You Are Worth More Than Rubies:

A Message for Women on International Women’s Day

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate you—the woman who nurtures, builds, creates, leads, and loves with a strength that only God could have placed within you. You are valuable beyond measure, worthy beyond words, and loved beyond comprehension.

You Are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

In a world that often tries to define your worth by appearance, accomplishments, or approval, God has already declared your worth immeasurable. Psalm 139:14 says:

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

You were created with intentionality—crafted by the hands of the Almighty, woven with divine purpose, and placed in this world for such a time as this (Esther 4:14).

You Are Chosen and Called

God sees beyond the titles, the struggles, and the expectations the world places on you. He calls you His daughter, His beloved, and a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). No matter your past, present, or future, you have a calling that only you can fulfill.

You may wear many hats—mother, wife, sister, friend, leader, entrepreneur—but your greatest identity is in Christ. You are chosen. You are enough. You are empowered to make an impact.

You Carry Strength and Dignity

The Proverbs 31 woman is often seen as the ideal standard, but what makes her powerful is not just what she does, but who she is:

She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. – Proverbs 31:25

You, too, are clothed with strength and dignity—not because of perfection, but because of God’s grace. He equips you to stand firm in faith, to rise when you fall, and to walk boldly in purpose.

You Are More Precious Than Rubies

Society may try to measure worth in beauty, productivity, or status, but God says:

“She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.” – Proverbs 3:15

Your value is not earned—it is God-given. You do not have to prove yourself to be worthy of love, respect, or purpose. You already are.

An Encouragement for Every Woman

Today, I want to remind you:

You are seen. God knows your heart, your dreams, and your struggles.
You are loved. His love is unwavering, unconditional, and unshakable.
You are enough. Not because of what you do, but because of who you are in Him.
You are capable. You were made for impact, and God has placed gifts within you for His glory.

As we celebrate International Women’s Day, may you walk in confidence, embrace your purpose, and remember: you are a woman of worth—valuable, loved, and chosen by God.

Happy International Women’s Day! 💜✨

Stepping Into the New: Redesigning Our Lives with Heavenly Innovation

Hello, beloved friends, it’s Dr. Carla! As we emerge from this incredible season of transformation, I feel an overwhelming sense of anticipation for what lies ahead. We are standing at the threshold of something new, something fresh, and it’s not just a new chapter—it’s a whole new volume of our story, written by the hands of the Creator.

We’ve come so far, haven’t we? The road of transformation wasn’t always easy, but it has been powerful. We’ve faced moments of challenge and reflection, embracing the changes that GOD has brought into our hearts, minds, and spirits. We’ve allowed The HOLY SPIRIT to renew us, stripping away the old and making space for the new. But now, as we look toward the future, we see the opportunity to do more than simply walk forward—we have the chance to redesign and recreate our lives, our families, our businesses, and our world with heavenly innovation.

Where We’ve Been: A Journey of Deep Transformation

In the months that have led us here, we’ve intentionally allowed GOD to reshape us. We’ve sought His guidance, leaned on His promises, and confronted areas in our lives that needed healing. Our spirits have been revived, and our minds have been renewed. We’ve discovered that true transformation doesn’t just touch the surface; it goes deep, reaching into our very core, bringing about a shift that only The HOLY SPIRIT can make.

Romans 12:2 tells us, Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what GOD’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will for your life. And this transformation, this renewal, has been preparing us for what comes next.

Entering the Next: Redesigning with Heavenly Innovation

As we step into this next season, we’re not just moving forward; we’re entering a new realm of possibility—one where divine creativity and GOD-given imagination are at the forefront. With The HOLY SPIRIT’s renewal, we are empowered to think differently, to dream bigger, and to innovate in ways that align with GOD’s heavenly plans for us.

