“Lord, I want to come back and thank You for all You’ve done for me!” I can see one out of the nine lepers returning, dancing, and shouting for his healing when the others continue going. Offering wholehearted praise is profoundly significant, as it brings joy to God. (Luke 17:11-19) When we genuinely acknowledge Him with every aspect of our being—our hearts, minds, and souls—it deepens our connection with the divine and invites His magnificent glory to shine upon us. This worship creates an atmosphere of reverence and love, reflecting our gratitude and devotion.

David, a man after God’s heart, yoked the transformative power of praise to lift himself out of dire circumstances. With each song and declaration of faith, he found strength and hope, allowing his spirit to soar above the challenges surrounding him. (1 Chronicles 29:10-20) Hannah, filled with eagerness and determination, fought against her heart-wrenching circumstances, pouring out her soul in prayer and seeking divine intervention. Her tenacity illuminated her path, empowering her to rise above despair. (1 Samuel 2:1-10) Meanwhile, Joshua, a brave leader chosen to guide the Israelites, rallied the people in heartfelt worship, their voices resonating with faith. As they united in faith and lifted their songs to the heavens, those imposing walls came crashing down, marking a pivotal moment of triumph and release for the Israelites. (Joshua 6:1–27)

An extraordinary event unfolded as Paul and Silas prayed fervently and sang hymns in the dimly lit prison. Suddenly, the ground beneath them began to tremble violently, causing the very foundation of the jail to shake. In the aftermath of this miraculous quake, not only were they liberated from their shackles and confinement, but their unwavering faith also touched the hearts of those around them, leading to the salvation of several souls. (Acts 16:25-34)

Let’s not overlook the poignant moment when Mary entered the Pharisee’s house, her heart filled with love and devotion. With a sense of urgency, she approached Jesus, carrying a precious jar of fragrant oil. The rich, soothing scent enveloped the room as she poured it over His head. Overcome with emotion, she knelt at His feet, her tears flowing freely as she wept in gratitude and repentance. With her lengthy hair, she gently dried His feet, demonstrating her deep affection and humility in the presence of the Lord. She faced the scorn and judgment of those around her, yet she firmly disregarded their harsh opinions. This courageous spirit caught the attention of Jesus, who was profoundly touched by her unwavering love. He saved her from the demons that held her captive. Tears are a form of praise, too!

“Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts, according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high-sounding cymbals. Let everything that hath breathe praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.” Psalms 150:1-6 KJV

I feel immense gratitude toward Him, which profoundly influences my outlook on life. This deep appreciation has grown, so I am largely unaffected by what others think or say about me. Their opinions have no power over my spirit. My heartfelt praise and worship served as a powerful catalyst, breaking the chains of the strongholds that once dominated my life. Through this genuine connection, I experienced liberation and renewal, allowing me to rise above past struggles and embrace a brighter path forward. He suffered so He could understand my pain. Yes, I’m going to praise Him with all my heart!

I invite you to unleash your joy and express your heartfelt praise in whatever way resonates with your spirit. Let your emotions flow freely, Whether singing a vibrant song, clapping your hands enthusiastically, or shouting out your feelings. This outpouring of joy can bring a touch of heaven down to earth and replenish your strength!

As I slowly awakened yesterday morning, the Holy Ghost began leading me into His counseling room. He spoke to me about how old things have passed away and all things are becoming new. “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” (Numbers 23:19 KJV) I’ve spoken about this many times, but we need a reminder to stay encouraged. We are living in times of uncertainty. God doesn’t waiver, so we can be assured He is moving on our behalf.

As you prepare to pray, have you ever become aware of the overwhelming surge of intrusive thoughts flooding your mind? These thoughts can feel relentless, almost as if they are fighting for your attention and pulling you away from your intended focus. A powerful, persuasive voice may tempt you to divert your thoughts in a different direction, away from your sacred intention.

Picture a ship bravely sailing across the vast, unpredictable ocean, its hull cutting through the waves with courage. As it ventures further from the safety of the shore, dark clouds begin to gather on the horizon, unleashing a fierce storm that turns the tranquil sea into a chaotic maelstrom. The wind howls, the rain lashes down, and the ship’s compass spins wildly, disorienting its crew and sending them off course. Much like the ship, our minds can become trapped in a storm of turbulent thoughts, disrupting our connection to the peaceful solace of our spiritual practice.

