THE ONE THING 1

Gleanings from my journey walking in the finished work of Jesus Christ

Some weeks stretch us, others steady us and this one did both. Through every moment, the Lord kept showing up through His Word. Here’s how He met me, one verse at a time:

𓆸 He Spoke In A Vision
➸ A familiar vision returned again, for the third time this year, and once more this verse rose to meet it. Each time the Lord brings it back, the picture grows clearer, more detailed, more directional. I can feel Him unfolding something in this season… something nearing fruition.

“He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away.” Isaiah 49:2.

𓆸 When the Week Felt Heavy
➸ With work stretching me and my schedule feeling nonstop, this verse became a steady anchor. It reminded me that sustaining grace is a Person—Jesus. And all week long, He carried what felt too heavy for me.

“Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:22.

𓆸 When My Strength Felt Thin
➸ I’m still meditating on this one, turning it over slowly. It’s been an unusually demanding week with more complex patients and far less motivation after long shifts. Yet this verse keeps drawing me back to the beautiful paradox of the Kingdom:
we don’t soar after we’re strong—
we soar because we’re in Christ and He is.

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”Isaiah 40:31.

𓆸 When My Day Closed in Worship
➸ This was part of my Lectio reading earlier in the week, and it’s become my favorite nighttime rhythm. The more I lift my hands, the more it feels like my heart rises with them.

“Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!” Psalm 141:2.

𓆸 In the Midnight Hour
➸ One night, drifting to sleep felt impossible. But as soon as I whispered this verse, peace poured in like oil.

“When I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night.” Psalm 63:6.

That zips up my week. How was yours? What word held you, dear friend? I’d love to know.

You’ve heard it said, “Be a doer of the word.”

But there’s far more beneath the surface than a call to good works it is a call to transformation.

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James 1:22.

The conjunction “and” in verse 22 reminds us that hearing the Word and doing the Word go together. Sometimes people pit doing against hearing as though they are opposites, but they’re not. They were always meant to complement one another.

In order to be a doer one must not only hear but continue hearing the word of Christ.

Let’s get into it. 😉

The next verses provides the context:

“For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror.” James 1:23.

James is not saying, “Stop hearing.” He is saying, “Hear, and don’t stop there.”

Allow the Spirit to work effectively in you so the word that is sown in your hearts takes root that bears beautiful fruit of Christ. In this way it is Jesus, living and working through you➸Gal. 2:20.

James gives a vivid example:

“For he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.”James 1:24.

Friend, the mirror is the Word of Christ, which reveals Him and who we truly are in Him. When we experience the Word, we should never leave the same.

“But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭25‬.

The perfect law of liberty is not the Ten Commandments for Mount Sinai gives birth to bondage ➸Gal. 4:24.

So what is this law of liberty?

I can think of none other than the Gospel.
Check out these Scriptures;
➸Ps. 19v7.
➸ Jer. 31:33.
➸Ezek. 36:26-27.
Fulfilled in Christ
➸Rom. 8:1-11.
➸2 Cor. 3:3.
➸Gal. 5:18, 22-23.
➸Heb. 8:10.

The gist?

“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2.

We are not governed by the law written on stone, but rather the life-giving law written on our hearts through Christ.

Hey Friend,

You’ve heard the phrase, “Bloom where you’re planted.”

This isn’t a cliché or a hook— it’s a Kingdom principle.

It might sound strange to talk about blooming in November, when everything around us is going into hibernation, but God’s Kingdom is never dormant. Heaven’s rhythm doesn’t mirror earth’s seasons, especially in times that look barren.

When God said, “Be fruitful,” (Genesis 1:28) He wasn’t merely talking about productivity; He was speaking about identity. To be fruitful isn’t about output; it’s about overflow. It’s not performance; it’s alignment.

Fruitfulness is the evidence that the life of Jesus has taken root in us. It’s the slow and sacred formation of character, the Spirit shaping us into His likeness. Before we multiply, expand, or reign… we are called to be fruitful first.

Because character precedes promotion.
Roots come before the bloom.
Formation before fruit.

So many of us long for increase, for God’s promises to unfold, and yet, in His love—He waits. He refines our soil. He deepens our dependence.

Why? Because He will never place us where our character cannot keep us.

He’s not withholding; He’s weaving.
He’s not delaying; He’s developing.
He’s preparing us for what we’ve prayed for.

True fruitfulness isn’t striving; remember Jesus said it’s abiding. It is enjoying the secret place—Him.

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” John‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬.

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John‬ ‭15‬:‭5‬.

“By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭8‬.

It’s being found faithful in hidden places. In due season, the bloom will speak for itself; its fragrance revealing the faithfulness of the Gardener.

Where is God forming you right now? What fruit is He nurturing in your soil?

Happy New Week!

Each year, November seems to be the month when our home slows down to reflect and realign. It is the time when we celebrate on a larger scale what God has done thus far and begin to pray about where He desires to take us in the new year.

I took a few days off and was reminded of the importance of spiritual formation, which drew me, particularly in this season, to the fact that it begins with reconciliation.

My heart has been heavy with the division in the world, even more deeply saddened that division has crept into the Church. It seems as though many are fractured by offense, disappointment, and disillusionment. Yet the commission remains unchanged, as the flesh, bones, and voice of Jesus—we are still called to be ministers of reconciliation. We are still ambassadors of a living, breathing, and all-powerful heavenly kingdom.

We are invited to stand in the gap where bitterness has built walls, where hope has grown hollow, and love has grown cold.

So this week, we focus on seven prayers of reconciliation. We are asking God to restore what has been broken first in us, and then through us.

This week we choose to:

Be reconciled to God.

Be reconciled to self.

Be reconciled to the Church.

Be reconciled in our marriages.

Be reconciled to our children.

Be reconciled in our friendships.

Be reconciled to humanity.

“Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.” II Corinthians 5:18.

Journal✍️🏾
Lord, where are You calling me to return, repair, or reconcile?

Hi Friends,
We’re almost to the weekend, and the Lord has carried us gallantly through another week.

As Thursday unfolds and Friday draws near, let’s continue to slow our pace and prepare our hearts to rest in His presence over the weekend.

May we enter the weekend with intention, creating space for our souls to exhale, to find beauty in simplicity, and joy in the nearness of Jesus.

Here are a few ideas to help us rest, reflect, and reconnect with Him:

🕯️ Light a candle and read a Psalm aloud—let the light of the Word, His countenance, remind us of His faithfulness.
🌻 Create a gratitude jar—write down His mercies throughout the month. (Focus: awareness)
📖 Journal a gratitude prayer—let the pen create an altar of thanksgiving. (Focus: praise)
💌 Write a letter of encouragement—send a handwritten note with a verse to uplift someone.
🍲 Host a “Soup & Scripture” night with friends—share food, laughter, and a short Bible devotion.
🧺 Make a “Blessing Basket”—surprise someone in need with clothing, home essentials, or groceries.
🌿 Take a leisurely walk and talk with Jesus—enjoy being present with the Lover of our souls.

During November🍂, let’s capitalize on the season, creating cozy moments that stir our hearts toward Christ, the One who warms our souls and makes the human heart a home.

As always have a blessed weekend,

Mid-Week Pick-Me-Up Praise Break ✞

Hey friend,
I’m not sure what you’re walking through this week, but I want to come alongside you and remind you—you are not alone.

The Lord is near. He has not forgotten you,and His plans for your life in Christ have not changed. Even in the waiting, the working, or the wondering, He is faithful.

So if no one has told you lately, let me remind you of who you are in Him:

You are Loved

“The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: ‘Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.’” Jeremiah 31:3.

You are Chosen

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2:9.

You are Redeemed

“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Ephesians 1:7.

You are Adopted

“Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.” Ephesians 1:5.

You are Set Apart

“For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.” Deuteronomy 7:6.

You are Anointed

“But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” 1 John 2:20.

You are Righteous

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬.

Take a praise break right here: lift your heart, lift your hands, and thank Jesus that your identity is secure in Him.

Let’s Pray🙏🏾

Jesus, thank You for calling me Your own. Thank You for redeeming my life, for choosing me, loving me, and setting me apart for Your glory. Remind me today that my calling is in You alone. Help me to walk worthy of that call, anointed, secure, and full of gratitude for the grace that found me. In Your holy name Jesus, Amen.

Which truth speaks to your heart most today? Comment below and save this post to revisit when you need a mid-week reminder of who you are in Christ.

Blessings!

Grace is not a concept or a doctrine, Grace is a Person: the very person of Jesus. Today, because of grace, we are seen, loved, and secure in Him.

Grace continually saves us. He meets us in our weakness, carries us through weariness, and teaches us how to walk in the freedom of being fully accepted.

This week, may these seven verses anchor our hearts in the unshakable truth that His grace is enough.

“And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.” John 1:16.

“For by grace we have been saved through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8–9.

Grace dismantles pride and striving, reminding us salvation was never something we could earn—it was God’s lavish gift. Grace found us, called us, and keeps us. We are already loved, already chosen, already seated in heavenly places, all because of His marvelous grace.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

Our weakness is the very place where we encounter His grace—where divine strength meets human frailty and turns it into testimony.

