It is NOT a Matter of IF, But WHEN! by Julianne Pearson

One of the most freeing Kingdom Truths released to me is, “God’s Word is our Final Authority – void of our opinion and absent of our circumstances.”  The more I embraced the Revelation of this specific Kingdom Truth, it no longer matter what my past theological experiences were, or the limiting beliefs of my ancestors, or even the brainwashing of former religious indoctrination.  The Authoritative Revelation of God’s Word has, does, and will continue to burn to ashes the impotence of all compromising information that has hindered the forceful advancement of my Kingdom Rehab Process.  (Kingdom Rehab Process is an inspired term that helped me understand the process all born again Believers must experience as their paradigms – belief systems – are shifted from a “going-to-church mentality” to one of “being-the-Church or Kingdom mentality.”)
            To help you gain a greater understanding of this Kingdom Truth, let’s discuss a natural principle all of us are familiar with – gravity.  The principle of gravity states that whatever goes up must come down.  Although man has been able to devise systems that appear to circumvent the principle of gravity, this does not mean by any stretch of the imagination that gravity is no longer in effect.  For instance, an airplane operates through a system or process called aerodynamics and is able to fly through the air from one destination to another by temporarily circumventing the principle of gravity.  I say temporarily because if the airplane malfunctions in any way, the pilots, crew, and passengers will all positively confirm that the principle of gravity is still in effect and supersedes the system of aerodynamics everyday – even though the system appeared to be successful in over-riding the principle of gravity, causing gravity to temporarily come subject to its devices. 

It’s NOT a Matter of IF, But WHEN!

Unfortunately, throughout our lives we have been subtly conditioned to believe that the temporary successful results of our decisions and choices that have been influenced by faulty paradigms supersedes the Word of God, when in actuality they are man-made mental devices that only appear to work.  As with the principle of gravity, one’s belief in gravity’s existence never negates its enforcing power and authority.  Therefore, one’s belief in the authenticity of God’s Word does not negate Its Authority.  Regardless of how successful we and others have been in living a life of compromise in regards to the Word of God, when our life malfunctions, we will be forced to face the harsh reality that the temporary working of our man-made devices never superseded God’s Word!  The Revelation of this Kingdom Principle is synonymous with the principle of gravity – anything and everything that goes up MUST come down!  Simply put…ONE DAY any and every erroneous thought pattern and faulty paradigm that attempts to rise and come against the Truth of this Kingdom Principle must come subject to the Authority of God’s Word – period.

It’s NO Longer Worth It!

            As I frequently pause for personal reflection and spiritually process the substantial cost of adhering to compromising beliefs, I become more and more determined to prevent demonic and diabolical influences from infiltrating and contaminating my paradigms by giving the Authority of God’s Word preeminence in my life.  NO longer am I satisfied to continue to experience the temporary pleasures of compromise temporarily at the expense of compromising the establishment of eternal blessings permanently.  The cost – the pain of my past, displeasures of my present, and the potential frustrations of my future – are just not worth it any more!
            In conclusion, consider this a clarion call!  My family and I have met our “when” day, and have awaken to the Truth of this Kingdom Principle… God’s Word is our Final Authority – void of our opinion and absent of our circumstances.  Despite the popular beliefs of this generation, your “when” day is coming…whether you believe it now or not!  It’s up to you to grab it early.  Take it from us.  Learn from our experiences.  Like any good sale, the cost is always easier to pay, especially when the savings are half off!

Church is NOT Enough! by Julianne Pearson

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been participating in church activities:  church services, church choirs, church programs, church schools, church basketball games…church, church, church, church.  Unfortunately during my adolescence and young adult seasons, church – in the traditional sense and as most of us know it – is not enough!
            Ok!  I can hear some of you gasping for air that I would have the audacity to make such a strong judgment call.  Then consider this:  If church is enough, why has my family walked in self-deception to our susceptibility to the spirit of pride, rebellion, and anger for many generations?  If church is enough, why did I participate in the repetitive cycle of perversion that plagued my family for generations resulting in me committing fornication and getting pregnant out of wedlock, not once but twice?  If church is enough, how did the spirit of mental illness and madness continue to stalk me and several of my family members, oppressing us with depression, suicidal thoughts and ideations for decades?  If church is enough, why did we exist in a life of financial bondage, causing us to be slaves to this world’s economic system for so many years where many in my family have justified their continual, willing participation?  If church is enough, why were the first four years of my marriage a living hell for my husband, me, and unfortunately our children although both my husband and I were raised in the church and attended church regularly?  Will church ever be enough?
I’m sure by now most of you know my answer to that question, “No!”  Church will never be enough because it was not the institution of victory God created in this earth.  The institution of victory God created in this earth was a family!  Unfortunately, throughout the generations and for decades church has been used as the replacement to the family infrastructure instead of serving simply as a supplement to the family community.  Consequently, when we rely completely on church, our families are sure to be left wanting and in lack. 
            In June of 2009, I heard the heart of God for every family community that has been earthed over the course of time.  God’s Divine Desire is to re-establish the institution of victory on earth by placing families on a firm family foundational trust.    According to Deuteronomy 29:29, God has secrets that He desires to reveal to us for us and our descendants.  These family secrets will place each family on a steady foundation, establishing a Kingdom dynasty in this earth from which thousands of generations can grow.
Now, it is important to understand that these family secrets are purpose specific.  For example, the purpose of a clothes iron is to press the wrinkles out of clothing.  Although a clothes iron does get hot, I would not be using it according to purpose if I chose to make a grilled cheese sandwich with it instead.  Therefore, by choosing to make a grilled cheese sandwich would be misusing or abusing the clothes iron although it may appear to work.  Likewise, until we discover the value and purpose of the family unit, it will continue to exist in an abusive state.  Until we receive the secrets for our families, then churches, daycares, schools, or any other man-made institutions are going to consistently be asked to do something the original, divine purpose of a home was created by God to accomplish.
Therefore, in order for our families to be re-established as the institution of victory on earth, home must become a haven of manifested empowerment.  Through the revealed secrets of God, every family will be equipped to create a refuge that cultivates an atmosphere where the value and purpose of every family member becomes apparent.  The manifestation of value and purpose provides momentum in the progress of each individual which ultimately impacts the advancement of the entire family and society at large.  As we embrace these divine downloads, we will receive the Kingdom empowerment that is necessary for us to conquer the enemy of our souls on a daily basis.  For the church events are just not enough!

