ROOTED RENEGADE

Words of Encouragement, Hope, Prophecy, Healing for those seeking the truth and Jesus.

  • Our Root System

    As I was taking my bamboo plant out of the water and cleaning it I clearly heard the Lord tell me to look closely at it’s root system. As I examine it I could see where it had grown strong new fresh roots in the water and where it’s other roots were thing and frail.… Continue reading

  • No More Idols

    I have never released a word from the Lord until today. Please understand I do not release it lightly. In light of the events in our world today, the Lord is calling us to Him. We are His chosen, His beloved, and it is time that we stop fighting and seeking false idols and bearing… Continue reading

  • Choice vs. Right

    Today was not like a normal day. At least not for me. Maybe it was for you. Maybe for you, like many others, you woke up as you normally do. Completed your morning routines with sleep still lagging around you, that stuff in your eyes that you can barely get out until the hot shower… Continue reading

  • Just one day…right?

    This week.  This one week of every year.  Why could it not be any other week?  I could think of a thousand reasons why it could be any other week.  Any other day.  But no.  Two days before my birthday.  The week of my birthday.  Like I am ever going to be able to forget.  Every year it will roll around and the first… Continue reading

  • Proper Posture before a Holy God

    We all know what it is like to feel underserving of God’s love, grace, and mercy. Many of us feel that at least once or twice a week (some more). Some never feel like they will measure up to the standards that they have heard preached over and over again. Churches tend to fill the… Continue reading

  • The 5 P’s for People in Your Life

    As I was journaling the other day, lost in thought, prayer for others, and really just trying to find the right words at the right time, I was moved by the Holy Spirit with such grace and love. My pen just began to flow with words and I was reminded of my own flesh and… Continue reading

  • To You Mom & Dad…

    As I sit here reading about identity I realized the reason I wanted you to be proud of me. For years I struggled making sense of who I really was. Bound by chains of a man. Trapped by curses of a heritage. Do I go left? Right? Forwards? Backwards? Up? Down? I break free from… Continue reading

  • We have to shed our “grave clothes”

    Often times when we go into recovery of any kind we go into it wearing what I call “grave clothes”. The clothes we are wearing when we enter jails, institutions, or in some cases the final phase…death. The clothes we wore in and out of the trap houses. The clothes we wear for days on… Continue reading

  • Don’t Sit in Darkness

    Open up the shades and let the light shine in! Open the windows and doors and let the light come into the darkness! We are not meant to sit in silence. We are not meant to sit in the pain. We are not meant to hold in the hurt and anguish we feel. It is… Continue reading
