Revelation: Daughter, Let Your Voice Be Heard!

Recently, during my quiet time with the Lord,  He spoke to me and said, “Daughter, let your voice be heard!”  It stirred my spirit, and I know it’s meant to stir yours too. If you’ve been feeling restless, unsure, but ready for more, this word is for you. And the Lord Says, “Daughter, Let Your Voice Be Heard!” There are no limitations. I give you permission to step out of the box. Take off the training wheels and get ready to soar. Your mindset is shifting, and your old habits are no more. I dwell in you, and I want you to remember that always. Abide in Me as I abide in you (John 15:4). Things that are to come may look uncertain or different from what you are used to, but I want you to know that I am here, leading and guiding your every step. You will not fail. Walk with the authority I have given you! The season you’ve asked Me for has arrived. Your time is NOW!  Your moment is here! Take hold of what I have graced you with and hold on to it tightly. Remember, your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). But I, El Shaddai, have placed within you a power so strong that it fights back with righteous anger, for it is connected to its heavenly source—the Holy Spirit. Who is the Holy Spirit? “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:26). Do not fear what I will show you in the days to come. Instead, rejoice, for I have already provided all you need.   Hi friend! Did this revelation speak to you? Comment below your main takeaway and how you plan to act on this word in this quarter of the year! I’d love to hear from you!

Revelation: Move, It’s Time!

Earlier this month, in the wee hours of the morning, 4 a.m. to be exact, God woke me up and began to speak. Move! It’s time. Operate according to the Spirit of the Lord. Those were the first words He shared with me. Startled by His voice, instead of grabbing my phone as I usually would to write His word, I quickly grabbed my journal and began to write the words He had to say.  Sitting in His presence, God began to show me times in my life when I would start and stop. Visuals of myself getting excited about what He’d called me to do, but freezing when distractions would come my way. After revealing those scenes to me in the spirit He said, “No more holding back! For I have called you to move forward. The next word God spoke to me was:                                                                           Speak Up!   “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord. Jeremiah 1:7-8 (NKJV)    Now, although God spoke to me I believe this word is for his daughters at large.   Specifically women He has chosen, women whom He’s placed a mantle on their lives.  In this hour ladies,  God is calling us as His divine daughters to speak up and say what we see. Intercede on His behalf and share the good news to all. When the enemy comes with fiery darts in people who do not want to accept what we have to say or receive it, God tells us to “Not be afraid of their faces, for He is with us to deliver us from them.”  Yes, the enemy has a big mouth and minions to help him out. But our God is stronger, powerful, and ever so gracious. He blessed us with DOMINION (power, authority) over the enemy as soon as He kicked him out of Heaven and Jesus saw  the enemy fall like lightning. So, in short ladies, this means the enemy has already been defeated! (Isaiah 14:12-14, Luke 10:19) As the morning hour continued to grow, wide awake at this point, God continued to speak to me: “Stop playing in the safe zone,” He said. “ It’s time to move up and operate in whom I’ve called you to be.” Ladies if you didn’t know, God is ready to share with you great strategies and give you the answers to the prayers you’ve been praying for. He’s ready to give you divine increase financially, spiritually, and set you mentally free! You cannot afford to sit on the spirit of the living God. Thessalonians 5:19-22 (NKJV) says it clearly, “Do not quench the spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test ALL THINGS, hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” How is God speaking to you?  Do not count out His voice.  He is speaking and He has very much to say! Hey love, did Abba Father speak to you in this word? For clarification, what He had to say has been written in bold and red. If this Word blessed you in any way, please share in the comments below! I’d love to read! Blessings to you!

Are You Ready to Extend Your Stretch with God?

Are you ready? On your mark…get set… GO! Learn how I took on the long stretch with God and how you can too! Remember you are more prepared than you think you are!  Cool breeze kisses my face ever so lightly as I venture down a path of the unknowing. People around me chat in small groups while others walk their dogs.  Inhaling deeply, I smile and take in the moment of serenity. I then wonder, “Lord, why can’t ALL moments be like this— peaceful with NO problems?” As I continue to walk, I envision  God looking  at me with a sly grin responding, “Oh Erica, I could do that, but what fun would that be?” Tilting my head while looking at Him, I can’t help but agree. And, I’m sure you can’t but agree too. Let’s face it; our lives would be boring if no action took place, and we would operate like robots with no purpose roaming the Earth. Sis, that’s the ultimate reason I said yes to God. The Real Reason I was tired of running around the same hamster wheel, never catching a break, hanging around the same crew that didn’t align to my purpose nor His call on my life.     Now, I will admit this journey wasn’t easy then and sure isn’t easy now. However, I can say He’s been preparing me all along. He equips me for every trial I face.  Protects me from the fiery darts the enemy throws my way. He reveals things to me that will come. Just like me, if you’ve decided to say yes, He has a set of tools just for you to fight with when the enemy comes your way. Reflect and Journal Take a moment to reflect on the trials you’ve experienced. Write them out. While reflecting on these moments, acknowledge how they were challenging, but share how God saw you through them. Once you complete the task, share it with a loved one, a close friend, or someone you don’t know. You now have a testimony to share, a story to tell. Hi friend! Did you enjoy this message? Comment below your main takeaway and how you plan to implement it this season. I’d love to hear from you!

What to Expect When You Say “YES” to God

“So, how old do you think you’ll be when you fully settle down with God?” my friend Reggie asked. It was my junior year in college, we’d just finished another successful game night with friends and he decided to stay a little longer to help clean up. Pausing for a minute, I thought about his question and responded, “Hmmm, I don’t know maybe when I’m about 23.”  I figured because I was in college I needed to live a little and the Lord would understand.  Smiling at my response, we continued to chat about our future and what things would look like after college.  Once he left, I remember thinking to myself, only Reggie could ask me that question and I wouldn’t get offended. I mean– he was the only man I knew in his 20s engaged,  serious about his relationship with God, but would vibe to a 2Chainz or Trinidad James song real quick. As I sit back and think about that night I can’t help, but think about how God truly slide into that conversation and even changed the ending to MY story.  You see, my goal was to live out my life the way I wanted to and slide God in when I could. A Sunday service here and a communion session there.  I mean, can I be real? However, God had other plans for my life. The two years that followed turned out to be the purge of my life. I said YES I lost loved ones,  friendships ended, relationships dissolved, and my emotions went ramped. Through it all though, I was able to go back to my first love—Father God, who accepted me with open arms.  And, He made me His number one follower the following year once I surrendered. The Choice is Yours So, if you’ve decided to finally take a stance and follow God, I want you to know you’ve made the greatest decision of your life!  If you’re still thinking about it or you’re on the fence, meet me here. You no longer have to sit on the sideline any longer but sis you can join the game.  He has so much in store for you.  I will admit this journey is not for the weak, however, because you’re a queen of the Most High, He has a set of tools just for you to fight with when the enemy comes your way.  That is why this week’s passage is Ephesians 6:10-18. As you carry out the remainder of this week I encourage you to follow along with the Come Up season right here because next week, I’ll dig even deeper into what you can expect when you say yes to God! See you then! Hi friend! Did you enjoy this message? Comment below your main takeaway and how you plan to implement it in this season. I’d love to hear from you!
