1805 You’re Doing It Right
Jan 27, 202500:21:14Tap to summarizeIf you knew without a doubt everything you needed to live out your wildest dreams was on it’s way, would you wake up a little different this morning? You bet you would! If you knew every detail was taken care of and you were getting ready to step into your destiny, there’s nothing that could keep you in that bed! Nothing could hold you back. There would be no struggle with your attitude, no battle with laziness, no delay in your action if you knew all you want is now barreling towards you. And I’m proposing it is! Right now, in this very moment, everything you need to fulfill the desires of your heart and step into your destiny is barreling towards you. It’s all in a beeline heading straight for you, you just don’t see it. You don’t see the connections God has aligned ahead of you. BUT THEY’RE THERE. You don’t see how every closed door is pushing you towards the right door. BUT IT IS. You don’t see how God has already gone before you and arranged to make it happen. BUT HE HAS. What if you’re already on the right path and you ARE doing the right thing? What if you’re not that far off at all? What if you’re one turn away from seeing the full, beautiful picture, and it’s bigger and better than you could have imagined? Ephesians 3:20 says that exactly what is possible, “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think?” HE IS ABLE! And how does he do it? THROUGH HIS MIGHTY POWER AT WORK IN YOU!!!!!!! We’re so quick to give up at the slightest hint of delay or difficulty, when God is trying to instill within us perseverance and patience. KEEP SHOWING UP. God is reminding you this morning that you’re closer than you think! You only reap the harvest if you DO NOT GIVE UP. YOU ARE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK. All that feels like a delay has actually served the purpose of propelling you forward. Remember, an arrow can only be shot forward by first pulling it back. If you’re currently being dragged back with difficulties, perhaps you’re being prepared to launch into greatness! Now is not the time to give up on that which God has whispered to your soul. There’s a fire within you. That fire is a purpose for which you were created. A desire to do something with your life. You may not be able to put words to it and define exactly what that purpose is, but you feel it. That feeling of longing for more, that feeling of desperate restlessness, that’s a holy stirring of that which God has placed within you. Pay attention to it. Give it breath and fan that flame. God is guiding you at this very moment to position you exactly where you need to be. It’s not too late for you. The enemy tells you your opportunity has already come and gone, but it hasn’t. The enemy tells you you’re lacking, but you’re not. The enemy tells you you’ll never be good enough, but he’s a liar from hell and he only whispers his worthless lies out of fear because he knows exactly what is in you. He knows that which God has whispered to your soul, and he knows you’re just the girl to fulfill her purpose and step into her destiny. So of course he fights you. He makes you believe the struggles are too hard, the mountains are too high, and the wait is too long. But what he doesn’t want you to know is, this is your time. THIS IS YOUR TIME. Although you feel unsure, you are doing the right thing. What is the RIGHT thing? You’re seeking God for guidance and direction. Really, isn’t that why you’re here? Isn’t that why you’re listening. You truly WANT God to guide you. You’re at a place where you don’t want your own way anymore, you’re desperately seeking God’s way. Well, that is the right thing! That’s the right step you’ve been looking for. As a result of you seeking him, there’s something absolutely supernatural that happens … even that which you’re unknowingly doing wrong, he’s making it right! Don’t you know that’s what God can do with a heart seeking him? That’s what he can do with a fully surrendered life? He can take what you’re doing wrong and HE CAN MAKE IT RIGHT! When your heart is 100% right, your steps can be less than perfect and still get you to your divine assignment. Honey, is your heart right? Are you truly seeking God’s way over your own? Do you want every single thing he is in, and absolutely not a hint of anything he’s not in? Yes? Then take a deep breath and know with confidence that’s the single most important part of your journey. With a right heart, God directs the right steps. You’ve been hyper focused on the next steps, but God’s been fully focused on your heart. That’s maybe why you feel your progress has been slow or stalled … this has been heart work, not ‘make it happen’ work. First comes the heart work, THEN the ‘make it happen’ work. When your heart is in alignment with God’s will, then everything you could ever need comes barrelling your way. Then the doors open. Then it starts working. Not because you’re doing it perfect, but because God’s done a miraculous work in your heart. The past year for me has been heart work. Whew, God’s gone to work on my ‘why’. He’s brought a holy conviction of the things he wants me to change, stop, and eliminate. Is that what God has been doing to you too? Girl, then get ready! With the right heart, breakthroughs are coming. Ezekiel 36:26-27 TPT, the Lord says, “I will remove your hard heart of stone and give you an obedient, responsive heart instead. i will put my Holy Spirit in you to empower you.” Won’t you offer him your heart for his holy work? If you do, things will begin shifting and moving! You may feel disappointed in your journey right now, but I know this, if you could get a glimpse of what’s coming your way after you get your heart right, you would shoot out of that bed today! There’s not a single thing that could hold you back if you only knew all God is doing on your behalf. Imagine there’s a holy meeting happening right now at the conference table of Heaven. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are gathered around this conference table and they are conspiring, scheming, planning and preparing. Lean in close and hear their conversation … They are putting together a strategy to make it all come together for YOU! Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes EVERYTHING to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” The MSG translation puts it like this, “We can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.” God is FOR you. Jesus is WITH you, and the Holy Spirit is IN you. Whom shall you fear? What could possibly stop you? The purpose for which you were created is still unfolding and today your only job is to check your heart, show up to life and demand the best of yourself. No more playing little. No more tip toeing around in your life. Demand of yourself to show up today. Put a demand on yourself to do what you said you would do. Put a demand on your mind to think the thoughts God’s word commands you to think. Put a demand on your attitude to align with the person you know you were created to be. Put a demand on your spirit to be joyful. God has empowered you to live today, now show up and live. With purpose. With intention. This is your time and it’s all so much closer than you think.

