Good Morning Sunshine! The Fire Of God Has Sustained You And Now You Are A Carrier Of Revival! 


2 Timothy 1:6 (KJV) ~ “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee…”

Revival is not a one-time experience, it’s a lifestyle of continual surrender, daily intimacy with God, and a heart postured to receive and pour out! When God revives what was dead in you, whether a calling, a dream, or your faith, it’s your responsibility to guard that fire. The same God who restores is also the One who equips you to sustain and multiply what He’s given. 

Revival must be maintained and then released. In John 15:4, Jesus gives us the secret to sustaining revival, abide! Staying connected to the Vine is not optional, it’s essential. You cannot produce lasting fruit without intimacy. If you try to walk out your revival without staying rooted in the Presence of God, you’ll burn out, dry out, or return to what He already delivered you from. 

The same Spirit that revived you must now lead you. In 2 Timothy 1:6, Paul reminds Timothy to “stir up the gift.” That phrase is active, it requires movement, intentionality, discipline. Revival doesn’t stay alive by accident. You must protect your time in prayer, feed your spirit with the Word, and stay around those who provoke spiritual hunger. Don’t just experience the fire, tend to it. Fan it. Guard it. Because revival left unattended becomes a memory instead of a movement! 

But sustaining revival isn’t just for personal preservation. Once you’ve been revived, you’re called to become a carrier of revival for others. Matthew 10:8 says, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” God didn’t bring you back to life so you could sit in silence. He filled you so others could encounter the deliverance and the overflow.

We see this in Elisha’s life. After he received a double portion of Elijah’s anointing (2 Kings 2:9–14), he didn’t retreat, he began to pour out. He healed water, raised the dead, multiplied oil, and broke curses. What he carried flowed outward. Even after his death, his bones revived a man who was thrown into his grave (2 Kings 13:21). That’s what revival residue looks like, power that lingers because a life was yielded! 

Romans 8:19 reminds us that “the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. “The world isn’t waiting for perfect people, they’re waiting for people revived enough to respond, and bold enough to carry the fire. Your coworkers, your family, your church, and your community need what God breathed into you. You are someone else’s evidence that resurrection is real.

Yet with this power comes responsibility. You must steward your story without slipping back into your past. You must carry your bed, like the healed man in John 5, not as a place to lay back down, but as a testimony of what God brought you out of. You’re not just a healed person; you’re a living altar. Everywhere you go, people should feel what you carry: hope, healing, and the holiness of revival.

Isaiah 61:1 makes this clear: “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me… to bind up the brokenhearted… to proclaim liberty…” You were revived for others to rise too. You were restored so that someone else could believe God can restore them. Your scars are proof. Your survival is power. Your revival has purpose beyond you.

So now what do you do? You guard the fire! You give the fire! You walk as someone who’s been lit by the fire and the breath of God! Don’t let fear stop you! Don’t let fatigue silence you! Tend the flame, then take it with you! 

Let’s Pray:

Father, thank You for reviving what I thought was lost. Thank You for breathing life into places I had abandoned, restoring joy where there was sorrow, and resurrecting purpose where I had given up. You didn’t just bring me back to life, you invited me to live again with fire. And now I ask You, Lord, to help me sustain what You’ve given. Teach me to abide in You and Your Word daily. Let me not stray from the Vine. When distractions pull at me, when doubt creeps in, when the enemy whispers old lies, remind me that revival is not based on my emotion, but my connection with You. Keep me tethered to Your truth, submitted to Your voice, and hungry for Your Presence. Help me stir up the gift when it grows quiet. Let prayer be my fuel, and purity be my posture. Father, don’t let this revival stop with me, let it be for my legacy as I say yes to becoming a carrier of revival. Send me to the broken places with the oil of healing. Let my words carry power. Let my story carry hope. Use my hands, my heart, and my mouth to speak life where there is death. Let me be a walking testimony of resurrection power. May those who meet me feel heaven’s touch, not because of who I am, but because I’ve been with You. Father, breathe on me daily. Burn in me deeply. Flow through me boldly. I will protect the fire. I will walk revived. And I will give away what You gave me freely. In the Mighty and Matchless Name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen! 

Blessings…

Have A Blessed Weekend…

Good Morning Sunshine! You Are Alive And Living! Now It’s Time To Step Into Revival! 

Romans 8:11 (KJV) ~ “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”

The journey of revival doesn’t end with seeing something come back to life, it continues with the bold decision to walk in the newness of life. On Tuesday you were asked to remember that God is the Reviver of all dead things, even when the situation seems final. And on yesterday, you were reminded that it’s never too late when God is the One speaking to the bones. Now, today, God is calling you to live again, not just breathe, but to walk fully in the power of resurrection life that is available to every believer through the Holy Spirit! 

There’s a difference between being revived and actually living again. Many have moments of refreshing but never step into their next assignment, because they fear returning to what once hurt them or feel unworthy to carry what God is resurrecting. But Paul reminds us in Romans 8:11 that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us. That means revival is not a one-time event, it is a lifestyle sustained by resurrection power.

After Elijah revived the widow’s son (1 Kings 17), the boy wasn’t meant to just return to the same routines, he was meant to live differently as evidence of God’s power. The same happened with the Shunammite woman’s son (2 Kings 4). These were not only personal miracles, but they also became generational markers of what God could do. The story didn’t end with the child sneezing, it began there. 

