What is an affliction? It is a state of pain, distress, grief, and misery: A cause of mental or bodily pain, such as sickness, loss, calamity, or persecution. Affliction can come in many forms that will cause a person to suffer. It can be self-direct, a judgment from the Creator God, a divine purpose for purification, a persecution from another person, or a spiritual attack from satan. Life is not a bed of roses; it's more like a bed of nails. Life is hard and filled with many storms along the way. But whoever stays in their suffering that deviated from the cause of affliction, misfortune, and trials can hinder them from achieving their dreams and divine purpose. This month, we will dedicate the IT'S REAL TALK show to acknowledging the Creator God as the knight in shining armor to help us escape our afflictions. March is a celebration of the Creator God that I and many others celebrate as the month of Passover. The Passover represents coming out of afflictions. Regardless of the challenges, the Creator God instituted the Passover to remind his followers that they are not alone. The Passover celebration encourages his followers that he is our Savior who will deliver us from all our suffering. He will save those who diligently acknowledge him as their Savior, Lord, and knight in shining armor who rescues them in need.
