Saturday Devotionals

God is always speaking. Are we listening?

The best time to receive from God is when we’ve made an intention of doing so. This requires a deliberate effort to shush all external stimuli and set our hearts and minds to accept all of who God is and all of how He wants to reveal Himself to us at any given moment. No elaborate presentations are required here. Just a humble expectation.

Psalm 134:34

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.

  • It Wasn't An Apple

    Saturday 12/31/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a warning on the last Saturday of the year, to steer yourself clear of this tangled bondage of deception floating around. Everything isn’t always what it seems and in this particular case, what you think is one thing, will in fact not be. You have been or will be presented with something that appears good but it won’t be. That will appear righteous but it won’t be. Whatever opportunity or solicitation that does not have a budget for your wisdom, discernment, and patience, will almost always come with an expense far heftier than you can afford. All over the world people have been made to believe that the first man was deceived by the enemy and fell after partaking of an apple—it wasn’t an apple. Needless to say, stay under the strong influence of God to abide in truth because ripe is the season of deception.

    2 THESSALONIANS 2:9-12 - The Anarchist’s coming is all Satan’s work. All his power and signs and miracles are fake, evil sleight of hand that plays to the gallery of those who hate the truth that could save them. And since they’re so obsessed with evil, God rubs their noses in it—gives them what they want. Since they refuse to trust truth, they’re banished to their chosen world of lies and illusions.

  • A Time to Embrace

    Saturday 12/24/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to inform you that every season will come with pockets of ambiguity and uncertainty. Some seasons may have more than others. Nonetheless, you are approaching one where there will be many. This should not be a cause for concern though.. We are not omniscient as God is therefore we will never know everything there is to know about everything. All we can do is take it one step at a time and be willing to accept or deny what is to come. If we knew everything, our lives would be dull and lacking fulfillment. Consider this, if you chose to live a braced life, you would find yourself experiencing low grades of peace and joy, and furthermore lacking wisdom. It’s because in moments of uncertainty, we learn more about ourselves, and ultimately more about God. What a blessing it truly is to embrace the unknown. It is now a time to embrace and not a time to refrain from embracing. Seek God in this time as you navigate the hills and valleys.

    PSALM 23:5- Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

  • Ornaments

    Saturday 12/17/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to encourage you to honor every achievement no matter how small or large and even the lessons you’ve learned this season. These will serve as your ornaments for the next season. Hang them up and be proud of them. These are yours to celebrate and to cherish for yourself. Even if you feel like you accomplished little to nothing, the fact that you were able to make it through various waves of events and situations, wrestlings and encounters, yet still remained steadfast— is a true testament of the faithfulness of God and your perseverance. Believe it or not ,these ornaments will have an uncanny way of shining brightly for you in moments where God’s faithfulness to fulfill and his goodness seems afar and ever reaching. Extol God in this hour and build an altar of worship here. Right here. Rejoice and be glad in God’s faithfulness.

    ISAIAH 61:10 -I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

  • Hidden Things

    Saturday 12/10/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to present you with some understanding on a matter that has accompanied unrest and maybe even turmoil in your soul. You’ve been seeking resolutions within places and spaces that you deem will be activated to fall into your lap. Things just don’t happen or occur. Everything has a cause and effect. Think about every event that has resulted in where you are and what you’re faced with at present. Something had to transpire prior, and then something preceded that and so on. Moral of it all, the idea of simply manifesting anything without some form of intentional deliberation and proaction is losing its luster—real time. God is saying, “Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be opened to you.” Link up with Holy Spirit and you will discover that hidden things don’t remain hidden forever. Some resolutions require growth and others require shedding. But all will require your active participation over passive pining.

    PROVERBS 25:2-It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.

  • Trumpet

    Saturday 12/3/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to inform you that you must recognize your personal responsibility as a child of God as well as the tools you have been given to fulfill what He has designed you to carry out. Every individual has been engrafted with unique abilities which then dictates the type of assignment(s) he or she has been tasked to. Then there is one instrument we all have in common; Our Trumpets. This is our voice. And no matter what has transpired over the years to silence it, it remains. Your voice has been registered to speak truth to power. And you mustn’t lay aside your duties by muting your voice with apathy. The time is now! It’s time to raise your trumpet. You have something to say. Because God has something to say. Cater your prayers to yield to His state of the art uploads and downloads. There is a multitude tuned to hear Him and are postured and primed to receive from those willing to raise up their trumpets. In the end ,souls are at stake.

    EZEKIAL 3:18- If I say to the wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him—you don’t speak out to warn him about his wicked way in order to save his life—that wicked person will die for his iniquity. Yet I will hold you responsible for his blood.

  • Class is in Session

    Saturday 11/26/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to make you aware that most times you won’t know that you’re in class until the bell rings letting you know that class is dismissed. And sometimes you won’t know you’ve taken a test until after you’ve left the classroom. This is just how life is set up. A series of lessons and tests. A lot of the things we pray for requires on the job training. The more sober and alert you are the better chances of you passing with flying colors. And better chances at avoiding retests (repeating classes). You can still pass with a few hiccups along the way. It’s when we blow through life’s lessons thinking we know it all, or worse when we go into a test completely unprepared. Furthermore you can gorge yourself on so much knowledge and revelation but draw a blank during test time—because it was never actually practiced/lived out. Link up with the Teacher asap to ensure that you’re picking up on all the lessons applicable to your next semester, so that you are an attentive, aware, and excellent student of life in faith. You’ve received this notification, keep it as a footnote on each page of your days: Class is in session.

