Protecting Purpose

Transition is all around us- especially as we begin to close out the year. This means it is so vital to discern when God is calling us to shift into a new season. Isaiah 43:19 says, "Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, now it will spring forth; will you not be a ware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness [and] rivers in the desert" (AMP). Sometimes, it's not that God isn't speaking or doing new things, it's simply that we aren't aware of it. My prayer is that we would be more aware of when God is shifting our lives so that we would be able to more passionately and intentionally pursue purpose. The unrest you feel in your spirit is not coincidental, it's probably time to shift. Let's talk about it. 

Truth is, if the Lord showed us everything that we’d have to go through in order to reach our purpose, many of us would say NO right off the bat. This season though, is one where God is calling for an UNRESTRICTED YES! Those who are submitted and found in the posture of humility are God will use in this next hour to push His agenda in the earth. As difficult as it may be, do you have an Abraham kind of faith? Journey with me through Genesis 22: 1-3 as we fight together to divorce the contingencies!

You’re not going through trials just because “that’s the way life goes”. I need you to understand that there is supernatural activity surrounding your story. God has intentionally and divinely guided the things that you’ve gone through in order to make you more credible for where you’re going next. You now have an opportunity to help break the back of unbelief off of God’s people and it’s because your story has PROVEN you. This episode will remind you that nothing is wasted.

Are you sure you really have the discipline for where you desire to go? Yes, you've worked hard to get where you are but in order to see the manifestation of what you've been working so hard for, you have to maintain a certain level of discipline. Sha'Carri Richardson (21 y/o track and field athlete) has shattered records, combatted culture stereotypes, secured her spot in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games only to fail a drug test and have her dream of obtaining an olympic gold medal in her individual 100 m sprint event stripped from her all in the timespan of a few weeks. Can we say headlines? In this episode, I extract the lesson we can all learn from Sha'Carri's situation. We've all made decisions we later regretted but another choice you'll also have to make, is whether or not you choose to pay attention to the lesson it provides.

Ever wondered if God just went silent? The Bible tells us multiple times that if we cry out to the Lord, He will not only hear us but He will answer. Be encouraged to weed out the distractions in your life so that you can hear God clearly. God has an infinite number of resources when it comes to speaking to His children but it is our obligation to pay attention and to know His voice.

Studies have shown that approximately 84% of women and 75% of men have admitted to being involved in a toxic relationship at some point in their life. If you've found yourself in this position or are even fighting to be free of toxic behavior now, be encouraged in this: Healing is possible for you! Don't let the enemy lie to you and try to bind you with memories of your past. New love, new relationships and real freedom are 100% attainable and God wants that for our lives! Part 2 of this conversation is definitely the encouragement you need to start shifting your mindset so that you can fully embrace the healthy, thriving and growing relationships God desires for you.

Whew Chile! This is the conversation you need to break up with your past! Have you ever really sat down and thought about how you ever got involved in that toxic relationship in the first place? Was it something he said? Was it the way she looked at you like you were the only man left on the planet? Trauma bonding is real. The misinterpretation of unhealthy environments does happen. But you also don't have to be that person who skips over the red flags while also disregarding the green flags. My sister Alicia has dedicated herself to helping women heal from their past traumas while learning to fully embrace the fullness of who they are. She and I will discuss the ins and outs of toxicity in relationships before delving into how we can heal from them and move forward.

Resolving that your journey is not going to look like the journey of the person next to you can be a hard truth. Especially when it seems like everyone is way further along than you are or their business is taking off quicker. Maybe they even found love sooner than you did and you’re wondering if you missed your moment. One of the most beautiful things about God is he writes the best and most intricate stories for His children and not one of them is the same. Learning to appreciate where God has you and how your unique process is positioning you for purpose, is the key to mastering the way you navigate your purpose venture.

Can you relate to receiving a countless number of prophecies and then waiting and waiting just to find yourself discouraged because they have yet to come to pass? I’d challenge you to ask yourself if you really understand how the prophetic works. God uses prophetic people to send warnings, encouragement, correction and sometimes to give instruction and insight concerning our future. But our participation in the process, will make all the difference in the result. Let’s talk about how we can actively participate in our personal prophetic movements to finally be able to witness a real manifestation.
