Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me. Hold me close to you with a willing spirit that obeys whatever you say.
Psalm 51:12
“Boy, we had a time last night!” More like we had a time the last 2 ½ years. Lord! Send help! This has been a real prayer for me. I have prayed and cried, for God to heal our land. The response I received, was not what I expected. He handed me two things: a mirror and silence. Excuse me, Jesus. I don’t know if my prayers are hitting but the world is going crazy, please send help. Again, He handed me a mirror and silence.
The thing about God’s love is, we don’t always understand it. Sometimes we don’t even see it. Yet and still, His love is real, and it is big. Silence taught me to chase after His voice with such a fervency. I wanted, scratch that, I needed to hear His heart. That mirror taught me to see through His eyes. I am no simple human, I am His! Both were the answer to my prayer. Both gave me the perspective to see that I am seated with Jesus next to the One True King. The bible specifically says, at His right hand. That means, I am recognized as having equal authority to my King. As an heir to Heaven’s Kingdom, you begin to look just like the King who sits on the throne. You look like Him and you have access to His resources. Power and authority are available.
With learning there must be some unlearning or deconstruction done first. In my case, I had to unlearn who the world told me I was. I had to admit that God’s voice seemed distant or nonexistent, because everything else around me was louder. I had to admit that I didn’t see myself as an heir and that I didn’t know how to be victorious. But after deconstruction comes restoration. God’s idea of a royal mindset has been reimagined for me. My need to hear Him, sent me on a journey of passion and discovery. Most days I cannot contain my excitement to walk in wonder and awe of who He is. My desire to see how He sees has opened my mind to expect miracles, signs, and wonders.
My sisters, restoration is here. Restoration for our families, communities, work environments, our minds… Restoration is here. God is healing our land. It began when you were able to see that it started with you. Adjust your crown SIS. The King is here! He has already began a good work within you and He will be faithful to complete it!
Me: I see the nations crying. I see the people hurting. I hear the prayers and I hear the frustration. Lord, I am but one woman. How? How do I fight? How do I help?
Holy Spirit: It starts with you, seeing who you are. Hearing what truths, I have proclaimed over you. Accept my truth. Acknowledge your need. You want to see change? You want to see healing in the land? Daughter, it starts with you.
