A Look At Being Stuck
When we remain stuck no matter how good or capable we might still look in the process we are still a weak link in life or business.

No matter what, GOD WILL BE EXALTED!
This post is from the revelatory teaching notes that Dr. Aikens taught in a Bootcamp. Posted by Rev. Jane Babich after attending the Bootcamp. Psalm 46:10 Psalm 46 God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. He…

Leadership, Thorns & Grace
2 Corthinians 12:7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Apostle Paul was a model of the Nazarite Leader in Christ. He was totally sold out and surrendered and bound in the spirit to a higher vow, yet grace made it that all things are lawful. Because Paul was wise enough to consider that nothing and no one was expedient if it or they allowed themselves to be used to exert power over him than that he’d bound himself to in the spirit. Beloveds, the higher call of leadership requires we sterizo or stick and stay with what we know is God’s will for us and, in so doing, make ourselves exclusively available to…

Speaking Boldly: It Is Simplified Warfare!
In these our end times, speaking boldly is key! Understanding Simplified Warfare, according to the scriptures, is key! This teaching from Dr. Aikens is timeless because it is The Word, but it is for today, no matter what you are today because it is full of the Holy Spirit's revelation through His Servant. As you partake of this wisdom and revelation, Dr. A. walks you through part of the Book of Acts via what we call "Apostle-phrased." "Apostle-phrased" is when she takes The Word and through the Holy Spirit using the different versions, such as KJV and AMP, and combines them into a paraphrased writing that gives us clarify and applicability for such a time as this. Read, pray and ponder this meaty message from Apostle Dr. Aikens on "speaking boldly," now and always as we are lead by His Spirit. Glory! This post…

Stick and Stay, Even When Leadership Fails Us
Although this teaching is reverencing Samson as the one that allowed his desires to override what was right, he lost being seen as a leader. We see that same behavior in many, many, too many of our land leaders in these times. No matter what we see or how disappointed we are in the lack of leadership in our lives, remember you are a leader to someone, be it a co-worker, family, community; so we need to hold fast to the calling are to fulfill, regardless of those that are falling short daily. Sterizo (hold fast) even when it looks like we are going under Some of the greatest leaders lose their position because they first lost sight of their calling. How is it that Samson could lose sight of his high calling? His parents obediently undertook the responsibility of…

Our Hearts Feel Overwhelmed!
When Our Hearts Feel Overwhelmed! Life teaches us that drama, perils, and its daily pressures and demands upon us can seem totally empowered to delay or deny visions, and dreams with feelings meant to overwhelm the strongest of our hearts and every measure of faith. And yes; all this can so adversely affect us all even to the point where if we’re not careful to navigate on through it all circumspectly; it becomes far too easy to just give in and begin drifting through life aimlessly not knowing what we are supposed to feel. But if we give in to feeling so; we can drift so far off course we wind up being totally unsure of how to even turn about to take our lives back from where we’ve been or awake to find we are; unto where we want…

Living with what I could change, but don’t!
I have heard, "just live with it" many times in life, and it upset me because they did not have to live with it, I did! And at times, friends and family added a caveat to try and make me feel better, like, "just live with it, for now." They did not understand that it did not make me feel better, it left me feeling hopeless. But even more difficult to handle is when I heard, "just live with it" within myself. And the unspoken caveat in me was, "because you know it will never change, even though it could." Ouch! Then through prayer and self-reflection, I realized there were things I found "the art of living with" in my life. Knowing I could change but didn't was heartbreaking until I grabbed onto the hope of God's Word and the grace…

The Art of Intentional Learning & Pruning
Proverbs 1:5 (KJV) A wise man will hear and will increase learning.Proverbs 1:5 (AMP) The wise will hear and increase their learning.Proverbs 1:5 (ESV) Let the wise hear and increase in learning.Proverbs 1:5 (NIV) Let the wise listen and add to their learning. In this scripture, we hear a clear message that if we are wise in our hearing, we will increase our learning. Being wise in our hearing is being intentional in hearing because that will dictate our learning. What does "The Art of" mean? The art of something is when we move in it, creating beautiful work by using our imagination and proven truths. We need to understand that this same beauty is when we live with a mind and heart of intentionality. Our learning is like our legacy; not optional. We will learn, and we will have…