“But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.” Romans 5:20.

Grace runs deeper than sin and higher than shame. We are never too far gone for grace to reach us. The more we see our need, the more we discover His endless supply.

“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.” Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭12‬.

Grace not only pardons; it empowers. It disciplines without condemnation, sanctifies without shame, and transforms us in love.

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace.” Hebrews 4:16.

Here, mercy meets us in our mess, and grace equips us for our mission.

November is here, and with it comes a mix of emotions. The world feels heavy with uncertainty rumors of war, scarcity, and unrest and yet simultaneously, hearts are turning toward the warmth of the holidays. There’s a longing for peace and togetherness, even as the atmosphere feels fragile.

In the midst of these opposing currents, I sense the Lord calling us away from distraction to devotion, not to strive for control, but to consecration.

It’s a new week with an opportunity to slow down and soak in five prayers that will re-center our hearts around the One who is the substance of all things.

May we turn our gaze toward our True North, Jesus Christ, and allow Him to align our hearts, purify our desires, and guide our steps. In doing so, we’ll not only give thanks but be positioned to honor Him in every way, no matter what the world looks like around us.

Search Me, O God

Prayer:
Lord, shine the light of Your Spirit into every corner of my heart. If there is any bitterness, fear, idolatry, or unbelief, uproot it by Your mercy. Teach me to walk humbly and to repent quickly. I surrender the secret places; cleanse me and I will be whole. Amen.

Scripture:
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Psalm 139:23–24.

Lead Me, O Lord

Prayer:
Jesus, You are the Good Shepherd, take me by the hand and lead me through every moment. Where I’ve wandered, bring me back. When I’m tempted to rely on my own understanding, remind me that Your wisdom surpasses mine. Align my desires with Your will and keep my feet steady upon Your path. Amen.

Scripture:
“Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day.” Psalm 25:5.

Keep Me Salty and Light

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, let Your light shine through my words and actions. May I dwell in Your sweetness and my life draw others to Your kindness. Keep me from compromise, and also from pride. Keep me salty, Lord, seasoned by grace to flavor with love, to preserve truth, to purify with righteousness, and bring healing to those around me. Amen.

Friends, it’s November🍁.

The air is crisper, the days are brisker, and creation itself whispers, “slow down, see and enjoy His goodness.”

As we step into this sacred season, may we embrace never-ending worship, letting praise and gratitude rise like incense before the Lord.

May we nourish ourselves in His Word, draw near to the One who is near to us, and nestle ourselves in His rest.

May we nurture our prayer life with sincerity and navigate every moment with the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit, remembering that grace is paving the way.

In every breath, with every turning leaf, and every quiet moment, there is an invitation to behold His beauty and dwell in His presence.

And in that beholding, may our lives become a living offering. May every moment be one where Jesus gets all the glory!

🍂

“One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.” Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭4‬.

“Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Psalms‬ ‭29‬:‭2‬.

Thank you for being here, beloved💛
Happy 🍂November🍁, Blessings🎁!!
Andrea

🍁 Welcome November🍁

“Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and bless His name.” Psalm 100:4.

November is almost here, friends! Wow, I am filled with expectation. I continue to see God move in incredible ways and He ain’t done yet.

The word sitting on my heart is HARVEST, and the words that roll of my lips: Jesus is Lord.

The harvest begins by acknowledging the Lord of the harvest, the One who turns our moments into seeds that blossom into fragrant fruit that glorifies His name.

As we prepare for this next month, I sense the Spirit inviting us to slow down and notice His blessings in both the grand and the small. To offer the sacrifice of praise even before the breakthrough. To value people above possessions, extend kindness generously, and meditate on His goodness until gratitude overflows.

November is also whispering to bring our firstfruits before the Lord, embrace contentment in Christ alone, and rejoice always, knowing the Lord is near.

So as we step into this season, may we not just celebrate harvest with our hands, but with our hearts, full of thanksgiving, overflowing with praise, and rooted in the assurance that He who promised is faithful.

Friends, may we continue to notice His blessings, offer Him praise, and value what truly matters. May grace mark our conversations, meditation steady our souls, and contentment clothe our hearts in peace.

Let every table become an altar, every gathering a testimony, and every breath a declaration: Jesus, You are Lord of the harvest, and You are good to me.

Thank you for being here, beloved🍁

Seven Ways To Cultivate A Heart of Gratitude for the Holidays🍁

Well Beloved, as October draws to a close, the rhythm of the year shifts ushering us toward the holiday season. For many, this time carries both joy and tension: the anticipation of celebration mingled with the weight of memories or expectations. With so much unfolding in the world around us, it’s easy to feel stretched thin or distracted from what truly matters.

Today, I want to share a few words perhaps more than a few to help us transition with grace and stay rooted in hope. As we step into this new season, may these seven simple yet sacred practices help us cultivate a heart of gratitude that reflects the peace and presence of Christ.

Guard Your Peace

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” Colossians 3:15.

Before calendars fill and lists grow, invite Jesus to be Lord over your schedule. Guard your peace by prioritizing His presence. Say “yes” to what leads you closer to Him and “no” to distractions that drain your soul.

Practice Intentional Gratitude

“Give thanks in all circumstances.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

Gratitude keeps the heart soft and aware of God’s goodness. Begin each day by naming things you’re thankful for not just tangible blessings, but the lessons, growth, and grace.

Walk in Forgiveness

“Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Colossians 3:13.

The holidays can surface old wounds and strained relationships. Prepare your heart by releasing offense and choosing mercy. Forgiveness frees you to love purely and celebrate fully.

Steward Your Focus

“Set your mind on things above.” Colossians 3:2.

The season’s glitter can easily distract from His glory. Fix your gaze on Jesus, not on perfection, performance, or possessions. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you discern what truly matters.

🍁Family That Prays Together, Stays Together

As the season continues to unfold, the world will begin to rush into festivities; may we pause to lift our eyes to the Giver of every good and perfect gift.

Let’s remember what truly matters: faith, family, and fellowship in the presence of God.

As we enter this season, may our gratitude rise not just for what we have, but for whom we have, our Savior, our family, and the beautiful unity of the Spirit that draws us together in prayer.

In a world that pulls families apart through busyness and distraction, prayer re-centers us back to Christ.

This week, we have five prayers to anchor our families in His presence, as we prepare our hearts for the month of November.

Protection

Abba Father, thank You for bringing our family under the shadow of Your wings. Shield us from harm, guard our hearts, and keep us from the snares of the enemy. May Your angels encamp around our home and every place we go. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.’” Psalm 91:1-2.

❦

Provision

Lord Jesus, You gave Your life upon the cross, meeting our greatest need. In satisfying the deepest hunger of our souls, You graciously encompassed every lesser thing: our daily needs, our silent desires, the small details You so tenderly ordain. Thank You, faithful Provider, for being our healing, our wholeness, our living water, and our daily bread. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19.

7 Daily Declarations

Happy Monday, Friends!

Today’s word is simple yet powerful: Declare and decree the truth of Scripture. We live in a world loud with opinions and uncertainty but God’s Word remains the same.

When we speak His promises aloud, we align our hearts with Heaven’s reality. When we declare, we’re strengthen. What we decree, we invite into our atmosphere.

So let’s rise and speak life today. Declare His truth over every thought, emotion, and situation. Let faith shape your language, love lead your words, and hope arise.

When the enemy comes in like a flood with thoughts, suggestions, temptations, and situations: Speak the Word of God!

Let’s declare them together:

God loves me.
“The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: ‘Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.’” Jeremiah 31:3.

God is for me.
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31.

God is with me.
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10.

God is guiding me.
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.” Psalm 32:8.

God is keeping me.
“The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.” Psalm 121:7–8.

God is fighting for me.
“The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” Exodus 14:14.

God has plans for me.
“‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,’ says the Lord, ‘thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.’” Jeremiah 29:11.

Declare the word daily. Believe it deeply. Rest in it fully.

You are loved, chosen, and kept. Nothing can separate you from His love, nor snatch you from His hand.

Amen.

Let me know the word resonates with you, my friend💛 Share this with a friend who needs a word of encouragement🤗

Hi Beloved, it’s a new week and a new word:

Whatever you place in the hands of the Lord becomes sanctified: Begin with you.

It doesn’t begin with what we do but how we yield. It isn’t striving, but surrender. Not in performance, but in our posture before Him.

Pause for a moment❦
Breathe in: I am
Breathe out: In His presence.

Beloved, when we place our lives, our habits, our hopes, and even our hurts into the hands of Jesus, He transforms them.

What was ordinary becomes holy.
What was broken becomes beautiful.

The same hands that bore the nails, now hold our healing. They bless what’s yielded, multiply what’s offered, and make sacred what’s surrendered.

He is ever so gracious giving us the blessing of time. And each moment is an invitation to begin again. So let’s accept Him. Let’s start today, in this moment.

