Free to Pursue Destiny

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed (Luke 4:18).

There is freedom in serving Jesus and during his time on earth, they brought to him those who were sick and paralysed so he could lay his hands on them for them to be healed. Many came to Jesus that were demon possessed and Jesus healed them (Mark 1:32-34)

Whenever Jesus went to a region and people knew that he was around, they knew that all they needed to do was to get close enough to him to be healed. Imagine people that were lame from birth, who could then walk or run and move their limbs; persons blind could then see and those oppressed had freedom.

It is through our relationship with Jesus and developing intimacy with him that we discover freedom. And having been set free we can move forward to fulfil our purpose and destiny and accomplish our assignment on earth. God placed destiny inside each and every one of us and the Devil uses negative circumstances to try to distort God’s plans.

We go back to the source and our creator to find liberty and freedom so that we can move forward in accomplishing what he has created us to do. And Jesus sets us free from the hurt from our past, from fear and anxiety, from our insecurities and feelings of inferiority. He sets us free to be who God created us to be and then we can go forward uninhibited.

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John‬ ‭8:36‬).

I am a trained Social Worker who currently provides professional leadership on a programme to support Social Work students and Newly Qualified Social Workers entering the Social Work Profession.

Born and raised in Jamaica in a Christian family where my father is an ordained Pastor and Deacon who has served for over 50 years in the ministry. My father is also a trained musician and our family can be described as a musical family. I grew up in a small farming community in St. Peter’s, St. Andrew and my parents also have a small farm.

I credit my gift of writing to my father who I watched and listened to over the years as he wrote sermons, poems and other recitals in his capacity in ministry. English has always been an easy subject for me and over the years I have developed an increased interest in writing.

I am a Trainer, I sing and have a passion for worship, the spoken word and the free flow of the prophetic anointing. I am married to my best friend Andrew Christopher Young who is an advanced Musician and whose music you can find on YouTube and Facebook. I am a trained Coach and Mentor and I love experimenting with food so I love cooking. I enjoy trying cultural dishes from across the world and I view food as an entry into cultures and languages.

    Sometimes Healing Takes Time

    I like instant. I like brewed coffee in a minute or less. I like microwaved leftovers in 45 seconds or less. I like instant text, instant on-line shopping, and instant movies at the click of a button. I’m not a fan of process but would rather have immediate results. One of my favorite words in the New Testament is “immediately.” “Immediately they received their sight” (Matthew 20:34). Read more...
