Doubt your Doubts
Doubt is like a prison holding you back from all you were created to do and be and, in my experience, fear is the captor. Start the new week by doubting your doubts and believe your beliefs

Beautiful, Courageous You – New Zealand
Many lives were impacted, hearts touched and minds renewed at the Beautiful, Courageous You Women’s Event New Zealand!
The day started with Your’s truly 🙂 sharing my powerful journey of healing, restoration and deliverance from depression and anxiety. Then my amazing creative friends took the ladies into healing workshops for the Body, Soul & Spirit.
The Colours of Hope workshop was facilitated by Froyle Neideck from FroyleArt, this session saw creative expression being released and true identity unveiled… plus much more!
The Colours of Nature workshop had the ladies create their own beautiful floral tiara’s. As my friend amazing Dezley from Twig and Grace crowned the ladies & young girls with their floral tiaras there was a transaction in the Spirit – the unseen became a visual expression of joy!
We also held a Wellness session where myself and Anna (expert Nutritionist) presented some basic principles on eating for a healthy mind and how exercise can shift the depressed state!
At each session there was a beautiful exchange from having an orphan mindset to having the mindset of royalty… a revelation of heart ‘I am a daughter of the Most High, the King of Kings’. 👑! Psalm 8:3-5 tells us that we are royalty in God’s eyes: “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, . . . what is man that You are mindful of him? . . . You have crowned him with glory and honour.” You are wearing a crown of glory and honour handcrafted by the King. Soak that in! #beautifulcourageousyou
Sometimes the Most Spiritual Thing You Can Do is Rest
In my experience with healing from depression, I met many well-meaning Christians that were intent on spiritualising every aspect of my condition… everything was a stronghold or a soul tie, and yet most days I clearly heard the Lord say ‘rest is the most spiritual thing you can do today’.
It is true our battle is not against flesh and blood, there is a spiritual realm in which we must contend for healing (see Ephesians 6:12).
However if we are to contend for healing, I believe it is not to give the enemy so much ‘air time’ that we become paranoid and look for a demon under every rock. Rather I suggest we must embrace what needs to be addressed for spiritual health (prayer, deliverance, repentance etc.) alongside applying some practical steps towards healing our physical bodies.
Recently I read a daily devotion penned by L.B Cowman Streams In The Desert, she writes on the issue of confounding physical weariness with spiritual weakness:
And what did God do with His tired servant? Gave him something good to eat and put him to sleep. Elijah had done splendid work and had run alongside of the chariot in his excitement, and it had been too much for his physical strength, and the reaction had come on and he was depressed. The physical needed to be cared for. What many people want is sleep and the physical ailment attended to. There are grand men and women who get where Elijah was- under a juniper tree! And it comes very soothingly to such to hear the words of the Master: “The journey is too great for thee, and I am going to refresh you.”
Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is rest, along with spiritual laws we also must address the natural laws of ‘something good to eat and a good sleep’… today, give yourself permission to rest and have something good to eat 😉 X
