In our new series, Elevation, Alan opens with a call to recognize what God is doing in hidden places — and how divine delays are often the very thing preparing us for divine elevation.

Drawing from the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel, this message reframes seasons of limitation, frustration, and unanswered prayer not as rejection, but as divine closure — moments when God lovingly shuts something in so that He can release something greater in due time. What looks like delay is often God building capacity, protecting calling, and storing up force for the moment He says, "Now."

Alan reveals how the opposition Hannah faced was not random, but a sign that her destiny was being contested. Through her consecration rather than collapse, God released a shift that not only changed her story — but altered the course of a nation. Her song became the prophetic soundtrack of promotion: "He lifts the needy from the ashes and seats them with princes."

This message invites anyone who has felt confined, misunderstood, or delayed to see their season through heaven's eyes. When God "remembers," it marks the end of confinement and the beginning of assignment — a divine decree of acceleration, favor, and repositioning.

Whether you are coming out of a season of pressure, waiting, or warfare, this is a reminder that the hand that protected you in adversity is the same hand that promotes you with authority.

Your seat is changing. Your season is shifting. And God is doing it in due time.