Revival is not only for your benefit but also for those who will hear your testimony. When God revived the dry bones in Ezekiel 37, it wasn’t just about animation, it was about mobilization. Verse 10 says, “and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.” God’s plan was not just to give the bones breath, but to equip and raise up an army. Revival must move you into position. It demands action on your part! 

God didn’t breathe into you for you to sit still, He breathed so you could stand, move, speak, build, serve, restore, and conquer. Stepping into revival also means shedding the garments of your past. Lazarus came out of the tomb alive but still bound in grave clothes. Jesus said, “Loose him, and let him go” (John 11:44). You can be breathing but still bound. You can be revived but not yet released. On this day, your invitation is to not only rise from what buried you, but to shed what used to define you. The grave is no longer your home, and mourning is no longer your mantle! 

Isaiah 60:1 commands: “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” That’s what revival looks like, rising and shining in the glory that now dwells upon you. This is your “live again” moment. It is not enough to just remember what God said or feel His breath once, you must now rise, speak, and walk in the fullness of who He has called you to be.

Every miracle up to this point, every revival in the widow’s home, in the upper room, in the valley of dry bones, was pointing you toward this moment. Not just to tell you God can do it again, but to remind you that He already has. You are standing in the evidence of answered prayer! You are breathing because God declared you shall live! So walk boldly! Hope fiercely! Love deeply! Live again! 

Let’s Pray: 

Father, thank You for the breath that has returned, the strength that is rising, and the Spirit that now dwells within me. I’ve walked through seasons of dryness, death, and delay, but You have proven Yourself faithful. You revived me when I didn’t think I would recover. You spoke life to places I gave up on. And now, Lord, I surrender to the call to live again, not just exist, but to walk with purpose, power, and passion. Father, breathe on me again today, not just to sustain me, but to send me. Let me walk in resurrection power. Help me to shed the grave clothes of yesterday, fear, shame, regret, and silence. Break every chain that still lingers from my tomb. Let Your Spirit quicken every place that still hesitates to move. I declare that I am not the same. The old is gone. The breath of heaven has marked me. Father, I receive the assignment that comes with revival. Like the bones that became an army, raise me up to stand, to serve, and to speak Your word. Let my testimony awaken others. Let my walk reflect Your glory. Let revival not be a moment I remember, but a mantle I carry. I will live again. I will love again. I will believe again. I will rise and shine, because Your glory is upon me. Thank You, Jesus, for calling me out of the tomb. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for dwelling in me with power. Thank You, Father, for loving me back to life. I declare today that this is not the end, it’s a new beginning. I will never be the same. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Amen! 

Blessings…

Good Morning Sunshine! It’s Never Too Late For God To Revive It! Because You Are Still Breathing! 

Ezekiel 37:5 (KJV) ~ “Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live.”

There’s a distinct difference between something being delayed and something being dead. But even if what you’re facing feels like it’s beyond saving, the God of the Bible is here to remind you of a powerful detail, it is never too late when God is the one doing the reviving. 

In Ezekiel 37, the prophet is led by God into a valley, not of people, but of bones. Dry bones. Disconnected bones. Bones that had been dead a long time. It’s important to note, that God took him there, not to discourage him, but to demonstrate the unstoppable force of divine resurrection. The question God asked Ezekiel wasn’t about His own power, it was about Ezekiel’s faith and vision, “Son of man, can these bones live?” (Ezekiel 37:3). 

And maybe that’s the question God is asking you right now. Can your ministry live again? Can your passion reignite? Can your joy return? Can your family be restored? The enemy wants you to believe it’s too late. But the breath of God doesn’t bow to time. Ezekiel didn’t try to fix the bones; he prophesied to them. He spoke God’s Word to what was unresponsive. You need to speak the Word of God to that thing, situation and or person! 

This is a key spiritual principle, Dead things don’t respond to emotion! They respond to truth! The Word of God carries breath! When you declare what God has spoken, it doesn’t matter how dry the situation is, life begins to stir. “So, I prophesied as I was commanded… and the bones came together” (Ezekiel 37:7). Movement begins where there was once nothing but dust! 

Some of the most miraculous revivals in scripture happened when people thought the time had run out. Sarah was past childbearing age, yet God revived her womb (Genesis 21:1-2). Lazarus was four days dead, yet Jesus raised him up (John 11:43-44). The woman with the issue of blood had suffered twelve years, yet her touch of faith revived her body (Mark 5:29). 

Over and over again, God is showing you that He is not limited by human timelines. You may feel like what you’re praying for has gone too far, been dead too long, or been overlooked too many times. But let this truth settle deep in your spirit: God specializes in late moments that still deliver right on time! He does His best work in places where only He can get the Glory. If He revived Ezekiel’s valley, He can revive yours too!  

Isaiah 43:19 declares, “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?” God is not recycling your past; He’s reviving your future. He’s not just breathing life into what you lost, He’s creating something that exceeds your expectations. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now dwells in you (Romans 8:11). That means resurrection lives inside your praise, your faith, and your obedience.

What’s required now is not panic, but prophecy. Not fear, but faith. Like Ezekiel, you must be willing to stand in the middle of what looks dead and speak life with authority. Prophesy healing to your body. Prophesy restoration to your family. Prophesy new breath to your spirit. Revival is not just an event; it is a response to the Word of the Lord. He has not forgotten you, and He has not abandoned what He started in you.

