(Deuteronomy 33:23 NKJV)

And of Naphtali he said: “O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full of the blessing of the Lord, possess the west and the south.”

— God can satisfy you with His favor, to the point where you are not moved by what happens day-to-day.

— You can enter into God’s rest, no matter what you are going through, because you are satisfied that God’s favor is on your life!


— You are satisfied with the fact that God’s favor and His grace are ON YOU to face and overcome every challenge!

— You rest in the fact that God actually trusts you to face what you are facing! You have grown to the point where He can trust you with things that would have CRUSHED YOU in the past! Not because you grow in your own power, but because you grew in HIS GRACE and FAVOR!

*** God will make your name great, but He will not do it until you can handle the season where NO ONE knows your name!

— God will process you in obscurity before He gives you the platform of notoriety!

— Moses was called to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. He was called to write the first 5 books of the Bible. He was called to be a national leader with lasting impact, but his preparation did not come on the national stage. His preparation came in the wilderness as he was processed for 40 years before he had an encounter with God at the burning bush.

— David was minding his own business, tending to his father’s sheep, when he was called home and then anointing to be the next King of Israel. He was called and anointed in a supernatural moment. A few weeks later he killed a giant and he was known all over the country. People were calling his name. But he was not processed yet. Before long he was on the run. He had to spend 13 years as a fugitive, living in caves, in fear for his life, before God elevated him to King of Judah and later King of Israel. God will process in obscurity!

— Paul was called by God to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles. Immediately after his conversion and his call, he tried to preach the Gospel twice. Do you know what happened? He was almost KILLED both times. It was the right thing at the wrong time. He was called, but he had not been processed yet. He had to go home and spend 3 years in obscurity, dying to the man he had become on his own, so he could become the man God called him to be.

— There is a difference between the CALL and the PREPARATION for the call. Many are called, but few want to endure the processing required for the platform!

— If you can’t handle obscurity, God can’t trust you with popularity!

— God Speaks To Your TO BE Stage from Your RIGHT NOW Stage!

— God calls those things which BE NOT as though they already ARE!

— God calls the END from the Beginning!

— God called the weakest man from the weakest clan and called him a MIGHTY MAN OF VALOR! (Gideon)

— God specializes in using people the world dismissed!

— God can look at a coward and call him a CHAMPION because He knows that a CHAMPION is IN HIM!

— God calls OUT OF YOU what He placed IN YOU before the world began!

— You must open your heart to what God reveals, even when you don’t know how God will do it!

— You are a called a “believer” for a reason! Your job is to BELIEVE God!

— Open your heart to God’s dream for your life!