Transcribe →1804 You’re Not a Pig
Jan 24, 202500:14:44Tap to summarizeThere’s one animal you and I are most like. We are like sheep. There’s one thing we most need. We need a shepherd. If you study sheep, you see how helpless they often are. How they wander off and find themselves in danger. Yip, that’s us. We lose our way and we end up in a mess. Sweet little sheep we are. And this is why we have a shepherd. This is our Jesus. In John 10: 11-15 Jesus said “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. Jesus says the enemy will attack, but he will protect us. Jesus says others will come and go and not stay, but he will always remain with us. That’s Jesus, our good shepherd. To learn about a shepherd is to learn about our Jesus. I don’t suppose there are too many modern day shepherds around here out living with their sheep, so perhaps it would do us some good to have a little study to understand what Jesus is telling his sheep today. A shepherd lives with their sheep. He has 2 main jobs – Protect the sheep and guide the sheep. Sheep are rather helpless and without the shepherd guarding them, they will quickly fall prey to predator. I simply can’t imagine trying to go through this life without my shepherd. It is our personal relationship with Jesus that can give us peace in the middle of life’s greatest storms. Hey, if you’re trying to do this thing on your own, listen to me, you don’t have to. You were never made to do life on your own. You have a protector, and whether you acknowledge him or not, he has been watching out for you. Wow, if we only knew half the things God has protected us from that we never even saw coming. The enemy’s intended harm never even came into our awareness because our mighty shepherd was protecting us. I wonder how many disasters we were spared from just yesterday! Jesus is our protector, and he is our guide. A shepherd guides his sheep to pastures where they will find exactly what they need. Our shepherd guides us and it’s a good thing because much like sheep, we sure have a way of messing up directions, don’t we? Why don’t we just stick close to Jesus and follow him instead of running off and trying to make our own way? That just never ends up good, does it? But thankfully Jesus knows our tendencies and he has already prepared for our wandering nature. When we get ourselves in trouble, all we have to do is call out to him and he will find us. Isn’t it amazing to know he cares so much about us that he will come hunt us down and pull us out of whatever mess we’ve gotten into. He won’t stop until he finds us. There’s nothing he won’t do for us. I mean he’s already proven that – he died to save us. You’ve heard Jesus’ story about leaving the 99 to find the 1 lost sheep, right? Whether you realize it or not, you were once that 1 who got lost. You were straying. You were wandering. You’re only here listening and seeking today because he found you and brought you back. We are his sheep. Remember this. We are not his pigs. Here’s the difference between a sheep and a pig. A sheep and a pig can fall in the same mud, but they have a different nature. When the pig gets in the mud, he wallows in it. When the sheep gets in the mud, he cries out for help. Pig wallows and stays stuck. Sheep cries for help to get unstuck. Stop acting like a pig. Stop hanging out with pigs. You were never meant to wallow in your mess. You were never meant to get stuck and stay stuck. Stop settling for your current situation. You’re not a pig. You are a sheep. Cry out for help to your shepherd and watch him come running for you. You aren’t meant to wallow. Get up sweet sheep, get up. Now, one last thing I would like to share. I’ve spoken to many mamas who are going through tough times with their teen or young adult children. I have to believe God has allowed this struggle to touch my own family so I would have personal experience in the battle. I get you, Mama. I understand. It’s hard to watch your child become so lost. Our kids are wandering off, going down the wrong path, on the wrong course making some majorly stupid choices. First, let me say, mama, drop the guilt and shame. This happens to the best of us. Your wayward child is a sheep, a sheep lost – a sheep with a Shepard who is relentless in his pursuit for your child. Ezekiel 34: 15-16, “I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord God. I will search for my lost ones who strayed away, and i will bring them safely home again. I will bandage the injured and strengthen the weak.” Write that down. That’s a promise from your Shepherd. Cling to that for your child. God is seeking the lost and he will bring back the strayed. God’s got this! I bet there was a time when you wandered off. A time when you were racking up the stupid decisions and epically bad choices. And he brought you back, didn’t he? You’re here listening today and that’s the result of a shepherd who never gave up on you. You can trust he’s not giving up on the next generation of sheep either sweet sister.

Transcribe →1803 It’s Been Long Enough
Jan 23, 202500:14:37Tap to summarizeHow comfortable is your life? Were you created for a comfortable life? Were you ever intended to seek such comfort? In today’s world we have an opportunity to be entirely too comfortable EVERY WHERE. Movie theaters now have reclining chairs and waiters, because my goodness, it just wasn’t comfortable enough to sit in the regular chairs and get yo own popcorn. Our cars have heated leather seats and engines that start with an app on our phone because dang it was hard going out the garage and starting that car yourself. Have our entire lives become about comfort? Seeking to make everything easier, cushier, fluffier? And what have we sacrificed in our lives of comfort? The Lord says in Deuteronomy 1:6 says – “You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Turn and take your journey.” Perhaps God has been saying, “Girl, you’ve stayed here long enough. It’s time to go now. Let’s go on a journey together.” But you’ve set up shop on this mountain and leaving would be so painful. You’ve bought all your pretties and made it ever so comfortable, permanently cementing yourself to a mountain that was only ever intended to be temporary. We’ve created a little bubble we live in filled with comfort … and it is trouble! The Lord told the Israelites to leave Mount Sinai and move toward the land he promised them, but where they were had become far more comfortable than the unknown they would have to travel through. In fear, they remained stuck. Is that you? Has fear caused you to stay where God has clearly told you to leave? Has fear caused you to delay your forward motion toward that which he has already promised you? Read the story for yourself, my sister, God is not pleased with our choices of settled comfort. The Israelites forfeited their promise and settled for far less than God’s preferred future for them. They were supposed to be in their blessed and bountiful Promised Land within days … but instead, they got stuck in a wilderness for 40 years because they left that mountain, but didn’t continue going. We create these little comfortable bubbles for ourselves, insulating us from the threat of failure and hardship. But, what are we forfeiting in our bubble? Let me be very clear … God didn’t create you for a comfortable, predictable life in that bubble. That was NEVER his design for his masterpiece. And remember, you are his masterpiece and you have been specifically