🌻 Thrive

I’ve been thinking a lot about how we’re meant to thrive — yet so many of us are just surviving. While I’m deeply grateful to have survived this far, it’s the knowledge and understanding of God our Father that convinces me there’s more. We weren’t created to live life on the edge of exhaustion, just getting by. We were created to thrive — to live from the abundance of His presence and purpose.

When God placed man in the Garden He planted, it had everything man needed. When He led His people to the Promised Land, it was described as a land flowing with milk and honey — where they could dig copper out of the hills, live in houses they didn’t build, and eat from vineyards they didn’t plant. Every time God positioned His people, He positioned them in abundance.

Then He placed us in Christ and blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. This has always been His will, His desire, and His intention — that His children would thrive from a place of wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and reverence for the Lord our God.

Thriving is part of the original blessing — “be fruitful and multiply.” It’s not just about producing things; it’s about living in a flow of divine life. From this place, whatever we put our hands to will prosper. The gates of hell will not prevail against us. We were created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

We’re not here to scrape by. We’re not here just to survive another day. We’re here to manifest the life of Christ — to live fruitful, multiplying, thriving lives that reflect the goodness and faithfulness of our Father.

Because His will for us has never changed.
We’re here to thrive.

You Are Mine

There are few things more powerful than being seen —truly, deeply seen. And there are few words more affirming than the ones God speaks in Isaiah 43:1: “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.” This verse hits with the force of a knockout punch. It’s God stepping in and declaring: “I don’t care what you’ve been through. I don’t care what name you’ve answered to. I don’t care what’s tried to claim you—I ALREADY DID. YOU. ARE. MINE.” Let’s break it down. Jacob vs. Israel: Who You Were vs. Who You’ve Become God doesn’t just call one name in this verse—He calls two. Jacob and Israel. This isn’t accidental; this is intentional. 🔹 Jacob (Ya‘aqov - ×™ַ×¢ֲקֹב) means supplanter, deceiver, heel-grabber. Jacob was the struggler, the one who grasped at what wasn’t his, the man who schemed his way through life. His name was tied to his flaws, his past, his reputati...

Breaking the Lock and Key: A Call to Transformation

  1. Introduction: The Invisible Chains of Conformity “Do not be conformed to the image of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This verse is not just a spiritual call—it’s a radical challenge to every system that seeks to mold us into something we’re not. Conformity, whether to cultural norms or religious rules, often feels inevitable. Yet, it can trap us in a cycle of dependency, where access to fulfillment, purpose, or salvation seems locked away by those in power. But there is another way. Transformation through the renewing of the mind is the antidote to conformity—a pathway to reclaiming the freedom Christ offers. To break free, we must recognize how the "lock and key" dynamic operates in the world around us. 2. The "Lock and Key" of Cultural Conformity The Chains of Expectation: From the moment we enter the world, we’re handed a script: achieve success, accumulate wealth, look perfect, and conform to society's defini...

Naturally

There’s a phrase that came to me one morning, somewhere between sleep and waking: "You got a natural on the way!" It landed in my spirit with excitement—like a whisper from Heaven. And the more I sat with it, the more I realized it wasn’t just a random phrase. It was a confirmation. I’ve been in pursuit of purpose for most of my life. But if I’m honest, that pursuit was often desperate—striving to prove something, misusing the very talents I was naturally given in an effort to make a name for myself. And while serving time for that pursuit, I discovered things in me that no one taught me. Insights. Truths. Talents, that just came naturally. Then it hit me: that’s the point. Genesis 1:26–28 tells us we were made in the image of God. Before the fall. Before religion. Before shame. We were blessed. And that blessing wasn’t ornamental—it was functional. It was meant to activate our design: Be fruitful Multiply Replenish the earth Subdue it Have dominion We weren’t made to strugg...