Today, God is saying: “It’s not too late. I have not changed My mind. I will cause breath to enter it again, and it shall live.” What looks dead is about to become a testimony. What looks empty is about to overflow. Don’t bury it, believe again! 

Let’s Pray:

Father, I thank You that time does not limit You, and that even when it seems too late for man, it’s never too late for You. You are the God who revives dry bones, restores broken things, and raises up what others have already pronounced dead. Today, I come before You and ask for fresh breath in every lifeless area of my life. Speak to the valleys I’ve been walking through. Revive the parts of me that stopped believing. Bring movement where there has only been stillness. God, forgive me for the times I declared something over before You were done with it. Teach me how to prophesy with boldness, like Ezekiel. Let my mouth come into agreement with heaven, even when my eyes see only dryness and delay. Remind me that You see the whole picture, and that Your breath changes everything. Today, I choose to believe that what looks beyond hope is still in Your hands. I speak life to my dry places. I speak revival to my dreams. I speak breath to the bones of my purpose. I receive the wind of Your Spirit now, and I declare that resurrection is not coming, it’s already beginning. I yield to the move of Your power, and I partner with the Word You have spoken. Revive me again, O Lord. Breathe on me, and I shall live. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! God Is a Reviver of Dead Things!

1 Kings 17:22 – “And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.”

There are seasons in life where you can feel like something has died, maybe not a person, but a promise, passion, or purpose. It can be a vision that once burned bright but now lies buried under layers of pain and disappointment. It can be a relationship that once flourished but now feels irreparably broken. Or it may even be your own heart that feels numb from grief, loss, or repeated failure. But the good news is this: God is a reviver of dead things. He doesn’t just comfort you in your grief, He breathes life back into what you thought was lost forever.

In 1 Kings 17:21–23, you can find the prophet Elijah confronted with the lifeless body of a widow’s only son. With no natural remedy in sight, Elijah turned to the supernatural. He cried out to God and stretched himself upon the child three times, and the Lord responded. “And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived” (v. 22). 

This was not just about a boy’s breath returning, it was about hope returning to a mother’s heart, faith returning to a household, and proof that God hears and God revives. Elisha, Elijah’s successor, carried the same mantle of resurrection. In 2 Kings 4:8–37, the Shunammite woman received a miracle child from God, only to have that very child die unexpectedly. But instead of preparing a burial, she prepared for revival. 

She ran to the prophet, and Elisha responded not with panic, but with power. “He went up and lay upon the child… and the flesh of the child waxed warm” (2 Kings 4:34). What once grew cold was warmed again. The child sneezed seven times, a number of completeness, and opened his eyes. What an image of complete restoration and divine intervention. This power to revive didn’t end with Elijah and Elisha. In the valley of dry bones, God asked the prophet Ezekiel, “Can these bones live?” 

Then He instructed him to prophesy to what was dead. “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live” (Ezekiel 37:5). Even dry, scattered, long-forgotten bones are not beyond God’s reach. With one word from heaven, death must bow, and life must rise. In John 11, Jesus Himself stood outside of Lazarus’ tomb and declared, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (John 11:25). This wasn’t just for Lazarus, it is a declaration to the world that resurrection is not just an event, it is a person. Jesus Christ revives not only bodies but souls, callings, faith, and destinies.

What seems buried in your life? Is there a dream you’ve stopped praying about? A ministry you walked away from? A relationship you deemed too far gone? Romans 4:17 tells us that God “quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” God doesn’t just remember what died, He calls it by name and commands it to live again. Even when it seems like time has passed you by, Isaiah 55:11 assures you, “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void.” 

When God speaks revival, you can trust that His Word will not fail. His timing is precise. His reach is eternal. His power is still active today. You may be looking at lifeless areas in your life with sorrow or silence, but God is calling you to believe again. He is calling you to speak, to stretch, to pray, and to pursue, because the God who revived the widow’s son, the Shunammite’s miracle, Ezekiel’s valley, and Lazarus’ body is still breathing life into dead things. You are not too late, and it is not too far gone. If God said it, there shall be a performance (Luke 1:45).

Let’s Pray:

Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before You acknowledging Your Sovereign power over all things, living and dead. You are the God who breathes life where there is none, the God who speaks to tombs and they tremble, the God who restores what has been scattered. I thank You for being the God who revives dead things,,not only bodies but also broken dreams, silenced callings, faded faith, and dry places in the soul. God, I bring to You every part of my life that feels lifeless. I lay before You every buried dream, every shut door, every prayer I’ve stopped praying. Revive my hunger for You. Revive my intimacy with Your Spirit. Revive the calling on my life that I once feared or ignored. Just as You revived the widow’s son through Elijah, and the Shunammite’s son through Elisha, breathe Your breath into my dead places. Let Your Word come alive in me again. Father, forgive me for the times I doubted Your power to restore. Forgive me for settling in graveyards when You were calling me to resurrection. Teach me to trust You again. Teach me to hope in Your Word. I receive the breath of heaven, the wind of Your Spirit, the fire of Your Presence. I declare that I shall live and not die, and every purpose You’ve spoken over me shall come forth in fullness and power. God, I align with what You’ve announced. I respond to what You’ve spoken. And I wait in faith for what You are confirming. I may have walked through valleys of dry bones, but I believe they are rising. I declare that resurrection power is in motion, and what You’ve begun, You will complete. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! God Is Preparing You For The Midnight Move! 