    2 TIMOTHY 2:15-Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

  • Packaging

    Saturday 11/19/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to.request you to reflect on the prayers you’ve rendered, past and present. You know the saying, “Be careful what you pray for, because you just might get it,”? Tis is often true and speaks to our level of preparedness for the very things we solicit. Ponder this, have you ever received something in the mail with weird packaging or in a box that was much bigger than the contents inside? What did you do with it? Did you discard the item inside? No! Because you ordered it and your name was on it. This same logic can be applied to the delivery of our prayers, but in a lot of cases it is not applied. We quickly reject the very things we prayed for because it didn’t come in the packaging or even arrived in the delivery method we were expecting. You are not being instructed to accept every package that comes to your doorstep. You are however, being directed to examine the heart of the contents before prematurely concluding it’s not an answered prayer. Link up with God in these matters and attach to your prayers and petitions a request for receipts of confirmation so you can discern when something shows up as a ram in the bush or a dove carrying an olive branch..

    GENESIS 22:13a  Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns.

    GENESIS 8 8:11-This time the dove returned to him in the evening with a fresh olive leaf in its beak. Then Noah knew that the floodwaters were almost gone.

  • Burned

    Saturday 11/12/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to bring to your attention that you are one of God’s precious raw materials that must go through a season of burning from time to time to rid out impurities. If you have just exited a situation where you feel like you were burned, be angry but sin not. And then count it all joy! Focus on what was preserved and not what was extracted. What’s next you ask? Polishing, dusting, and coating. It’s time to polish and dust off any residue of past afflictions and add a coating of sanctification that will give you a pristine glow. Understand that everything is ordained. You need to do nothing at this time but be still and know that you are a part of His master plan.

    PSALM 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

  • Re-Center

    Saturday 11/5/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to shed light on the fact that no accomplishment, breakthrough, or relationship will take the place of you being in the center of God’s will for your life. However, it’s actually normal in a sense from time to time to experience this; veering that is. Still, as the last piece of congratulatory confetti hits the ground during a monumental moment, will there be a longing stirred—caused by the absence of your central placement within the nurturing confines of God’s presence. There will always come a chilly draft. Everything in your life can seemingly be going well, but you’ll always still feel like there is a gap somewhere. Let today be the day you no longer overlook this gap being exposed. You are challenged here to cater your prayers as such, “God re-center me.” And just as simple as it is pressing the screen of your smartphone on the GPS app to hit re-center in order to get a better view of the map and where you are, will God do the same by pressing on your heart so that He may have a better view you and you may have a better view of Him.

    JEREMIAH 29:13-You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

  • Blank Canvas

    Saturday 10/29/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to make you aware that it is in most cases often easy for you to say what you should have, could have, or would have done, had you known what you know now. Discontinue placing these types of undue indictments against yourself. This is the first life you’ve ever lived. You never saw those days coming. You’ve never seen today before. And you’ll never see another day like tomorrow. Every day is a blank canvas. Every moment can be likened to on the job training. Yesteryear, you made the decisions you made with the material you had. More experiences will contribute to more mediums you can use for tomorrow. They won’t take away from today nor can they take away from the day after. Take comfort in these things and know that we are all but a brush stroke away from the grave. So fretting over past tense areas of your mural are futile. Seek God in this hour to help you find resolve in the parts of His masterpiece that you don’t consider art.

    EPHESIANS 2:10- For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

  • Responsibilities

    Saturday 10/22/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to alert you that you have been shirking your responsibilities. Were you not advised earlier this year that to whom much is given, much will be required? Your life as a vessel for Christ will never be solely your own. You have divine orders to fulfill. So you were granted a level of leadership and authority that you have been refusing to walk in due to either apathy, the fear of man, or comfort. No amount of petitions or prayers will shoo away what you’ve been called to do. God will not receive them. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Stop trying to be a simple civilian and assume your position. It is time. You’ve been given access to assess the need. You’ve been given visibility to discern the problem. Now—your obedience is the answer.

    2 TIMOTHY 2:4-No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of [civilian] life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him.

  • Naked

    Saturday 10/15/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to first ask you some questions. When’s the last time you made a mistake? Doesn’t matter if it were small or not so small. Still, when was the last time you made one? What was your immediate response? Did you beat yourself up? Or just shrugged it off? Were you able to rectify it or did you have to count it as a loss? Did the mistake involve others? Were you the only one affected or were there multiple individuals impacted as well? At the onset, mistakes are never really welcomed. Some are less glamorous than others. Some are even irredeemable/irreversible. Yet in either case, a little friend always seems to come along for the ride—SHAME. Shame comes with handcuffs and muzzles for souvenirs. Shame comes with a remote that keeps the mistake fresh and on a continuous loop to torment and chide. A mistake can have graduated and headed off to college, shame will be right there to remind you that it is not going anywhere. Here is the good news for you, God knows every mistake you’ve made. If you would get naked before Him, His grace will evict shame immediately. A time has come for you to remove the fig leaves from your private parts. The invitation to do so through covenant is nigh.