Let’s lay down our plans, all that we’ve been clutching, the timelines that weigh heavily, the fears that are whispering, and place ourselves fully, freely, finally in His hands.

In His hands, everything finds its true purpose. And in His presence, our surrender becomes the sweetest satisfaction of all.

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24.

Let’s Pray🙏🏾
Abba Father,
Thank You for this time of sweet communion. I am grateful for Your nearness and for the promise that what You’ve begun in me, You are faithful to complete.

Lord Jesus,
I surrender everything, again, here in this moment. I am overwhelmed that I get to embrace each moment as new in You. Take what I’ve held and make it holy. Let Your hands shape me according to Your will.

Holy Spirit,
Sanctify me in truth. Guide my heart, my thoughts, and my steps. Keep me tender before You and steadfast in Your peace.

God, may my life be a living altar. Wholly set apart, surrendered, and satisfied in You alone.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Save this and repeat as often as needed. Share this if it blessed you.

Happy New Week!

me.

“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” John‬ ‭17‬:‭17‬.

Friend, we are at the end of another week and I can't help but give Jesus all the glory🙌🏾. Beloved, if you knew what He saved me from and walked me through, how He still upholds my life, you’d be compelled to proclaim the Name of Jesus too.

Jesus has delivered me…
From insecurity into identity in Him.
From perfectionism into the peace of His finished work.
From striving into the rhythm of grace.
From self-hatred into belovedness.
From comparison into contentment.
From anorexia, bulimia, and self-harm to body acceptance, wholeness, and restoration.
From brokenness into beauty.
From religion into relationship.
From fear into faith.
From guilt and shame into righteousness.
From confusion into clarity and calling.
From darkness into light.
From despair into hope.
From isolation into intimacy with the Father.
From emptiness into overflowing purpose.
From silence into a song of victory.
From sorrow into joy unspeakable.
From sin’s grip into the safety harbor of eternal salvation.
From death into His abundant life.
And there’s more… He isn't done yet, Hallelujah🙌🏾

Jesus didn’t just walk me through, He carried me through, every valley, every relapse, every tear, every turning. When I look back there is only one set of footprints—His.

He never left me in the ashes, but instead He crowns me with loving-kindness, His glory, and calls me redeemed👑.

And when I fall, oh friend—I haven’t finished the race, so when I fall, it’s an upward stumble because I fall into His everlasting arms. I am loved and so grateful to Jesus that I am His (Isaiah 43:1).

So yes; I will forever proclaim the Name of Jesus. The Name that heals, restores, redeems, and reigns✞.

Beloved friend, what song of redemption rises from your life?

Today, tell of the One who saves. Share below how Jesus has delivered you, that together we may echo His glory.

“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” Psalms‬ ‭107‬:‭2‬.

Lord Jesus be glorified🙌🏾

5 Prayers to Pray: Morning • Midday • Evening🙏🏾

Beloved, each day carries within it a rhythm: one of rising, working, and resting. However, when we pause to acknowledge God, when we realize His presence throughout the day, each moment becomes sacred.

We can savor the everyday when we quiet ourselves in prayer, whether silently listening to the Father’s voice or holding a conversation with Him through prayer.

When we pause to pray, we anchor our hearts in the One who is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. God cares deeply about us and is waiting for us to turn to, believe in, and rely on Him.

Let these five prayers steady your soul morning, noon, and night for the rest of the week.

🌅 MORNING PRAYERS:
Begin with Surrender and Strength

Prayer of Surrender

Lord Jesus, this day is Yours. Let my steps follow Your path, my thoughts be aligned with Your truth, and my heart remain yielded to Your Spirit. Amen.

📖 “Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.” Psalms‬ ‭143‬:‭8‬.‭

Journal Whisper: Where is the Lord prompting me to surrender and in what way is He asking me to depend on Him before the day unfolds?

Journal Whisper: Where can I invite His presence into this moment right now?

✞ Crucified and Cleansed There Is Grace Before Growth 🌱

This past weekend, our pastor quoted William Romaine, and the words haven’t left me since:

“No sin can be crucified either in heart or life, unless it be first pardoned in conscience; if it be not mortified in its guilt, it cannot be subdued in its power.” — William Romaine (1714–1795)

Those words pierce with truth. Before we can conquer sin’s power, we must first rest in the truth that its guilt has already been conquered at the Cross.

Many of us strive to crucify sin through willpower, discipline, or even sincere devotion, yet still live weighed down by condemnation. But it is the blood of Jesus that cleanses and silences the voice of guilt. Only grace can disarm the enemy’s accusations, and only the breastplate of righteousness can shield your heart from his fiery arrows.

When your conscience is sprinkled clean by the blood of Christ (Hebrews 9:14), the grip of sin loses its hold.

God’s forgiveness doesn’t just erase the record; it empowers new life. Friend, the same grace that pardons is the grace that purifies.

We don’t crucify sin to be accepted; we put sin to death because we are accepted in the Beloved.

In Christ, guilt is not the motivator—grace is. You stand not as a condemned sinner trying to get free, but as a beloved child already cleansed.

And from that place of freedom, you learn to walk in victory, not striving for it but living from it.

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬.

“For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” Romans 6:14.

Journal ✍️🏾Prompt:
Where have you been trying to subdue sin by effort instead of resting in forgiveness?

How does knowing you are already pardoned change how you face temptation or shame?

Declaration 📣:
Because I am forgiven, sin has no dominion over me. The Cross is my victory, and His grace is my strength.

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13 ✞

Today’s word is simple yet profound: Call on the name of the Lord and be saved.

We often think this verse speaks only to the moment of salvation that initial turning of the heart receiving grace in truth, yet it’s an invitation that continues every day of our lives.

We are not only saved once from sin; we are being saved through life, continually upheld by His power and presence.

Friends, the truth is, we need saving daily, from ourselves, our thoughts, our emotions, our unbelief, our weariness, and the ever-changing situations that surround us. We need saving from the lies that whisper we are alone, from the heaviness that tries to smother hope, from the fear that clouds our faith.

Every moment of every day, we need Jesus!

We need His peace to steady us, His truth to anchor us, His Spirit to lead us, and His grace to fill the gaps where we fall short.

Whatever you are facing today, call on the name of Jesus.

Not as a last resort, but as your first response.

When you whisper His name, you acknowledge His presence.
When you speak His name, His power is released.
When you trust His name, His peace floods in.

“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” Psalm‬ ‭145‬:‭18‬ ‭✞

His name still heals.
His name still delivers.
His name still saves.

So pause for a moment:
Breathe in: Jesus
Breathe out: Saves

He is your saving grace, your strong tower, your constant supply. And He is enough!

Don't keep this word to yourself; share the hope we have in Christ Jesus with someone today.

Happy Monday🥰
Andrea.

Bible Verses that will hold you this week⟱

“The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.” Isaiah‬ ‭32‬:‭17‬.

“I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me In righteousness and justice, In lovingkindness and mercy;”
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.” Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬.

‭“And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.” Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭18‬.

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” II Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬.

The running theme is righteousness woven in these verses.

This is so important because it is the powerful message of the Gospel: “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.” Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬.

The beginning of receiving our inheritance starts when we believe the truth of the Gospel: We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone.

We cannot add to the message of the Cross; we can only receive Him and live as beneficiaries of His finished work.

The enemy relentlessly seeks to distort this truth using fear, superstition, or self-effort to convince believers they must “break off” the past or earn their way into freedom. But Scripture makes it plain: God’s call is repentance toward Him and faith in the Gospel of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ alone.

Many place their faith in countless things, yet Jesus invites us to believe one simple, eternal truth: He has finished the work of the Father.

Our part ➸ “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬.

In Matthew 6:33, “and His righteousness” isn’t in addition to but rather an emphasis on the fact that we are justified by faith in Jesus alone (Romans 4:25).

Beloved, the blood of Jesus is enough to redeem your past, sustain your present, and secure you forever. Soak in the truth this week and walk in His abundance.

Blessings,
Andrea.

Today’s word is simple: Thank You, Jesus 🙌🏾!

I’m grateful for so many things, breath in my lungs, love that surrounds me, the beauty of creation, and the gift of community but nothing compares to the gift of salvation.

I was lost, Jesus pursued me, and now I am found in Him. I live because of Him.

If Jesus didn’t do another thing for me; I am grateful because He saved me!

“…But rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:20.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies.”
Psalm 103:2–4.

“Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
For YAH, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.”
Isaiah 12:2.

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.” Titus 3:5.

What about you, beloved — what are you grateful for today?

Take a moment to pause and thank Him. And don’t forget to share the goodness, kindness, and sweetness of our Savior with someone who needs encouragement.

Have a phenomenal weekend!

I’ve been reflecting on a sobering story in Scripture: the two and a half tribes who didn’t cross the Jordan—Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh (Numbers 32). What is interesting is it was Reuben and Gad initially (Numbers 32:1-5), yet the half tribe of Manasseh got swept up into this as well (Numbers 32:33).