Matthew 25:1–13 NKJV ~ “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. [2] Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. [3] Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, [4] but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. [5] But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. [6] “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ [7] Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. [8] And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ [9] But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ [10] And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. [11] “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ [12] But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ [13] “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.“ 

The parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25 teaches us more than the necessity of readiness; it reveals a distinction between those who merely know about the Bridegroom and those who are intimately connected to His heart. Five of them were wise, not because they were better, but because they were prepared. They carried extra oil. They lived with expectancy.  They understood that midnight might come suddenly, but it wouldn’t come silently. When it came, it would divide those who were ready from those who were religious. This parable is not just about timing, it’s about relationship.

To be ready at midnight means having a posture of perpetual preparation. The wise virgins weren’t just holding lamps; they had what it took to sustain their light when others ran out. That oil symbolizes intimacy, time spent in prayer, worship, obedience, and daily fellowship with God. You don’t get oil from attending services alone; you get it in the secret place, where lamps are trimmed and hearts are tuned. You get it by knowing the heartbeat of the One who is coming, not just the headlines about His arrival.

When the cry came, “Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him!” It was too late to go and get more oil. The tragedy was not that the foolish virgins didn’t have lamps. They did. It was that their lamps had no substance, no power to last when it mattered most. In today’s terms, it’s possible to have a form of godliness without power, to know His Word without knowing His Will, and to speak His Name without understanding His nature. That kind of faith won’t carry you through the midnight cry.

Knowing His heart means you don’t just wait on Him, you walk with Him. You don’t just seek His hand, you lean into His whispers. When others are content quoting scriptures, you are living them. You’re not only singing songs about Him, you’re becoming a vessel for Him. You carry oil because you carry a relationship, not a reputation. You’ve learned to be still long enough to hear what others miss and to follow even when He leads through unfamiliar paths. Midnight is symbolic of transition, a shift in the spirit, a change in atmosphere. It’s the hour when things either break open or break down. For the prepared, midnight is not terrifying, it’s transformational. For those who are ready, it’s not too late, it’s right on time. The oil you’ve cultivated in secret becomes your passport into the promise. The door that opens isn’t for the one who shouts the loudest, but for the one whose flame is still burning.

When the Bridegroom said, “I know you not,” it was not because He didn’t recognize them by face, it was because He didn’t know them by intimacy. That is the sobering message of this parable. The time to know Him is not when the door is closing. The time is now. Do you know His heart? Are you in rhythm with His Spirit? Has His Presence become your priority or just a periodic pursuit? Being ready means that your yes to God isn’t conditional. It’s continual. You don’t run out of oil because you’ve made space in your life to be filled daily. You’re not scrambling at the sound of the cry because you’ve been living in anticipation of it. It’s not about fear of being locked out, it’s about the desire to be let in to the glory, into the joy, into the celebration of His appearing.

Are you ready? Is your oil pure? Are you trimmed, filled, and lit? Now is the time to know Him deeply. To cry not just for more information, but for impartation. To desire not just to serve Him but to be with Him. The cry will come at midnight, beloved. And when it does, may your heart be found burning, not just with borrowed words, but with the oil of a life lived close to the Bridegroom’s heart.

Let’s Pray: 

Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before You with a heart that desires to be ready. Not just ready to see You, but ready to know You. I don’t want to live off borrowed oil, secondhand faith, or shallow encounters. I want to walk in the fullness of Your presence and carry the kind of oil that lasts through every delay and every dark season. Teach me what it means to abide. Teach me to trim my lamp daily, to seek You beyond the surface, to crave You more than outcomes. Lord, I repent for every moment I allowed my lamp to grow dim. I repent for busying myself with things that distracted me from intimacy with You. I lay down the performance, the pride, the procrastination, and the pretense. Fill me again. Anoint me again. Let my heart beat with Yours. Let my spirit respond to Your whisper. Don’t let me miss the hour of visitation because I was not positioned in devotion. God, awaken in me a holy urgency. May I not sleep in this season of preparation. May I not be caught unready when You call. Give me discernment to see what others overlook. Give me grace to wait even when it seems like nothing is moving. Keep me in alignment with Your Word, with Your ways, and with Your will. Let my life be a lamp, and my obedience the oil that fuels it. Father, I ask for a deeper hunger, one that drives me into Your presence, not just for what You can give, but for who You are. Birth in me a cry that cannot be silenced, a pursuit that cannot be quenched. Help me to walk daily as if You could come at any moment, not out of fear, but out of deep love and longing. Thank You, Lord, that You are not looking for perfection but for preparation. You are seeking a people whose hearts burn for You. And I want to be one whose flame is still lit when the cry is heard. I say yes to the midnight call. I say yes to the refining oil. I say yes to knowing Your heart above all else. Let my relationship with You be more than what I know, it must be who I am. Let the light I carry come from time spent in the secret place. I declare I am not only a hearer of the Word but a lover of the One who speaks. I am ready, not because of my strength, but because I’ve stayed close to Yours. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! You Are Stepping Into Your Canaan With Confidence!

Joshua 1:3,6 (KJV) ~ “Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses… Be strong and of a good courage…”

Canaan wasn’t just a location, it was a manifestation of God’s faithfulness. It was the fulfillment of generations of promise, a land flowing with milk and honey, and the end of the wilderness road. But stepping into Canaan required more than physical movement, it demanded spiritual confidence. God told Joshua, “Every place your foot treads, I’ve already given to you.” That means the land was promised, but the possession was tied to their boldness to move forward.

