Birthday Reflections

Isaiah 55:11 – 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.

My birthday was on Tuesday and I am more excited about my life and ministry than I have been in the nine years since beginning this journey full-time. I am sitting here amazed at the Lord. Amazed that the visions He has shown me are in the season in which they are coming to pass.

When you are willing to do what it takes to have unshakable faith in your life, He will move all of heaven and earth to bring His word to pass in your life. I just keep praising Him for His Word and that it does not return void but brings you whatever He said it would.

And my journey has not been easy. On the day of my actual birthday I woke up feeling incredibly grateful for all God has brought me through. I thought of all of the tears of struggle and frustration that I shed early on in the process of building a ministry. I thought of the days where I simply did not know where the finances were going to come from the cover the basic needs of me and my daughter.

I thought of the countless nights that I couldn’t sleep before I learned to really trust the Lord because of worry and anxiety. I thought of the many times I pushed past the Lord in a rush to manifest all that He had shown me in visions. It has been worth every second of the journey.

Then, something happened on the eve of my birthday. I became fully “integrated.” I gained the spiritual understanding that the Kingdom of God truly dwells within me. That means that there is a replica of the Kingdom of Heaven within me. I no longer had to push, strive, or reach, I simply had to access what God had already placed within me – express it.

The truth is, I don’t even know what this looks like, but I am finding out. About six months ago the Lord told me that He desired to make everyday my best day. In other words, everyday was going to be better than the last day in a way that would keep my mind continually blown. But He said that I did not know how to receive from Him and that my capacity for good was not big enough. I have spent the last six months getting ready.

He told me on my birthday that it had begun. He started by blessing me with the best birthday present I could imagine -  the critical team member to partner with to bring this work to the world. I had been praying for years about the right person coming and he sent her on my birthday. Every vision, every prophecy and every promise the Lord made to me about this person came to pass and I am so grateful I can barely contain myself.

Now, everything is in place to truly release all God has placed within me. This has been the best birthday ever; one that is beyond what I could think or imagine…just as His Word promises.

Praise God! Off we go…
