This morning, the Lord was downloading SO MUCH into my spirit. Over and over, I kept hearing:
🔥 THE DELAY IS NOT DENIAL! 🔥
The pressing and crushing I have been experiencing are NOT without purpose. God is using this season to produce FRESH OIL and a NEW ANOINTING! 🕊️🔥
MY PURPOSE IS FAR GREATER THAN MY PAIN! ❤️🔥
I have to keep reminding myself to look toward eternity and remember that this life is temporary. Everything I have walked through, every tear I have cried, and every battle I have faced will become a testimony of God’s faithfulness! 🙌
This has been a season of preparation. A season of refining. A season of surrender.
This has been a GOD-AND-I JOURNEY. ❤️
And if I can be transparent, it has been a lonely season.
Sometimes the loneliness screams so loudly that it tries to drown out what the Lord is speaking. There have been moments when the silence felt overwhelming, when the tears wouldn’t stop, and when I couldn’t see what God was doing.
But even in the loneliness, GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL! 🙌😭❤️
This morning, as I was crying and praying, I heard the Lord speak to my spirit:
🔥 BREAKTHROUGH IS HERE! 🔥 KEEP PUSHING! 🔥 KEEP PRAISING! 🔥 KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME!
Immediately, I began thinking about Peter in Matthew 14:28–31.
Peter stepped out of the boat and began walking on the water toward Jesus. He was doing something IMPOSSIBLE in the natural!
But the moment he took his eyes off Jesus and began focusing on the wind and the waves, he started to sink.
And what did Jesus do?
IMMEDIATELY, HE STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND AND CAUGHT HIM! 🙌
That spoke so deeply to my spirit!
🔥 SOMEBODY NEEDS TO HEAR THIS TODAY! 🔥
DON’T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF JESUS!
Not in the waiting. Not in the loneliness. Not in the pressing. Not in the crushing. Not when everything around you seems to be falling apart.
The enemy would love nothing more than for you to become so consumed with your circumstances that you lose sight of the One who called you out of the boat!
But hear me today!
📣 THE STORM DOES NOT HAVE THE FINAL WORD! JESUS DOES! 📣
The pressing is not meant to destroy you. God can use it to PREPARE you.
The crushing is not the end of your story. There is FRESH OIL coming out of this season! 🕊️
The waiting has NOT been wasted!
And the pain you have endured will not be greater than the PURPOSE God has for your life!
I don’t know about you, but I refuse to allow temporary circumstances to cause me to lose sight of God’s eternal promises!
❌ I refuse to let loneliness silence His voice! ❌ I refuse to let the pain of the process make me abandon my purpose! ❌ I refuse to allow what I see in the natural to dictate what I believe in the supernatural!
I HAVE COME TOO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW! 🔥
My prayer this morning was simple:
Lord, help me keep my eyes on You. Help me not to be swayed by situations or circumstances. When the winds are raging and the waves are crashing, remind me that You are still in control.
I know You are faithful concerning Your promises. I know You are holding me close, even when I cannot feel Your hand.
I trust Your plan even when I cannot see what is in front of me.
I WILL NOT QUIT! I WILL NOT GIVE UP! I WILL NOT TURN BACK!
I will keep pushing. I will keep praying. I will keep praising.
🔥 AND I WILL PRAISE UNTIL THE BREAKTHROUGH COMES! 🙌🔥
I may not understand every part of this journey, but I know the One who is leading me.
And if He tells me to step out of the boat, I AM STEPPING OUT!
Because I would rather walk on the water with Jesus than remain in the boat paralyzed by fear! 🌊🙌
I TRUST. I STAND. I HOPE. I BELIEVE. ❤️🔥
🔥 THE DELAY IS NOT DENIAL! 🔥 THE PRESSING IS PRODUCING FRESH OIL! 🔥 MY PURPOSE IS GREATER THAN MY PAIN! 🔥 MY EYES ARE FIXED ON JESUS!
And one day, the very season that brought me to my knees will be the testimony I stand and declare to others about the FAITHFULNESS OF GOD! 🙌😭❤️
DON’T GIVE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR PROCESS. GOD IS NOT FINISHED!
