Pick up your copy of Kyle Winkler’s new book SHUT UP, DEVIL today wherever books are sold. You can also watch Kyle Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays at 1pm ET right here on Pioneer Network.
God is a master of flipping scripts! I’m telling you, what people discount about you is just what He’ll use about you.
Today, I’m celebrating because my third book, SHUT UP, DEVIL is in stores everywhere. 📖 🎉
BUT this wasn’t supposed to happen.
Because, in childhood, teachers were convinced I had a reading problem. Each day for two years they sent me into a bus with only a few other students to receive extra help.
From then on, I HATED books.
So much so that in fifth grade I was disciplined because I didn’t accumulate the assigned “reading points” for the month.
I’ll never forget the phrase my teacher used at that quarter’s parent-teacher conference: “If Kyle doesn’t start swimming, he’s going to sink.”
I left devastated, in tears. 😭
In SHUT UP, DEVIL, I tell the story of how this led to me being placed in a seventh-grade class that was not-so-affectionally labeled, “7-O-DUMB.”
For the remainder of school, the results of those ever-despised standardized tests read, “Needs improvement in reading and comprehension.”
BUT GOD!
You see, somewhere along the line—without my conscious effort—God transformed something in me. He turned my childhood weakness into my adult strength.
I’m not only reading more books than I have time to read, but I’m writing books!
“Hey, Mrs. Marcinkowski—I’m swimming now!”
BECAUSE OF GOD! 🏊♂️ 🙏
God is using how the enemy tried to defeat me in my mind to defeat the enemy’s work in the minds of so many others.
Talk about SHUT UP, DEVIL! ❌
Today is more than another “pub day,” as they call it in the book world. But it’s my “look-what-the-Lord-has-done” day.
And I couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate it with the release of a message that’s all about encouraging people that what the enemy insists counts you out, God will use to count you in.
Be encouraged, friend! Whatever that is about you, know that God is working in you so that one day you and others will see what can only be because of God’s grace. 🙌
And it’ll shut the mouth of the enemy!