Amid this chaos, I felt a stirring in my spirit that compelled me to limit my exposure to the noise of social media, television, and other distractions that pulled me away from my faith. It was as if God gently urged me to draw closer to Him amidst the world’s clamor. One afternoon, as I tuned in to the discussions swirling around me about the state of the world, I suddenly heard a profound whisper from the depths of my heart: “The true news is what is in My Word.”

In that moment, clarity washed over me, reminding me that when God assures us He hears our prayers, He truly listens and is actively at work in our lives. His promise is clear: “He’s going to make it good!” The specifics of how, when, and where that goodness will manifest remain shrouded in mystery, but the assurance of His presence offers peace amidst the storm.1 Corinthians 13:9-12 says, “For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. “You may be saying, “Darlene, I’m not in the position to do that.” Yes, you are; speak the promises of God over your circumstances. His Word is not empty or ineffective.   “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”  (Isaiah 55:11 KJV) In I Corinthians 13:12, Paul says, “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” We know that something is hidden behind the darkened glass, but the exact details escape us. It is as if God grants us glimpses and fragments of information as we progress along our journey, gradually unveiling a more complete picture for us to see.

Intrusive thoughts can be overwhelming, as if they are trying to tear down our faith and drain our strength. In those challenging moments, it is vital to hold tightly to the Word of God and the assurances found in His promises.

These divine truths serve as our anchor, providing comfort and resilience against the turmoil within. ^“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8 KJV

We have a woman who has been bleeding for twelve years and, after visiting numerous physicians, still finds no cure (Luke 8:43-48). There is also a man possessed by demons, cutting himself and screaming in torment among the tombs (Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39). An adulterous woman also tries to fill her loneliness (John 8:1-11) and lepers suffering from rotting flesh (Luke 5:12-16; 11:11-19; Mark 1:40-45). The blind are feeling their way around, trying to reach their destinations (Mark 10:46-52), and the deaf and mute are deprived of the ability to hear or speak (Mark 1:40-45). These individuals, among many others, share one common need: a Savior.

Often, I consider details such as them sitting in secrecy saying, “I’m going to die like this.” Legion didn’t have a right mind. Perhaps his torment began in his youth? I don’t know. I can only assume that the adulteress was entangled in a web of deceit and passion, feeling overwhelmed by the weight of her choices. The shadows of guilt and fear loomed large over her, clouding her judgment and leaving her unable to envision a way to escape the chains of her predicament. Each day must have felt like a battle between her desires and the moral consequences that haunted her, making the prospect of breaking free seem distant and nearly impossible. Desperation plunges people into doing harmful things. They’re just searching for answers but have no one to lead them in the right direction.

Before Jesus crossed their path, they wandered as outcasts in a world that downgraded and overlooked them. Yet, through His divine intervention, these forsaken souls were transformed into beloved sons and daughters of the Most High God. Praise His Holy Name! The Talley Trio beautifully captures this sentiment in their emotional song, “Orphans of God,” where every lyric echoes truthfully. In His eyes, there are no strangers—only individuals yearning for connection. No one is beyond His reach, and no one is truly an orphan in His embrace.

I overflowed with deep gratitude, realizing that the Messiah Himself intentionally chose to draw near to me. In my wretched and shame-filled condition, weighed down by the heavy burden of accusations against Him, He opened His arms wide, inviting me to approach Him just as I am. His love and mercy are boundless, flowing freely like an endless ocean, offering a sanctuary of hope and healing to all who earnestly seek refuge in Him. In a world where many are trapped by the chains of drugs, alcohol, constant social media scrolling, the lure of pornography, and the relentless pursuit of material possessions, His embrace provides a way out, a path toward freedom and restoration. Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 says, “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us.”  

Jesus remains unfazed and unrestrained by any challenge, circumstance, or individual. His relentless pursuit of the lost reaches out to those seeking hope and salvation. This is why we, as followers of Christ, are called to venture into the streets and byways, as highlighted in Luke 14:23. Every day, we encounter a multitude of individuals, each with their own stories and struggles, and it’s our mission to share the message of His love and grace with them. “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.” John 15:16 KJV

Never be afraid to share what God has done for you! We were once outcasts, but through Jesus, we are also sons and daughters.

We were once forsaken sons and daughters but no more.

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” John 3:6-8 KJV

Rain starts soon, displayed on the taskbar of my computer screen. For several days I waited for the eighty percent expected rain. I may have typed the wrong location. Nope! Following this wonder, “When is the rain coming,” reminds me of a fishing story.

The night was dark and still, as the disciples set out on the calm waters of the sea, their small boat gently bobbing with the waves. They had expected a bountiful night of fishing, driven by hopes of a generous catch. However, as the hours dragged on, their expectations faded into disappointment.

