Words from heaven....spoiler alert, testimonies are loading :)

It’s been a minute since I wrote on this blog...I don’t even know if this is for the blog or for public consumption, but here we are.

I’ve been feeling a MASSIVE prompting in my spirit to write for weeks, but I’ve just been putting it off and prioritizing the writing that “brings in money,” like my LinkedIn posts or my newsletters.

Somewhere along the way, I forgot how to write without it being about sales, or a transaction, or for “visibility,” but to genuinely help someone and to also just brain dump/unburden myself.

So much of my creation and creativity has been tied to making money ....and I’m good at it BUTTTTT what does that look like when God is just trying to use my voice to pass a message?

So here I am, with no angle, no perspective, no sales pitch, and no invitation to engage, just obedience.

Over the last few weeks/months, God has highlighted things for me and, if I’m honest, has asked me to share, but I didn’t… so in no particular order:

1. We are in a season of a shift; things are changing MASSIVELY in the spirit, and we are going to start seeing the manifestations of it in the physical. This shift represents a new season. A new season where the attitudes and character of the last season can not come with us. This season represents a season of double portions, exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or imagine.

   
   

2. He is the God of “Suddenly”; things are going to happen suddenly. One day you are in season A, and the next day you are in season B. It’s going to be that quick; don’t miss it, get ready. Someone said if it’s not God’s time, you cannot force it, but when it’s God’s time, you cannot stop it. So I suggest you prepare for the shift, or else you might get whiplash LOL. Suddenly, like engagements, weddings, babies, jobs, business growth, clarity, and everything in between. The thing you’ve been praying about for YEAAAARS is about to come to pass; make sure you’re not caught off guard

   
   

3. Restoration: the scripture that keeps coming up is the one about the locust in Joel….Joel 2:25: I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust and the chewing locust. From what I’ve been learning about the restoration of TIME, it is a unique type of restoration. It’s not like “oh things will be fast-tracked, that your head will spin”, but it’s like the timing will align and all the things you thought you have “lost” will all of a sudden be there.

   
   

4. He requires honesty ... like a snot-nosed, I’m confessing my sins, I repent kind of honesty. He is almost expecting an acknowledgement that we are in fact broken and cannot do it on our own. It’s almost like the prerequisite of this season is massive surrender that begins when we get honest about the dark side of our souls. The Lord has been confronting me about this one all week. He has been pointing out all the parts of my heart I’ve refused to open up for healing; even though I’ve brought 99% of it to Him, He is demanding the last 1%.

   
   

5. The last thing I feel like I’ve been sensing, in all of this change, this transition, this restoration, this preparation, is that our heart posture is thanksgiving… weird, right? It’s tough to give thanks when things are more uncertain than ever, but that’s exactly why He is asking us to give thanks, because it’s already handled. He wants us to approach this season from a place of victory because we have already overcome. It’s like when you know that God will provide, but you don’t know when, and you don’t know how, and it’s 1 day till rent is due, and then He pulls a Hail Mary. Instead of anxiety, just get excited! Because we don’t know how He will turn it around, but you know the story is going to be sweet LOL

   
   

6. I lied; there’s one more thing….Pray. the bible says in Philippians 4:6: do not be anxious about anything; instead, pray about everything. I take this literally. When any doubts or anxiety start to creep up because I’m human, I just pray instead of spiralling. True story: the other night, I was at an R&B night and started to feel randomly anxious; I’m not even sure what it was about, but right there and then, I started speaking in tongues lol… when people were bussing it down, I was kayobashing in the spirit.

   
   

Ok, I think I’m done… all in all, the Lord is doing soooo much; don’t get distracted now. Make space for Him to speak to you. It’s not about what you “do” in this season to “make it happen”; it's about who He is and who you’re becoming.

Selah…..
