Love Will Win
One of the greatest commandments in the bible relates to loving God and loving each other. God is love and if God lives in us then our lives should radiate his example of love and unconditional positive regard.
Often in Christendom when we consider warfare we think about praying down fire and brimstone and binding principalities and powers. While this has its place, one of the most powerful weapons to rescue a dying world is love.
“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35 ) When the church demonstrates love to the world this will draw people to experience the love of Jesus Christ.
Our spiritual gifts are good for the edification of the church but without love our gifts and talents are useless in God’s eyes. “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.” (1 Corinthians 13:1)
When we love others we show them patience and kindness. Our love should not be jealous, proud or rude. Our love should not be irritable or demand to have its own way in everything and keep a list of the mistakes others make. Love never rejoices over injustice but is happy when the right thing is done. Our love should never give up on others or ourselves. Love never looses hope or faith and lasts through all circumstances. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
I believe that love is a powerful weapon and when we continue to show love, this will transform others and draw people to Christ. Our love will win the battles in our relationships, groups and communities.
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
(Matthew 22:39)

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.