Despite their efforts, they found themselves reeling in empty nets time and again. Their frustration began to mount with each failed attempt, echoing in the silence of the night. The darkness around them seemed to amplify their sense of defeat, as the realization sank in: they had caught nothing—absolutely nothing.

You can imagine the depth of their frustration, wrestling with the weight of their unmet hopes and the long, restless night that lay ahead. Jesus stepped on the boat to teach the multitude from there as they cleaned their nets. “Launch into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” (Luke 5:1-9) God did the most miraculous thing at their weakest point.

Isn’t that just like God? It often feels as if He waits until we are completely worn out before stepping in to help. It may seem frustrating, but the truth is that He is always at work, even when we can’t see it. His presence is constant, and He operates behind the scenes, orchestrating events and guiding us in ways we may not immediately recognize. While we may feel alone in our struggles, we must remember that God is actively moving in our lives, even in our most challenging moments. “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”  Psalm 121:4 KJV

Feeling weary and disheartened can be a daunting battle at times. I truly understand how overwhelming that can be, as I have experienced those heavy moments myself!

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”  1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV

The work of God is not influenced by our emotions or momentary feelings; that is simply not how He functions. When He promises that a blessing is on its way, we can be assured that it is indeed on its way. I can promise you this: as we persist in our service to Him, we can look forward to answers that surpass our wildest imaginations and understanding. Trust in His timing and ways, for they are often mysterious yet profoundly transformative.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9 KJV

Peter looked at Jesus, his voice tinged with exhaustion as he replied, “Master, we’ve toiled persistently throughout the night, casting our nets over and over again, but we’ve caught nothing.” The weariness settled deep in his bones, fatigue clouding his mind, yet despite his tiredness, he felt compelled to obey. With a resigned sigh, he added, “But I will let down the net.”

In those intense moments when life presents its challenges, Peter’s response is the kind of attitude I aspire to represent. “God, I am so tired; my thoughts are scattered, and I am trapped in a whirlpool of emotions. Nevertheless, at Your command, I will pray regardless of how I feel. You cannot lie, and I trust that even if hope seems distant and concealed from my sight, You have promised that You are orchestrating everything for good.”

By summoning the last remainders of his strength, Peter opened the floodgates of divine blessing. What had once been an empty net, a stark reminder of his frustration and disappointment, suddenly transformed. As he pulled in the net, it overflowed with an astonishing catch of fish, so abundant that the sheer weight threatened to sink the boat. The overflow was so great that his fellow fishermen, witnessing the miracle, rushed over to assist him, marveling at the plenteousness that had seemed impossible just moments before. The scene was one of awe and astonishment, a powerful reminder of faith rewarded when one chooses to step forward even in weariness.

When God responds to our prayers and questions, His answers will surpass anything we could possibly envision. We may have hopes and expectations, but His plans are often more profound, beautiful, and transformative than we could ever comprehend.… “prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi 3:10 KJV

Nothing about my life is normal; the traditional path that most people consider “normal” is foreign to me.

Each day unfolds in unexpected ways, and now I’ve come to terms with the fact that this unusual existence isn’t just a phase—it’s a permanent piece of my reality. When I became a born-again Christian, embracing this truth was daunting since I couldn’t believe God could use a flawed Darlene. But I’ve learned to accept it wholeheartedly. This acceptance brings a sense of inner peace to me. I understand that the supernatural is intertwined with my daily existence, shaping my experiences and choices in ways I couldn’t have imagined. It’s no longer a source of fear or confusion; it’s a deep and vital part of who I am. Someone asked me, “How does one become a prophet or prophetess?”

“We aren’t made but born, and then we are shaped by the Master.”  Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” (KJV)

Yesterday, my mom and I had a heartfelt conversation about my early beginnings. She shared a frightening moment when she almost miscarried me during her pregnancy.  Then, just three months after my birth, I faced another battle: I contracted pneumonia at three months old. The doctors were understandably concerned, worried I might not pull through. Those early challenges were only the beginning of my journey; they marked the first of many fights I would have against the shadows of death.

My walk with God has given me clarity about why witchcraft, violence, and emotional turmoil were present in my previous life. Satan possesses a deep understanding of our callings and true identities more clearly than we do ourselves. He is aware of our potential and the divine purpose we are meant to fulfill, often using this insight to create obstacles that can distract or deter us from our path.

