DOUBLE BLESSING, otherwise known as Ja’Naya and Jay’Den-Alexis, are twin sisters that love to write Christian novels. They graduated with an Associates of Arts in Creative Writing and a Bachelor’s Degree in English and Writing – Journalism. They both enjoy singing and sharing the Good News, John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Jay'Den-Alexis' Testimony:
I gave my life to the Lord when I was young. However, when I was eight years old, I noticed a person who called himself a Christian but didn’t live the Christian life. So, I rededicated my life to Christ when I was eight and told Jesus that I want to be a real Christian and show people what a true Christian is. My favorite scripture is, "You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you," (Song of Solomon 4:7).
Ja'Naya's Testimony:
I came to Christ when I was twelve. We were raised in a Christian home, and always knew and believed in God. But when I was about ten, I started to worry if I’d make it to heaven or not. I felt like I was a good person but knew Jesus was the only way. When I was twelve, I was watching a lady preacher on tv who said I needed to be on fire for Christ. God’s Spirit hit me in that moment, and I knew I needed to surrender my life to Jesus and become fully devoted to Him. So, I surrendered and literally felt God's hand on my back filling me with the Holy Spirit. Now I know I’m going to make it to heaven since Jesus lives inside me. "I baptize you with water for repentance, but after me will come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire," (Matthew 3:11).

To Encourage and Refresh the Soul
God is Our Friend
So many times we want people to talk to, hang out with, and do fun things. But when that doesn’t happen, and you’re alone, that should be a safe place too. You may not have friends because you’re busy, or others around you don’t have the same Christian values. I want to tell you now: that is ok. You are safe to not have many friends or none at all. You can still have fun, have dreams, and go on adventures. We were not put on this earth to have friends, but to preach the gospel and love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. So whatever season you are in, whether many friends or few, never forget your number one friend and supporter, Jesus Christ. Matthew 19:26 “ . . .with God all things are possible.”
Prayer
Heavenly Father, so many times we want friends and someone to like us back. But we don’t always have that in our lives. So I ask for peace, love, and joy to enter the hearts of the righteous. Some days they may be lonely, but help them look up for their redemption draweth near. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Hope Comes from God
How many times has our hope been drained? And how many times has God needed to build it back up? Many times probably. But I want to encourage those who feel tired. My encouragement is this: No matter how hard it gets, keep going. It may feel like you’re in a dark tunnel, waiting for the light to appear. You may not see the end, and you wonder if it will ever come. But I promise you that it will. It is there. Hope keeps us going and God can give you that hope again and again. Just ask Him for it every day and every moment you need it. He will get you through your hardest hours. Matthew 19:26, “ . . .with God all things are possible.”
Prayer
Heavenly Father, sometimes our hope is so drained. Yet there is some tiny piece in us that encourages us to keep going: Faith. So in faith we ask for hope to be restored to those who are hurting and broken. Give them one more ounce of hope to make it through today so that You can carry them through the tunnel. Show them that the best is yet to come in You. Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
