In this interview, Kimberly Moses shares the emotional and spiritual journey behind writing her book on healing and forgiveness. She explains how she deliberately avoided bitterness, choosing instead to pray for those who hurt her, and how this process took a year of deep emotional work. Kimberly discusses the importance of serving from a place of love, balancing her roles as a minister, mother, and entrepreneur running a publishing and insurance business, and the challenges of allocating time to prayer requests, family, and her ventures. The conversation shifts to a biblical parallel with the story of Joseph, where Speaker B highlights how long‑standing resentment can surface and how forgiveness, even toward enemies, aligns with divine purpose. Both speakers emphasize that adversity can be used by God for greater good, encouraging accountability, perseverance, and staying true to one's vision despite criticism.
Chapters
Like, it took me a long time for me to write this book because I cried so much, and I didn't want to come from a place of being bitter because people can tell when you're bitter because you'd be like, God, you know, rain down fire and hellstorm on this person and blah blah blah. I couldn't do that. I had to pray like, God bless them, God prosper them, God, I pray they make it and be successful, you know. So I had to really, really come from that loving place. So It took a year for me to get over the hurt. So when I saw that person on social media or in passing, I didn't feel like, uh, or some kind of way I wasn't reliving the hurt anymore, but I, you know, begin to feel sorry for them, like, wow, you know. So, um, that's what the book's about. It's about healing, it's about getting deliverance and not being bitter and still being able to lead and be able to serve, because being a minister or being in ministry is service. Like Jesus came in the form of a servant, you know. So, uh, we talked about earlier about time, giving time. I'm always giving time. Like, I, I laugh, I'm like, God, my name, my last name is Moses because I feel like Moses in scripture, working from the sun down. Yeah, I'm always giving time. Like, I get a lot of prayer requests, I get a lot of people saying, can they talk to me, asking me for advice. Then I have to do my other projects and things like that for my businesses, my publishing company, my insurance business. So I'm really— and then I gotta try to spend time with my family and kids and all that stuff, you know, in the midst of that. So I'm always giving time, I'm always serving in some kind of capacity. So serving from a place of love and a pure heart, because you know God looks at your heart, and not coming from a place of bitterness, you know, because you could tell when somebody hurt, because the whole messages are just about hurt, you know, what somebody did to them, about haters and things like that. But you know, what about giving people encouragement and helping them move on and go forward. So that's what the book is about.
Yeah, you know, uh, as I'm listening to you, a couple of things came to mind, and one of them is the same— it's in the same story, the story of Joseph, when you say that, uh, people that you love hurt you. And so, uh, recently he had me to go back and read it again, and I— when I read it, it say that, uh, that when he went out, you know, to go see his brothers or whatever, his father told him to go out to go see his brothers, and they said, here come the dreamer. And so what he made me recognize in that is that they didn't just start hating Joseph when he was 17 after he had the dream. This was something that was built up. Yeah, for a long time. And so, and saying that is that sometimes we love people And it seemed as though people genuinely love us back, but at some point in time it's gonna get exposed of that resentment or that bitterness that you have towards someone, and they can't hide it anymore, you know what I'm saying? And so even, even with what you were saying about, um, you know, to love on them and to forgive them, even when, when his brothers came to him while he was in the palace and he told them, he said, look, He said, I don't have nothing against y'all. He said, I love y'all, I'm not going to do anything to you. You know, it get to a point where, uh, God put you in a position because he knew that you was the strongest one to do that. And you have to love your enemies as much as you love yourself. Because like he said, he said, God— he said, you didn't do this to me. He said, God sent me first.
Oh yes.
To save you. And so even those that have talked about us, even those that, that have done us wrong, like you said, we still have to hold some type of accountability for ourself because God put us in this position and he sent us first for those who criticize, those who hate. Because at the end of the day, Kim, it's just like this, just like all these visions, just like all these books, uh, your publishing company insurance company. If you try to tell people about your vision and about what you're seeing at this time, all this stuff coming at somebody at one time, they don't understand.
Yeah, so true.
Yeah, you know, so people start hating on things that they don't understand. And so, hey, but if God didn't put it in you, you just keep doing what you doing and things just gonna— as you already been a testament to, things just gonna fall in place.
Yes, amen, amen. So true. And I like what you said about Joseph, you know, and you brought such a key— some key points out. Like, one thing I learned about Joseph's story and his brothers hating on him, it was like levels of hate. They hated him because he was always telling on them to the father, and they hated him even more when Joseph's father gave him that coat of colors. But Joseph, he kept his heart pure. After all that hurt, he said, what was meant for evil, God worked it out for my good. Yeah, so I love how you brought that story up with Joseph, you know, like you said, I had to go through it. Like, people that may be going through something right now, they had to go through it. So I like what you said.
I mean, even it— not, not to get off the subject or anything, but even when he was in the prison