    ISAIAH 54:4-Fear not; you will no longer live in shame. The shame of your youth and the sorrows of widowhood will be remembered no more…

  • Jealousy

    Saturday 10/8/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to point out how futile being jealous of another person is. Consider that everything that is or will be bestowed to you by God is customized by your makeup, seasons, and also His grace. Factor in also your obedience and the expedience of your commitment to Holy Spirit’s promptings. Please don’t fall into the snare of jealousy. It is a waste of your creativity and a waste of your time. Jealousy depletes because it will ultimately incite you to move in ways that are not holy. To move in ways that involve various forms of witchcraft, selfish ambitions, and ferocious obsessions. Make for yourself a plan to co-partner with God through prayer which will assist you in locating parts of your heart that has become susceptible to the active jealousy of a nearby soul in this season.

    JAMES3:14-16 -But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.

  • Weak Measurements

    Saturday 10/1/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification for you if you have been judged by the weak measurements of another person or people based on external appearances. Do not discount yourself. This is unfair to who God created you to be. Man did not make you—God did. God knows what’s inside of you. God knew you in your mother’s womb. Accept that it is not uncommon for others to quickly place their stamp of approval on another based on what they see just as it is also not uncommon for others to reject another based on what they see. There is a small community who can see beyond surface levels. However, this still will be beyond your care, control, or concern. Do not make it a mission in trying to reach man’s measurements. If you’re weighed beneath someone’s standards and/or expectations, let it be well with your soul. Connect with God and pray that your esteem is safe guarded enough that you aren’t out here fighting to be seen by individuals who were never ordained to see you.

    1 SAMUEL 16:7b …for God does not see as man sees, since man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

  • Conflict Resolution

    Saturday 9/24/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to give you a heads up that you will experience a conflict or some conflict in this new season. But do not be alarmed. There is a such thing as healthy conflict. When you’re in new environments that have been blessed to foster your growth, you will experience conflict that works in tandem with this. It is your responsibility to understand conflict resolution. The unwise thing to do will be to respond negatively. You must yield to what ever the conflict is requesting out of you that it may be matured for the future. Nothing should be taken personal. NOTHING. So ask God in prayer to assist in insulating you from the spirit of offense and to be prepared for any instances that may arise to test you.

    PROVERBS 12:18 There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing.

  • Power Outage

    Saturday 9/17/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to alert you not to be dismayed by the mini power outages in your life that you have or will begin to experience. These power outages have been ordered by God to disconnect you from the people, places, and ideas that you have made an idol of. You may have heard this once before, if not here It is, God is a jealous God. But not a human jealous. Because nothing earthly was ever designed to be your end all be all. Some of these power outages will sting you to the core, and those will be the exact areas God wants your unadulterated allegiance. Suffice it to say, other power outages will reverse stagnation and false limitations. Can you see that? These power outages will expose, The Who, The What, and most importantly,The Why of the disconnection. Ask God to keep you from being paralyzed by the shock of these power outages, because although they will be small, they will be major.

    PSALM 18:28 -For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness.

    DEUTERONOMY 4:24-For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

  • Foreign

    Saturday 9/10/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that although you may find yourself in a foreign place, it is not of God for you to embrace paranoia, seeking for the proverbial other shoe to drop. Consider everything that you had to go through and grow through in order to get to this place right here. Take into account all of the paths that had to align and the various chapters your new encounters/connections had to face prior to being a key player in your current season. Just because what you’re in is foreign, doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be experiencing the same things you did in previous spaces. It’s actually more proof of the contrary. Should you come across something that activates your battle mode, you have the wherewithal to take care of it. Furthermore, you have the wisdom to determine if it’s something that merely requires limited attention. At the end of the day, paranoia is a derivative of fear. And we know that God did not give us this spirit. Tailor your prayers in this hour to ask God to help you live in the moment of your foreign place so that you can glean from it purely.

    JOSHUA 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

  • Blameless

    Saturday 9/3/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to inform you that God says, “Your integrity has proceeded you.” What does this mean? We are living in a day and age where integrity is eluding the masses. Individuals are falling prey to the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life which has lured them away from the desire to operate in integrity. Opportunities requesting the voluntary relinquishing of morals and values that compliment the heart of God are becoming more and more lucrative/appealing. But to stand blameless in this time, will prove for you a benefit. There is safety in being blameless. There is safety in remaining steadfast and unmovable even in the face of adversity and chronic disappointment. You are about to experience the fruit of your integrity proceeding you. Your commitment to uprightness and honor in past seasons, has been used as a downpayment for your new season. Continue to make these silent investments and watch how God will establish your ways.

    PSALM 119:1 -Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord!

    PHILIPPIANS 2:15 -That you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

  • Fancy Feasts

    Saturday 8/27/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to inform you that just because someone trespassed against you, does not mean you should take on the mannerisms and table manners of pigs! Unchecked relational wounds are but an open invitation to the fancy feasts of demonic influences. Over lifetimes many have made the unfortunate mistake of letting their violated feelings and betrayed trust lure them to attend ungodly suppers. Nothing offered by the one who parades himself as an angel of light and those who worship him, will suffice as medicine for your ailments. All they’ll have to offer are addictions. Submit your cardiac arrest (broken heart) and collapsed lungs (broken trust) to God so that you may have the strength to resist the enemy by rejecting his banquets of blasphemy.

