Some destinies are not defeated by enemies; they are defeated by a bad covenant. There exists a type of pain that many people experience in some way, however they rarely share or talk about. That is the realization that the individual you have chosen to spend the rest of your life with, is not actually helping you follow your call. Rather, he is quietly blocking your path. You prayed. You believed. And you felt like God heard you. But as time went on, and as your sense of direction and strength started to wane, what at one point seemed like an ideal marriage (kingdom) became your largest obstacle. And there are many others out there experiencing this same level of quiet despair. These women continue to wake up next to someone who could/should be empowering them in their call, but rather than doing just that, has instead become the area where their purpose is being stifled. It's hard to accept that a part of your life may be terribly wrong because you believe in the sacredness of marriage and covenant. However, not all marriages are called from God. To admit that things are badly wrong can seem like admitting you failed. Yet, remaining silent will never help to rectify issues that need to be faced. The Veil and the Blade enters into those spaces of pain and shares a woman’s story whose life held a high degree of purpose and calling, which was then significantly affected by a relationship that appeared to fulfill the dreams she had about finding her husband. However over time, she came to realize that he was not fulfilling anything she ever dreamed about except perhaps being a fake or a counterfeit. The veil represents deception that conceals these truths – how charming can look like controlling and how relationships can be counterfeit and still drain the life force given to us by God. The blade represents the moment when truth cuts through confusion – when a woman sees clearly again, finds her voice again and refuses to allow her destiny to die quietly. This book is for the woman who has experienced this too. For the woman who has questioned why she hasn’t seen an advancement in her calling. For the woman who has quietly asked herself: How does deception look so attractive? I was blown away by the man who took my breath away. Now, he is the reason I barely take a breath anymore.
