“Anchor yourself in my love.
I am preparing you to release the Kingdom on mission.
Rest in my love.
Delight in Me.”- God
These words were spoken over me through the power and grace of Holy Spirit. I know I’ve been quiet over here for a while, and let me clue you in on what’s been going on. I am in a season of transition.
What does that mean?
Well, since the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2021, I have felt this stirring in my spirit. It’s been a stirring I can’t ignore. Every time I tried to shrug it off or got distracted by the things of this world I would be stopped in my tracks, almost on a weekly basis, that would cause me to pause and remember this statement spoken over me in the stillness of my room on November 24, 2020.
Here’s the thing, I don’t know what exactly God is preparing for me and He is not in any hurry for me to find out. What I do know- when the Spirit stirs, it means I need to pay attention and listen to the whispers of Holy Spirit. I’m often reminded in this season of the verse in Proverbs that says:
I am convinced that in this transitional season I’m going to be doing a lot of waiting on God, but that doesn’t mean I stay stagnant. I trust that when I am anchored to the love of Christ, I am able to confidently walk in step with Him especially when unforeseen opportunities arise.
- When I take a step of faith into this new wilderness of uncertainty
- When I say YES to a NEW job opportunity that found me
- When I determine my priorities
- When I navigate what it means to rebuild and cultivate
- When I feel like I am all alone in the pursuit…
…yet I am wholly consecrated to God, anchored in His love- I can’t lose! And it’s not about winning or losing, it’s about cultivating a sincere relationship with God through Jesus and listening in obedience to His truth. I strongly believe God is at work. Currently, I am in the phase where I can’t tangibly see it, but I hear His whisper. An anointed call to utilize and steward the power God has gifted to me to release His message of Kingdom living here on Earth.
Friends, if you told me 5 years ago that this would be happening in my life, I would probably be apprehensive and scared. God knew He was preparing me for this moment and He moved slowly. I’m celebrating my 35th year of life this month, and for some reason I have this feeling that the next 5 years will be transformational- whatever that means, I’m not sure. I don’t want to move forward without acknowledging the change God is doing. Five years from now, I want to remember who I was and document how God has been faithful to His Word spoken over me during this season.
What is God teaching you in this time?
Where is He leading you?
I would love to hear about how God is establishing the steps of your faith journey in the comments below. Let’s be a supportive community that encourages one another.
No step is too big. No step is too small. God has no boundaries to His love. Embrace it!
Thank you for sharing, Janie-Jean. I feel the same way (for the past 6 yrs.) It is in the waiting that HE teaches us. It’s in the waiting, when it’s quiet that we can hear HIM. In our study of Elijah, when Elijah ran to hide in the cave, it says the earth shook, but God was not in the earthquake, After the earthquake, fire. But God was not in the fire. After the fire was the sound of a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. (1 Kings 19:12-13). When the Lord wants our attention, HE whispers. And we need to prepare ourselves to listen. Listen to that still, small voice. A whisper is only heard when we are close. It is an act of intimacy. It draws us in. I will be praying for you as you listen to HIS whisper to you. May HE continue to bless you richly. Love you!
