Booth To Ballot with Daniella Gibbons

“I'm going to get you before you get me” was the life theme of Jennifer Weddington as she grew up in the Bronx, NY in the 1980s. As a black woman, raised by a single mother, giving birth to her 1st child by 16, and raising two daughters on her own, our society says she should be in a completely different place in life. Just try to prove her wrong. Say she can't do it and she will show you she can. 

Following up from Episode 26, Biofeedback Specialist Michelle Redden goes in depth, sharing practical dynamics of learning how to walk in your authority without carrying the emotional baggage which comes from facing difficult demonic strongholds. The metaphysical world uses frequencies everyday, all over the place. What we give our energy to is what we are aligned with. 

Rachel Shafer is known for her message of hope and expectation, as she shares in her book, Expect God.

In 2019 Rachel wrote America's Anthem, not just a patriotic song but a declarative prophecy to realign our nation back to God's designed destiny. Connect with Daniella @ daniellagibbons.com