GOD is the ultimate Creator, and as His children, we are made in His image. We are co-creators with Him, designed to bring forth life, hope, and purpose into the world around us. Now, it’s time to use our Godly imagination to redesign our lives. It’s time to think beyond what we’ve known and allow the Spirit to guide us into new visions of success, fulfillment, and influence.

What Does This Look Like?

  1. Redesigning Our Lives: We are not bound by our past mistakes or limitations. With renewed minds, we can see ourselves as GOD sees us—whole, purposeful, and capable of achieving all that He has called us to do. If there’s an area of your life where you feel stuck or stagnant, now is the time to allow GOD to breathe fresh vision into it. Step into the new with faith and confidence.
  2. Redesigning Our Families: GOD’s design for family is one of unity, love, and strength. As we move into this new season, let’s look at how we can reshape our family dynamics. How can we lead with love and understanding? How can we create environments where everyone can thrive and grow together in the purpose of GOD?
  3. Redesigning Our Businesses: This is the time for innovation. With the guidance of The HOLY SPIRIT, we can rethink how we operate in our businesses, creating solutions that not only provide for us but also serve others. Let’s move away from old patterns and embrace new ideas that honor GOD and serve our communities.
  4. Redesigning Our World: The world around us is in need of restoration, and we have a role to play. Our transformed lives have the power to influence and impact the world in ways we may not yet fully understand. As we allow GOD’s creativity to flow through us, we can bring about positive change in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities.

Empowered by The HOLY SPIRIT

Through it all, we are not walking this journey alone. We are empowered by The HOLY SPIRIT, who is guiding us, filling us with divine creativity, and giving us the wisdom and strength to bring about this change. Philippians 2:13 reminds us, For it is GOD who works in you and I to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose us. Our lives are not just about surviving—they are about thriving, creating, and innovating according to GOD’s plan.

Moving Forward with Expectancy

As we embrace this next season of life, let’s do so with hearts full of expectancy. GOD is doing something new in us and through us. It may feel unfamiliar, but it is precisely where we are meant to be. The transformation we’ve experienced has positioned us for the greatness that lies ahead. Let’s allow The HOLY SPIRIT to continue renewing and empowering us to redesign our futures with boldness, creativity, and purpose.

So, let’s take this moment, right here and now, to step fully into the new. Let’s trust in GOD’s ability to innovate, create, and transform our lives in ways that reflect His goodness, glory, and grace.

With faith and excitement for the future,

Stand Strong in the Spirit of the Lord: An Encouragement for Believers Facing Spiritual Warfare

Dear Beloved in Christ,

In the face of spiritual warfare, it is vital for us to remember that we are not alone. The Spirit of the LORD is our strength and refuge, empowering us to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. Here are some encouraging truths to hold onto when you find yourself in the midst of spiritual battles:

1. You are Empowered by the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit dwells within every believer, providing guidance, strength, and comfort. In Acts 1:8 (NIV), JESUS promised, But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses. Trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to lead you and give you the strength to overcome every challenge.

2. GOD is Your Protector

GOD promises to protect and fight for you. Psalm 91:1-2 (NIV) reassures us, Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress, my GOD, in whom I trust. Seek refuge in GOD’s presence, knowing that He is your shield and stronghold.

3. You Have the Victory in Christ

Through JESUS’ sacrifice on the cross, the ultimate victory has already been won. Colossians 2:15 (NIV) states, And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Stand firm in this victory, knowing that no power of darkness can prevail against you.

4. Use the Word as Your Weapon

The Word of GOD is a powerful tool in spiritual warfare. Hebrews 4:12 (NIV) says, For the word of GOD is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword. Equip yourself with Scripture, meditate on it, and declare it over your life to counteract the enemy’s lies and temptations.

5. Pray with Persistence

Persistent prayer is essential in spiritual battles. Ephesians 6:18 (NIV) encourages us to pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. Maintain a fervent prayer life, seeking GOD’s guidance and interceding for strength and protection.