designed to live fully. When we won’t move out of the bubble ourselves, sometimes God does the most gracious and loving thing possible, HE POPS THAT BUBBLE. If your bubble popped, it could be for your benefit. We lose that comfortable job and while it seems our world is falling apart we’re suddenly face to face with the opportunity to start the business we’ve always wanted to start, but were always too afraid to take that leap. The trouble was comfort kept us in that bubble, a bubble filled with boredom and little life living. And now the bubble is popped, we’re highly uncomfortable, AND TOTALLY FREE TO LIVE. Maybe it isn’t a job that has served as a comfortable bubble for you, maybe it is where you live or where you go to Church or your circle of friends. Maybe it’s your daily routine. While it is comfortable, let’s face it, it is BORING. It isn’t stretching you or growing you. In fact, you’re losing some of your talents and passions because you simply haven’t been using them. Don’t you want to break free of that? Don’t you want to wake up and be excited about living? God is saying “take that journey … come on, let’s go”. May you be so confident about God’s good plan for your life that you don’t even get upset anymore when things don’t go your way. Here’s the trouble with comfort. We become so comfortable that we can’t see the trouble on the horizon. We can’t see where our choices will lead us in 5 more years. Think about the path you’re on right now. Will what you’re doing take you to where you want to go? If you repeat the actions of the past 7 days over and over again, where will you be in 5 months? How about 5 years? Oh what a reality check. Comfort never leads us to the life we want, does it? So the question is, are you willing to be uncomfortable today to live a bigger, better life tomorrow? Have you been on your mountain long enough? Is it time to turn and take your journey? Maybe you started our journey, but you’ve stalled out and now you’re stuck. You’re not where you used to be, but you’re honestly not actively moving toward what God has offered you. You’ve settled. I assure you, your great big God is not happy to see his girl stopping short of his promises and wandering in a wilderness. He has so much more for you! Will you be bold enough to take the next step forward? We can do better. We can take off the rose colored glasses. We can quit sweeping it under the rug. We can break the chains, step out of the norm, loosen the grip on all our pretties, and dare to LIVE. And living often means going. Going to new places. Starting new things. Wandering through deserts and getting lost along the way so we have to cling to God for every next step. Adventures. Changes. You don’t want to live in a bubble. You want to live the wide open spacious life Jesus came to give you. The life described in the Message translation of I Corinthians 6: 11-13: “I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life. We didn’t fence you in. The smallness you feel comes from within you. Your lives aren’t small, but you’re living them in a small way. Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively!” Are you ready for it? Ask yourself today where you need to step out of comfort and live bigger. Step into the wide open, spacious life Jesus bought for you. Now ask yourself where you were once on your way to a bigger life, but you stopped and settled along the way. What’s God saying to you about that now? Is he saying, “It’s been long enough, my girl. It’s time to get going again.” If you’re stuck in a comfortable bubble, get ready … because it might just get popped. Not to punish you, but to free you. Step into the BIG Life you were created for outside of all that is comfortable and venture into the unknown with Jesus.

Transcribe →1802 Trusted With Favor
Jan 22, 202500:14:53Tap to summarizeCan you be trusted with FAVOR? Favor for things to go your way. Favor for the breakthrough you’ve been seeking. Favor for next level living. Favor to be chosen? I think of favor as God taking a personal liking to you. He chooses you, picks you out of the crowd and says “You, I like you. I pick you.” And when God blesses you with favor, nothing can stand in your way! Have you ever watched the game show “Let’s Make a Deal”? Members of the audience dress in crazy costumes hoping to catch the eye of the host and be picked for a chance to play and win. They wave their hands, they jump up and down, they show off their flashy costume knowing the host is about to pick someone and they just hope it’s them. Well, let me tell you, God is looking for someone to pick. He’s looking for someone to bless with his favor. Have you ever wondered how you get his attention? How do you prove yourself trustworthy of his favor? Here it is: 2 Chronicles 16:9, “The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” Your heart is your inner being. It’s your thoughts, feelings and decisions. He’s looking for the one whose thoughts are committed to him. Whose feelings are committed to him. Whose decisions are committed to him. These are the ones who are trusted with God’s supernatural strengthening. Favor comes here. The story of Joseph (found in Genesis 37-50) gives us the perfect example of HOW to be trusted with favor. God chose him, picked him and always showed him tremendous favor which caused others to like him. But that doesn’t mean life would be easy for Joseph. Joseph was favored by his dad, so his brothers got jealous and sold him into slavery. As a slave, Joseph found favor with his master and was put in charge. While in charge, he was falsely accused and put into prison. In prison he found favor with the warden and put him in charge once again. There he was noticed by Pharaoh the King, and was given rule over all of Egypt. Time and time again as things went bad, God showed his favor towards Joseph and caused bad things to become works for good. No doubt, he had God’s favor on his life and it came in the form of other people liking him. Other people continually chose Joseph and put him in charge. Genesis 39:21 says “The LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.” Yes, even with God’s favor, Joseph was in prison falsely accused. We assume God’s favor means smooth sailing and instant success. No, sometimes God’s favor means unfair, unjust and unseen things happening to you, and God using it all for good. Joseph was in prison and God’s favor didn’t miraculously break him out of prison. No, God’s favor simply made the prison warden like him. Maybe you’re stuck in a bad situation right now, maybe not prison, but a situation where you feel you can’t do what you want to do and everything is against you. Well I want to tell you God can give you favor right in the middle of it. He may not get you out of it tonight, but he can chan But first, you must be able to be trusted with favor. After all that happened to Joseph, HE NEVER GOT BITTER. He never set out to get even. In fact in Genesis 50:20 he looked at his brothers, the ones who started this whole domino effect of disaster by selling him into slavery because they were jealous, and he said “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” He could look at what was intended for harm and find the good in it. Can you do that? Can you find the good in your bad situation? This is how you prove you can be trusted with favor. When you can give your best effort even when nobody is watching, then you can be trusted with favor. When you keep