Transformation

New Years Day – 2025

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11

Focus Thought: As we step into 2025, remember that God has already prepared the path ahead. This isn’t just another year – it’s a divine appointment with destiny, a fresh canvas for spiritual growth, and an opportunity to witness God’s faithfulness in new ways.

What is God speaking to your heart about this new season? 🙏✨

I didn’t put 2025 in the title of this thought at first. As I prayed I felt like “we” the people of God, have been through a period a serious hardship, contemplation, character assassination and/or change (depending on the leader/person) as a whole. These past few months I felt a urgency to complete the things God was showing me. There is a lot behind the scenes we do and prayer has sustained me through all of my changes. I believe the Lord is taking us through a year of transformation.

Last night I watched Legacy Center Church (God has made a way for me to stay connected as a care-giver). Dr. Faith gave her vision for 2025 around ‘Sudden Break’, which made me feel right in-line with what I’m experiencing spiritually now and what God has been showing me. Then she paused and said what is the Lord saying to you….listen:

I waited a moment and earnestly seeking, I saw fire begin to billow out from a dark space, there was a force behind the fire and it came quickly! I noticed white smoke around the edges, and the fire was mostly orange and yellow with some red. What stood out to me was like a wind, blowing dust, and small rocks or pebbles away along the ground. Almost like a leaf blower…

Scripture tells us the white smoke is God’s glory (Rev. 15:8, Psalm 74:1). The smoke could also represent wrath depending on the situation. I believe in this case where you are is what you experience during this time of transformation. Red/Orange means purification, passion, harvest and other symbolic meanings. I believe in this case this was our connection to the world. We are in space where we have to begin to choose, our time of being double-minded in our ways God is revealing to us must end. We have to make a stand and defy those external voices. We shall not walk in fear or condemnation of those who have wisdom but are not filled with the Holy Ghost. Discriminatory voice, critical voices, lying voices, deceiving voices, voices of contention and confusion we need to break their hold in Jesus Christs name.

Yellow, I just heard divine alignment. The yellow represents God’s presence as well. The indestructible word of God cannot fail us in this time. The word will spark a flame in us and blow the residue of our past from impacting our future. This flame shall burn up all that is not like our LORD and Savior so that we may accomplish what God has set for our future (Isaiah 55:11).

A Year of Transformation

A year of hope renewed – for what was abated or idea/thought left behind

A year of separation I believe God is aligning believers in new levels of creativity, development, and advancement which will cause many of us to separate from old people places and things

A year of revelation – we’ve already seen it. Many well kept secrets coming to light, opening eyes to the blind, and ears to hear

Scriptures that came to mind for these thoughts

1 Peter 3:12

The eyes of the LORD watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the LORD turns his face against those who do evil.”

From <https://biblehub.com/1_peter/3-12.htm>

Psalm 92:11

My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.

From <https://biblehub.com/psalms/92-11.htm>

Isaiah 55:10-11

10 For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat, 11 so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.

From <https://biblehub.com/isaiah/55-11.htm>

John 12:40:

He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

From <https://biblehub.com/john/12-40.htm>

Faith-Walkers I am praying for a spirit of ease over each of us as we pursue the things of the Kingdom of God as builders.

We will not be distracted
Ease in learning and hearing the word of God
I declare over we will have favor with people in position of authority
We will have a seat at the table of our enemies
We will even experience them being compelled to open doors for us to excel
I declare our loved ones will come into relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ

We are sons and daughters of the Most High God! We are God’s offspring! This is a year of transformation, this is the year of the redeemed, this is the year of favor, this is a year rain is sent to the just…. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so…!

In Jesus Christs Name Amen

Steady, Focus, Determination

I’ve been thinking of a message to share for 2023. I’ll say this, if you do nothing else remain steady, with focus and determination.

In 2022, I became a published author. I never thought I would be able to say that. Writing has always been a release for my thoughts, feelings, and imagination. I kept my writings close to my hip because they were so personal, and I didn’t realize a preparation for something greater. God took me on a journey to open my eyes to what’s next.

In July of 2021, a lump was found in my right breast. I prayed, and prayed and was led to this scripture from the King James Version:

“Psalm 34: 17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.”

I knew as soon as I read these verses, I would have to go through this trial. But I knew God would be with me. A few months later, as a matter of fact – my birthday month I was diagnosed with early stages of breast cancer. I think I was in a state of shock during most of the process. There were days I was angry, in pain, cried myself to sleep but my mantra, however; was always whatever you have in store for me Lord, I know you will be there.

Most people do not understand how demeaning the process can be when being treated with cancer. The people who work in the facilities are phenomenal, and I don’t want to take away from them. However, you are extremely vulnerable to every single person you encounter. You are constantly being examined, probed, and touched. Day by day, I felt less… I hope my statement makes sense. I felt less of who I thought I was, and what I was to become. These thoughts made me angry. I do not have time for cancer to interfere in my life and stop my progress. I was determined then; my life was valuable and the friends and family around me. There was no time to wallow in self-pity or ask why me. Why not me?

One day, I was scheduled for radiation treatment, and I asked God to let me share some joy to those who do not have it. I went in and spoke to everyone I could. With a joy, only the Holy Spirit could have given me. The Lord every day gave me something new to share or to do in order to engage others in the facility. I looked forward to my appointments and made them my priority through my day as there were things, I needed to do to prepare for them. The time seemed to fly by and was over quickly for me.

I thank GOD for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who saves. Who walked with me through my trials, who heard my cries in the midnight hour and lifted my head when I could not. I know there are many others with similar stories. Many people live with the disease for longer and more extreme periods.

Now, what does this have to do with 2023?

During this entire experience, I was writing. I did not write about my experience with cancer but my experiences in the prison ministry. How God has taught me through experience to minister to the brokenhearted. This time with God was amazing. There were moments that I didn’t think I would finish. I put the manuscript away and said the time was over for this book. It just didn’t feel like the right time. The enemy began to speak to me – ‘you’re not important’ or ‘who cares what you have to say’ or ‘it will never be successful.’ I finally sat down one day and focused on what was in my heart to say. God sent me a great writing coach, and I’ll say if you don’t have good people around you pray you through your trials then… please… reach out I have some amazing sisters and brothers in Christ that will pray with me for you.

As I thought about what to say for this new year. I skimmed social media and saw many comments such as these:

15 ways to achieve your goals for 2023 👀

10 things that will stop you in your tracks from achieving your goals 😲

5 must have courses in 2023 for your success⁉️😁😍

If you see a statement like that on social media or even me, hold on for a second. Remember, the approach Peter took in Matthew 14:22-33, when he walked across the water to Jesus Christ, with a steady, focus, and determination to get to Him. Even if you falter, He’ll be there to pull you out of the water. Don’t give up what God has given you to thrive in 2023. Plan, organize, gain wisdom, but stay steady, focused, and determined to accomplish your goals no matter what the situation.

5 Ways To Build Your Most Holy Faith

In this climate, upholding our personal beliefs and faith may be difficult. We may feel a little unstable due to the constant change. What I will tell you that has worked for me is the one constant – Jesus Christ. My faith has sustained me and allowed me to find a place of peace during this time of uncertainty. Not only do I have peace, I’ve met and reached goals I never dreamed possible. The book of Jude, reminds us of obstacles that may keep our eyes off of Jesus and cause us to falter. BUT he also gives us nuggets to keep us steady – relying on God, allowing God to fill you, and finally knowing God as the ultimate strategist. Check out my recording on how I sum this up – https://bit.ly/buildmostholyfaith. Part 2 will be how we provide a strategy on this journey!