Confidence in God is not arrogance. It is a holy assurance that what He has spoken, He will fulfill. But confidence doesn’t always feel natural. After wandering in the wilderness for 40 years, after watching the last generation die off in doubt, Israel needed more than encouragement, they needed divine empowerment to enter a land occupied by giants.

Canaan wasn’t empty. It had fortified cities, opposition, and resistance. But God had already declared, “I’ve given it to you.” Sometimes we forget that confidence is not the absence of obstacles; it is the presence of certainty, certainty in God’s Word, God’s plan, and God’s timing. When the Israelites stepped into Canaan, they had to walk into opposition with expectation. Your confidence won’t always make sense to those around you, but it must be rooted in the truth that God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19).

If He said it, you can walk in it. God’s command to Joshua was clear: “Be strong and very courageous.” Why? Because stepping into the promise is spiritual warfare. The enemy is always most agitated when you’re about to cross into something eternal. He wants to paralyze you with fear before you ever take your first step. But confidence is a weapon, one forged in the fire of past victories and polished by your history with God.

You don’t have to wait until everything looks easy to move with confidence. Like Caleb, you can say, “Give me this mountain” (Joshua 14:12). You’ve come too far to question the ground under your feet. Canaan is not a someday promise, it is set before you now. Your feet were made to walk in the places your faith once dreamed of. The confidence to step comes from knowing who sent you, what He promised, and why you cannot stay where you were.

This isn’t the time to shrink back. You’ve broken camp. You’ve crossed the Jordan. Now it’s time to plant your feet in the land and stand in authority. The confidence you need is already within you, it comes from the Spirit of God Himself. “The righteous are bold as a lion” (Proverbs 28:1). It’s time to walk like it. Speak like it. Possess like it.

Canaan is not just about you, it’s about legacy. It’s about your children and your children’s children. It’s about the generations coming behind you that will live in what you chose to fight for. Confidence isn’t selfish, it’s generational obedience. When you step forward with strength, you open a door for others to walk through with faith.

You were made for this. The same God who gave you vision is giving you the victory. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you (Romans 8:11). Don’t just tiptoe into the promise, step boldly. Step like you know who you are. Step like the land belongs to your Father. Step like heaven is backing you. You are no longer approaching Canaan; you are now occupying it. So go in and go confidently.

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You for bringing me to the edge of fulfillment. I thank You that I’m no longer wandering. I’m no longer in the wilderness of uncertainty. I’m not stuck in transition; I’m standing at the threshold of Canaan. And today, I choose to step into the promise with confidence. Father, Your Word says that every place the sole of my foot treads, You have already given me. So, I won’t second-guess the ground beneath me. I will walk with boldness, knowing that You’ve gone before me. I declare that fear has no grip on me. I renounce every lie that says I’m not ready, not worthy, or not able. I break agreement with small thinking, and I cast off every insecurity that tries to whisper doubt into my spirit. God, You told Joshua to be strong and courageous, and I receive that same command over my life today. Infuse me with spiritual strength and holy confidence. Let my posture reflect Your promises. Let my speech align with Your Word. Let my heart believe again that the land truly is flowing with milk and honey, not just for others, but for me too. God, I choose to walk forward, even if the path is unfamiliar. I know that what You start, You finish (Philippians 1:6). I will not let opposition stop me. I will not let the enemy intimidate me. I am covered in the blood, empowered by the Spirit, and appointed for this territory. I will walk into rooms with divine authority. I will make decisions led by Your wisdom. I will plant seeds of faith and reap the harvest of obedience. God, I don’t just want to cross over, I want to occupy. I want to settle in the land You promised. Let my confidence be rooted in Christ alone. Let me remember that You are my source, my strength, my strong tower. You’ve never failed me before, and I know You won’t start now. So today I arise. Today I step. Today I possess. I will walk in confidence, speak with clarity, lead with humility, and love with boldness. I carry the mantle of faith, and I won’t put it down. The land is mine because You said so. My future is secure because You’re in it. Thank You, Lord, for Canaan. Thank You for the strength to walk in and the confidence to stay. I step now, and I won’t look back. In the Strong, Matchless, Promise-keeping Name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! God Has Equipped You To Carry The Promise While You Cross Over!

Joshua 3:13 (NKJV) ~ “And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord… shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters… shall be cut off, and they shall stand as a heap.”

You’ve broken camp. You’ve refused to settle again in transition. But now comes the crossing, the moment when your next step must carry not only your faith, but also the weight of the promise God placed on your life. This is the part of the journey that tests trust the most, when you’re not only moving forward, but also carrying responsibility, purpose, calling, and sometimes even the burdens of others. Like the priests who bore the ark of the covenant across the Jordan, you are being asked to walk carrying something Holy.

The Ark represented the presence of God, the promises of God, and the testimony of His Covenant. The priests weren’t walking with empty hands; they were bearing the weight of God’s Word and His Will for a nation. You, too, are carrying something. You’re not stepping into promise as a lightweight, you’re stepping as a Glory Carrier, a purpose-bearer, a vessel through which others will be impacted. And because of what you’re carrying, your steps matter. Your obedience opens the way for others.