No matter what roles or tasks we are assigned to serve the kingdom of God, we will inevitably face challenges. This particular season has been incredibly enlightening, revealing insights and lessons I had not previously grasped. It has shown me the importance of resilience and faith in navigating new obstacles and how these experiences can deepen our understanding and commitment to our calling.

Every day, we should take a moment to earnestly pray for discernment, asking for clarity to see situations for what they are. We ask for God’s guidance to attain consistent results.

In this journey, let us also invite God’s counsel into every decision, trusting His wisdom will illuminate our path and bring peace to our hearts among life’s uncertainties.

I was born for this and so were you!

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11 KJV

“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”  Psalm 23:5 KJV

Experiencing victory is incredible, particularly when we acknowledge God’s presence in it! Just yesterday, I gathered with my dedicated intercessor friends to pray for our nation for that pivotal moment.

As we united, pouring our hearts out in prayer, we felt an overwhelming sense of peace envelop us. The weight of uncertainty disappeared, and we were reminded of the strength and hope that faith can bring. Each of us shared our thoughts and concerns, and through our collective prayers, we found reassurance in knowing that God is a promise keeper, and through Him we had won all battles.

At that moment, I had not fully grasped the deep significance of God preparing a table before us in front of our adversaries.

 This feast celebrates victory and marks our victory over our enemies. The sound of laughter, music, shouting, clapping, dancing, and testimony traveled in the air for other adversaries to behold.

This scene reflects a decisive moment of divine establishment and protection, where, despite the challenges and opposition we face, we are invited to revel in the abundance and favor that comes from God. It serves as a reminder that even amid struggle, there is a sacred space for us to experience joy and victory.

I encourage you to take a moment to reach out to God in prayer and ask Him to prepare that victorious feast for you. Remember, He has already secured this victory on your behalf, and it is a celebration waiting to be enjoyed. Open your heart to His blessings, and let this promised feast remind you of the triumphs He has in store for you!

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the weekend ahead, but the words of a seasoned prophetess echoed in my thoughts. She had reached out to me with an intensity that I couldn’t ignore. She stressed how vital it was for me to attend their gathering, describing it as an opportunity not to be missed, “I feel God’s going to do something.” Her faith intrigued me and planted a seed of hope, making me wonder what revelations or connections awaited me at that meeting. I wasn’t used to being used and needed, and I dismissed God using me in no other way but to pray. She felt the urgency for me to be at the meeting so sternly that she paid for me a motel room.

 I love people. At one time, I wasn’t a people person at all. But God, I’m so weary! I’m so tired that I don’t want to fight anymore. This has been my battle for years.

I started to venture out and connect with people beyond the walls of what I had always thought of as a church. I was eager to explore new friendships and experiences, seeking connections beyond my previous surroundings and familiar rituals and routines. But a spiritual residue had accumulated from all the hurt over the years. One can only take so much; God knows that. The most devastating thing is that the church hurt, especially since it became a constant thing. I sought refuge in this place, hoping it would offer me a momentary escape from the chaos and cruelty of the world outside, a sanctuary from the everyday struggles that weigh heavily on my heart. Yet, to my dismay, I now find myself confronted with the harsh realities I wanted to flee, right here in the last place I expected: the church. The walls meant to provide solace seem to echo with the same burdens I hoped to leave behind, pulling me back into the turmoil I yearned to escape.

I want to share with you what awaited me behind this door.

A wave of uncertainty washed over me as I sat in quiet observation. I was taken by surprise when my name was called to come to the front of the church. It was a moment I hadn’t anticipated. For as long as I could remember, I had been a quiet observer, seated in the pews as others received powerful prophetic words that spoke directly to their lives, offering them guidance and hope. My heart raced as I walked forward. The warmth of the congregation’s attention wrapped around me like a blanket, and I couldn’t help but wonder what message awaited me. It was an unexpected experience, standing in the spotlight of a body of prophets, prophetesses, ministers and children that usually felt so distant.

As the lady beckoned me forward, flanked by two others, an atmosphere of reverence enveloped us. She began to pray fervently, her voice steady yet filled with emotion, sharing intimate truths that only God could possibly know. The words she spoke pierced through my heart, resonating deeply within my spirit. In that profound moment, a pivotal question emerged: “Will you answer the call?”

Tears streamed down my face, flowing freely, as I was enveloped by an indescribable and overwhelming surge of God’s presence. It felt like a powerful current, wrapping around me like a warm blanket on a cold day. The weight of my emotions became almost tangible, filling the space around me with a sense of profound peace and invincible strength.