doing the right thing even when you won’t receive praise for it, then you can be trusted with favor. When you love and give without strings attached, then you can be trusted with favor. Remember, “The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” And here’s the thing about favor, when God takes a special liking to you, you not only get blessed but everyone around you gets blessed. In Genesis 39 we read about Joseph working in his master’s house. His master saw that God favored him and caused everything in his hand to prosper, so he began to favor Joseph as well. Oh, let’s stop right there. God caused everything in Joseph’s hand to prosper. Don’t you want everything in your hand to prosper? For everything you touch to multiply. For everything you set out to do to be successful? Now remember, that certainly didn’t mean Joseph’s life would be easy. Remember all he went through. But time and time again God repaid him for everything he lost, and when he did he gave him even more. Why did everything in Joseph’s hand prosper? Because he had God’s favor. Why did he have God’s favor? Because he proved he could be trusted with favor. How did he prove he could be trusted with favor? He always did the right thing. Time and time again, he did the right thing. Whether anyone was watching or not, whether it would benefit him or not, he did the right thing. And he kept a good attitude. He intentionally looked for the good and refused to get bitter. If you’ve grown bitter because of what has happened to you, realize you may be blocking God’s favor. If you’ve grown lazy only given a half-hearted effort in the things you do, realize you may be blocking God’s favor. If you’ve given up because it was hard and others were experiencing success easier than you, realize you may be blocking God’s favor. God WANTS to be for you. He wants to pick you. He wants to bless you and promote you. He wants to show you tremendous favor, but you must prove you can be TRUSTED with favor. I know sometimes it feels like God is against you because things keep being delayed or things keep falling apart. But sweet daughter of the Almighty King, never forget GOD IS FOR YOU. And just because God is for you, as he was Joseph, doesn’t mean your life will be easy. It means no matter what happens, God will use it for good. Your job isn’t to figure this all out. Your job is to refuse to get bitter here and keep doing the right thing. God is watching you closely today. He wants to know if he can pour his favor on your life. Can you be trusted with his favor? Will you do the right thing and will you keep the right attitude?

Transcribe →1801 This Is Bigger
Jan 20, 202500:22:26Tap to summarizeYou’re thinking from a human perspective, but God is working on something bigger than you can see here. Do you hear me? There’s more to this than you can see. You’re putting limitations on this situation, while God in his unlimited power is at work in something bigger than you can fathom. You’re ready to settle in, surrender to resistance and give up the fight, while God is ready to push you on towards bigger places than you are right now. You’re frustrated with what you see happening, but my sister, you simply cannot see ALL that is happening. Your sight and understanding is so incredibly limited so faith will be required here. God has been speaking 2 words to me: Nahhhhh, bigger. This is bigger than you think and I’m bigger than you’ve allowed me to be. Isaiah 55: 8-9 VOICE, “8 My intentions are not always yours, and I do not go about things as you do. My thoughts and My ways are above and beyond you, just as heaven is far from your reach here on earth.” Sitting in your smallness, this seems overwhelming, impossible and pointless. But, my friend, you have a great BIG God who’s eye is on you while he holds the entire world in his mighty and capable hands. You cannot see what he sees, and you’re not supposed to. Now, he’s asking you to trust that whatever you’re in the middle of right now, it’s actually so much bigger than you realize and his power is over it all. What you SEE God doing in your life is a row boat in comparison to the ark he is actually leading you to. A row boat is tiny with extreme limitations. You’re not going far in that and you’re not taking very much with you. An ark is massive boat with the capacity for so much more. That’s what God is doing here … MORE. Think about your current struggle, your current uncertainty. Now, imagine God working in it to do something big and beautiful. Can you imagine that? See it. Nahhhhh, bigger. It’s even bigger than that. Even more beautiful. Honey, his work is eternal. It’s beyond the limitations of this world. Ephesians 3:20 MSG, “God can do ANYTHING, far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.” And while you can’t see it right now, that’s what he’s actually doing in your circumstances. He’s doing more. And that’s what he’s calling you to … MORE. What you have imagined as your purpose is a row boat in comparison to the ark you were created for. But the truth is, when you’re without a boat and you know you need to get upstream, a row boat sounds pretty darn good. And so, we start praying for a row boat. We start trying to negotiate our way into getting it right now. And dang do we ever get disappointed when it doesn’t work. Why isn’t this working? I’m talking about your specific situation. WHY ISN’T THIS WORKING FOR YOU? Why is it everything you try is met with resistance? Why is every door closed? Why is every answer no? Could it be because this is bigger than you think? Could it be because God is directing you to something bigger than you’re about to settle for? Could it be that you are being protected in this time of disappointment? We ask for God’s will in our life, but we sure don’t like it when that results in a series of no’s. Why can’t this just work? Why can’t I just get a break? Why can’t this little thing just come together? Why am I left here waiting? Oh yeah, because God is working on something BIGGER. Honey, if that little thing comes together you’ll just settle right there and miss what God ultimately has for you. Hear him today … “Nahhhhh, bigger!” This is row boat stuff you’re begging me for, but I made you for ark stuff. Imagine being Noah. You can read his story in Genesis 6-9. Noah is the man God chose to save his creation through. Only the people and the animals Noah was able to fit on the boat he built would survive the flood. So for over 100 years, Noah worked on the same project, building this one boat … during a drought none the less. That’s like my worst nightmare. A 100 year long project. I like 1 hour projects. I like starting and finishing something within the same day. I lose interest fast. I start chasing squirrels and forget why I am where I am. So I will often settle for little projects I can whip out fast while avoiding the bigger projects God designed me for. What big project are you avoiding? What bigger plan have you been delaying by chasing squirrels? You’ve been busying yourself with little things as a distraction from the big thing God is calling you to. And today you hear it loud and clear, “nahhhhhhhh, bigger.” Dig in girl, what you’re being called to is going to take some time. Are you willing to stick with it? Genesis 6: 14-16 God said: “Build a large boat from cypress wood and waterproof it with tar, inside and out. Then construct decks and stalls throughout its interior. Make the boat 