6. Trust in GOD’s Faithfulness

GOD is faithful and His promises are true. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV) reminds us, No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And GOD is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. Trust that GOD will provide a way out and help you stand strong through every trial.

7. Encourage One Another

In times of spiritual warfare, it is crucial to support and encourage each other. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV) urges us, And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together… but encouraging one another. Surround yourself with a community of believers who will uplift and pray for you.

Stand Firm in Faith

Dear believer, stand strong in the Spirit of the LORD. Remember that the battle is not yours, but GOD’s. Lean on His strength, trust in His promises, and walk in the victory that JESUS Christ has secured for you. When you feel weary, remind yourself of GOD’s unchanging love and faithfulness. He is with you, fighting for you, and will never leave you nor forsake you.

Be encouraged, stay vigilant, and let your Faith be a beacon of hope in the midst of spiritual warfare. You are more than a conqueror through Him who loves you (Romans 8:37). Stand firm and be strong in the LORD!

In Christ’s Love, Dr. Carla The FAITH Coach

Safety and Assurance

In the tapestry of life, there are moments when the shadows of doubt and fear loom large, threatening to engulf us in a sea of uncertainty. It is in these times of spiritual warfare that we are called to rise, to stand firm in the face of adversity, and to embrace the saving hand of GOD with unwavering FAITH and courage.

Imagine a fortress, strong and unshakeable, standing tall amidst the chaos and turmoil of the battlefield. This is the image that Psalms 18:2 paints for us – a vivid portrayal of GOD as our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer. In the midst of the storm, HE is our refuge, our shield, and the horn of our salvation. HIS presence is our stronghold, a sanctuary of peace and protection in the midst of spiritual battles.

When the winds of doubt howl and the waves of despair threaten to overwhelm us, we can find solace and strength in the words of Psalms 18:2. The Lord, our ever-present help in times of trouble, and HE stands ready to shield us from the fiery darts of the enemy and to lead us to victory. In HIS embrace, we find courage, hope, and the assurance that we are never alone in the battle.

The journey of spiritual warfare is not an easy one, but it is a journey that is marked by faith, perseverance, and the unwavering love of GOD. As we navigate the twists and turns of life, we can take comfort in the knowledge that we are held in the palm of HIS hand, safe and secure in HIS unfailing grace. In the moments of darkness, HIS light shines bright, guiding our steps and illuminating the path to victory.

Let us embrace the challenge of spiritual warfare with passion and conviction, knowing that we are warriors of light, armed with the power of FAITH and the sword of truth. Let us stand firm in the knowledge that GOD is our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer, and that in HIS strength, we can overcome any obstacle and push through any trial.

May the words of Psalms 18:2 resonate in our hearts and minds, filling us with courage, hope, and the unshakeable belief that we are more than conquerors through HIM who loves us. In the tapestry of life, let us be woven together by the threads of FAITH, united in our journey of spiritual warfare, and anchored in the saving hand of GOD.

Yours in Christ Jesus,

Dr. Carla, The FAITH Coach

Powerful in the Holy Ghost

There is so much power in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I don’t know if we know how much power we really have access to. I do not know if we understand the power that resides in us is through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Today, if you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, I implore you to try him today.  Try accessing that life changing power today.   I truly believe that we have various opportunities throughout the day to Minister to the needs of others. With such great access to such great power, why are we holding back??? Could it be that we are so busy with life that we miss our heavenly opportunities?

We do not even have the imagination of what the Holy Spirit can, will, shall, and must do through us. Will you even try today? Don’t miss a moment to show God’s Love, Majesty, Mercy, Grace, Power, Miracles, Signs, and/or His Wonders.

As I was reading my devotional today it took me to Acts 3.  Peter and John have been recently baptized with fire in the Holy Spirit. They are about to enter the temple and run into a man at the gate called Beautiful. The Bible said he was a lame man and had been that way for 40 years, since birth as a matter of fact. He was there begging for money which is what he did daily.

