About the author Dr. Nia: Unconventional, unorthodox, and unapologetically me when it comes to ministry. She believes the Word of God as stated in Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. However, she knows that the changes in society and time mean that we must change how we convey the Word of God to this new generation. Nia’s ministry is to the downtrodden, the outcasts, and to those the church has given up on. She has a strong love and compassion for these types of people; she understands that deep feeling of rejection all too well. At one point, it was her. Her mission is to engage the millennials with uncommon practices in ministry - practices that actually appeal to them. She then equips them with the Word of the God and all the necessary armor that they need for today’s battles. Finally, she sends them forth, empowered that they may bring others into the Kingdom of God. Untold Chronicles | 3

M
y life has always been kind of crazy so I don’t know exactly where to start. My birth name is Antonia Rena McDaniel. I was born in Chicago, IL during the early 1970’s to a teenage mother. You know, back then you didn’t have children out of wedlock and have it be okay. Or have it be the norm shall I say. From the beginning of conception, it was rough for me!

Prophetic words for the soul A Set Back, or Divine Set Up? By Becky Porter
I hear the Lord saying: come and see what I have in store for you—come and see! I have been preparing some very special things for you for a long time now that you are going to like VERY much! I have some surprises waiting in the wings for you that will truly stun and amaze you! You have not understood why the path you have been on has been so difficult and incomprehensible, and you have wondered, “Why the extreme difficulty, and why the delays?” What you don’t understand is that every set back is actually my divine set up. It will launch you further and higher than you ever could have gone without the experience! Look at the life of Joseph, for his life was one seeming set back and delay after another. In actuality, each of the things he went through equipped him to one day rule. He would reign in a position of great honor and authority that affected the lives and destinies of MANY, including his own family (Genesis 50:20). Had Joseph not gone through those things, and had he not chosen to continue to trust Me, (meaning to persevere, obey, and surrender to Me) he never would have graduated with honor and been catapulted into his destiny! I have seen your great struggle, and I have also seen your 42 | Untold Chronicles
great desire to please and obey Me. You still want to walk hand-in-hand with Me, even wen you have not understood the severe tests and trials, and even when you wondered if I had abandoned you. I am well pleased with your heart that is set to worship and obey Me. I am well pleased that you have surrendered your heart to Me and submitted to the path I have set before you. Even though it has not always made sense to you, and even when your circumstances have caused you great suffering and distress! I am well pleased with you, my precious one, I am WELL pleased! I know you often struggle with your footing, and you feel that you are taking one step forward and two steps backward. You feel as if you are slipping and sliding along the way and making little headway. In actuality, you have made great forward strides and you are much further along in your journey than you thought! I am bringing you into a season of restoration, abundance and harvest. You will have a deep and abiding sense of contentment, fulfillment, and peace. I will turn your mourning into dancing and you will leap for joy! No longer will you look to man to fulfill your needs, for you will know Me as your Provider in a way you have not previously expe-
rienced! Get into position and get ready to go “full speed ahead” for I am going to suddenly pick up the pace. Things are going to begin to move forward very quickly, and you are going to find yourself traveling at a very high rate of speed. This may be a little unsettling at times. You may question whether you are ready or not, but know that I would not have brought you to this place if you were not ready. I know you have often looked at Joseph’s life to find understanding and encouragement. The biggest key to Joseph’s success was that he communed with me daily even when he did not understand the things he had to endure. Everything that was happening to him looked to be
the exact opposite of the promises I gave him regarding destiny. Yet, Joseph never gave up hope, and he never stopped trusting Me. At times, his faith wavered due to his extreme circumstances, but he knew I gave him specific promises. He knew I would be faithful to perform those promises at the appointed time… and I was! As it was with Joseph, so it is with you. Arise from your place of discouragement and despair. Let’s do this together—I will be with you every step of the way! The victory that is coming will be WELL WORTH the wait. It will be WELL WORTH everything you had to go through to get there! Never forget: I love you with an everlasting love. I will never leave you, nor forsake you. NO, NEVER!
Scriptures to keep in mind Corinthians 4:8-9 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed.We are perplexed, but not drivento despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. Weget knocked down, but we are not destroyed. Psalm 34:17-19 The righteous cry out, and theLord hears them; He deliversthem from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but theLord delivers him from them all.
Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [curing their pains and their sorrows]. Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Psalm 30:11-12 You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!
Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them. Isaiah 41:10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