What’s powerful in Joshua 3:13 is that the waters didn’t part before the priests stepped in, they parted as they stepped in. That means God waited for faith to lead the way. Many of you want the waters to move first, then you want the certainty, safety, and signs. But in this season, God is saying, “Step while you carry it.” Trust while you walk. Believe while you bear the vision. Obedience unlocks what fear tries to block!

Sometimes, carrying the promise makes you feel overwhelmed. You may wonder if you’re strong enough, ready enough, or worthy enough. But the same God who gave you the assignment will give you the ability. The weight of the promise was never meant to crush you; it’s meant to consecrate you! The priests were sanctified before they stepped in because carrying God’s Presence requires a surrendered heart. Likewise, what you carry must be matched by how you consecrate.

You may not be leading a nation, but you’re influencing a family, a ministry, a calling, or a generation. And your steps, just like theirs, have ripple effects. The moment the priests’ feet touched the water, the flow stopped and stood up like a wall. That miracle wasn’t just for them; it was for the entire people of God to cross. Your walk will clear a path for someone else’s deliverance. Don’t be discouraged if your feet feel tired or your heart feels heavy. You’re carrying something eternal.

The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you (Romans 8:11), and He strengthens every step you take. God is not just asking you to walk, He’s empowering you to cross. He’s releasing miracles into motion through your movement. You’re not just crossing into a new place; you’re crossing with a new identity. You’re no longer a wanderer. You’re a possessor. You’re no longer camped in confusion; you’re clothed in calling. Every step is sacred. Every footfall is forward motion in the Spirit. You are walking into destiny, and heaven is watching your obedience with delight.

Even as the waters’ part, keep your eyes on what you carry. Stay focused. Stay consecrated. Stay yielded. There is still ground to cover, but you are not walking alone. The Lord of all the earth goes before you (Joshua 3:11). He leads the way through what seems uncrossable. And with every step, you’re not only crossing into the promise, but you’re also carrying the Presence of the Promise Keeper. You’re almost there. This is the step between moving forward and walking fulfilled.

Don’t stop now. Cross boldly. Carry faithfully. Step fully into the land with what God placed inside you, because what you carry is not just for you, it’s for those coming behind you.

Let’s Pray:
Father God, I Thank You for bringing me to this day of crossing. I thank You for the strength You gave me to break camp. I thank You for the courage to keep moving when I was tempted to settle again. And now, Lord, I ask You to equip me to carry what You’ve placed on me as I step into the waters. I acknowledge that I’m not walking empty-handed, I am carrying vision, promise, purpose, and prophetic weight. And I need You every step of the way. Father, Your Word says in Joshua 3:13 that as soon as the soles of the priests’ feet touched the water, the river parted. Lord, I declare today: I will not wait for the water to move, I will move in faith. I step out even when I don’t see the full path. I trust You to hold back every obstacle and to part everything that seems impossible. I believe that what I carry will not drown in the flood, it will walk through on dry ground. Strengthen me, Lord, to carry the promise with humility, with purity, and with reverence. Let my hands not grow weary. Let my heart not faint. Let me not be distracted by the current or the crowd. Keep my eyes fixed on Your glory and my feet firmly planted in obedience. Like the priests who stood until everyone crossed, let me remain faithful for the sake of those coming after me. Father, I consecrate myself again to You. Purify my motives. Cleanse my intentions. Fill me with Your Spirit afresh so that I don’t carry this weight in my strength, but in Yours. I know I’m not strong enough on my own, but Your grace is sufficient and Your power is made perfect in my weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). So I yield, I surrender, and I trust You with the crossing. Father, let my obedience be a key. Let my steps be a signal in the spirit. Let my faith shift the atmosphere. Let what I carry be a blessing to my family, my generation, and those I may never meet. Let the Ark in my arms release Your presence, Your glory, and Your breakthrough wherever I go. Today, I cross. Today, I carry. Today, I declare that I will not drop the promise or give up midstream. I will not go back. I will not delay. I will not question what You’ve confirmed. I will walk forward into the promise, carrying Your Word, Your Spirit, and Your will. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, I pray.  Amen and Amen!

Blessings…
Love, Dr. Jean

Good Morning Sunshine! Keep It Moving, Don’t Settle Again in Sight of the Promise!

Joshua 1:2–3 (NKJV) ~ “Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them… Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.”

There comes a moment in every believer’s life when God says, “Enough is enough.” Not out of frustration, but out of love. Not as rejection, but as redirection. That’s what happened in the land of Moab. God’s people had dwelt long enough at a mountain that once held meaning but no longer matched their mission. It was time to move.

On Day One, God called you to break camp and move forward. You have acknowledged that the mountain was no longer the place of promise. Now, on Day Two, God is instructing you not just to start moving, but to keep moving. The wilderness was the waiting room, Moab was the pause, but now you are standing on the edge of the Jordan, the boundary between the past and the promise. What’s before you is not just a land, but a legacy, not just territory but a testimony. To receive the inheritance, you must cross over.

Moab was never meant to be permanent, it was a place of pause, not a place of promise. God’s people were standing just short of inheritance, clinging to comfort when God was calling them to courage. They had the law. They had the memory of miracles. But now, they needed movement. “You’ve dwelt long enough at this mountain,” God said. It was no longer about waiting; it was about walking.

