Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. - Matthew 18:18
This verse is what we are founded on. Everything throughout the Bind & Loose business group is built on the premise that our job is to help people understand how to bind up the things that are not of God and loose the promises of god over
their lives. The Kingdom of God is at your finger tips and God has given you the authority, in Christ, to create access. Get ready to learn how to live in that authority!
Let's do an experiment. Here is the link to the latest Life+God magazine. https://bit.ly/3RLMBfz You can look at it for free. If I get 50 ppl to tell me they want this free moving forward, I'll make the whole subscription free. Just comment, "I want it free!"
Let's see what happens!

It's happening this weekend yall! EEEEEK! I am so excited! I had to raise the ticket capacity 2 or 3 times to accommodate all the interest. When i tell you God is showing out that is exactly what i mean.
Beloved, this event started with just a crazy idea I had to celebrate my 3 year anniversary for the companies. It turned into an opportunity for God to show me who He is, what He will do for me, and who I am with Him. I need someone to hear me when I say this: WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU IS TRULY FOR YOU! DO NOT LET ANYONE OR ANYTHING CONVINCE YOU OTHERWISE. Walk in your authority and take hold of what is already yours! The enemy would have you to believe that you have to beg for YOUR OWN STUFF. But as my Pastors (Kenneth Smith and Tongela Smith) reminded us on Sunday, it's ours stuff and we can have it NOW! So walk out your purpose, push through the mess that is truly just a distraction, and don't let the enemy try to sell you back your own stuff! It's yours! (Remeber he told Christ if you bow down before me all this can be yours.... It was all already His! (Psalm 24:1)
Go do what God called you to do and dare to dream big!

There’d come a time when I did not want to preach anymore because I felt it was received more as entertainment than ministering transformation. I wasn’t interested in performing. But I feel it bubbling up in me. It's like electricity moving to the surface. I can't stay quiet any longer. I’ve realized sometimes you are just in the wrong environment and instead moving to a different environment you simply adjust yourself to the one you are in.
If you have been shrinking yourself to fit into spaces, please know those environments are not where God is calling to you reside. You may be there for a season to learn, to be pruned of some outdated habits or a limiting mindset that no longer serves you. But that shrinking space, beloved, is not where you are called to live. You have big purpose. You served a limitless God. And He is calling you into some very BIG places. So don’t submit to shrinking in those wrong environments to “fit in”. You’re not called to fit in. You are called to start a conflagration, a raging fire in others that testify about the power of a Mighty and Sovereign God! Come out of those cramped space and restrictive mindsets. Stretch those legs and arms. Open up your mouth and speak what God says for you to speak, move the way God says for you to move. There are too many people waiting on you and your fire! Don’t you dare let someone convince you to decrease your size so they can be comfortable. Trust God and move as He directs you and watch that fire in you spread to the cold, dead spirits in others waking them up! People are waiting for your fire. They need you! So, why are you still shrinking?
Calling all Vendors!!! Calling all Vendors!!! Applications are closing. Please apply now if you want to be included in this awesome opportunity to expand your brand to a community of people waiting to support small business owners! APPLY NOW!!! Msg me to apply.

Chronicles of a Purpose Chaser
Welcome to our newsletter! This newsletter shares the called side of life. The joys and pains of trying to figure it all out and the lessons learned along the way. I hope you will be encouraged, laugh a little and enjoy reading about running from and chasing after purpose!
Why so many storms?!
Hey amazing people of God! Ever feel like life's just throwing punches? You dodge one dark cloud, just to get caught in a downpour? My pastor used to say we are all either heading into a storm, just coming out of a storm, or in the middle of one. But guess what? You are not alone!
Taking a Leap of Faith
Ten years ago, I uprooted my life, 3 small kids in tow, moving across the country in faith. It wasn't easy. No support network at my destination, no job lined up – just a whole lot of "Do you trust me?" from God. Did I doubt? Heck yeah! But that little voice inside whispered, "Just trust God."
The Journey Gets Real
Though I trusted God, the storms hit hard. With no support, there were only certain jobs I could take being a single mother. Making friends? Forget it. Dating? Ya right! Financial struggles became a constant companion. Finally found someone and got married. Then came COVID, a miscarriage, a second divorce, then homelessness. And those are the highlights. Whew!
Moving in faith doesn’t mean we avoid trouble. Sometimes that trouble doesn’t get lightened either! But here's the thing, beloved. Through it all, God's love never wavered. He didn't abandon me. And His protection never ceased either. He was always there to encourage me, building my faith muscle, making me stronger.
Purpose Revealed
Now, I get it. God! Why the storms? Here's the answer: the enemy is scared! He knows you're destined for greatness, and he's trying to throw you off course. He knows if you keep pushing just a little bit further, if you make it around that last rough corner, he’s done for and breakthrough is yours. Now here's more good news:
• Your purpose is set
• Deliverance has your name on it
• The storm is fixed
• Just keep pressing forward
Beloved, the storms may rage, but they can’t stop you. They may get loud but don’t let them get louder than the words God spoke to you. Use your battles to inspire others. Keep chasing your God-given purpose, one step at a time.
This storm? This too shall pass. Breathe deep, beloved. Know that we are warriors, and we are Purpose Chasers!
Keep Chasing,
Areda

Chronicles of a Purpose Chaser
Welcome to our newsletter! This newsletter is one that was created to share the "called" side of life. We hope you will be encouraged, laugh a little and enjoy reading about running from and chasing after purpose!
And so it begins...
I have always loved to write. I remember when I was younger I would write poems and stories for hours and for no reason at all. I still have notebooks full of never-revealed testimonies to the power of youthful imagination. I never thought it would bring me to this space, publishing. But here I am. Well, I am kind of here. I have not fully accepted the fullness of my role and purpose yet. I mean, how can I? God doesn't always make it very clear exactly what we are to do, right? More so hints or glimpses. You think you are headed one way and BAM! another way halts your progress or diverts your attention to a journey you never thought you'd embark on. And yet it becomes some of the most enriching experiences you never knew you needed. That's where I am. Learning how to enjoy the journey and embrace the call.
I am thankful I am not in charge of my life, ultimately. I am grateful there is One who holds my future, shapes my life and guides my footsteps because if it were up to me, I'd get stuck, several times and in several spaces, trying to make others happy or comfortable or who knows. We all get stuck in things but what I have found is that when we let go of the plans we have for ourselves and submit to the amazing God we say we serve, well that's when life truly gets interesting.
So, if you're game, I'll take you on this adventure of mine. This adventure of discerning the voice of God, trusting in the Holy Spirit and chasing after purpose.
Hi, my name is Areda Hicks and I am a minister, mother, entrepreneur, speaker, coach, teacher, graphic designer, author, publisher, crafter and more. I look forward to walking out this journey with you as you walk with me and we all grow in our relationship with God through Jesus Christ. This is our safe space to talk about how to hear the voice of God, how to stay focused on the vision, how to remove distractions, how to pray when we don't have the words or the energy and so much more.
If you haven't done so already, don't forget to like our page by clicking the button below. I'll be sharing more there and in our group, I'll be going live with topics about publishing, writing, and just living with God!
Hope to see you soon!