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. Leave an 18 inch opening below the roof all the way around the boat. Put the door on the side and build three decks inside the boat – lower, middle and upper.” I find this genuinely interesting, do you know what the name Noah means? It means REST. So, God chooses the man named for rest to build the largest boat that had ever been built, and he knew it would take him over 100 years of non-stop work. Did you know you can be at rest while working? Did you know it’s possible to do what needs to be done without being completely stressed out? This is the way God works. If you’re stressed in your work and always exhausted, perhaps you should ask God to help you work in his way. God has some BIG work for you to do, work that’s going to take a long time, so it’s important for you to discover the peace in this journey and learn how to work as Noah did. Your freaking out and dreading the work is totally optional. God has provided everything you need to do this and do it well. Your delaying however will not help. Noah worked. He kept working. Scripture never tells of him stressing. Scripture never tells of him breaking down under pressure. It never tells of him complaining. But I bet he had bad days. I bet there were days it all felt overwhelming. I bet there were days he questioned the point in all this work in building a boat when he had never even seen rain. But do you know what Noah shows us so clearly … he shows us to STOP CUTTING CORNERS AND SETTLING SHORT OF WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO. Verse 22, “So Noah did everything EXACTLY as God had commanded him.” We don’t see him cutting corners. We don’t see him lessening God’s plan and settling for a little less. How tempting it must have been on year 80 to say, how about a 2 story boat instead of 3 story? How about we make this a little smaller than original plans to just be done already? Nope, he did just as God had told him without settling for less, and that was important. Scientists estimate there were 35,000 animal species on Earth which needed to be saved. To put that into perspective, consider this … the San Diego zoo is huge, but it only has 680 species of animals. But God’s plans were for 35,000 species and Noah’s big boat would be their home to escape the coming flood. Multiply that by 2 so they could reproduce, and you need a boat that can hold 70,000 animals. Guess what scientists have also found? Based on the specific instructions and dimensions given by God for the ark, it would not only hold 70,000 animals, but it would FLOAT. If Noah would have cut corners, rushed the process and settled for less, there may not have been room for the hippo, y’all! Our world today would have been void of that glorious plump, chunky creation! But Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him. MORAL OF THE STORY: GOD KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING, and what he is doing is BIG. Invest the time and trust God will not allow a day of your effort to be wasted. Trust even when it seems you’re getting nowhere, God is working in the details for his divine plan in your life. And when you wish this could just be easier, remember God is doing something bigger. Maybe we’re struggling to believe because we’ve made our God small, and today he’s saying, “nahhhhh, bigger.” I’m bigger than you believe me to be. My power is greater than you’ve assumed. My plan is better than you’ve imagined. I say BIGGER!!!! Let God out of that box sister. He will guide you if you ask him. He will strengthen you for your work today. He will provide every single thing you need. He is not limited. He is not backed in a corner. He is not stuck or frustrated. HE IS BIGGER THAN THAT. What God was doing back then in having Noah build the ark was bigger than he could ever ask, think, or imagine. But Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded. He didn’t understand it. He had no proof it would float. He had no way of controlling 35,000 species of animals to get them on the boat. But Noah was obedient in surrendering to the calling of God, not trying to control it, understand it, or limit it. Be the girl God can trust to not cut corners. Be the one he can trust to give her best effort. Be the one he can count on to follow through. Be the on...

Jan 17, 202500:15:45Tap to summarizeSometimes life presents struggles and hardships that seem unfair, and certainly unwanted. Perhaps today as you listen, you’re in the middle of one of life’s struggles or you’re witnessing someone you love struggle, and more than anything you just want to find a way out. You want to break free. You want life to return to normal. You want the storms to cease and the calm to return. You want to fix this. Why can’t everyone just say sorry and fix this mess? I’ve been there too. Begging God to remove the struggle. And he didn’t. Why? In all his majesty and power, why wouldn’t he stop the raging storms in my life? I mean if I’m really his beloved and precious daughter, and if he’s the Daddy I thought he was, why wouldn’t he rescue us from this struggle? I’ve since learned the tremendous purpose in it all, the purpose today which was much bigger and greater than my struggles of yesterday. God wasn’t absent, he was omnipotent, and he was using his power in the greatest of ways in the middle of it all. Omnipotent means all-powerful. That’s our God! He alone holds the power to do absolutely anything.Psalm 115:3, “Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes.”Isaiah 55:11, “It is the same with my word. I sent it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.”Jeremiah 32:17, “O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!” Even when you can’t see him or understand him, God is being omnipotent. His power reigns perfectly. There’s a story of a man rescuing an emperor moth, perhaps you have heard it. As I share this story, I wish I could give credit to the author, but it’s a 20 year old printed piece of paper titled “Struggles In Our Lives” my dear friend found in her mother’s belongings after she died. A letter which perhaps comforted her mother during a struggle many years ago, perfectly preserved and placed for her daughter to find as she struggled after losing her mama. Isn’t that just the way our God works? So mysteriously random, yet so strategically specific. A man found a cocoon of an emperor moth. He took it home so that he could watch the moth come out of the cocoon. One day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. Then the man, in his kindness, decided to help the moth, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The moth then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the moth, expecting that at any moment the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened. In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What this man in his kindness and haste did now understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the moth to get through the tiny opening were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the moth into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. FREEDOM AND FLIGHT WOULD ONLY COME AFTER THE STRUGGLE. By depriving the moth of the struggle, he deprived the moth of health. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through life without any obstacles, he would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Our potential is only revealed through the fight. No fight, no flight. You want to rise up and soar in life? You want to reach new levels and experience life to it’s fullest? STOP AVOIDING THE STRUGGLE. Your freedom and flight will come after the struggle. Your pursuit of ease has limited your potential. Romans 8:18 says ” I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” What is God trying to reveal in you that only comes after the present suffering? I bet it’s something remarkable. And I bet it will be worth it! Today, we seek the shortcut and the hack in everything. How can I zoom through this as fast as possible to get to the next thing? How can I make this easier so that I can not only do this thing, but I can do 5 other things at the same time? Let’s microwave it, auto-pilot it, skip it, hack it, or get it for free. And oh what have we sacrificed in our desire to always make life easier? Have we missed that life was never meant to be easy? Have we missed that God had a divine purpose in it all? In the struggle.In the wait.In the restriction.In the setback.In the unfolding. Yes, just as the restriction of the cocoon and the struggle required to be free was for a purpose in the life of the moth, so is your struggle. You’re not being punished, you’re being propelled. You’re being strengthened. Now is the time you get to hear God, in his infinite wisdom and omnipotent mighty ways, say WAIT FOR IT … WAIT FOR IT … WAIT FOR IT. May we not rush in with scissors to cut our way out. May we not seek ease and comfort this time. May we be willing to struggle right through it, fight our way out, then spread those big ol’ mighty wings and soar in the life we were created for. Last Fall at our BIG Life Retreat in the Outer Banks, a precious young woman with the gift of prayer was with us. We learned quickly to invite her to pray over us. I will forever remember the words of one of her prayers. She said, “Lord, help us not rush to unpack what you wish to unfold.” Well, isn’t that what I do? I rush in and unpack when God wants to allow things to unfold. I want it fixed now. I want solutions and next steps with immediate action. And it’s as if God stretches out his arm and places his hand on my forehead so I am forced to stop. He gently whispers to my soul, “My girl, this will unfold in my timing and my way. Let it.” Just let it. Let it unfold. You don’t have to rush in and unpack this. You are not the fixer or the rescuer here. That’s God job. You, my sister, you suck at being God. The cocoons of life are for a future purpose of tremendous destiny. May we boldly embrace any hardships of today, fully trusting God knows exactly what he is doing in the unfolding!

Transcribe →1799 You’ve Been Chosen
Jan 16, 202500:18:02Tap to summarizeDo you remember being in middle school gym class and waiting to be chosen for a team? The coach would select 2 team captains, then those captains would take turns one by one building their own teams. Now I’m not sure who came up with this system, but I’m here as a fully grown 49 year old woman to tell you, that is traumatizing! I still remember just hoping someone would call my name early. Hoping I would be chosen to be part of a team. But my value as an athlete was rarely recognized and I stood just waiting to be chosen because I was the really fun peppy one. For those of us who have ever struggled with an unhealthy need to be liked and chosen, I believe it could have started right there in 5th grade PE! What if today, you’re being chosen FIRST? What if the team captain sees your value and worth and undeniably wants YOU on their team? How would you feel? Ephesians 1: 4-7 “Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.” Say what??? My sister, can you receive that as a personal message and confirmation from God Almighty? All the evil forces of Hell want to keep you from hearing this and believing it. Right now, you’re battling it. But the truth is clear. Hear it for yourself. Before this world was even created God was thinking of YOU. He was thinking of you, loving you, choosing you. Yes, the creator of the universe wanted you and he placed you in the middle of his creation because YOU bring him great pleasure. Girl, HE LOVES YOU! I’ve been studying the book of Leviticus. Whew, it’s a tough one. I can’t say I recommend it. Chapter after chapter are the offerings required to cover sin, guilt and shame. Rituals to be performed, sacrifices to be made, rules to be followed. It’s nearly impossible all that was required to redeem us before our Holy God. And that’s why he gave us Jesus! Jesus repays what we cannot. He redeems us wholly and completely. He is the offering, he is the sacrifice, he is our redemption. Because of Jesus, you are without fault in his eyes. Yes, that’s exactly what this scripture says. “He chose you in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.” Daughter, he doesn’t look at you with disgust. Nor does he look at you with disappointment. He sees you as the daughter he paid the highest price for because you were worth it. And this is what he wanted to do. God wanted to save you because you are worth saving. Your life is worth the sacrifice. And THAT is how God sees you. Maybe that’s a far cry from how you see yourself, and if so, you need to take another look. Take another look, because you have failed to see your value.Take another look, because you have failed to see your true worth.Take another look, because you have failed to see your potential. If you’ve been shrinking back, believing there’s nothing special about you, nothing outstanding about you, nothing remarkable about you … oh sister, think again! YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN! God purchased your freedom with the blood of his Son and that blood covers ALL your sins. Not just a little. Not just some. Not a select few, but all. All your sins have been covered. What is the most shameful thing you carry around with you? You’ve been dragging the guilt of this sin like a stone tied around your neck, weighing you down, holding you back and limiting your potential. And listen to me, it’s NOT YOURS TO CARRY. Oh it was your sin, no doubt. Your bad choice, your neglect, your mistake – it was you, but it’s no longer yours. On the cross the price was paid for you personally and every single one of your sins were bought. You have been forgiven. And what does our scripture today say? “This is what he wanted to do and it gave him great pleasure.” God wanted to pay the price for you. Jesus willingly did this for you knowing in advance every bad choice you would ever make. Ahhhhh, think about that for a moment. God knew every bad choice you would ever make in your entire life and he said “Yes, she’s worth it. She’s the one I want. I want to pay the price for her. I don’t want her to have to face the penalty for her sins or carry the guilt through her life. I’ll cover her.” This is what has been bought FOR you: FREEDOMAnd this is what has been bought FROM you: SHAME. You have no right to carry around the shame of your sin any longer. Someone bought it from you. Now imagine if you had a car and someone bought that car from you. It would no longer be yours, right? Even if that car was a total hunk of junk and you felt it had no value, if someone bought it from you, it is no longer yours. When you accepted payment, you relinquished your rights. Understand, this is what Jesus did for you. He showed up and bought that old hunk of junk that was littering your front yard and he hauled it off for you. He paid the price. Now