    1 Corinthians 10:21-You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.

  • Light

    Saturday 8/20/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to remind you of a few things. There are creatures that are attracted to light and then there are creatures who are repelled by light. Do not become intoxicated with yourself when you attract. And do not succumb to the spirit of rejection when you repel. Because there are cases where those attracted to your light will come with cargo bags filled with ulterior motives and those who are repelled will be so because your light either hurts them or exposes them—maybe both. Nevertheless, your spiritual sobriety is paramount in this hour. You possess a light that is not of your own doing but of Christ. Ask God to fine tune your discernment where paranoia does not undermine Holy Spirit and flattery does not evade detection.

    MATTHEW 4:16- the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.

  • Don't Rush

    Saturday 8/13/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to warn you; DON’T RUSH. There is a reason that patience is listed in the holy passages as a fruit of the spirit. Because in conjunction with time, you will be presented with blessings disguised as mature problems and or issues. Blessings disguised as rejection or obstacles. Blessings disguised as injustice, sabotage, and/or breached opportunities. Don’t rush into anything. And anything that does not allow or require you to consult with Christ and His assigned wise counsel for you beforehand, will be none other than a solicitation from hell. In a short while, if the time has not reached you already, God will show you just why He would not have you enter into binding spiritual and earthly contracts ahead of His time. And you will be able to almost instantly reap and enjoy its benefits. While others around you buckle and cave under the pressures from decisions made in haste. Holy Spirit leaves for you a note in this hour; “What’s for you, will always be for you. In due time.”

    ISAIAH 40:31- But they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

    JAMES 1:4- But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, wanting nothing.

  • Love Is Stronger Than Pride

    Saturday 8/6/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that in a little while, you will come to find that what makes you dissimilar from the next person or group of people will be advantageous to you and the next person or group of people. When it comes to divine connections—differences in spiritual makeups and the way in which you and another process things can act as spark plugs for something much bigger than you and others combined. With that in mind, always hold fast to this; love is stronger than pride. Because it knows when to yield and allow differences to complement a movement. Pride is the absolute opposite. Pride actually forces abnormal bending to its difference. Pride doesn’t compromise. Pride sees one way—ITS WAY. Ask God to assist you with staying in love and you will never have to worry about your core values being disrupted despite others’ differences.

    1 CORINTHIANS 13:5 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

  • Closer

    Saturday 7/30/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to alert you to the dry patches in your heart that are causing you to feel estranged from God. It is a much deeper feeling than that of loneliness. It’s the ongoing upheaval of emotions that come about when you’ve misplaced, left behind, or lost something valuable on your way to a place where you know you’ll need it most. Like losing your keys, your wallet, or your phone. But of course in this case it’s not material—it’s spiritual. You’ve lost your SACRED. Your intimate space where only you and He met. Here’s the beauty of the Good News, God has always desired to ever be close to you. And He’s saying to you in this hour, “I’ll meet you where I’ve always met you, IN MY WORD.” Your prayers now should be geared towards asking Him to illuminate a path that will lead you to a garden in His word.

    PSALM 119:105-Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

  • Worry Wart

    Saturday 7/23/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to ask you a question, if God were to perform an X-ray on your soul, how much of a worry wort would He find constituting your makeup? Here is grace for you though, it is actually natural for us a humans in our finite thinking to worry about things that are pretty much beyond our reach or scope. We can only see so far, and when we can’t see beyond our physical limitations we worry. We worry ourselves into panic driven decisions or are paralyzed with fear based immobility. In other words we move too soon or not at all. This is not the way of faith. Moreover this is not the way of God. Inhale. Exhale. Yes, breath. Everything that should come to pass for you will come to pass for you, without your worry laced manipulations. And everything that isn’t supposed to come to pass will not come to pass, yet absent your worry fed motivations. Shift your prayers to ask God to lance the worry worts that have consumed you in this hour and to recenter you in His will.

    MATTHEW 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

  • Rhythm

    Saturday 7/16/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to admonish you to not allow the actions of others and outside influences to throw you off the rhythm that God has you on in this season. With the days we are in, an influx in distractions and agitations are inevitable, but this mustn’t deter you from submitting to your own divine acceleration. What use would it be to you to focus on why and how the wicked succeed and prosper? You will see for yourself how when things are allowed to move in tandem with whatever force they are governed by whether good or bad, they will produce a harvest that can’t be denied. So back to you, prepare now to find your rhythm while your speed is slow, so that you won’t suffer from whiplash when it kicks up.

    JEREMIAH 12:5 If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country,  how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?

  • Why?

    Saturday 7/9/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification in the form of some questions: When’s the last time you considered why you’re doing what you’re currently doing right now? Why are you in your current position right now? Why are you connected to this person, place, thing, or idea? Why are you presently engaging in the things that you’re presently engaging in? Periodically, you should ask yourself these types of questions to confirm the motives behind them. Some motives you will find are pure and innocent in nature. Others you will find quite possibly, underlying perversion of various sorts. For example; fear can be disguised as comfort/familiarity and selfish ambition can be disguised as successful achievements. Every season will require the scrutinization of your motives and therefore the reassessment of your WHY? Weak why’s produce weak lack luster outcomes. Furthermore, unaddressed faulty why’s produce bad character. It’s time to yield to God’s surveys to ensure your intentions are righteous.

    PHILIPPIANS 4:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

  • Locomotive

    Saturday 7/2/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that you must be more aggressive and intentional in monitoring your thoughts. One thought will give birth to another thought and that thought will give birth to another thought. Next thing you know, if these thoughts aren’t good thoughts you’ll find yourself ruminating. And just like an old locomotive train, your rumination will have you revved up and traveling to places that you were actually delivered from whether physically, mentally, or spiritually. Do yourself a sincere favor in requesting God’s assistance in safeguarding your thoughts. Ask God to help you build hedges of protection around your mental facility to keep you from reverting back to a setting that is detrimental to your overall wellbeing.

