It’s Already Done On Earth AND In Heaven

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Matthew 16:19 says:

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

“Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.”

Binding fear, stress, sadness, hopelessness, loneliness, depression, anger, feelings of unworthiness, and anxiety.

Side Note: May is Mental Health Awareness month.

“Whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Releasing love, joy, hope, peace, success, wealth, great health, mental stability, and emotional wellness.

Declaring—It’s DONE! Amen

Please feel free to add to either category above. Then, after you finish, declare—“It’s DONE!” And mean it with your entire being!

Amen

I pray you have a beautiful day and an even more lovely week. God’s got you!

Remember, IT’S DONE!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

**P.S. Keep shining!✨

As we know, life will always be lifeing. Just know that you can handle any and everything thrown your way. And when things become a bit too much for you to handle, release control and pass them on to God. He’s got your back. You’re covered!♥️

Love you much,

My Journey With God, No. 91

Shaun Bradford

Over the past four years, I have used this same graphic in different posts. However, the first time I used it was on May 4, 2021. I went to look for further context and could only find this graphic and caption, “Make it happen.” Even on this site, I had only shared the graphic in the story format (when WordPress was doing stories).

Although I couldn’t find any other details, I decided to add a couple of scriptures from this morning’s reading. I believe they are aligned with the message of God setting the stage for me to make things happen.

Isaiah 46:10-11 (NIV)

10. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’

11. From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do.

There’s a purpose and plan to be fulfilled—God’s purpose and plan. And today, I am prepared to make it happen♥️ ~Shaun

Now, I’m the woman in the graphic—“The stage is set, Shaun. Make it happen!”

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

As much as I have been trying to avoid the subject, it’s not going away. On this day two years ago, I spoke to my mom for the last time while she was awake—not coherent or even alert, but awake. She had talked for two days nonstop. When I say nonstop, I mean for the entire 48 hours. She had had conversations with people who had passed away, people who were in the room who I couldn’t see, and every now and then, she’d talk to me. I didn’t ask the nurse for anything to help her sleep because, for the first time in decades, she wasn’t in any pain or uncomfortable. She was just talking. So, I let her talk. I still remember her asking for breakfast almost every hour during the last night of her conversations. It was like talking to a toddler who wouldn’t go to sleep—“Go to sleep, and when you wake up, your food will be here.” She’d be quiet (but whispering, I could hear her😂) for 15-30 minutes before she would ask again, “Is it time to eat breakfast?”

While looking through my photos this morning, I found the last picture I took of her while she was awake. I remember sending it to my sisters to show them she was okay and had finally stopped talking. The more I look at it, the more I can see that she was actually gone. Her body was still functioning, but she wasn’t there. The time stamp was 8:37 PM on May 4, 2023. Here’s a TikTok video I shared that evening at 9:48 PM. I had no clue that only a few hours later she would have her second seizure of the week and never regain consciousness. She died on May 9th, a few days before Mother’s Day.

Here’s a photo taken a few weeks after she had me. Y’all, I can’t believe she died before my 50th birthday.💔

I miss her.

A few days ago, her stepmother passed away. When I tell you it felt like losing her all over again. I can’t believe they’re actually gone, and I’ll never see them again.😔

I’ll end here.

I pray that you have a wonderful day filled with love, peace, and happiness. You deserve it.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
