They Can't Take Our Jesus!

Death, failure, betrayal, sickness, disappointment, they cannot take our joy, because they can’t take our Jesus!

Can death take our joy? No, Jesus is greater than death.
Can failure take our joy? No, Jesus is greater than our sin.
Can betrayal take our joy? No, Jesus will never leave us.
Can sickness take our joy? No, God has promised, whether on this side of the grave or the other, to heal us.
Can disappointment take our joy? No, because though our plans may not work out, we know God’s plan will.

Death, failure, betrayal, sickness, disappointment. They cannot take our joy, because they cannot take our Jesus.

Please underline this sentence: What you have in Christ is greater than anything you don’t have in life. You have a God who is crazy about you, the forces of heaven to monitor and protect you. You have the living presence of Jesus within you. In Christ, you have everything—###

"Encouraging You Through God's Word To Fulfill Your God Given Destiny In Christ Jesus."

Linda is an Ordained Minister and a Board Certified Professional Christian Life Coach. She received the highest level of credentialing from the American Association of Christian Counselors-Board of Certified Life Coaches (BCLC).

Linda specializes in Christian Life Coaching which includes: Christian Leadership, Christ-Centered Spiritual Formation, Hope, and Prophetic Coaching. Linda is a lifelong learner. She is always seeking to grow and excel in her relationship with God, as a Professional Christian Life Coach, Encourager, and Educator for Christ. She is also a National keynote and motivational speaker for workshops, seminars, and conferences. God uses Linda to minister in the gifts of teaching, inner healing, encouragement, writing, and ministering in song. She has written published articles for Inspired Women’s Magazine online.

As an orator for God, Linda proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her teaching and life coaching style is encouraging, upfront, straightforward, and life changing. She teaches the importance of knowing God intimately for yourself, walking in obedience to the Word and will of God for your life, and living a Christian lifestyle informed and shaped by the gospel; so that you will grow spiritually, live a victorious life in Christ, and accomplish your God given purpose. Linda believes that Christianity is not just something you talk about on Sunday. It is a day to day fellowship with the Lord that causes a Christian to have an ever growing intimate relationship with God so that they can live a victorious life.

Linda’s focus is on Christian Life Coaching and ministering to the youth of this world. Her desire is to encourage and equip those she coach and or minister to with the confidence and the tools that are needed to fulfill their destiny in Christ Jesus. Using the Word of God, she lets them know they can do all things through Christ who will give them the strength to succeed. That one person can make a difference in this world if they will have faith in God, believe in themselves, pray, live a lifestyle shape by the Gospel, work toward achieving and never give up on their God given goals and dreams. She believes in providing positive leadership and guidance through love, acceptance, support, and discipline.

Linda believes that young people should have the freedom to express themselves knowing that there is JOY and liberty in serving the Lord. But all the while teaching them about the boundaries that God has set up for their protection. She enjoys teaching youth to give God glory in ministering in the performing arts for the advancement of the Kingdom Of God.

It’s Linda desire, by God’s grace, to play her part in reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Linda believes in the Apostolic Doctrine. She believes in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit that we see exercised in the Scriptures have not ceased with the death of the last Apostle or the closing of the New Testament canon. They are available today and are to be eagerly desired and practiced in submission to the Holy Spirit speaking through the Scriptures (Romans 12:3-8, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 2 Corinthians 12:12; Ephesians 2:20; 4:7-12).

No one can take away the Lord from our life. He is the joy of our life. He supplies our needs when we are our of nothing and He is coming back to take us all home to heaven.