The Jordan is more than a river; it represents a second baptism (we’ll come back to that in my book📌), a call to step fully into the promise of God. Yet these tribes chose to stay back because what they saw looked more pleasant. They measured with their eyes instead of trusting God’s word.

At first glance, their decision seemed harmless. But history tells a different story! Don’t believe me, read the word for yourself. These very tribes were the first to fall into captivity (1 Chronicles 5:25–26), which speaks volumes to me, and I pray it will to you as well.

The lesson is clear:
• Proximity matters.
• Obedience matters.
• The Promise matters.

When we grow lackluster in taking possession, we cheapen our inheritance, treating it as ordinary, remember Esau.

But Jesus did not die for us to settle for “ordinary.” He died that we might take full possession of the Kingdom life He purchased with His blood. Anything less is to take His grace in vain.

This isn’t just an Old Testament warning. Hebrews reminds us of the same reality: “For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God… Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience” (Hebrews 4:8–11).

I don’t share this lightly. It’s a strong word, but one we must hear. As citizens of heaven and ambassadors of the Kingdom, we cannot choose comfort over commission. There is too much at stake. Souls are perishing daily without Christ.

Friend, many believers long to move forward in faith yet feel stuck in cycles of defeat. The key to becoming “unstuck” isn’t doing more; it’s believing what Christ has already done and walking in Him.

I know, it sounds simple, right? That’s because it is. Jesus never meant for the life of faith to be complicated. We’re the ones who often make it harder. Our Lord brings clarity, not confusion. He said that we are like sheep—prone to wander, get stuck in the mud, or even fall over, but the truth always leads us back to Him, His word, ways, and will.

Here are three truths that release you into freedom and forward motion:

Behold the Cross.
The Way Out: Accept the truth that you have been crucified with Christ.

The Truth: You’ve died! You are not “dying.” Scripture declares, “You were baptized into His death.”

Romans 6:2 uses the Greek word ἀπεθάνομεν (apethanomen) — aorist active indicative — meaning a once-for-all, completed death. You’re not in process; it’s done.

➸Because your old self is dead, you no longer have to fight from defeat but live from freedom.

Savor the Resurrection.
The Way Out: Walk in the truth that you were raised with Christ.

The Truth: You have been lifted into His resurrection life.

Romans 6:4 says, “Just as Christ was raised from the dead … we too might walk in newness of life.”

Your new life in Christ isn’t a goal; it the beginning. You live from the point of His resurrection, not toward it.

➸The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now gives life to you.

Rest in Christ.
The Way Out: Believe that you are seated with Christ in heavenly places.

The Truth: Ephesians 2:6 declares, “God raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

This isn’t a future promise; it’s a present positional reality. You reign from rest, not striving.

➸To sit with Christ is to cease from self-effort and rest in His finished work. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide each step throughout the day. He is willing, He is able; depend on Him.

One ounce of God’s favor outweighs a lifetime of labor.

Beloved, the Kingdom of God is one of reversals. The one who is first shall be last; when we stay low that’s where His grace flows.

The world’s rhythm is fast, loud, restless, and rectless. The spirit of the world demands constant striving:
Grind for recognition.
Labor that leaves us weary.
Anxious toil that drains the soul.
Manipulation to gain advantage.
And the enedless pursuit of more.

But none of it satisfies. It never will. Because the spirit of the world can only measure worth by effort.

The invitation of the Spirit, in sharp contrast, speaks that we are known and loved. He invites us to rest in the finished work of Christ.

Friend, the Gospel is not a call to grind harder but to surrender deeper. Jesus bore the sweat of Gethsemane, the strain of the cross, and the agony of sin so that you and I might live in the ease of His grace.

The Spirit whispers: “It is finished.” Under the New Covenant: we don’t labor for favor; we live from it.

Paul reminds us:

“Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.” 1 Corinthians 2:12.

The things of God cannot be earned; they can only be received. They are free, but not cheap; costly blood bought them.

Staying low actually allows Him to lift us high. His grace flows in humility, dependence, and childlike trust. It always flows downward to the lowest places. The proud and self-sufficient cut themselves off, but the one who bows low finds rivers of delight and are saturated with His favor.

When we resist striving, His Spirit speaks unparalleled truth to us in ways that toil never could:

“And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.” Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬.‬‬

To walk in the Spirit is to exchange sweat for surrender, anxiety for assurance, and labor for lasting rest.

Hi Friends, I wanted to give you an update. For the past eleven months, I’ve been walking through a pretty difficult season. It’s been a wilderness marked by stretching, pruning, and tears, many times I didn’t always have words express. There were days when silence felt heavy, when prayers felt like groans, and when the of weight to hold on harder than I thought I could bear.

I haven’t shown up as usual, honestly I couldn’t. I didn’t understand what was happening, but I did know I was embroiled in a spiritual battle that was zapping my physical, emotional, and psychological state.

But the Lord!

God is faithful and always there.
In the breaking, He is my strength.
In the pruning, He is my promise.
In my silence, He is still speaking.

I am grateful for everything, especially knowing the hard seasons serve a divine purpose and are holy. Jesus doesn’t allow one drop of suffering, not one tear to be wasted.

These words sing afresh in my heart and I pray they will stir you, especially those walking through a challenging season…

“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬-‭5‬.

Oh friends, there has been a continuous outpouring of the Spirit and His graces. Though, initially it felt like barren, yet in this exact place there has been and continues to be the palpable wonder of God and release of His power.

In the hidden work, the sacred work, there is fresh oil coming from the pressing and new wine that is so sweet it continues to fill my heart with unprecedented joy. I am grateful to the Lord for He has stirred within me deep truths from His word within me and kindled the fire into a flame.

And now, beloved, I sense the shift. What has been forming quietly is beginning to unfold. A new chapter is opening, carrying with it fresh vision, deeper intimacy, and a renewed outpouring.

In a world unraveling in chaos, it is crucial for us as children of God to remember that we are dual citizens: our feet firmly planted in heaven, while we walk as ambassadors of His glory on earth.

The pull of the temporal realm is real, and the enemy would love nothing more than to entangle us in distractions and divide our affections. Yet we are not merely earthly; we are children of the Light, born of the Spirit, and given a heavenly perspective.

That is why it grieves me to see the body of Christ lending influence to the cares of this world, caught up in pursuits that bear no eternal weight. It causes division amongst us and when division creeps into the Church, we risk neglecting the Great Commission and the Gospel entrusted to us. We often forget that we carry a heavenly arsenal for the battles here on earth.

This is a reminder today, if we’re going to be effective for the cause of Christ, we must use His armor, His Word, and His ways to bring change.

This is a truth the Lord has impressed upon me for the past year, and only now do I sense His release to share it. Recently, while walking, I was led to lift up praise and my thoughts turned to the victory that flows from it.

One of the Scriptures anchoring this revelation is woven in my upcoming book:

“Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands.” Psalm 149:6.

The Hebrew for two-edged sword is חֶרֶב פִּיפִיּוֹת (cherev pîpiyyôt), literally “a sword with two mouths”—a weapon sharp on both sides, mirroring the cutting power of God’s Word.

Here, the sword is paired with praise: high praises in the mouth, and a double-edged sword in the hand. Together, they symbolize victory through both worship and the Word, our spiritual arsenal in Christ.

We don’t fight like the world. We’ve been given divine weaponry that thwarts the enemy’s schemes. The question remains: Will we use it?

Chaos has never canceled God’s plan—it sets the stage for revival. If you have breath in your lungs today, then give Him your praise!

Dear Friend,

How are you? I’d love to know.

It’s been a year, hasn’t it? Can you believe there are only 86 days left in 2025? Wild, right?

Friend, the change in seasons can be hard. There was a time I didn’t enjoy Fall. The shorter days felt heavy, and honestly, the lack of light made me feel depressed. At one point in time I was diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder and was on medication to help manage this time of year (and there is nothing wrong with getting help).

Over time God’s love has lifted me again and again, renewing my perspective, opening my eyes to see His hand in all things, and drawing me to treasure His presence as everything 🍂

Now, I wake to the darker mornings with wonder, by breathing in the crisp autumn air, and watch the trees wrap themselves in brilliant color. The slowing down, the turning of creation, the preparation for gatherings; it all whispers that Fall is a season of both abundant harvest, reflection, and gratitude.

And as the days grow cooler and the world turns golden, may your heart be warmed by this unshakable truth: God loves you. His love doesn’t wither like the leaves or fade with the seasons. His love is eternal, steadfast, and unchanging.

Remember these few things…

It is God who draws you🍂
“The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.” Jeremiah‬ ‭31‬:‭3‬.

It is God who gave His Son for you🍂
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬.

It is God who loved you first🍂
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬.

It is God who gives you eternal life🍂
“In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.” I John‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬.‭

Breakthrough isn’t always in the ‘Yes’—
It’s often in obeying God’s ‘No’ and His ‘Not Yet.’

I am finding the journey of faith amazing and fascinating.

We often equate breakthrough with the open door, when prayers are answered, and when things go our way.