    PHILIPPIANS 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

  • Frustrated Plans

    Saturday 6/25/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to assist you in being more intentional in acknowledging the plans that God thinks toward you. Oftentimes, when our plans are frustrated we deduce that the enemy is at play. When sometimes it’s God redirecting our paths. If we are truthful with ourselves, we like being in control and the minute we feel like we’re losing it we begin to glitch out and self-destruct. There is a way that seems right to man, key word SEEMS. We are humans who are not omniscient nor omnipresent, as God is, so our plans will almost always be shortsighted and wobbly. Do not be so quick to cry foul or yell CODE RED in this hour when you’re sitting in the midst of a frustrated plan. And abstain from rebuking the enemy. He has nothing to do with this. Instead, ask God to assist you in yielding to HIS plans. Guarantee, your obedience will prove how and why your plans carried out would have produced lackluster results and even unnecessary warfare.

    PROVERBS 16:9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.

  • Leaky Faucet

    Saturday 6/18/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to warn you not to allow any influx of chaos and confusion to drive you to make decisions that won’t benefit you in the long run. It’s easy to stop the nagging sounds of a leaky faucet in the short term, but after while there will be some erosion overtime. Same thing applies to operating during chaos and confusion, the result of this is double mindedness. You will think you have solved an issue when all hell has broken loose and yet a future event will expose the weak solution. Ask God now to show you how to bring chaotic confusing environments into subjection like Jesus, that you won’t compromise your posture and whatever He’s willed you to do.

    MATTHEW 8:27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

  • Flavor

    Saturday 6/11/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that it’s best to maintain your salty flavor than to vie and strain to become Man’s flavor of the month. How do you do that? By remaining authentic and true to who you are to the core. There is so much beauty laying within your difference. Most of all there is so much value in you preserving your flavor. In a day and age where it seems most popular and attractive to mimic and copy others for fanfare and notoriety, God is in need in this very hour of a people who are not afraid to go against the grain and the mold. Ask God to preserve you and to keep you from losing your salty flavor.

    MATTHEW 5:13 You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.

  • Memory Bank

    Saturday 6/4/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to inform you that it’s ok from time to time for your memory bank to replay past events. Expect God to make frequent withdrawals of the sorts. Some memories, He will cast away for you not to rehash. Then there will be others He’ll have for you to use to deliver others. And you’ll find yourself being confirmed that nothing was coincidental and everything necessary. Even the things that created memories of which He will destroy. Matter of fact, the memories He will rid you of will have already served their purpose. So welcome the spaces and opportunities for the withdrawals of your memory bank to make way for unprecedented experiences creating new memories In the end, the goodness of God evidenced through you must make a bold expression, so all will see how great He is.

    PSALM 71:15-16 I will tell of your goodness; all day long I will speak of your salvation, though it is more than I can understand. I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will proclaim your goodness, yours alone.

  • Extra Luggage

    Saturday 5/28/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that you have too much extra luggage you’re carrying. Fatigue and irritability are the symptoms of this. At one point it was your diet. At another point it was your connections. Now it’s what you’re carrying and are trying to bring into the next. There’s no room for everything. You must consolidate so you can pack light. You have things on your person that are serving no immediate purpose. There are habits that you think will benefit you in this next space and they will not. Old ways of maneuvering and systems of operations, must be unloaded. You don’t need them. And you actually have been made aware of this a few times, but you’re hoarding them for a “what if” moment. This is indeed, a subversion of your confidence. Ask God to give you the ability to let go of all the things that are obsolete and sitting as extra baggage. And He’ll replace it with what’s necessary as your next progresses.

    LUKE 9:3 “Take nothing for your journey,” he instructed them. “Don’t take a walking stick, a traveler’s bag, food, money, or even a change of clothes

  • Fidelity

    Saturday 5/21/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that God is requiring your complete and full fidelity. You must move out of the way, everything that you idolize and or have placed on the altar of your heart. Your attention is divided. You only want God’s presence in certain areas of your life and not all areas as He desires. What you don’t understand is, this is actually the source of your confusion and inability to make a concrete decision on a matter of the heart. God will not make this decision for you. And you can’t make the decision because you have other things vying for your fidelity and thus interrupting your emotional sobriety. Ask God to show you what He needs you to move to second, third, fourth place and so on in your life, so that He can be placed back at FIRST. Then watch how easy and clear it is to make pivotal decisions.

    REVELATION 2:3-4 Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name. But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.

  • Mirrors & Exponents

    Saturday 5/14/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This a notification to nudge you into a place of understanding why you have and will encounter various types of connections throughout this journey. It is said that people come into your life for a season, a reason, or a lifetime. Regardless, every connection comes to teach you something. Every connection will act as a mirror. But not every one will act as an exponent. Meaning, a person may reflect the parts of you that need to change or be deducted. Sometimes God will harden the heart of an individual to actually liberate areas of you that were held captive by your own negative thoughts of self. No matter how much you may try to reconfigure the wirings of this connection, the intention of the connection will not change. Accept that they were or will never be destined to receive you favorably. On the other hand, someone else may reflect the parts of you that can be expound upon; the exponent. Consider what a mathematical exponent means in an equation. Similarly, these souls will denote how much the good parts of you need to be multiplied in order to bless others. Can you see this? Cater your prayers to ask God to help you in receiving the full revelations surrounding your connections past, present, and future. May His assistance incline you to be more intentional in your relationships as well as receptive.

