Help is on the Way
What do you do when you feel bombarded by circumstances? How do you cope when unexpected challenges come knocking at your door? There is nothing that takes God by surprise and he is waiting to help you out of this difficulty. In fact, he already has the answer and a way of escaping this trial.
The answers to prayer don’t always come on the same day when we pray. In Daniel’s case, he waited twenty one days and then an angel came to reveal to him what had held up the answer. “The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia” (Daniel 10:13). In this story, the angel gives Daniel insight into what takes place in the heavenly realms above the earth. Daniel gets a glimpse into a type of warfare that we often cannot see with our physical eyes.
There are demonic forces assigned to try to frustrate our advancement. There are principalities and powers that will try to hold back, delay or derail the blessings that God has in store for us. It was Daniel’s persistent prayers and fasting which released the answer. We are not giving up on getting what God has in store for us.
We learn to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). We continue to pray and remain alert (Colossians 4:2). When the problem appears stubborn we persist and we add much fasting and prayer. (Matthew 17:21).
The reality is that we will not give up, throw in the towel, back down or surrender. We are standing on the promises of God and daily declare what the word says. We will wait in faith and hold unto hope beyond hope that God will answer and come to our defence.

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.