And so, they broke camp. They turned their backs on the mountain, the murmuring, and the wilderness ways. But the journey didn’t stop there. On the other side of that obedience came another challenge: Keep moving. God said to Joshua, “Arise, go over this Jordan.” In other words, don’t just leave where you were, step into where you’re called. It’s not enough to start the journey, you must finish it. Your faith needs feet.

This is where many get stuck again. You leave one place of delay only to settle again in another form of it. But the Lord is calling His people to consistent obedience, not occasional movement. Crossing over requires intentionality. It means believing that what God promised is still ahead, even if the path to it is unfamiliar.

You’ve broken camp, yes. But now you must cross over. This is the day to arise with intentionality and keep your eyes on the land, not the last stop. Don’t trade divine fulfillment for familiar footholds. The promise is not behind you. It’s not beside you. It’s ahead, so don’t stop until you’re walking in it.

The Jordan may seem wide. The path may seem uncertain. But just like Israel, you have a word from God and a promise that wherever your foot treads, He has already given you the land. Don’t allow the crossing to intimidate you when God has already guaranteed the outcome. This season requires persistent progress, not just initial obedience.

Every place your foot touches in faith is marked for possession. That means you can no longer afford to delay. You can no longer camp in transition, circle old fears, or rehearse old disappointments. The call is to move forward, not just emotionally or mentally, but spiritually and physically. The land is set before you, now walk into it.

I will not break camp only to settle again. I will cross over. I will walk, I will tread, I will take territory. I’m not circling mountains anymore; I’m stepping into promise. My faith has feet, and every step is a step closer to my inheritance. I’ve broken camp, and I won’t look back.

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You for speaking to me with clarity. You’ve stirred my spirit and awakened something deeper in me. I hear You, Lord. I’ve dwelt at this mountain long enough. I’ve circled discouragement, fear, comfort, and delay. But now I declare, I’m breaking camp, and I’m not turning back. Father, I thank You for meeting me in Moab, for shaping me, feeding me, sustaining me. But I recognize now that Moab is not my destination. The wilderness was my testing ground, but the promise is my territory. Just as You told Joshua, “Arise and go over this Jordan,” I arise today. I step forward in faith. Even if the waters don’t part until I step in, I will move. I believe You go before me. I believe You’ve already prepared the land. Father, let every place my foot treads be ground claimed for Your Glory. Let my steps be ordered and anointed. Let nothing pull me back to what You’ve called me to leave. I reject the urge to build a new tent in transition. I renounce the lies that say I’ve missed it, or that it’s too late. The promise still stands, and I will pursue it with obedience, boldness, and expectation. Father, when fear rises, remind me that You are with me. When fatigue whispers, give me strength. When doubt knocks, let faith answer. Let me not just be a hearer of Your Word but a doer, a mover, a walker, a possessor of everything You have spoken over my life. Let me cross every Jordan, tear down every Jericho, and occupy every promise. And Father, let others be encouraged by my movement. Let my journey inspire faith in someone who is still stuck. Use my obedience to be a signpost for breakthrough. I am not who I was. I will not stay where I’ve been. I am moving forward, fully, faithfully, and without fear. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen!

Blessings…
Love, Dr. Jean

Good Morning Sunshine! It’s Really Time For You To Break Camp!

Deuteronomy 1:5–8 (NKJV) ~ “On this side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying, ‘The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: “You have dwelt long enough at this mountain. Turn and take your journey… See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land…”’

I believe that I did this devotional or something close to it last year, but as I was preparing another devotional I heard do this one! God is speaking to you, you asked Him for help, so here it is, now put your feet into motion!

Moab was never meant to be a permanent address. It was a place of pause, not the place of promise. It represented a spiritual holding space, a wilderness waiting room, where God’s people dwelled just short of breakthrough. They were near Canaan but not walking in it. Close to inheritance but still clinging to hesitation.

How often do you find yourself in the same place? Comfortable in the familiar, even when the familiar is not bearing you any fruit. You feel safe in this transition, even when God is calling you into movement. The Word of the Lord came clearly through Moses: “You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.”

That mountain represented more than geography, it was a symbol of cycles, stagnation, and spiritual delay. Yes, God had moved at Horeb. Yes, Glory had descended, and laws had been written. But what was once a place of revelation had now become a place of reluctance. The mountain that once burned with God’s Presence had now become a spiritual resting place when in all reality it was time for advancement.

God is stirring the camp again. He’s awakening weary hearts and unsticking settled souls. The command is not gentle, it’s divine urgency: Turn. Take your journey. Go in and possess. There’s no ambiguity in the call. God doesn’t want you just to remember what He said, He wants you to respond. Your faith doesn’t just need a journal, it needs feet. It’s not enough to believe the promise; you must walk toward it.

You’ve been circling a spiritual mountain long enough, replaying the past, rehearsing the pain, and retreating in fear. But transition is not your final destination. It’s time to break camp, pack up the mindset of “almost,” and move forward with boldness. Deuteronomy 1:8 says, “See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess it.” It’s already set. It’s not up for debate or delay.

The only question is, will you step into it? There’s a danger in lingering too long in places God meant only for preparation. Just like Israel, you can get used to manna, wilderness rhythms, and survival-mode obedience. But God didn’t bring you this far to live off daily crumbs, He’s calling you to occupy a land flowing with promise. The land is not earned by performance but possessed by faith. You don’t fight for victory; you move from it.