As I stood there, choked with emotion, I found my voice rising above the noise of my thoughts. “Yes—yes, Lord, I will answer the call!” I exclaimed, my heart racing with a mix of fear and excitement. One of the intercessors placed her hand on my shoulder and prayed fervently that I would possess the boldness of a lion—a courage that could conquer any challenge ahead.

The group of intercessors circled around me, their voices a harmonious blend of encouragement and determination. They lifted me in prayer, urging me not to give up, no matter the obstacles that lay in my path. I closed my eyes, wanting to hold onto this sacred moment forever, feeling utterly safe in the tender embrace of God. Time seemed to stand still, and in that divine space, I knew I was exactly where I was meant to be.

This experience has profoundly changed me, shaping my identity in ways I never imagined possible. The Darlene who existed before this journey feels like a distant memory, replaced by someone who has gained resilience and a deeper understanding of herself In Jesus. After years of longing and searching for a moment like this, I can confidently say that it has finally arrived, and I am embracing it with open arms. I no longer feel the weight of shame regarding my experiences; instead, I view them as a testament to my strength and growth. I am eager to share my story, not only to honor my journey but also to inspire others who may be facing their own challenges.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee    Psalm 51:10-12 KJV

Last night during prayer, I witnessed a powerful vision that filled me with awe—a majestic bald eagle gracefully lifting itself into the sky after resting on a smooth rock splashed by water. Behind the eagle, a stunning waterfall thundered down, its crystal-clear water sparkling in the sunlight and releasing a refreshing scent of new beginnings. The eagle had just emerged from the water’s cool embrace, its feathers glistening like diamonds.

As the great bird soared higher, its magnificent wings spread wide, and water droplets cascaded from its feathers, showering the vibrant land below. This was no ordinary landscape; it was the heart of America, alive with promise and potential.

God proclaimed, “The majestic eagle that you behold symbolizes the essence of true freedom, soaring high above the constraints of the world below. The water that gracefully cascades from its powerful wings symbolizes a profound outpouring of My Spirit, showering blessings and renewal upon this great nation. Do not let fear take hold of your heart! Just as I performed miraculous wonders for My people during their liberation from the bondage of Egypt, I am now preparing to unveil extraordinary signs and wonders among you that will inspire hope and ignite faith. Trust in My promises, for I am with you.”

God is getting ready to reveal His power unlike we’ve ever seen. I have felt a surge in the atmosphere.

God has heard His people’s prayer for restoration.

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:” Joel 2:17-18 KJV.

This is that time.

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. James 5:7 KJV

Get ready for the rain is coming and nothing can stop it!

From the very foundation of the earth, a mesmerizing spark of amber light unfurled in graceful, circular motions as though it were playfully chasing its tail. Wisping sounds traveled in the air as the flames grew, forming a magnificent fire pillar towering over me. The sight was truly breathtaking. “I did this for the children of Israel. I will do this for you; I will show my wonders.” Although the Lord spoke in a soft voice, it was magnified. His Words echoed, ushering me from a deep slumber into an awakening.

God’s counsel commenced by exploring our tendency to underestimate His immense power and greatness, especially when confronted with challenging or overwhelming circumstances. It is easy to become consumed by our present struggles and to lose sight of the limitlessness of His strength and majesty. In moments of difficulty, we often forget that His capabilities far exceed our challenges, leading us to a diminished view of His divine influence in our lives. This reflection encourages us to recognize and acknowledge the full scope of His greatness, even when times are tough. “If I could only get my emotions out of the way, I’d be fine,” I confessed to another intercessor. She reminded me that we are human.

God’s counsel and instruction are not to condemn us but to perfect and protect us. He is getting us ready for the more significant things.

The children of Israel remained stuck in the wilderness for forty-one years! I want to move on so that God can do what He needs to do in my life. I don’t want to miss out on anything that God is doing!

Take a moment to visualize this: When you’re at a game, your undivided attention is on your team or a beloved individual participating. Everything else becomes a hazy backdrop. But —if your focus shifts to the background, you risk missing out on the enjoyment of the game or the presence of those you cherish. The hazy backdrop becomes the focus; now, what’s vital is a blur.

God is taking care of things. The enemy will throw obstacles in our path to divert our focus from what God has assigned us to do.

The atmosphere is intensely charged as God prepares us for more excellent times.

“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:18-19 KJV)

The things we were once accustomed to will soon be distant memories as God sets a transformative new era into motion. He has intentionally disrupted our familiar patterns and routines to compel us to step beyond our comfort zones and embrace the beautiful changes ahead.