it’s no longer yours. You have no right to go hunt it down and try to bring it back home. It’s not yours. As my 3 kids went through those rough teenage years, this is a truth I had to remind them of. They’re going to screw up. They will make world class jacked up choices just like I did, and God knew that when he chose them. It didn’t stop him. In fact, it made him all that much more determined to save them because he knew they couldn’t do it on their own. Won’t you tell your kids they don’t have to carry around that guilt and shame any longer? They have been forgiven. Maybe you’ve been holding a grudge against someone who wronged you. Won’t you let it go today? It’s not yours to carry. If God can cover your sin, don’t you believe he can cover someone else’s sin against you too? He can heal that wound. He can make you whole. Jesus paid the price for it already. You can walk in freedom now. Oh to be chosen! To be valued and loved and wanted! All your life that’s what you’ve been wanting, and here it is. You’re not left out, you’re called out. You’re not forgotten, you’re forgiven. You’re not passed by, you’re picked. Jesus has called “MINE!” and he’s looking right at you. Why? Because you’re worth it! In closing today, I will read our scripture again, this time from the Message translation (Ephesians 1: 4-7): “Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son. Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making.” Follow Pamela on Instagram – https://instagram.com/headmamapamelaOr Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/pamela.crimFind out more about BIG Life – http://biglifehq.com
Transcribe →1798 Vision of Potential
Jan 15, 202500:15:27Tap to summarizeWithin you at this very moment is some serious potential. Potential to not only change your life, but change the lives of others. Talents, gifts and strengths given to you by your Creator on purpose, for a purpose. Sadly we can live our entire lives without ever tapping into that potential and miss what it is we’re here to do. The thing about potential is, in the beginning it typically looks nothing like what it will grow to become. Just like the seed of an oak tree looks nothing like a tiny little oak tree, and apple seeds don’t look like adorable little apples. God created the seed of potential to appear unimpressive, but oh the mysteries it holds within. As a little girl, I planted flowers with my Grandma. In her pantry she kept brown paper bags with seeds from last year’s harvest. The bags were labeled with the name of the flower and the specific color. If she didn’t label the bag, she would have no way of knowing what she was planting come Spring. Her flower garden wasn’t random, it was designed specifically with intention. Imagine God working in your life with a storehouse of brown paper bags containing seeds of potential. Seeds that look insignificant and unimpressive. Seeds only he sees the label for, knowing what they can become. He sprinkles these seeds of potential in your life. Potential for who you can become, where you can go, and what you can do. Here you were thinking there’s nothing really spectacular about you and all this time God has placed seeds of potential in your soul. My question to you today is will you be daring enough to hone in on these potential skills, master your talents and share your strengths, and just see what God imagined when he gave you your potential? Oh girl, if you could only see the label on the bags he pulled from when he made you. Seeds of leading. Seeds of teaching. Seeds of serving. Seeds of wisdom. Seeds of strength. Seeds of grace. Seeds of patience. Seeds of perseverance. Seeds of prophesy. Seeds of miracles. Who could you become? Where could you go? What could you do? Well, it probably looks nothing like where you came from or who you started as. Why would you ever let who you used to be determine who you can become now? You’re in the process of becoming. Shed that shell and let’s see what you’ve got in you girl! When God said in Isaiah 43:19 “See, I’m doing a new thing”, don’t you know he was talking about YOU too? He’s doing something new in you. He’s allowing those seeds of potential to grow within you, and as they do, your life begins to take on a new shape and form. The apple seed is planted deep in the dark soil where it appears nothing happens for quite some time. That’s the way of potential, you can miss what is happening inside. You can miss what is to come if you’re staring at the ground. Eventually that seed breaks above the ground in a tiny sprout. Over time, that sprout becomes a tree. But that’s not all. There’s more to come, more that has yet to be seen. For most of us, that’s exactly where we are in life. We’re finally breaking out of the ground and growing, but we feel like there’s really nothing special about us. We just haven’t produced fruit yet, but it’s coming. This is where God is going to do a new thing … yes, new to you because you’ve never see your fruit before, but not new to him. He always knew your potential because he specifically chose it for you. You likely know the story of Noah. He’s man who built the ark and saved not only his family, but 2 of every animal species, to survive the flood and begin again. You can read his story in Genesis 6-9. Think about the potential God specifically put within Noah. He would save all forms of life to begin again. But all his life, he had no idea what was inside of him. He just knew how to build things, and honestly that didn’t seem all that impressive. Maybe he was good with animals. Okay, still not life altering there. But the seeds of potential God placed within him were also seeds of perseverance. Perseverance to build a giant boat in the middle of a drought. No rain had hit this dry land, and here’s this crazy man building a giant boat. Imagine what people said about Noah. Imagine the criticism and pointed fingers. Yet he persevered. From the storehouse of Heaven, God had given Noah exactly what he would need to keep going. Those seeds within him were growing and his potential was being tapped into. He built this great ship for nearly 100 years, with over 100,000 square feet in space. All of this from a normal man with a normal life, just living up to his potential. And really, that’s who you are, you’re just a normal girl with a normal life, and if you choose to partner with God, you can live up to a potential that is beyond anything you could ever ask, think or imagine. What could your normal life become when your potential is developed? I wonder what God had in mind for you when he chose seeds to place within you? Want to know? Ask him. Start asking God what HIS VISION for your life is. Ask him what untapped potential is still within you. Ask him what he wants to grow in your life. I always come back to Jesus’ words that tell us we do not have because we do not ask. What if we started asking? Not asking for the new car or the big boat, but asking about those seeds. Asking about our potential. Get curious about what could possibly be growing inside of you. Jesus told us seek and we will find. Seek what he wants to do in your life.Seek what he is up to. Oh, how exciting to find the potential in your life. I bet it will blow your mind! Isaiah 43: 18-19 MSG, “Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is!” Lord, give your girls a vision of the new things you are growing within us this year, and strengthen us to live up to the potential you have placed within us.