    PROVERBS 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

  • No Carnal Weapon

    Saturday 5/7/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to alert you to disengage from anything that requires you to fight in the flesh. If you have not already been, you will be provoked to respond to adverse situations using anything other than the armor of God and the fruit of the spirit, which will have you carried way outside of your jurisdiction. A very cunning tactic of the enemy to use these methods to gain better access to God’s children. You have much bigger fish to fry in this battle. And resorting to squabbles in the flesh will be futile. Count it not strange when these small incidents with pigs present themselves. You may even laugh. Just don’t react. Instead, ask God to show you how to respond in the spirit. Because no carnal weapon will suffice.

    2 CORINTHIANS 10:4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

  • Thief of Freedom

    Saturday 4/30/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to inform you in love, that you will never be perfect. The good news is, God doesn’t expect you to be. Yet the thief of your freedom within this good news is your ferocious desire to be such. Aside from the fact that we have the DNA of the fallen Man running through our veins, God is the only being that is perfect. And through Him He designed perfectly imperfect facets and portions to encompass our makeup. There are blessings attached to the nuances of who we are in Him. The minute we begin to try and erase these things by running feverishly after perfection, is the minute we begin to undermine His creation. Cater your prayers to ask God to shift your focus from human perfection to the mark of a higher call.

    PHILIPPIANS 3:12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

  • Seduction

    Saturday 4/23/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to place you on high alert for a device that the enemy has found great success in using against the people of God for eons; Seduction. The first thing that often comes to mind when we hear seduction is sex. But just as one can be seduced into committing this act especially out of context or in other words the confines of marriage, one can be seduced into committing other acts that contradict the will of God for our lives. It is imperative that you work overtime to remain sober during this hour. Don’t allow success to drunken you and don’t allow failure to sedate you. Because these are actually the perfect windows of opportunity for the spirit of seduction to rear its head like the serpent in the Garden of Eden. You must be so well aware of your weaknesses and so grounded in your faith that you can resist the enemy that he flees. Pray for God to search the areas of your soul to make the proper reinforcements that can withstand the solicitations from darkness, masquerading as light.

    MARK 13:5 And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray.”

  • Expectations Vs. Reality

    Saturday 4/16/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that it’s time for you to acknowledge how in some cases your expectations will not always mirror reality. It is because in our finite wisdom and limitations as human beings, we tend to extend our reach past our actual capacity in any given season. As a result, we are then met with disappointment. Even still there will always lay a lesson at the mouth of your disappointment. Some of you will be led by God to reconcile the books consisting of past disappointments and with this will come a peace that surpasses all understanding. There will be another group of you who will experience an unshakable disappointment that will send you back to the throne of grace and believe it or not, a greater degree of discernment will be birthed in you as a result. Nonetheless, it will be well with your soul.

    PHILIPPIANS 1:20 My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all boldness, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether by life or by death.

  • Vengeance vs. Vindication

    Saturday 4/9/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that vindication is here. There will be various forms spreading out over the course of the next season or two. And you will understand why God reserves vengeance for Himself. You will also understand why forgiveness is the precursor. Man does not have the capacity to enact the type of vengeance on another person to initiate repentance. Man’s vengeance fuels almost always a back-to-back war with others. Furthermore, man’s vengeance causes the presumed wronged, to place themselves on a pedestal of hyper-grace. God’s vengeance activates reconciliation (not to be confused with reconnection). God’s vengeance holds every party accountable leaving no fig leaf unturned. All of this will be impossible for you to believe as truth if you are still harboring any ounce of unforgiveness and/or plots to avenge yourself. God knows and sees all, hence, His omniscience and omnipresence. Understand still, these will not be moments for celebration nor moments to gloat. It will be a moment to reflect and ensure that you do not become a replica of who afflicted you. Cater your prayers to ask Holy Spirit to search you as this inevitable season approaches.

    PSALM 10:17-18 You hear, Adonai, the desire of the meek. You encourage them and incline Your ear. To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.

    PSALMS 139:23-24 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

  • Untapped Power

    Saturday 4/2/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification for you to not be afraid of the new places in you that God is allowing you to explore. You are going to experience a vulnerability unlike any you’ve ever experienced. Don’t resort to lower-level thinking and past mechanisms to cope. This exposure is divine. It has been authorized. There is untapped power here. And once you yield to these promptings of God it will become evident and accessible to you to walk in. Many have confused vulnerability with weakness. And oh thee contraire! Jesus’ vulnerability at the cross is and forever will be your most striking confirmation. So may God be amplified in your weakness. Yield your prayers to ask God to assist you in surrendering to Him in your vulnerability.

    2 CORINTHIANS 12:2–5 Fourteen years ago I was taken up to heaven for a visit. Don’t ask me whether my body was there or just my spirit, for I don’t know; only God can answer that. But anyway, there I was in paradise, and heard things so astounding that they are beyond a man’s power to describe or put in words (and anyway I am not allowed to tell them to others). That experience is something worth bragging about, but I am not going to do it. I am going to boast only about how weak I am and how great God is to use such weakness for his glory.

