What If It’s Not the Enemy… But Old Trauma Surfacing Before the Breakthrough?

By Vera M| Boldly Becoming Blog Let me ask you something. What if the delays and disruptions in your life aren’t just spiritual warfare? Yes—we do have an enemy. The Bible is clear about that. But what if what you're facing right now isn’t an attack… What if it’s a healing opportunity? What if the very thing that looks like a setback… is actually the setup? Could This Be the Clean-Up Before the Breakthrough? Recently, I found myself facing what looked like yet another disappointment. You know the kind—the "this is it!" moment that suddenly crashes, leaving you confused, bruised, and wondering if you're the problem. But instead of spiraling this time, I heard something different in my spirit: ✨ What if this isn’t the enemy fighting you… what if it’s trauma surfacing so it can be healed before the blessing lands? Sis… what if the heartbreak, the delay, the emotional flare-up, the sudden fear or sabotage wasn’t punishment—but preparation? What if God is not denying you b...

Maybe It Wasn’t “It”… But It Was a Sign That “It” Exists 💫

By Vera M| Boldly Becoming Blog Have you ever thought you had finally received the promise—only for it to turn out to be something else? Maybe it was a relationship that looked like the one. Maybe it was an opportunity, a friendship, a message from someone that made your heart skip a beat, a potential door swinging wide open—only for it to slam shut. And in that moment, it felt like the universe or God was playing a cruel joke. But what if… it wasn’t a joke? What if what you experienced was a sign—not of deception, but of confirmation? Your Expectations Are Not Wrong—They’re A Sign of What’s Coming There’s a verse that says, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45) Another one says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7) These scriptures remind us that what’s inside us creates the world around us. Your inner beliefs, your thoughts, your heart posture—they all shape your perception and your experience. So when something shows up that looks lik...

When the Heart Distorts the View: Why What’s Inside Shapes Everything Outside

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” – Matthew 12:34 “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” – Proverbs 23:7 There’s a reason God spends so much time on the heart. It’s not just the pumping organ keeping us alive — it's the center of how we see, speak, and live. Everything flows from there. And here's the truth: what's happening outside of us is a mirror of what's happening inside.  1. Nothing Is Created Outside — All Is Created From Within When we look at our lives — the quality of our relationships, our work, even our connection with God — it’s all being filtered through the lens of the heart and mind. A distorted view inside leads to distortion outside. If I believe I’m unworthy of love, I’ll attract people who treat me like I’m disposable. If I see God as harsh or distant, I’ll always feel like I’m praying to someone who is disinterested. If I carry fear, I will create chaos. If I carry peace, I will create safety. Your inner world is the blueprint...

✨When You Find the WORD in the Struggle: It’s Proof God Was In It✨

✨ When You Find the WORD in the Struggle: It’s Proof God Was In It✨ How to Recognize Divine Orchestration in Painful Seasons 💭 Ever been through something that almost took you out… …but looking back, you realize God was in it the whole time? At the time, it felt confusing. Messy. Lonely. Maybe even unfair. But somewhere in the middle of the chaos, a Word dropped. A verse. A whisper. A shift in your heart. And just like that—you knew: “God is speaking. Even here.” That moment—when the Word collides with the struggle—is your proof. Proof that He was orchestrating all along. Proof that you were never alone. Proof that what looked like disaster was actually divine design. 📖 The Word in the Wilderness You see, the presence of the Word in your suffering is like finding water in the desert. Moses didn’t know the wilderness was God’s classroom. Joseph didn’t know the prison was the setup for the palace. And YOU didn’t know that your heartbreak, your silence, your waiting— Was heaven’s hidden...

Faith The Blueprint of Believing.

The Blueprint of Believing: Faith, Love, Hope, and Heaven’s Architecture We’ve all heard it: “Walk by faith, not by sight.” But what does that really mean when you’re waiting on a breakthrough, a promise, or a love story that doesn’t make sense yet? Let’s unpack the true mechanics of faith, love, and hope — the spiritual trio that aligns us with heaven’s architecture. 1 . Faith: The Currency and the Container Faith is not a vibe. It’s not just believing for a miracle; it’s the heavenly currency that exchanges invisible truths for visible results. Faith is the container — the spiritual vessel God looks for when He sends a word, promise, or vision. " Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” – Hebrews 11:1 When God shows you a glimpse of the future — whether it’s marriage, purpose, healing, or provision — faith is what holds that glimpse until it manifests. Without it, there’s no structure to carry what heaven is sending. It's like rain wi...

Wisdom Speaks Louder Than Status Abigail was married to Nabal, a man the Bible literally calls “harsh and evil in his dealings.” His name even means “fool.” And yet, in the same household, Abigail is described...

From a Moabite to Royalty

From a Moabite to Royalty Gods redemption plan From Moabite to Royalty: When God Doesn’t Care About Your Reputation There she stood, a stranger in a strange land. Dusty roads beneath her sandals, grief stitched into the folds of her robe, and a past that most would whisper about behind closed doors. Ruth, the Moabite woman, wasn’t born into favor. She came from a people with a scandalous reputation—descendants of Lot’s legacy, known for idolatry and shame. And yet, this is the woman God chose. This is the woman whose story would whisper eternity. Ruth didn’t belong in Bethlehem, but grace doesn’t ask for permission. She walked into her new life not with pride, but with purpose. And in the quiet fields of barley, under the watchful gaze of a man named Boaz, redemption began to bloom like a love song sung by heaven. Reputation Doesn’t Scare God The Moabites were considered unclean by Jewish standards (Deut. 23:3), yet Ruth’s heart carried something more powerful than her past: loyalty, h...
