The definition of the word opinion is ‘a belief not based on absolute certainty or positive knowledge but on what seems true, valid, probable to one’s own mind’. We all know opinionated people. They’re always imposing their opinion on others as if what they say is the only way, and if your way doesn’t coincide with their way, then you’re just wrong. They have an opinion about everything from what you should eat, how much you should eat, what kind of clothes you should wear, what colors you should wear, what colors you shouldn’t wear, how you should dress, how you should dress your children, how you should wear your hair, what kind of furniture you should have in your home, what color carpet you should use to cover your floors, whether or not you should cover your floors, which route you should take to go to a particular destination, and the list goes on and on and on. There have been so many times that people, sometimes complete strangers, have come to me to offer an opinion about something that should be of no concern to them. I have had people at my place of work come to me and tell me which hairstyle they would prefer to see me wearing. I have had people tell me that I shouldn’t wear a certain color because, in their words, it does absolutely nothing for my complexion, that I should wear pastels because pastels make me look younger. People have even gone as far as to me to tell me what I should or should not do regarding the rearing of my children. People seem to feel free to come and basically say whatever is on their mind. So much so, that I often wonder if there is a sign stamped on my forehead that reads, “FEEL FREE TO STATE YOUR OPINION, I DON”T MIND”!
The Word of God refers to overly opinionated people as fools that revel in airing their personal opinions, based on nothing but their own folly, taking no pleasure in receiving wisdom. (It’s tight, but it’s right!) A fool has no delight in understanding, but in expressing his own heart. (Proverbs 18:2 NKJV) The Word of God further directs us to “MIND OUR OWN BUSINESS!!”…that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you. (1 Thessalonians

About the Book
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.
(Luke
Let Me Out of Your Box was birthed from my spirit to help those individuals who struggle with always wanting to please the other person, even when it means always putting your own feelings aside to do so.
After being held in bondage by other people’s opinions of me for a great part of my life, the Lord began to deliver me from this bondage as I accepted and began to walk in my calling. The Lord allowed me to witness countless instances where other people’s opinions were being imposed upon loved ones, where people were being wounded because of judgments and opinions that were placed upon them and where loved ones were left feeling hindered and unable to enjoy their existence due to the imposition of these opinions and judgments. The Lord began to develop in me a deep compassion for people in these types of situations and an earnest desire to help set people free from this bondage.
In Let Me Out of Your Box, you will learn how to overcome people’s opinions by using the Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God) to stop the enemy in his tracks when he sends people to try to shake your confidence and make you feel badly about yourself. You will learn that your own tongue has the power to give life or death to a positive self-perception as well as the perception that you convey to other people. You will learn that pleasing God, not people, is all that really matters.