The Transitional Generation by Julianne Pearson



As a Relationship Strategist who specializes in personal, family, and team development, I have the privilege of meeting with various individuals as they process the person they have become in light of the family dynamics they were birthed through and raised in.  It has become more and more apparent that many people do not give themselves permission to spiritually process the methods in which they were raised and how that season of their lives has affected them positively as well as negatively.   Then I have discovered that many who are courageous enough to begin to spiritually process their childhood seasons are not willing to give themselves the freedom to be honest about their imperfect parents or whoever was their parental figure at that time.  In some way, they feel they are disrespecting their parents by being honest about the adverse affects of their parents’ unwise choices, as if they are defaming their character in some way.  This hindering paradigm restricts an individual from spiritually processing the effects of their childhood season, making them wholistically unprepared for the next.  Stay with me, I’ll explain.

With the revelation I have now and from a Kingdom Philosophy (King-Father God’s Principles of Conduct), the parents’ ceiling should be their children’s floor.  Meaning, where the parents stop, their children should begin.  Unfortunately, if a child (who becomes a parent) hasn’t taken the time to spiritually process their childhood season, they will be ill-equipped to advance beyond the limitations of their parents’ instructional life-style – who were also once children.  To prevent the repetitive cycle of generational recidivism, a generation must rise to the challenge and accept the call to be the transitional generation.

According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, transition is defined as “passing from one condition to another”.  When I read that definition the word passing jumped out at me; so I decided to look up that definition as well.  The one definition for passing that resonated in my spirit was “satisfying given requirements,” as if going from one grade to another.  Isn’t that what transition is all about?  Satisfying given requirements which qualifies you to advance to the next level.  We would think that something is wrong with a student who has successfully passed one grade level and then the following year chooses to go back to the previous classroom instead of advancing to the next grade.  Well that is exactly what happens in many families when the next generation chooses to ignore the valuable lessons their parents taught them whether it be what to do or even what not to do.

As a transitional generation, one is committed to spiritually processing their childhood by embracing "the meat" and leaving "the bones", if you will.  They purposefully embrace the principles that will be valuable to the establishment of their family and legacy, leaving behind those things which would be detrimental to the progressive work that King-Father God desires for their posterity

No Punks Allowed!

Now to be forewarned is to be forearmed.  Accepting the responsibility of being the transitional generation isn’t for the faint of heart.  While the family is in transition, you will experience the frustration of the old, all the while having an appreciation for the new.  There will be the re-defining of your former normal, transforming your belief systems according to your “Kingdom Normal” – King-Father God’s Imagination of you and for you and your family.  There will be the internal battle to release the grip of what has always been for the reaching of what could always be.  At times you will feel as if you’re Play-doe© ,  and God has the cookie cutter, removing all of the unnecessary parts of you that are no longer usable for the accomplishment of purpose and placing your family on a firm family foundational trust. 

As difficult as this calling may be – the transitional generation – choosing not to accept the challenge is just postponing the inevitable which has generational ramifications.  The bones you choose to carry and pass over into the next generation can have a negative effect for three and four generations.  That means what you choose not to admit, confront, and deal with in your generation can possibly affect your grandchildren and great-grandchildren (Deuteronomy 5:9).  However, because of the sacrifice of Christ, this doesn’t have to be.  As the transitional generation, we can choose to endure our process, knowing God will give us the grace to make the necessary personal philosophy adjustments that will render a Kingdom blessing for thousands of generations (Exodus 34:7).

Allow me to leave this with you…is it possible that the stretching you have been experiencing is the pain of transitional birth?  Is it possible that you are the one called for this assignment – to arrest faulty family mindsets and shift the family paradigm into the next dimension of Kingdom living?  If so, as God told Joshua, who was called to take his generation into the territory their parents forfeited, “Be strong and very courageous!” (Joshua 1:7).  Regardless of the pain of persistent pursuit you experience, every single bone you leave behind will be worth it.  As my husband says, “You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.  BUT you’ve got to choose.”
