unhealthy fear of Him; afraid He would reprimand me, afraid to make a wrong decision, and afraid to do anything at all for fear he would withhold blessings. I saw Him as my master, not a good Daddy.

Fears Plaguing Believers about False Idols
The Lord has instructed me to address some matters of the heart that He takes very seriously; starting with holiday celebrations. It's often said that the most popular Christmas customs; including Christmas trees and mistletoe, are new age embodiments of pagan rituals. While it is true that Christmas originated from Pagan revelry, the only reason is because the Pagan's were worshiping the trees that they later brought into their homes and decorated. They were worshiping the trees.
Changing the Nation is Not Priority
There's too much concern about "changing the nation" and not enough concern about letting God change us as individuals. Only Jesus can do that, and He can only do it with those who allow Him to. Yes, even as believers, there are some who are not allowing God to change them; to grow their faith.
Who is Your Provider?
I've got some news for women; news that may shock and possibly even offend some of you, and here it is...YOUR HUSBAND IS NOT YOUR PROVIDER. Thankfully, this is not Carissa's news, it's the word of the Lord. Psalms 23:1 says it best; "THE LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack". THE Lord is the one who feeds me, guides me, and shields me.