When the apostles see this man the first thing, they did was felt compassion for him. The ministry that Jesus operated in all the time, kicked in and they began to engage him by speaking to him. Next, they gave him something, not what he wanted or what he asked for. But how many of you know that if you have been unable to walk for 40 years…. I believe it is safe to say that the lame man knew and felt like this was his lot in life. His thoughts could possibly have been I will be like this for the rest of my life. The rest of my days I will be unable to walk, unable to provide for myself or my family without coming here and begging. I think it is a safe It is safe to say that he was relegated to this position and or posture.

However, here comes the Disruptors (Peter and John) with their no having silver and gold selves.  Answering the lame man responded by saying this is what I have for you.  Take up your bed and walk in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene. And suddenly, his feet felt something that they had never felt before. Power surged in his body and he began to stand up in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Bible said at once he stood up. He began to walk around on his new legs and feet. And entered into the temple, leaping and jumping and praising God.

So once again, my brothers and sisters, I implore you to access the power of the Holy Spirit that God has granted you and Jesus gifted you. Go out today and throughout your day and throughout your week seek who you can bless with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Who will cross your path today or tomorrow? And You will access the power of the Holy Spirit, operate in the ministry that Jesus called You to, and witness the power of the Holy Spirit move on behalf of the person you are praying for.

Yours in Christ

Remember the Fight is Fixed

Well, I wanted to share this encouraging word with you today.  So, I am in an early morning group text with some Amazing people.  The word shared this morning reminded me that the Fight is Fixed.  Now what he said was that we are to fight in Faith no matter the opposition.  BUT as soon as I read those words, I heard the Holy Spirit say so clearly Yes, Darling the Fight is Fixed. 

I immediately was reminded of the scripture of 1 Timothy 6:12 NIV – Fight the good Fight of the Faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

It is a Good Fight.  What you say! Yesss, it’s a good Fight because we win.  When you and I Fight in Faith we gain access. Access to the full force of heaven to back us up during opposition.  When we became believers, we were given the measure of FAITH.  This measure of FAITH is what supplies access for us to win.

We need to remember we are victorious when we Fight in Faith.  As we take hold of the eternal life to which we were called All the benefits of that calling are Now ours.  Winning our battles due to fixed fights are part of the benefits. 

The plan of the Lord is that He always causes us to win. We need to be aware of the opposition in our lives and how to use our FAITH to combat its affects. 

Let’s remember the Fight is Fixed and you win.

Yours in Christ,

Be Encouraged I GOT YOU!

Be encouraged Saints of God.  For our God is with us even in these tumultuous times.  He is with us.  We will not be distracted by the negative naysayers. We will not be distracted by the Media whether it is Social, Local, or National.  As children of the most-high GOD we must spend more time in HIM than we spend on the things of this world. 

We must recognize when the enemy is using our surroundings against us.  We can become so distracted in the frustration, aggravation, and the disruption that we don’t even realized that it is the handy work of the enemy.   We must regain our focus and see where the enemy has caused issues, stress, and dissension.  All this confusion is to take us off the path that has been preordained for us to follow. 

Your Destiny has been pre-determined before the foundations of the world were even established.  You are created for such a time as this.  We must be in alignment with what GOD has for us.   Satan’s plan is to disrupt this alignment and push us off the path.   

Once we have regained our focus which is on the Lord our perspectives change.  We are now capable of seeing the hand of the LORD and the plan of the enemy.  Our alignment with our Father means we are on the Divinely Lit Path that God has for us.  This path reveals and therefore we have wisdom in all things.

Prayer:

I declare and decree that you shall remain steadfast and unmovable in the word of the Lord and the plans that He has for your life.  I declare and decree that God is for you and no enemy shall prevail against you.  Lord I thank that You go before us and You are with us.  I thank You Lord that You shall not fail, nor desert us, nor leave us high and dry. We shall not be afraid, discouraged, or lost for You Lord have us in the palm of Your hands in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen
