Hello Queen, how are you? I pray you are well and keeping heart. God has a powerful message for you today as we continue to journey through this season together. Are you ready? Open your mind and heart to receive this message….
“Daughter of the kingdom, welcome into my house. Soon you will taste and see that I am good. I wish you could see how many blessings I have in my storehouse for you. Freedom, peace, and honor, I give to you. The gifts I give doesn’t look anything like what the world gives. Some gifts are physical, but most are spiritual. Honor me with your whole heart and you will receive them all. Walk in righteousness, walk in love. Power and authority will be given unto you as you trust in me. I want you to purify your heart and grow in the fruits of the Spirit. They are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law. Go, I will be with you always, and I will watch the desires of your heart.”
God took me through a wilderness season where He literally separated me from the world so that He could mold me in the privacy of the wilderness and change me completely from the inside out. At the time, I didn’t realize how much inner work I needed. I didn’t realize how broken I truly was until He woke me up. There were some things that had to be completely removed from my life in order for me to be whole and in order for me to receive the spiritual gifts He had in store for me.
Once I surrendered to His call on my life, things got pretty uncomfortable….. but then my life started to become way more…. peaceful and fulfilling. I began to cherish each moment more with the people in and even out of my life. For instance, I was more intentional with each and every customer I saw each day at work, and in my home life I spent less time distracted while I was around my loved ones and learned to be more in tune with them. God started to alter my life in themes, one week at a time He would deal with me on patience, while the next week He’d deal with me in obedience (read about my journey here). Some themes lasted longer than others in order for me to truly understand it and love it with my whole heart.
People around me started opening up to me and telling me how my growth inspired them and how they wanted to have a closer relationship with God just from watching my evolution. Things that I had prayed about in the secret place began to manifest in the physical. I began to have more and more prophetic dreams. The fruits of the Spirit grew within me, and my warrior Spirit became more prominent. I started to walk with a confidence because of this inner knowing of the new creation I had become in Christ. I began to learn more about my true identity and my purpose. Only these things can be learned from God. The peace that you received from surrendering to Him surpasses all understanding. If you had asked me what the biggest thing was that I held dear that came from God was, I’d say “peace”. I literally cannot describe in words properly what it’s like. But I’ll try…. It’s like, I face many battles day in and day out, but I have this understanding that whatever happens is all in God’s plan for me and it’s all for my good. With that in mind I know that whether something good or bad happens, I have joy. Because in the end God and salvation is the true prize. I have joy in knowing that regardless of how any situation ends, my faith lies in something much much greater. So I don’t fret over any situation, and I don’t fret over other person. I can’t control these things. I can only control the choices I choose to make. And I choose to follow God’s will all of my life, daily.
Sis, I can tell you that the blessings that God has for you is like nothing in this world. I can truly say that I’ve been way more emotional than I’ve ever been in my life as I’ve grown spiritually. I know it’s because I’ve waken up, and everything is so much more real to me. I literally feel everything these days. I have found such a new passion that I’ve learned to use for good. Passion is a strength that God gives. Would you rather be numb and scrolling on your phone all day watching everyone else’s life as your’s passes you by? Or would you rather live every day like it’s your last and enjoy every detail of what God has laid out for you?
I tell you, that if you learned to live a true life of repentance and allowed God to shower you with the blessings of His storehouse, you would be in complete bliss like I am. I promise you, the world I’m living in with God now is completely different than the world I previously knew. I completely understand the scripture now that says, “Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you.” (1 Peter 4:12 NLT) Lots of random things have been happening to me because I follow Christ whole heartedly. I’ve never experienced life like this before, and it’s because because I was lukewarm and now I have a fire that cannot be put out.
