ABOUT SHE SHIFTS

How She Shifts Was Born

“A promised future.
Very little forward movement.”

She Shifts was inspired after years of being in a wilderness season, living in transition with a promised future, but experiencing very little forward movement.

“There was a relationship with Holy Spirit
I had never developed.”

BEFORE SHE SHIFTS

I knew God. But something was missing.

I was born in the faith, baptized at the age of ten, and had always carried a personal love for and relationship with Jesus and The Father. But, I never knew I was missing a relationship with another equal and special person: The Holy Spirit. Yet life had taken me through seasons of constant rejection from people who became close to me, depression, abuse, and even homelessness. I had lived in my car and, at times, on my live-in job assignments.

Somewhere in that wilderness, I began realizing that although I knew God, there were places in my life where I had been looking to people for what I needed to learn to receive through my relationship with Holy Spirit. I had spent years seeking and expecting what felt normal to desire from those closest to me: love and reciprocity.

I did not understand that Holy Spirit was not simply someone I acknowledged as part of my faith. Holy Spirit is a Person with a ministry and assignments in my life that my ignorance and distractions were blocking me from.

I was beginning to understand that there was a relationship with Holy Spirit I had never developed, and that the ministry of The LORD in my life mattered.

THE TURNING POINT

The moment everything changed.

Toward the end of one of the heaviest transitional periods of my life, I was given the opportunity to attend Koinonia School of Ministry. My life changed from the very first night. It was there that I was introduced to the principles of Pneumatology and God-Man Partnership. I began to understand the ministry of Holy Spirit in a way I never had before.

Then I learned something else that changed the direction of my life: The Gospel of The Kingdom, not only The Gospel of Salvation. His will. Not my own. His heart. Not my own. By the very next day, before returning to class, I had made up my mind: everything I do would be for the advancement of The Kingdom of Jesus Christ on Earth.

On graduation day, Apostle Joshua Selman taught the final principle of Wealth: The Presence Factor of God, His wisdom, His favor, and His power. I went home knowing what I wanted to do. I would give God a year to intentionally begin my own transformation journey. By The Fear of The LORD, I knew I would need Holy Spirit and the presence of God to carry me through that transformation.

THEN CAME SHE SHIFTS

Four months later.

Two weeks after my birthday, during what appeared to be one of the worst seasons of my life, I stood on Matthew 19:26 , “With God all things are possible.”

AND SHE SHIFTS WAS BORN.

What began in my own wilderness became something much bigger than me. She Shifts has become more than a movement. It exists to help raise up vessels within the Body of Christ, transform the souls and lives of God’s people, and ultimately impact territories so that Jesus Christ be revealed and glorified.

The very place where I once wondered why there was no forward movement became the place from which God would birth something designed to help others encounter Him, His presence, and their own shift.