But in truth, breakthrough often begins when we heed “His no or His not yet.”

I was reminded of the words of a sister yet again, “All steps are vital” and the small ones often matter most.

You know, the ones that we like to skip, the quiet choices within the heart, the tiny indiscretions that no one sees—these are the little foxes that rob precious firstfruits of faith before they can ripen on the vine.

Friend, obedience may seem like a delay—it’s not. These moments are where the soil of our hearts cultivate patience, trust, and spiritual maturity.

God’s ‘No’ has never been rejection, but about protection and redirection to His best. His ‘Not yet’ is never neglect, but divine preparation.

Friend, the place the Lord is bringing us is spacious, free, limitless, and abundant; and it costs. It cost Him his life ~ it will cost us ours. We cannot carry the Kingdom in our own strength; we must learn the Holy cadence of dependence where every step is in the Spirit.

Surrendering in those moments is not weakness—it’s worship. When we resist our own way and declare “Lord, Your timing is perfect. Your ways are higher. I trust You more than I trust myself,” and follow it with steadfastness, quietness, and reliance, this posture of yielded obedience is often the very breakthrough our hearts need most.

Where might God be asking you to trust His ‘No’ or His ‘Not Yet,’ and what small step of obedience is He calling you to take today? I'd love to stand with you💛.

Beloved, consider sharing this with someone who needs encouragement.

Blessings,
Andrea🫶🏾

It’s Fri-Yeah🎉 let’s close the week out with a little Bible Study: Hebraism.

Friend, have you ever read a phrase in Scripture “God hardened his heart” or “God gave them over” and wondered why God would do such a thing?

This is where Hebraism matters. The Hebrew way of speaking often attributes the outcome to God’s sovereignty, even when people stubbornly chose their own way first. Pharaoh hardened his own heart again and again, until finally God gave him over to what he persistently wanted.

Though we are under the New Covenant, we see in the world around us this very thing unfolding every day. And this doesn’t mean an individual cannot be saved. I firmly believe God gave breath and until the breath in a person is gone they can still whisper His name and receive salvation.

Here’s the thing⟹ why would anyone decide roll the dice and take a chance with eternity? That in and of itself equates to a hard heart!

When humanity continually resists God, there is a point in time where He removes His restraining hand, and people are abandoned to their own desires, and that is a terrible place to be. We read this in the New Testament in Romans chapter One.

📖 “Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity…” (Romans 1:24).

➸ Note: In Romans 1, the phrase “God gave them up” occurs not once, not twice, but three times, each time with intensified consequences.

We are reminded by the writer of Hebrews⭣
📖 “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” (Hebrews 3:15).

I pray that in this hour, hearts will be sensitive to the Spirit’s witness—listening, obeying, and turning fully to Jesus. The time is short; the day of His return draws near. May we be found ready, faithful, and watching for our soon-coming King.

Hey friends,

I want to share a little bit with you today. The last year has been filled with so many challenges, and to even be here, stepping into this new month, is nothing short of a miracle sown through the grace of God.

Last year around this time, I had a modest celebration for my birthday, but what followed was a long season of sickness and struggle. By the time February rolled around, I was on fumes. I’ll share more details in time, but for today I simply want to give the Lord a great praise🙌🏾! Because while that season felt like loss, the LORD was at work; sowing, tilling, and preparing the soil of my heart and life for something I couldn’t yet see or imagine.

I honestly didn’t know if anything could come from such a barren season, until August, when I began to notice the first sprouts breaking through, then September gave way to hope, strength, and renewal. And now, standing here in October, I have an entirely new appreciation for this season, as a month of harvest.

I know God often does His most incredible work in the pain, in the dark, when it feels like nothing is happening. This time, I got to witness first-hand what happens when we are hidden. His hand is steady, His timing sure, and His work unstoppable!

I’ve come to understand more deeply why He created seasons, cycles, and rhythms in creation and how they mirror our spiritual lives:
🌱Spring is for planting seeds in faith.
🪴Summer is for growth, pruning, and testing.
🍂Fall (October!) is for harvest🌾—the seed sown in hiddenness is now bearing fruit.
❄️ Winter is for rest, trust, renewal, and preparation.

This October, I sense the Lord saying: “What I planted in hiddenness, I am now bringing to fruition. This is a season to gather and use what I have been quietly working in your life.”

So today, I want to encourage you: if you’ve been walking through a season of loss, barrenness, or waiting, don’t lose hope! God wastes nothing. The tears you sowed, the prayers you whispered, the faith you clung to in the dark, remember in this moment, He is faithful to bring forth a harvest in due season. 🌾 And the season is now!

Final word of encouragement in Comments👇🏾

I place my trust in You alone. In Jesus’ mighty Name, Amen.

Beloved, which one of these speaks to you most right now? I’d love to know💖

Blessings, Andrea🍁

As the seasons change and the crispness of autumn settles in, let us not grow weary in extending kindness, but rather lean into God’s call with fresh zeal.

October is more than a new month on the calendar; it is a fresh opportunity to align our lives with His purposes.

Each day is a chance to live with eternity in view, to love as Christ loves, and to reflect His heart in every space we enter.

Here are 8 ways to live on mission this October:

🍁Abide in God’s presence — Let His Word and Spirit guide your steps daily; intimacy fuels mission.

🍂Be steadfast in prayer — Intercede for your family, church, and community; prayer is partnership with heaven.

🍁Pursue holiness — Be set apart in speech, thought, and action as a reflection of Christ.

🍂Live ready for His coming — Keep your lamp burning, your heart awake, and your eyes on the Bridegroom who is coming soon.

🍁Live to make heaven crowded — Live with eternity in mind; each soul matters to God. Boldly proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, the only hope of salvation.

🍂Walk in forgiveness — Release offense quickly; grace freely received must be grace freely given.

🍁Show hospitality — Open your home and heart; create spaces where people encounter the love of Christ.

🍂Be the reason people believe in God’s kindness — Let your words and actions point back to His heart.

🍁Scripture Meditation: “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬.‭

🍂

May this October be a month where heaven touches earth through the way we live, love, and serve.

🍁

Abba Father,
I love You. Thank You for the endless kindness You pour out over my life. Jesus, be lifted high and glorified in all that I do, my eyes are fixed on You. As I step into this new month, Holy Spirit, help me walk as a vessel for Your glory. Teach me to yield fully to Your promptings and apply the Word with faith and obedience. May my life be a living testimony of Your goodness and grace. All this I pray in Jesus’ Name, Amen🙏🏾.

Blessings🫶🏾,
Andrea

Let’s Finish The 3rdQ Strong Together🌟

Beloved, can you sense it in the air? The Lord is moving mightily in this hour, and His Spirit is speaking with clarity and power to those who will pause long enough to listen. Heaven is leaning in, and we are being invited to tune our hearts afresh to His whisper, to walk in the abundance of His grace, and to align every thought, every desire, and every step with the very heartbeat of heaven. This is not a casual moment; it is a holy invitation to posture ourselves in surrender and faith.

Let us remember: this journey isn’t about perfection; it’s about posture. Finishing well has never been about checking every single box or meeting every personal standard. Rather, it’s about keeping our gaze locked on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Every quiet step of faith, every unseen surrender, every small and often costly “yes” of obedience carries eternal weight and glory that far outweighs the trials of the present.

As the season shifts and creation reminds us of change moving from the warmth of September 🍂 into the crisp expectancy of October, my spirit stirs with anticipation.

God is not finished writing the story of this year, and He certainly isn’t finished with you or me. The year isn’t over, and if it’s not good, rest assured: God is not done! And if you’ve seen His kindness, breakthroughs, and blessings, rejoice, because He still has more. More to reveal. More to refine. More to unfold in us, through us, and yes, for us.

Beloved, let us not limp into this next season as though defeated. Instead, let us lean in with faith, yield in obedience, and walk with a holy confidence anchored in this truth: He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

Here’s to finishing Q3 strong, not by striving in our own strength, but by resting and relying fully on His.

8 steps:
1. Keep Jesus First
2. Rest Well
3. Steward Wisely
4. Guard Your Peace
5. Stay Rooted
6. Build Community
7. Practice Gratitude
8. Live Generously & Expectantly

Grieve Not & Quench Not

Have you ever thought about the difference between grieving the Spirit and quenching the Spirit?

We often speak of grieving the Spirit, but not enough about quenching Him. Quenching happens when we limit what God desires to do, boxing Him in with our preferences, traditions, or comfort.

When we live with small expectations, we end up believing for less than what He is able to do. Limited expectations shrink faith and dull hunger, keeping us content with the familiar instead of pressing into the fullness the Spirit longs to release.

Grieving the Spirit happens when we sadden Him through disobedience and indulging the flesh. It’s relational—breaking fellowship, wounding the love bond we have with God by living contrary to His holiness.