  • Jewels of Correction

    Saturday 3/26/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification for you to not take correction as a slight to who you are but an investment from God for who He wants to see you become. Correction protects and prunes. It keeps your roots undersoil and your fruit in the proper light/exposure for nourishment. Embrace correction as it will make a pleasant invitation from sources that you least expect. It has to come from these avenues to shield you from familiarity. Familiarity can rob you of the jewels from correction. So two things will happen instantaneously; a shift into unfamiliar territory and then an invite to correction. Consider it an honor when these occurrences take place. For God chastens whom he loves.

    JOB 5:17 Happy is the person whom God corrects!  Do not resent it when he rebukes you.

  • When They Return

    Saturday 3/19/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification for some of you that a visitor from your past will be coming to you soon. When they return, do not feel compelled/obligated to rekindle what you once had or to reconnect with them as if there was never a breach of covenant. The visitation is to not only foster forgiveness in you but t it will also be God’s way to show you a sign of the new season you’re entering in. If you’ve ever been on a road trip to go to another state, depending on what route you’re taking, a welcome sign is typically at the entrance of that state you’re heading into. And some GPS monitors will say, “Welcome to (said state)” Surround your prayer for when this person or people return, around asking God to assist you in remaining sober enough to receive them, vigilant enough to maintain your posture, boundaries, and standards, and last, open enough to accept this invitation into your new. To whom much is given, much is required, this is part of those requirements.

    LUKE 17:3 So watch yourselves. If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.

  • Recultivate

    Saturday 3/12/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to admonish you to not be alarmed by the turbulence and sudden rearrangements of your surroundings. You are being recultivated. Your soil is being tested and re-tilled. God has already removed the tares and weeds. Now he must prune the parts of you that were producing fruit. This may sound like a negative. But it is positive. You are not a houseplant. You are not a rosebush. You are a tree that must be planted by the rivers of living water, lest you wither away and die off. This recultivation is necessary for you to not only grow but to flourish. Tailor your prayers around asking God to help you maintain the peace that surpasses all understanding. Because right now, it will not make sense yet, and a petition for understanding will not serve you at this time.

    JOHN 15:2-4 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.  You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

  • The Juniper Tree

    Saturday 3/5/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to let you know that God has received your last petitions. Your recent prayers of supplication have been made known to God and your sustenance is available but not under the juniper tree you have used as your bed and your shade—as your room and board. It’s time to get up and go now. To go to the place where God has been directing you to go for your replenishment. The juniper tree was never supposed to be permanent. This place can be a physical place or a place somewhere situated in your soul. Either way, it’s time to depart from this locale of familiarity. The juniper tree, though it for a moment nourished you, the season has shifted and what it will produce next will be poisonous. It would be wise to simply ask for God’s direction for next and not His comfort for now.

    1 KINGS 19:5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.

  • Hunger Pangs

    Saturday 2/26/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that as your language changes you will instantaneously experience hunger pangs. A kind that can not be quenched by natural food. It’s because your appetite will begin to gravitate towards spiritual things that will compliment your new tongue. You will wake up hungry. You will go about your day hungry. You will lay down hungry. Your new self will be hungry. Be advised, that it is not wise to pick and eat from everywhere. You have the freedom to do so, all things are permissible but not all things are fruitful. Cater your prayers to ask for God’s meal plan for you. What should be a part of your diet and what should not be? Because there’s a great chance that what you used to eat, you can not anymore. And there’s also a great chance that an uptick in solicitations from everywhere all of a sudden will be made to you. So you must know how to say “No,” to some things where you won’t run the risk of saving “Yes,” to everything.

    MATTHEW 4:4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

    MATTHEW 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

  • Change of Language

    Saturday 2/19/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to inform you that God is currently changing your language. Count it not strange when you are motivated to be quiet at times you’re used to speaking and speaking at times you’re used to keeping quiet. This will be God’s way of shifting atmospheres to activate the birth of your new dialect. This is also a season where many will be eating their words having refused to submit to these same atmosphere shifts. And you don’t want to be one of them. At Genesis, man was given just a lesser degree than God, of influence with mere words. Yet, life and its traumas reconfigured our language and therefore distorted this authority to be able to call things into being within the context of God’s divine order. Our present-day is evidence of man’s chaotic tongue. Needless to say, your old ways of speaking will be no longer. For if you try to speak in the ways you once did, you will taste how bitter the old words are. Hopefully, this will appeal to you before you are forced to consume them later. Understand, that God must retranslate your tongue so that you may effectively communicate with the souls you will encounter from various walks of life, seasons, and pain histories.

    PROVERBS 18:20-21 From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

  • Mountains vs. Walls

    Saturday 2/12/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to inform you that you have not been called to climb one mountain this season. You have been given power, authority, and influence to send a mountain into the abyss. You have been given the strength, courage, and wisdom to scale walls, which is completely different from climbing mountains. It would take so much effort and time to climb something you can just move out of the way with your mouth filled with the tongues of faith. Expect to be challenged in your recognition of a mountain versus a wall. Tailor your prayers to God requesting the fine-tuning of this recognition.

    PSALM 18:29 With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.

    MATTHEW 11:23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.