Transcribe →1797 Expect Delivery
Jan 13, 202500:18:49Tap to summarizeThere’s a difference between a wish and a plan. A wish is a thought without action. A plan puts that wish into motion with a path to make it possible. God has more than just good wishes for you. He has good PLANS for you. This means he doesn’t just wish goodness for you, he has it in the works. He has it arranged. He has the way made. It’s in store. You know if you order something today on Amazon Prime and it shows in stock, it’s on it’s way. You expect delivery. God’s plans for you are in stock and on their way. You can expect delivery my sister. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.” And whatever God plans, HE CAN MAKE HAPPEN. Who can stop the Lord? Who can out power him? Who could possibly get in his way, delay him, detour him, or defeat him? NO ONE. Isaiah 14:27 “The LORD of Heaven’s Armies has spoken— who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him?” So imagine this, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the one who has angels following his command, the one who controls all of heaven and Earth, has good plans for YOU and his hand is raised over you. Tell me again why you’re stressed. Tell me again why you are worried. Tell me again why you are overwhelmed. You have a good future ahead of you. There are not plans to harm you honey, there are plans to prosper you. I have good wishes towards you. I truly wish nothing but the best for you. But honestly, my wishes don’t change your life, do they? I don’t have the power or influence to change your future. But imagine the president of your company calling you today and saying, “I’ve noticed your work, and I have good plans for you.” Wow, would you get excited? Immediately you would envision promotion and a window office. A total breakthrough in your career. All because the boss has good plans for you. Imagine Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon and wealthiest man alive at a worth of 263 billion dollars sending you an email today and saying, “Your name came across my desk, and I have a ridiculously good future for you.” You would probably pee a little! Oh my goodness, what could this mean? The house on the hill without a single worry again. All because the rich man has good plans for you. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.” So how is it you’ve heart these words of the creator of the Universe, the owner of all that ever existed, the one who holds the whole world in the palm of his hands, the one who makes the sun to rise and the earth to spin, the one who gives you the very breath in your lungs, and you’re not phased? HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE? How has your entire world not been shaken with this word from God? He has good plans for you! God is the boss. He is the richest of all. Anything he wants to be done, can be done. If he tells a mountain to move, it moves. If he wants the ocean to stand on it’s end, those waters will part. If he wants water to turn to wine, you should get your cup ready. If he wants little to become more, it will be so. If he wants donkeys to talk, their lips start moving. If he wants dead bones to come alive again, they start rattling. If he wants babies to come when all hope is lost, then someone better buy a crib. If he wants prodigals to come home, you better get the party ready. It’s all in scripture. The proof is there. And HE is the one who has good plans for you! How has the darkness not lifted? How has your anxiousness not eased? How has your mind still been stuck in the state of worry? Someone who can TRULY make a radical difference in EVERY way, knows your name, knows exactly where you are, knows every detail of your life and he has good plans for you. Shouldn’t that give you hope for your future? Yes, it should. So why didn’t you wake up this morning absolutely moved by his plans of prosperity and goodness for you? The only possible reason is because you’ve dismissed yourself. You’ve closed yourself off. You’ve decided to not be available for the truth of his promises. Somehow you’ve heard these words from the Lord, and you’ve assumed that can’t include you. Not here, not now, not in this world. You think God is limited now for some reason? You think he’s too busy taking care of other problems? Oh, you’ve put God in a box. You’ve limited his power. You’ve assumed he’s running short on time or resources. He is here and he is working, girl get out of his way! Here on top of this mountain in Tennessee this week, we learned if you order something on Amazon and they ship it using the US Postal Service, you have to have a mailbox at the address for that delivery. Even if it’s a huge box full of beautiful Retreat dishes and supplies that would never fit in a tiny mail box, you still have to HAVE a mailbox for them to deliver. This mountain house doesn’t have a mailbox, so everything we ordered was returned to sender. No mailbox of availability, no delivery. Do you see where I’m going here? When you order from Amazon, you expect delivery, but you have to have a mailbox set up. God has plans for you, they’re on the way, but if you have no established space of availability for his delivery, it will be returned to sender. Girl, how many of God’s ridiculously good plans for life have been on their way to you, but could never be delivered because you don’t have your mailbox set up. Your life isn’t available. There’s no space for God. How can he speak when you’re so busy? How can he get your attention when you’re so distracted? How can he show you when you’re so self-focused? You’ve closed your heart off. You’ve limited your own life with your wounds and your worries. Now, God says, have the courage to seek me, trust me and pursue me. Live your life wide-open to my good, positive plans and believe you’re actually worthy of them. This is how you get your spark back, this is how you find the freedom to be truly happy. Let me cover you in my grace so that you do more than just survive, you thrive. I will give you peace. I will fill you with hope. I will heal your brokenness. I’m working right here, right now, and I’ll do it for you again and again. Psalm 14:2 MSG “God sticks his head out of heaven. He looks around. He’s looking for someone not stupid – one man, even, God expectant, just one God-ready woman.” Yes, God is looking for a one girl who is expectant and ready for him. Will that be you? May you dare to believe just how much he loves you. May your soul hear him and trust him. And may you be so bold as to believe it, and partner with him in those plans. That’s it, be a partner with God in his great plans. He has plans to prosper you. Plans to give you hope and future. Be his partner and step into those plans, and never dismiss yourself again. You can expect delivery if you have an established space of availability for Him.