Quenching the Spirit is different. To quench means to extinguish or stifle, like putting out a fire. Paul warns against resisting or suppressing the Spirit’s activity. This isn’t just about personal sin; it’s also about life in the body of Christ. We quench the Spirit when we:

🥀 Refuse to yield to His promptings.
🙉 Dismiss or despise prophetic words.
🛋️ Put preferences, traditions, or comfort ahead of God’s leading.
🧠 Limit God to our reasoning instead of walking by faith.

Both grieving and quenching are serious and often subtle. Quenching can be harder to notice, wrapped in control: our attempts to manage what only God can do, reducing His limitless power to categories we find comfortable. It’s saying with our actions: “Lord, You can move, but only up to here.”

Grieving hurts the Spirit’s heart; quenching hinders His work. One breaks intimacy, the other blocks power.

But the Spirit’s fire was never meant to be contained. He is the flame of God within us and among us, and when we quench Him, we rob ourselves and others of His fullness.

Where might you be limiting Him today?
Let’s walk in surrender, faith, and expectancy, welcoming the Spirit without measure.

Beloved, have you fallen for Jesus? I have🙋🏾‍♀️. I was lost, but was found… and in Him, “I found him whom my soul loves.” Song of Songs 3:4.

Each day with Him is an adventure, sometimes tender, sometimes stretching, but always deeply rewarding.

Friend, when we fall for Jesus, it isn’t like falling into uncertainty; it’s falling into the safest arms we’ll ever know. His love steadies us, lifts us, and fills our lives with a joy this world cannot take away, a peace that surpasses understanding, and a romance that is eternal.

Falling for Him isn’t about perfection; it’s presence. Day by day, moment by moment, His love draws us deeper into a sacred union with Him.

And what does falling for Jesus look like? It’s choosing Him again and again:
Love Him because He first loved us.
Sit with Him because in His presence there is the fullness of joy and enjoying His countenance brings rest and peace.
Listen to Him allowing His voice quiet every other voice and silence every lie.
Praise Him because He is worthy of honor and adoration.
Talk to Him knowing prayer is honest conversation with the One who cares.
Serve Him letting His love flow through your heart and hands.
Follow Him, trusting Him to lead, especially when the path is unknown.

Hello 👋🏾 TheOneThing1 family🤗,

Today is a special day where I get to uplift my sister in Christ, Dr. Shenica Nelson.

Help me celebrate the delivery of her book baby, HomeFirst: Finding Balance, Embracing Ease, and Living a Christ-Centered Life!

This beautiful work is more than just pages and print, it’s a heartfelt invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to what matters most: Jesus at the center, with home flowing from that place of rest.

@drshenica gently reminds us that balance isn’t about striving harder, but about learning to live in God’s rhythm of grace. HomeFirst speaks to every woman who wears many hats and longs to walk in her inheritance in Christ: wholeness, holiness, righteousness, truth, peace, love, joy, and so much more.

Let’s celebrate this release together and cheer Dr. Shenica on! ✨

As you reflect on your own season, I’d love to hear:
Where is the Lord inviting you to slow down and realign with Him ✞ ?

Let’s lift her up in prayer and bless this message to reach many hearts and homes. 💗

Lord, help us to put You first in all things, and from that place, let our homes and lives overflow with Your presence and peace. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

“But a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30.

What does “home 🏡 first” mean to you right now?

Beloved, we are living in days where the pull of culture is strong, so strong that even the Church is tempted to lay down her God-given sword, the Word of Truth, and pick up the counterfeit blades of compromise.

It grieves me to say, often we fall on the sword of culture, where tolerance is exalted above truth, acceptance is chosen over holiness, and relevance is pursued at the cost of the Gospel. Yet the Word reminds us:

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬.‭

We don’t win people for Christ being like the world. We win people for Christ standing firm in Him.

The persecuted Church, stripped of every earthly advantage, has not forgotten this. They do not clench fists, protest, grasp for worldly power.

They pray. They love. They stand firm. Their testimony is costly, but it is pure. Their agenda is not survival: it is salvation.

Meanwhile, here in the West, comfort often dulls conviction. We risk trading the eternal for the temporary, thinking cultural validation equals Kingdom fruit.

But hear this: Christ doesn’t legislate morality; He transforms it. Hearts made new by His Spirit are what shift individual and families, nations, and destinies.

Friend, the world is dark but we have the very Light of Christ burning within us. It is not our place to contend for cause, but to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3).

This post is not to condemn but to call us to remain higher, not come down from the work of the Lord. And to remind us that we are not of this world. To urge us to lay hold of the Sword of the Spirit and resist the urge to wield culture’s weapons.

⚔️ May we not be a Church pierced by compromise, but a Church ablaze with conviction.
🔥 May the Light within us permeate the darkness around us.

📖 I invite you to read the full post, Follow Jesus The Messiah: A Page From the Persecuted Church, (link in bio). Let it search you. Let it stir you. Let it point you back to Jesus: the only One worthy of our allegiance.

Until next time, keep the faith.
Blessings!
Andrea🫶🏾

Friend, have we forgotten? Salvation is not just about being rescued from sin: it’s about being reborn into an entirely new kind of life.

Paul told the Corinthians they were still living as “mere men” (1 Cor. 3:3). Delivered, yes—but not walking in freedom. Surrounded by promise, but never tasting its reality.

How many of us fall into that same trap?

It is possible to live in the midst of deliverance and never walk it out. To excuse ourselves with the phrase, “I’m only human.”

But here’s the truth: in Christ, you are not merely human anymore. You are a καινὴ κτίσις (kainē ktisis)—a new creation.

✦ καινὴ (kainē): new in kind, unprecedented, never seen before.
✦ κτίσις (ktisis): a radical act of creation, something entirely fresh.

Not a polished-up version of yourself. Not a spiritual rebrand. Entirely new. Entirely transformed.

Jesus bore our frailty so we could be clothed in His strength. He broke the mold of Adam and rose as the blueprint of a new humanity. And now His Spirit lives in us, flowing like rivers of living water (John 7:38).

This is not about perfection. It’s about surrender—moment by moment choosing to walk in the Spirit and shine the light of Christ in a world that desperately needs Him.

Beloved, everything has changed. Don’t bury the treasure. Don’t dim the light. Live as the new creation you are in Christ.

Consider ⭢ What parts of my life are still shaped by the old story, instead of the new creation I am in Christ?

Read the full post, More Than Human: Discovering the Truth of Being a New Creation in Christ, link in bio 👆🏾.

Let’s dive deep into the Word, pray with conviction, study with hunger, and embrace the promptings that call us higher, so we may walk fully in the reality of who we are in Christ.

Comparison is not harmless, it’s deadly🥀.

It robs us of love, poisons joy, disrupts peace, and blinds us to the presence of God. What seems small… a passing thought, a lingering glance at someone else’s portion, can quickly become a seed of covetousness, fueled by jealousy and envy, that allows bitterness to take root in our hearts if left unchecked.

Scripture gives us warning after warning:
• Cain & Abel → envy corrupted worship and led to murder (Gen. 4:7-8).
• Saul & David → jealousy stole peace and poisoned relationships (1 Sam. 18:7-8).
• Rachel & Leah → comparison made blessings bitter and homes divided (Gen. 30).
• Israel & manna → they despised God’s provision and craved Egypt’s scraps (Num. 11:5-6).
• Peter & John → Jesus had to cut through the distraction: “What is that to you? You follow Me.” (John 21:21-22).

Each story carries the same truth: comparison blinds us to the abundance already in our hands. It lures us into scarcity thinking, when in Christ, we lack nothing.

Here’s the deeper reality to discover: God made us with appetite. Though humanity has fallen, our appetite wasn’t removed. Desire itself is not sin—it is a gift. The problem comes when desire is misdirected. Apart from Jesus, appetite twists into envy, lust, or greed. But in Christ, our longings are reoriented and fulfilled in the One who truly satisfies. He alone takes the ache of emptiness and fills it with Himself.

Beloved, I have wrestled here too. I’ve lived under the fear of missing out, sought the fleeting praise of men, and carried the ache of feeling less than and unloved. I know what it feels like to compare calling, gifting, or even daily life and come up short. Yet again and again, the Lord whispers to my heart: I have not hemmed you in by lack. You are in the wide open space of My love, where My presence always with you and provision never runs dry.

Beloved, every battle you face carries a hidden gift. The spoils are not earned by your striving, but by your standing. They are gathered not by the strength of your hand, but by the faithfulness of His.

David refused Saul’s heavy armor for it was man’s weight, not God’s way. Instead, he trusted the sling already in his grasp, a weapon made powerful only because the Lord was with him. Victory was not in stone or sling, but in the hand of the God of Israel.

Eleazar fought until his hand grew weary, yet he clung to his sword so tightly that it fused with his flesh. And Scripture says, “The Lord brought about a great victory that day.” (2 Sam. 23:10). Do you see it, beloved? The picture of a heart so bound to the Word that it cannot be separated.

The Sword of the Spirit is no earthly steel. It is living fire, heaven’s breath in written form, placed into our hands by grace. This sword does not rust nor dull, it pierces darkness, slays deception, and breaks chains that no earthly power can shatter.