It’s time to shake off the dust of delay and declare war on complacency. What God set before you require motion, not just meditation. What He has spoken must be walked out. “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:17), and so is revelation without action. You can’t dwell in Moab and expect to reign in Canaan. This is your movement moment! Step over. Step through. Step up! God has already gone before you. Deuteronomy 31:8 reminds us, “The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”

So, stop waiting for a perfect path. Step forward knowing that the promise is already paved. There is provision in your movement, strength in your stride, and Glory in your obedience. The time for waiting has ended. The moment for walking has come!

Transition is not your destination. Moab was only a hallway. The mountain was a meeting place, not a mansion. The land is already set. Your faith needs feet, so go in and possess what’s already yours, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You for being the God who leads, who speaks, and who prepares the way. Thank You for every mountain moment, for the encounters, the shaping, the correction, and the growth. But today I confess, I’ve stayed here long enough. I’ve circled fears that should have been conquered. I’ve tolerated delays that You never ordained. I’ve made transition my tent when You designed it as a tunnel. And now, Lord, I surrender. You said in Isaiah 43:18–19, “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing…”, I believe that Word. I believe the new is before me, and I receive it by faith. Give me the courage to break camp and the discernment to follow You even when the path is not fully revealed. Father, help me walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Let me move forward with bold obedience, knowing that every place You’re calling me into is covered by Your presence. Strengthen me to let go of old patterns, mindsets, and excuses. I renounce every spirit of delay, fear, shame, and unbelief. I cancel every lie that says I’m not ready or that I missed my moment. You make all things new. Father, just as You led Israel with a cloud by day and fire by night, lead me in this next season. Let my steps be ordered (Psalm 37:23). Let my hands be strengthened. Let my faith rise. Let my heart burn again. I believe that what You promised, and You are faithful to perform (Romans 4:21). Father, Thank You for not letting me die in the transition. I will live in the promise. Today, I break camp. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Blessings…

Good Morning Sunshine! You Were Knitted Together In Love!

Colossians 2:1-3 (NKJV) ~ “For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

The Apostle Paul’s heart cried out for a people he had never seen in the flesh. His concern wasn’t rooted in popularity or platform, but in spiritual unity, deep encouragement, and divine understanding. His burden remains relevant today, for the Church to become strengthened, united in love, and deeply rooted in the mystery of Christ. You are going to have to love each other.

When Paul wrote about believers being “knit together in love,” he wasn’t just describing social connection or friendly affection. He was describing a divine, Spirit-woven unity, a supernatural joining of hearts that reflects the very unity of the Trinity. Jesus Himself prayed in John 17:21, “that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You.” True unity is a powerful witness of Jesus Christ to a watching world.

In today’s divided climate, unity seems almost impossible. But Paul points you to the key: love! Plain and simple, Love! Not the shallow love of convenience or personal preference, but the agape love that comes from God and it empowers you to stay knitted together even when personalities clash and pressures rise. This kind of love is what strengthens the Body and positions you to receive the treasures of wisdom and knowledge found only in Jesus Christ.

Paul longed for the Church to not only be unified, but to also walk in the full assurance of His love and understanding, to be confident in what they know of God. This understanding doesn’t come through intellect or earthly reasoning. It is revealed through the Spirit. Proverbs 2:6 reminds you, “For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” And 1 Corinthians 2:10 declares, “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.”

So many people are searching today, for purpose, love, truth, healing, and direction. Yet Paul is telling you that the treasures that you are seeking, the answers, the healing, the hope, and the identity, are hidden in Jesus Christ, not from you but for you. They are revealed to the yielded heart, the hungry spirit, and the one who abides. Colossians 2:9 affirms, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Christ is the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15), and in Him you see, know, and experience the Father!

When you pursue understanding apart from Jesus, you may collect some facts, but you miss out on the truth that transforms you. But when you seek Him, you not only grow in knowledge, but you also grow in intimacy, discernment, and spiritual maturity. Ephesians 1:17–18 echoes this call: “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ…may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened…”

Let this be your prayer today: to be knitted together in love, grounded in Jesus Christ, and in the rich in revelation of who He is. The Church is not just a gathering of people; it is a tapestry of hearts woven together by God’s Grace. And the closer you are to Jesus Christ, the closer you come to one another!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You for the gift of unity and the treasure of divine wisdom found in Christ alone. Thank You that You have not hidden Yourself from us but have made Yourself known through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Today, I ask for a fresh revelation of who You are. Let me see beyond the surface and step into the deep things of God. Give me a heart that longs not just for answers, but for Your Presence. Father, knit me together in love with those around me. Heal what has been broken. Mend what has been torn. Let love be the thread that binds me to my brothers and sisters in Christ. Forgive me for the walls I’ve built and the offenses I’ve held. I lay them down at Your feet. Restore unity in my home, my relationships, my community, and the Body of Christ. Let me walk in the full assurance of understanding and not through my own prideful knowledge, but through humble revelation. Let my wisdom be rooted in the fear of the Lord. Guard me from deception. Make Your Word come alive in me. I declare that Jesus is the treasure I seek, and everything I need is hidden in Him. Father, I receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ. I ask You to enlighten the eyes of my heart. Fill me with discernment, clarity, and truth. And as I grow in You, let me use what I’ve received to serve and strengthen others. Let my life reflect the beauty of a heart knit together in Your love. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray,
Amen!

Blessings…
Love, Dr. Jean
