Recognizing the Orphan Spirit- Danita Ogandaga
Experiencing loss is inevitable! Our healing rests in how we approach it! There is freedom from the Orphan Spirit! I hope that you will experience additional clarity in your life for recognizing if the Orphan Spirit is an issue that explains the behavior, mindset, or “that thing” that you have been dealing with for many days, months, or years.
God came to set the captive free and that means you! He wants the very best for us and does not want to see his children absent from experiencing love, even though we may not have received that love from our natural mother or father. How we approach the things in life that we lose will make the difference in our ability to take hold of the healing that God is offering to us.
Culture and society are readily waiting to help you to identify yourself and employ you on the neverending treadmill of adopting culture that is swift and everchanging. God wants us our of the rat race and into the Kingdom of His love.
The Orphan Spirit is defined as anything in this life that has been present in your life for some time in which you find a deep attachment to or a bond that is deep seated. Once that attachment is broken, you develop a mindset in which you do not believe that life can exist without that “thing” or person in your life. The orphan spirit can be debilitating because it causes you to develop the extreme of becoming a hermit and enclosed within yourself or caught up in a cycle of people pleasing where you can not rest or enjoy life; in essence, you are always looking for something whether that be love or things to fill a void.
Recognizing the Orphan Spirit can assist us in beginning the stages of healing; it all starts with:
- Fully recognizing or accepting that the orphan spirit has become a stronghold in your life.
- Ask God for revelation of the truth of His word to assist you in breaking those strongholds.
- Forgive, Forgive, Forgive and let yourself and those persons in your life who harmed you to go so you can walk into your wealthy place of freedom and serenity in receiving the unconditional love of God.
- Open yourself up to the life that God has purposed you to live. He has called us to rest and to enjoy life to the fullest!
Doing these things will assist you in breaking free from this deafning stronghold and walking into all that God has for you!
Loved to love,

The Grace of Time
The beauty of this time is the opportunity for each of us to step into the authenticity that we are qualified to receive God’s best; each and every one of us! Time is an awesome commodity issued in spurts to all who are walking on this Earth with injection of grace along the way. Thank you for grace for consistently monitoring our situations and letting us know when enough is enough and surrender is near.
The world set standards and consistently raises the bar of expectations; what even with a credit card some may not be able to reach the level of pleasing, the level of acceptance that we are seeking. Emotions are fickle like the mindset of some people, shallow like a grave in which they place you and use you and following the use of you toss you away like a bottle of coke -you are passed into the bin for refuse.
Jesus is into using the weak of the world for his pleasure. What education or the denial of financial aid would not do, the unadulterated revelation knowledge of God’s word- getting on your natural state is the difference maker to catapult you into all that God has for you. The experience of freedom in God’s word makes me hunger for more -laying down the world and accepting what God has for me is like the way a cat grabs a lint ball…..excitingly and filled with expectation.
We were created for this moment. What will you do with your moment?