When Jesus was in the wilderness, He did not reason with the enemy. He unsheathed the Sword, again and again declaring, “It is written…” And the accuser fled.

So it is with us. The battle is not ours, but God’s. Yet our call is to cling, to believe, to speak, to wield His Word until it becomes one with us. When the Word cleaves to your heart, your hand, and your mouth, you will not merely endure—you will overcome!

Do not despise the battle, beloved. For it is the very soil where the spoils are sown. Every trial is ground for triumph. Every clash is an altar where glory is revealed.

✦ Hold the Word.
✦ Let it hold you.
✦ And watch the Lord fight for you.

“So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah 59:19.

Read my latest post, link in the bio👆🏾. Meet me in the comments and let’s pray🙏🏾

Have you ever believed the whisper that your history puts you beyond God’s purpose? I did.

💔 The Lie: My past disqualifies me from being used by God.
✨ The Truth: God redeems my journey within His story.

For years, shame wrapped itself around me like chains. I carried labels: failure, unworthy, disqualified—until they became the soundtrack of my life. I spiraled through anorexia, bulimia, self-harm, and depression, sinking deeper into the belief that I was too broken for God to love, too damaged for Him to use.

At my lowest, I weighed just 86 lbs. My body was frail, my mind clouded, my spirit barely holding on. I couldn’t imagine how a holy God could see me and still call me His own. Yet, it was there, in the pit of my brokenness, that Jesus met me. Not with anger. Not with rejection. But with kindness that led me to repentance (Romans 2:4). With mercy that lifted my head. With grace that wrapped me in His righteousness (Ephesians 6:14).

What I thought was the end became the beginning of redemption. The very ashes of my story became the canvas for His glory. And friend, He can do the same for you.

Beloved, your past does not disqualify you; it qualifies you for grace🙌🏾.

Think of Abraham who lied, Rahab who was a prostitute, David who failed, Peter who denied, Paul who persecuted… Yet each of them was woven into God’s redemptive plan. Their scars didn’t cancel their calling; they magnified His mercy.

❤️‍🩹 Your scars are not wasted.
❤️‍🩹 Your history is held in holy hands.
❤️‍🩹 Your testimony is living proof that our Redeemer lives.

The enemy wants to chain you to your past, but Jesus wants to free you into your future. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17). You are not defined by what you’ve done, you are defined by what Christ has done for you.

So if you’ve ever wondered whether God can redeem the pages of your past, this word is for you. He doesn’t waste pain, He doesn’t waste tears, and He doesn’t waste stories.

What part of your journey do you need to re-surrender to Him today?

Have you ever paused to consider the mystery that the God of glory, the One who filled the tabernacle with cloud and fire (Exodus 40:34-35) now chooses to make His home within you?

I think about being the Lord’s temple, His very dwelling place, and I am undone. The wonder overwhelms me. The God of all creation no longer resides in buildings made with human hands but in us. Through Jesus Christ, we are now His sanctuary, His resting place, His chosen house of glory.

This truth reshapes how we walk, how we live, and how we possess the land He has given us. Because if we are His temple, then we are also His treasured possession.

It is a mystery: “Christ in us, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). Yet it is also our real-time reality, God Himself dwelling within His people.

The fullness of Him rests inside us, and yet we often live unaware of the magnitude of this promise. We forget that heaven’s King has chosen us as His residence. But beloved, this is not something to take lightly. It changes everything.

“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16)

“You also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:22)

To live as His temple is not just a truth to know—it is a call to surrender, to holiness, and to intimacy with the One who has made His home in us. And yet, we are not left to figure this out alone. The Spirit leads us, revealing the Father’s heart and forming us into the likeness of Christ.

So pause today and let this truth soak into you and cover you this week: you are not ordinary. You are the dwelling place of God.

There’s so much more to uncover about this mystery. Read the full post, The Dwelling Place of God: We Are His Temple, Link in bio 👆🏾.

Have you ever whispered, “I’ve done everything right, and yet nothing is working”?

We’re taught to pray, serve, give, declare, fast—and we should. But sometimes our hearts twist these holy rhythms into a formula: If I do X, God will do Y. And when life doesn’t fit that equation, frustration creeps in.

Friend, God is not a vending machine. He’s not a reward system. He’s a Father who is the reward. When we trade intimacy for performance, obedience becomes pressure, worship becomes leverage, and we end up exhausted—expecting a return He never promised apart from Himself.

The elder brother in Luke 15 had perfect service but distant fellowship. He lived in the Father’s house yet missed the joy of the Father’s heart. His words revealed the ache of a faith without intimacy: “I’ve served you… yet you never gave me…”

Jesus’ invitation is different: “Abide in Me, and I in you” (John 15:4). Abiding isn’t working harder; it’s resting deeper. It’s the daily awareness that we are already loved, already chosen, already His.

What if the peace you’re after isn’t waiting on the other side of answered prayer, but right here, in the midst, found in dwelling with the Lover of your soul? What if your breakthrough isn’t in the formula, but in enjoying His presence?

This week, shift from formula to fellowship:
✨ Begin your prayers with gratitude for who God is, not just what He can do.
✨ Spend time in His Word to know His heart, not just to find answers.
✨ Sit in silence with Him, no agenda, just enjoy His presence.

💬 I’d love to hear from you—Have you ever caught yourself slipping into “formula faith”? How has God drawn you back into fellowship? Share below so we can grow together.

Let's 🙏🏾 join me in the commentd👇🏾

Have you ever considered that what you name—you also frame?

We often label things to make sense of them, but if we’re not discerning, those labels can become spiritual limits. What we call a thing affects how we relate to it. And sometimes, those names aren’t rooted in truth—they’re rooted in fear, frustration, or past wounds.

But here’s the good news: you were never created to echo fear. You were created to echo heaven. ✨

Your words carry breath, and breath carries power. Your mouth is more than a muscle—it’s a gate. A legal instrument. The place where you give consent and legislate authority in the unseen realm.

Remember Adam? He named what God brought before him—and heaven honored it. (Genesis 2:19)
And the same is true for us. We’ve been given spiritual authority to call things in alignment with God’s Word.

📖 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” (Proverbs 18:21)
📖 “Where the word of a king is, there is power.” (Ecclesiastes 8:4)

Let this sink in: One of the greatest hindrances to God’s movement in our lives isn’t what we’re doing—it’s what we’re saying.

God’s Word is not just poetic—it’s performative.
So why speak anything else?

Let your mouth become an echo of eternity.
Let your speech align with what’s already settled in heaven.

🗝 Final Word: Heaven and hell both wait to hear what you will say. Your words are not casual. They are contracts.

👇🏾Pause + Reflect:
What labels have you spoken over yourself or others?
Is your mouth in agreement with God or with your fears?

✨ Want to go deeper?

🧣Wearing Testimony in August🧡

It may seem funny to wear a scarf in the heat of August… But some things are worth wrapping yourself in no matter the season.
Especially when it carries the weight of a story, the warmth of a journey, and the hope of redemption.

This beautiful hand-knit orange scarf was lovingly crafted by my dear sister Lauren McNeese—writer, creative, and soon-to-be published author of her memoir The Orange Scarf 📖✨

Lauren’s story is one of courage, healing, and grace woven one stitch at a time through pain, much like the scarf itself each thread a testimony.

As I wear this vibrant piece, I’m reminded of Isaiah 61:3, that our God gives us “Beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.”

Honestly, it couldn’t have come at a better time as I emerge from a difficult season. This scarf is more than fashion statement, it is
a thread of hope and a garment of praise.

You can join me in supporting the upcoming launch of Lauren’s book baby by requesting her to make you a scarf of your very own and saving the date to order her book, The Orange Scarf🧣, set to release on September 13, 2025!

Every purchase is a step toward lifting her voice and honoring the healing journey so many of us quietly walk through.

Head over to @laurenmcneese_writer to learn more, and follow along as her testimony unfolds.

Lauren, thank you for the gift of this scarf and for the willingness to share your journey!

May your words wrap others in the warmth of knowing they are seen, known, and never beyond the reach of redemption🧡. May our Lord Jesus be greatly praised🙌🏾

Drop a 🧣 to support and encourage Lauren’s journey, and a 🧡 along with a comment sharing how God is transforming your life this season. Let’s testify together of the Lord’s kindness✨ Don't forget to say 📣 “AMEN”

Have you ever paused to consider the permanence of your forgiveness in Christ?

Not just a one-time pardon, but a perfect, ongoing reality, secured by grace, sealed by blood, and sustained by His name.

The word for this week is a weighty one that demands a response.

📖 “I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven for His name’s sake.” 1 John 2:12.

The Greek word used here—ἀφέωνται (perfect passive)—means the work is already done… and its effects still ongoing. ✨ Forgiven. Fully. Forever. Isn’t that beautiful? I am undone by this revelation.

For years, I lived like I had to do penance. I thought I had to earn God’s love. My relationship with Jesus was transactional—trying to behave my way into His favor.