  • False Humility

    Saturday 2/5/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification for you to check the grade and authenticity of your humility. There’s a possibility that you are operating in humility that is false. And there is nothing attractive about false humility because from a distance it looks just like pride. Where pride is the exaggerated estimation of self, false humility is the exaggerated UNDER estimation of self. At the end of the day, it’s an issue with the esteem of self. False humility will always irritate if not block opportunities. In an effort to preserve an “image” of Christlikeness you overcompensate in areas that need no compensation and you neglect compensation in areas that do need it. Question? What are you afraid of? In a day and age where many are confused about what it is to even be Christlike, it’s best you not worry about anyone discounting your Christlikeness. Craft your prayers to ask God to pull back this veil of false humility that you have become so comfortable with shielding yourself with and to reconfigure your esteem of self by showing you what it means to really be Christlike which will be the launching pad for true humility to take shape in you.

    2 CORINTHIANS 3:18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

  • Castaways and Limelights

    Saturday 1/29/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification for you if you fit into one of two categories. Castaways or limelights. If you have always desired to be considered valuable, appreciated, and respected for your raw potential and abilities but instead, you were despitefully used, discounted, and discarded, you belong to the group for castaways. Cater your prayers these next few days to ask God to give you eyes to not only see but to also adapt to what you see. Your eyes are used to darkness. And any foreign light will irritate you. And any objects whether in close proximity or from a distance, will intimidate you. The type of connections that God has ordained for your approaching season will see your value and want to pull you into the light. This is why you need new eyes, so there won’t be any tug of wars that could impede these connections.

    If you have desired for quite some time to have the person you are behind the cape of achievements and accomplishments be received, protected, and loved, you belong to the group for the limelights. Cater your prayers these next few days to ask God to renew your mind. Your mind is fixed on performance mode which keeps causing you to prematurely show your hands exposing the fine gold weaved into your palmar flexion creases and thus attracting nothing but leeches and little foxes that destroy the vine also known as the integrity of your relationship with God. The type of connections that God has ordained for your approaching season will see before anything else, the little boy or girl in you longing for tender love and care. This is why you need a renewed mind, so there won’t be any confusion on who these connections are.

    MARK 8:24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”

    ROMANS 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

  • The Wisdom of God

    Saturday 1/22/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that you are being blessed at this moment with the type of wisdom that allows God to trust you with more autonomy. Many of those who consider themselves to be believers auto-return all obligations to God to fully make every decision on their behalf. It is a perverted submission that God never called for His sons and daughters to operate in. Why? Because that is none other than slavery and it also absolves one from accountability. On the other hand, there are those who have gained KNOWLEGE, confusing it with God’s wisdom and in return, they became bloated with pride which caused them in their flawed human, to stampede on others. The byproduct of the wisdom of God is more humility. Because one can not receive a sample serving of God’s mind and remain high up in themselves. Moreover, where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. And with freedom comes a responsibility that beckons God’s wisdom. Make room for yourself through humility to receive the wisdom from God that will not only bring you before great men but the wisdom of God that will assist you in making righteous decisions over simply good decisions. The wisdom from God that will teach, that will guide, that will confirm.

    ISAIAH 30:21….and whenever you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “ This is the way. Walk in it.”

  • Survivor's Remorse

    Saturday 1/15/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification to inform you that it is time to let go of the guilt that you carry for coming out of something that others thought should have consumed and therefore destroyed you. Some days you are ok with enjoying your wholeness. Then other days you are ashamed and even afraid to express the amount of peace and liberation that has come with you being more than a conqueror. Know that the more you begin to embrace this place of healing and wholeness, the more you will notice those who aren’t able to join you. It is because everyone is on their own unique journey. Some have chosen to stay where they are. Others are moving at the pace that’s best for them. Don’t make the mistake though of entertaining survivor’s remorse. Structure your prayers around asking God to help you to become fully engaged in your healing and wholeness, to help you learn the language that this journey has molded you to speak, and to connect you with those who are on a similar path so that you won’t feel pressured to pretend that you’re broken when you’re not.

    JOHN 5:6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had now been in this condition for a long time, He said to him, “Will you be made whole?”

  • Rage of the Inner Me

    Saturday 1/8/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that your inner me is prepared to wage war against you. The onset of a new year will always come with major areas of opportunity that will request for you to take center stage. However, your greatest threat will not be from outside influences. Your Goliath will be your inner me. Turning your back on the false external enemies will give you focus and stamina to combat the harshest critic you've ever had—YOU. Every challenge and/or obstacle can be overcome if you just tackle yourself. The part of you that self-sabotages. The part of you that procrastinates. The part of you that worries to no end, making up scenarios that will never happen. The part of you that wallows and throws pity parties. The part of you that gravitates towards mediocrity, temptation, and even sin. Center your prayers this week around God searching your soul and assisting you in bringing this stronghold to its knees.

    ROMANS 7:24‭-‬25 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind, I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.

  • The Chrysalis is Breaking

    Saturday 1/1/22

    Hello beautiful soul. This is a notification that your chrysalis is breaking. You no longer need permission to grow. You’re growing. At first, you didn’t recognize it because you were comparing yourself with others and/or listening to your own self-deprecating thoughts. Something in your environment shifted or changed altogether which fostered this breaking. Imagine someone changing their room around or switching a picture from an accent wall to the main wall, this is what God did to your environment to catalyze your mental, emotional, spiritual, and even physical rebirth. It was already happening, you just needed to catch the wave. Today, God is saying, “I want you to embrace this breaking.” Now that you are aware, expect a little pain but also expect soon, a lift as if someone is giving you a hand and then a transition like walking out of a train car into another one but on a completely different track.

    GALATIANS 5 :1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Mark my words!
