What If I Die before I Overcome A Sin, Struggle or Addiction?
Sadly, Christians are not immune from sin, struggle and addiction.
After all, the Bible assures, “We all fall short of God’s glorious standard” (Romans 3:23).
This reality leads many to worry about what happens if they die before they overcome some vice.
In a recent conversation on “The Power of Grace to Overcome Sin,” I asked Dr. Andrew Farley about this. Hear his simple, freeing answer below. ⬇️
Did You See Me on Life Today?
On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to be on TV again.
I spoke candidly about my battle with insecurities, anxiety, fear and shame, and how God led me to deprogram my mind from the lies that influenced those battles.
Hundreds of thousands were reached!
Still, I know that many more didn’t catch the program on TV. That’s why I’m embedding it below.
In addition to my personal story, I also revealed:
- The sneaky way the enemy enters your mind using TRUTH
- Why the apostle Peter likened the devil to a lion
- The 4 steps to reprogram your mind to be more positive

A Love Letter from the Lord, Addressed to You
I received something from the Lord recently. He said, “it’s a love letter;” and it’s addressed to you.
(I encourage you to share this video with anyone you know who needs to hear that God loves them.)

A Practical Way and Prayer to Experience God’s Love
Love is in the air this week.
Then again, it always is. For God is love. And God is with us.
Did you know that God’s love is the key to healing and wholeness?
In his prayer for spiritual growth, the apostle Paul said: “May you experience the love of God … then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God” (Ephesians 3:19).
The question is: How do you experience God’s love?
Today, I offer you a practical way … and a prayer. Take a minute to watch. ⬇️
God Says: You May Stop Trying to Fix Yourself
I once believed there was so much about me that I needed to fix before I could do what I do today.
One of them was my personality.
I am an introvert.
I thought I needed to be an extrovert—to get better at things like praying aloud for people, street evangelism, or ministering to the person next to me on the airplane.
Despite my best efforts, I didn’t change much.
While I was frustrated, God opened my eyes to something the apostle Paul discovered on his faith journey. It came from a word from God.
It is the reason I stopped trying to fix myself. It is the reason you may stop trying to fix yourself, too. ⬇️

This’ll Set You Up for a Good Week
How to Feel Really Close to God
The Bible encourages, “Come close to God and He will come close to you” (James 4:8).
But if God lives inside of His people, then how does He get closer?
This isn’t talking about physical distance.
It’s talking about intimacy—what it takes to sense God’s presence and hear His voice.
The key to this kind of intimacy? “Humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil” (James 4:7).
Two words in that verse explain everything. I’ll show you. ⬇️
A Note from God about Your Breakthrough
A Prayer to Help You Know What Weaknesses to Fix vs. Embrace
We all have weaknesses.
Some of them are physical. Others are emotional, even psychological.
To have a weakness is to be human.
Yet the enemy uses it to say that you are wrong.
You should know that’s a lie. Having a weakness means nothing about you. Nor does it affect God’s love for you.
But should you try to fix a weakness? Or should you “let go and let God”?
Today, I offer a prayer to help you know what to do.
By the way, I put this prayer in my Shut Up, Devil book. It’s on page 221 in case you’d like to read along. But I thought it would be powerful to pray this over you on video. ⬇️
What the Holy Spirit’s Voice Sounds Like
What do you think God sounds like?
I am not talking about whether His voice is more bass or baritone.
I am talking about the kinds of things He says to you.
Most people believe He speaks to them with a mixture of comfort and conviction. Something like: “I love you, but STOP that or else!”
I thought that for many years. Until I actually read what the Bible says.
Specifically, what Jesus said.
He revealed that much of what I thought was God, wasn’t God at all. 🤯