But the truth broke through my striving. The Gospel of His grace shattered the lie. And I saw the truth: 💥 His love isn’t based on my performance. It’s anchored in His person. He forgives freely.

Friends here is the thing: The grace of God doesn’t give license to sin—His forgiveness stirs awe and His Spirit empowers us to live in reverence of and obedience to Him.

And when we experience the depth of His forgiveness, we don’t run from God, we don’t rest in our own strength, instead, we run to Him with radical love and live deep surrender.

So why are we so afraid to preach the full Gospel without terms and conditions? Why do we keep qualifying what God has already said?

Today:
Let’s stop adding fine print to grace.
Let it land where it may trusting God knows what to do with the hearts that hear it.

🪞Reflection:
Have you been living forgiven or still trying to earn what Christ already gave?
♢
In what ways might you be limiting God’s Word by adding your own conditions in an attempt to control the outcome?

🖊 I’m diving deeper into this in my latest devotional: 👉🏾 “Perfect Grace, Permanent Forgiveness”

Tap the link in my bio to read the full post and rest in the freedom already yours.

How are you walking in God’s abundant forgiveness today? I’d love to know, drop a word in the comments👇🏾

What if the greatest spiritual danger isn’t disbelief, but delay?

The enemy rarely roars, “God isn’t real.”
More often, he whispers, “You’ve got time.”

It’s the subtle lullaby of spiritual procrastination.

“Later,” it says. “Eventually. Someday.”
But the Word of God cuts through the haze:

“For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭2‬.

We’re not promised tomorrow. To delay is not neutral—it’s rebellion in disguise. Every “not yet” to the Spirit is a quiet refusal of grace.

“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” Hebrews 3:15.

Jesus isn’t offering religion.
He’s offering Himself, right now.
Healing, forgiveness, identity, purpose this is the gift of today.

“Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.” Isaiah 55:6

The signs are all around us. All eyes are on Israel. Truth is mocked. We’re not waiting for the end times; we’re living in them.

But the mercy of God still calls out: “But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭

This isn’t fear-mongering—it’s Gospel urgency. Jesus is coming. Grace is available, now. But the door of mercy won’t stay open forever.

So here’s the question:
What’s stopping you from surrendering now?

⏳ Don’t delay.

Have you ever believed the lie that you needed to clean yourself up before coming to God?

In my latest blog post, You Don’t Wash Before the Bath: The Scandalous Grace of Jesus, we are exposing this lie. Here’s⤵️ a preview🫣

🛁 The Gospel Isn’t for the Clean—It’s for the Dirty. You don’t wash before the bath.

And you don’t purify yourself before coming to Jesus. That’s not the Gospel—that’s works wrapped in self-righteousness.

Truth bomb:
📖 “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8

Jesus didn’t wait for us to get it together.
He moved toward us in the mess, not after it.

Consider the woman caught in adultery that stood guilty. And yet, Jesus, the only one with the right to condemn chose mercy.

📖 “Neither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more.” — John 8:11

Grace first. Then transformation.

Friend, we’ve all missed the mark.
📖 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23

And if we could make ourselves holy, there’d be no need for the Cross✝️. But we couldn’t—so Jesus came.

📖 “For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” — 2 Corinthians 5:21

Jesus doesn’t save the made up, polished version of us. He saves the broken, desperate, doubting version of us. The one crying out, “Help me, Lord.”

The sinless Lamb of God bore our sins, paid our debt, and offered us what we could never earn: grace, forgiveness, and sonship. We have been set free from a debt we could never repay.

So if you’re stuck thinking, “I’ll come to God once I clean up…”

Let that lie die at the foot of the Cross.
Because the work is finished!

🩸 The blood of Jesus is the bath.
💥 The grace of Jesus is the invitation.
🙌🏾 The forgiveness of Jesus is available.
🕊 And the power of Jesus will transform your life.

Come as you are. You won’t leave the same!

For years, I didn’t partake in the Holy Communion and I suffered. Why? Because I was told I had to be walking a certain way or risk judgment. So I withheld myself from the very meal meant to bless me.

Friend, Jesus never said, “Do this in remembrance of you” He said, “Do this in remembrance of Me.” (1 Cor. 11:24)

As believers we have right-standing with God because of the blood of Jesus, 💁🏾‍♀️which is why we partake.

“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬.

𖧷‭

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬.

𖧷The Lord’s Supper isn’t about your perfection—it’s about His finished work.
𖧷It’s not a reminder of your sin.
𖧷It’s a declaration of your healing, your wholeness, your inheritance in Christ.

Here is the thing ➡️ The Bread and the Cup are not the same—Paul said, many are sick, weak, and die early because they haven’t discerned the Body. (1 Cor. 11:29–30). This isn’t because they are unworthy just unaware.

The Communion is not religious routine; it’s a revelation of Jesus. It’s an offensive act of spiritual warfare—We are storming the gates of hell declaring healing and liberation!

When you eat the Bread, you remember His body broken so yours can be made whole.

When you drink the Cup, you proclaim your freedom through His blood.

This table is set in the presence of your enemies (Ps. 23:5), and you don’t come empty—you come hungry.

🕊 The early church broke bread from house to house.
🔥 The two on the road to Emmaus recognized Jesus when they partook.
💥 A Canaanite woman saw her daughter delivered by a crumb.

So imagine what happens when you partake with revelation.

Let’s stop letting fear and false teachings keep us from the feast. Partake worthily not by looking at yourself, but by fixing your eyes on the One who finished it all.

Remember, you are in Christ. You are seated at the table and you are blessed!

Who does God help?

“For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the seed of Abraham.”—Hebrews 2:16 (LSB)
⠀
Pause and reflect 🤔 on that: God didn’t extend help to fallen angels. But He helps us. It's pretty incredible.
⠀
👑 Jesus didn’t come to save angels—He came for us. Those who believe in Him, who trust in the finished work of the Cross, are called the seed of Abraham—the children of promise.

We peer into the cosmic battle of the ages in my latest blog post, Help Is Here: Receiving the Rescue Reserved for the Redeemed. (Link in bio).

⠀
Here’s a sobering truth:
Help can be present and still not received. Deliverance can be available and yet refused.
⠀
📌Salvation is a gift—but it requires our yes.
📌The Holy Spirit is our Helper—but He desires our yielded heart.
⠀
You can have access to everything and still live like you’re spiritually bankrupt. It’s like having millions in the bank but choosing to live like a pauper.
⠀
God sets a table for us in the presence of our enemies (Ps. 23:5). But He won’t force us to eat.

A stunning reality is from the very beginning that God works the miraculous in the midst of adversity.
⠀
⬇️

💡Here’s the beauty: Even after chaos entered the world (Gen. 1:2), God still moved forward with His plan. Right in the enemy’s domain, He brought forth light, life, and order.
⠀

➡️ That’s what He’s still doing through Christ.
He helps the redeemed.
He helps those who trust.
He helps those who believe.
⠀
“For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ… and if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.” Gal. 3:27–29.
⠀
Friend, the adversity 🔥 that has come your way, is the very place the Lord is doing a profound work and not solely in you but through you, so those connected to you can experience deliverance.

📣 So be encouraged today:
You are blood-bought.
You are Spirit-filled.
You are covenant-carrying.
You are helped!
⠀
Rest in His promise.
Walk in His grace.

⠀
✝️ “God is good and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Heb. 11:6)

Meditate on this word, read the full post for more understanding, and be blessed.

Let’s be real—following Jesus isn’t always easy. But you know what makes it harder? Choosing comfort over calling. Settling for less forfeits His best—not because God hasn’t provided, but because fear, impatience, and weariness cloud our trust.

I’ve been there. Maybe you have too.

When we settle:
• We trade peace for temporary relief.
• We confuse comfort with God’s presence.
• We fear His timing is too late.
• We crave outcomes over intimacy.
• We compare our process to others’ highlights.
• We doubt our worthiness of His best.
• We shrink back instead of surrendering fully.

But friend—what are we missing when we settle?

💛 The fullness of His presence.
💛 The beauty of co-laboring with Christ.
💛 The refining of our character.
💛 The generational fruit of obedience.
💛 The testimony of His faithfulness!

Abraham & Sarah remind us: even in missteps, God’s promise remains. Ishmael was born out of haste, but Isaac came by His hand, His timing, His way. Their failures are not the final word—His faithfulness is.

And the same is true for you. 🙌🏾

The enemy fights hard to keep us settling because of what we lose. But beloved—what might shift if you fully surrendered today? What could God birth on the other side of obedience?

📖 Journal with me:
• Where am I tempted to settle?
• What “counterfeits” have I chosen?
• How does Abraham & Sarah’s story encourage me?
• What truth of God’s character do I need to hold?
• What would full surrender look like right now?

🔥 Ready to press into His best?
Drop a “YES LORD” if your heart is leaning toward surrender!

Read the full post, study the Scriptures (Romans 4, Hebrews 6), and journal through His invitation to trust again. Link in bio ⬆️ Download’s in the UpperRoom Chat💁🏾‍♀️.
