Hi ,

This week’s chapter might be the most sobering one yet — a heartbreaking story of love, boundaries, and the cost of letting the wrong door open.

Welcome to Chapter 4: Breaking the Cycle Before It Breaks You — featuring Officer Godinez, our God’s One Appointed Time (GOAT), and introducing a powerful name of God: Jehovah Delet — The Lord My Door.

📝 Chapter 4 Summary:

Kiki had finally started to rebuild her life. Free from abuse. Focused on her kids. Living in discipline and peace. But when Dylan — her abusive ex — knocked at the door on a snowy night, everything she had fought to protect was on the line.

One crack in the boundary. One moment of pity. One open door — and her world unraveled. What follows is a story of tragedy, yes — but also divine intervention. Because just as the enemy tried to cross the line, God had already marked it with blood and grace. A red wooden cross, laid on a child’s pillow, became the symbol of heaven’s authority.

Officer Godinez, led by a whispered prayer, arrived just in time to rescue a barefoot child in the snow. This chapter reminds us: discipline isn’t just about strength — it’s about protection. And when we partner with Jehovah Delet, God Himself becomes our boundary.

🏆 Champion Trait: Discipline
The quiet courage to say no when everything in you wants to say yes.

✝️ Name of God:
Jehovah Delet – The Lord My Door

He’s the boundary around your peace. The shield at your threshold. The door no enemy can cross.

🕊️ Reflection Questions:

  • What door have you reopened that God asked you to keep closed?

  • How has a lack of discipline cost you peace in the past?

  • Who in your life needs to see healthy boundaries modeled with love?

  • What would it look like to let Jehovah Delet become your Defender?
