Today I realized that I was afraid of success. I’m afraid
of being all that God has called me to be because I am afraid of the accountability
that it will intel and I feel undeserving of all that He has for me. I feel
like 2019 is a time to grow forward and to excel. It’s like we are knocking on
the door of the promises of God after spending so long in a wilderness. The
thing about being in a wilderness is that that place is meant to make you a warrior,
not a weak-minded victim. You are supposed to learn how to fight and encourage yourself in the wilderness, but
some of us have become content with the dryness of the land instead.
Today, I wanted to shrink because so much seems
possible for me right now. Things that I have been working for are right in
face, but a part of me wants to just shrink because I am comfortable. I became
comfortable with fighting and with the thoughts of giving of up. I became
friends with being disappointed, but now God is wanting to call forth the flowers
to bloom from the seeds that He has planted into so many of us.
God has never stopped encouraging me. He has placed
people into my life who have pushed me through love although they did not know
the details of my struggles. Today, I realized that I have been a plant that God
has been speaking over so that the investment that He has placed into me would
not die.
2018 was a hard year, but I want to congratulate you
for making it. God has been refining you and allowing the fire of controversy and
hardship to sharpen who you are in Him.. Everything that you have endured will
be a testimony when people thought that it should have been a funeral for your destiny.
Now nothing shall be impossible for you
(Matthew 17:20). You kept going even though you were tired. You have had faith although
it looked like you should have just given up a long time ago. Your testimony from
this day forward shall be that of Psalm 124, If it had not been for the Lord______________;
you fill in the rest. This is your year and your season, child of God.
“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 43:19 KJV).
“Then the LORD said to me, “You have
seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it” (Jerimiah 1:12 ESV).
Lord, I pray to celebrate the pain, the hard lessons,
and the times that I had to repent. I pray to be thankful for the moments of
correction concerning the things that you want to correct in me. I pray to always be teachable, humble, and submissive
concerning the paths that you direct me towards. I pray that I will trust you like you never before and that this will be
the season that I will understand who you are to me. In Exodus 6:3 you tell
Moses that you appeared to His fathers by the name Almighty God, but by the
name Jehovah, they did not know you. I pray that I am in tune with your voice
and that I will rebuke the voice of the enemy quickly in Jesus name. I pray for
wisdom, discernment, and to dwell in your presence. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Notes:
Sometimes we seek to know God in the way that our ancestors knew Him, but there
comes a time in your life when you have to know God for yourself. You may not
see Him the way that their mama or grandmama saw Him. Moses saw I AM. He saw
God in a way that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob did not. I pray to not limit God in
my life because He bigger than box that I could attempt to place Him in. I pray
that you open your heart to the way that God wants to appear to you. I pray
that you will open your heart and your ears to His voice. I pray for your freedom.
I don’t know what you are dealing with, where you come from, or what you
believe, but God loves you. I pray that you will allow His presence to saturate
your dwelling place. Believe in miracles, signs, and wonders. There is nothing
impossible for God (Luke 1:37)
