From Rebel to Holy Rebel

I thought I was fine … until I realized I was spiritually blind.
Tormented by thoughts I couldn’t silence.

Chained by lies I didn’t know were lies, but I believed.
Then God revealed the hidden battles I was really fighting—

and Jesus set me free.

“Jesus didn’t just forgive me. He delivered me from darkness.”

Hidden Battles

I can attest to all the happenings in this book. I am her mother and lived through many of these stories because my daughter shared them with me. I am so proud of her that she was able to overcome her demons and proud of the person that emerged from these nightmares. A warrior who will do God’s work.

Anne-Marie’s book gives a riveting account of a life filled with spiritual struggles that only God could heal and did. She is a faith filled Christian woman who backs up every one of her experiences with scriptural references from the Bible so that she can lead others with similar struggles to God.

I found myself turning each page, engaged in the story of Anne-Marie’s life. Open and vulnerable in what she shares, it is clear that Anne-Marie’s experienced relationship with God/Jesus/Holy Spirit changed her life. This was a courageous sharing and offers an opportunity to see how God uniquely speaks to each one through the stories of our lives.

As one who has experienced what can only be explained as good vs. evil, Ms. Michaelis’s book really hit home to me. As a person of Faith, I have always believed that evil is always present and trying to take us down. It is Faith, trust, and conviction that pull one through. The author not only openly shares her challenges but gives those that are looking for hope, reassurance, and the tools that she used to win this battle in her life. I highly recommend it to anyone of Faith or anyone wondering if they are battling something they just cannot seem to make sense of that is constantly trying to tear them or those around them down. Kudos to Ms. Michaelis for having the courage to write this book and for sharing her path to successfully win this battle.

Brutally honest and inspiring. As Anne-Marie's son, I definitely was there through the bad and good. Reading all the stories again, I still am astonished and very grateful that she was able to find God and transform into a much stronger person. To the readers, this is a very vivid and shocking recollection but it is definitely worth the read and I think anyone can draw inspiration from her journey.

My time with AM has been life changing for me. I would have lived all my life listening to the enemies lies. Now I know how those lies have negatively influenced me. Have not totally reprocessed it all but I am acutely aware of changes needed in my thinking. (partially through "The Truth To Overcoming Hidden Battles" class)

Truly powerful and captivating memoir. My mother is one of the strongest people I know, but reading her story really opened up my eyes to the battles she's had to overcome and the way God has led her to where she is now. As Anne-Marie's son, it was very difficult to relive many of these stories, but I'm proud of her for sharing her testimony. I would encourage anyone struggling with their faith or going through a hard time right now to read this book. It might change your outlook on life and open your eyes to the way God speaks to you.

I read "Hidden Battles" in one sitting. The intense, honest response from a person that recognizes our vulnerability to the evil around us was inspiring. By God's design, the author showed me that I too can be an overcomer.

This is so honest and shows true growth by the author. She tells her story very well. This book is a story of the struggles of life, but God doesn’t give one more than one can handle. Anne-Marie shows how God helped her handle the struggles she was faced with. She shows the strength that comes from the struggles. She was able to flick the demons off her shoulders and find the best of what God gives. She tells the story so we can all have hope for a better relationship with God.

About Me​

Christian Author & Coach

I am a Christian author, certified professional coach, and certified personal trainer.  I spent a life-time in a state of not knowing or understanding the hidden battles of spiritual warfare, until God opened my eyes spiritually through encounters with God and the demonic.  I grew to have an unwavering faith and trust in God and Jesus.  To complement extensive life-experiences I have formal coach training.

  • My purpose is to inspire you to surrender and trust Jesus as your Lord and Savior and to testify for the Lord of what He has and continues to do for me.

  • My mission is to play a small role in building God’s Kingdom by planting seeds of knowledge of His Word, and by emphasizing the urgency to take that step. By sharing my story of how God revealed the Hidden Battles that lurk within each of us and the way out – Jesus; and by helping you take that step into His design and purpose for your life; because things will change in ways you cannot imagine. If He can transform a rebel like me, He can transform you! I pray for the blinding to break off the eyes and hearts of those that are prevented from seeing and receiving salvation through Jesus, so that all may have a true and intimate relationship with Him.

  • My vision is to one day hear my Lord and Savior say to me “well done good and faithful servant” because I know my Jesus personally.

“The name “GodDesign” was born as I was observing a setting full of people relying on ‘man systems’ which included ‘human design’ readings. As I listened and noted what was going on around me.  I woke up with a sharp conviction: It is not ‘human design’ —it is GOD DESIGN. This ministry exists to point people away from counterfeit identity systems and back to the God who created and redeems them through Jesus Christ.”

“For physical training is of some value, but godliness (spiritual training) is of value in everything and in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and for the life to come.”
—1 Timothy 4:8

Short, easy-to-read stories about how God revealed to me the spiritual realm and the hidden battles that lurk within each of us. I was freed from spiritual strongholds that held me back from being my authentic self and living a blessed life for the first time in 40 long years by the grace of God. This memoir includes individual or group reflections. Choose which version of my memoir is right for you.  Some of you may want a deeper dive into spiritual warfare or want to learn more about what that means, while others may want a deeper dive into their identity and purpose. Regardless of which of my memoirs you choose, my hope is that you decide to take the walk with me as I share my journey, while you participate in exploring your journey alongside mine.

Still Wrestling With Doubt Or Unbelief?

Many can’t see the truth because the enemy has blinded them.

The Bible says, “The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving …” (2 Corinthians 4:4).

But Jesus can still open your eyes.

If you’re reading this and still feel uncertain, resistant, or skeptical—know this: you’re not alone, and you’re not beyond hope. The Bible tells us that Satan works overtime to blind people from seeing the truth about Jesus. But God’s light is stronger than any darkness.

What You’re Feeling May Be a Spiritual Battle. There is a war over your soul—and it begins in the mind and heart. But even if you’ve doubted before, or feel hardened now, the Holy Spirit can still break through.

Prayer for Spiritual Eyes to Be Opened:

“God, I admit I don’t have all the answers. If Satan has been blinding my heart and mind, I ask You to lift the veil. Jesus—open my eyes.  Remove the blindness and show me truth. Break the power of darkness over my life. Jesus, reveal Yourself to me. Help me to see truth and surrender fully. I don’t want to miss You.”

Declaration for Loved Ones Still Blinded:

“In the name of Jesus, I bind the spirit of deception and unbelief off of my loved ones. I declare that their spiritual eyes will be opened and their hearts softened. I speak freedom, light, and truth over them by the authority of Jesus Christ. Amen.”
