I truly believe the natural realm is a reflection of what
is going on spiritually. After my workout, I light candles
as a symbol of the Holy Ghost’s fire that burns within
me. I sometimes sit and listen to God in prayer and
scripture. I often read several books and articles on
what my spirit is leading me to. Prayer journaling is
also my favorite thing to do.
P. Sloan Joseph: How has God helped you in your
relationship with your husband?
Atiba Jackson: The fruit of the Spirit helps with my
relationship with God. I "try" to see my husband more
spiritually than fleshly. I pray for my husband daily
even when I don't feel like it. The Power of a Praying
Wife, by Stormie Omartian has been a blessing.
P. Sloan Joseph: How has God helped you in your
relationship with your children?
Atiba Jackson: I constantly pray for my kids daily in
regards to the choices they make, friendships,
teachers, and all who are around them. I feel the
enemy's ultimate plan is to destroy our children (the
seeds). I pray for God's covering over them and that it
will reach to others.
P. Sloan Joseph: How has God helped you in your
relationship with the staff, students, and parents on
your job?
Atiba Jackson: I am still learning to see people as
spiritual beings. I pray before I get to work and when I
leave. Every day I pray that I set up the atmosphere at
work for God's will and work to be done.
Ephesians 6:12 For the struggle is not against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers, against authorities,
against the powers of this dark world and against
spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm.
P. Sloan Joseph: How would you explain God to an
unbeliever?
Atiba Jackson: Actions speak louder than words.
Showing God's love, mercy and grace to unbelievers is
showing who He is.
