I am going to follow @Leslie Blackmon . The word God gave me last night was obedience. God doesn’t just want us to be hearers of His Word, but doers. He is looking for obedience to the assignments He has entrusted to us. Someone’s deliverance may be tied to your obedience. Don’t delay what God is telling you to do, and don’t allow doubt to hold you back. Remember, partial obedience is still disobedience. There is a blessing connected to your obedience, don’t miss it. Walk in faith. Move when He says move. Trust Him completely. “But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Scripture: I have given you every place where the sole of your foot treads… Joshua 1:3 Reflection: There are seasons when God calls us to ascend and move beyond fear, comfort, and limitation. The wilderness may have prepared you, but the promise still requires movement. When God spoke to Joshua, the territory ahead represented more than land. It represented: -Inheritance -Stewardship -Influence -Protection -Purpose -Spiritual assignment Territory was tied to major assignments that required obedience, faithfulness, peace, gratitude, and strength in God’s presence. Today, God is still calling His people to take territory, it starts in us: -In prayer -In leadership -In healing -In families -In purpose -In spiritual growth Sometimes the greatest territory is internal: -Renewed thinking -Exchanging circumstances for peace -Freedom from fear -Confidence in identity -Trust in God’s voice -Being strengthened in faith and obedience Do not fear the stretching season. God never calls you into territory without releasing the grace to sustain and strengthen you there. Anchored Thought: The territory God assigns is sustained by His presence and strengthened through obedience. Prayer: Father, strengthen me to walk boldly into every territory You have assigned for this season. Remove fear, distraction, and hesitation. Teach me to steward every assignment with wisdom, humility, gratitude, peace, and obedience. Let my life reflect Your presence wherever You send me. Strengthen my faith, renew my mind, and establish me firmly in every purpose You have ordained. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Declaration: I will not retreat in fear. I will walk boldly in obedience. I will remain faithful in every assignment God has entrusted to me. My mind is renewed. My spirit is strengthened. My faith is strengthened. My territory will reflect God’s peace, purpose, and presence. By faith, I will take the territory. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Activation: Take a moment today to identify one area where God is calling you to grow, lead, heal, or trust Him more deeply. Pray over that territory intentionally and ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and strength to steward it faithfully.

Last night, we were asked to think of one word that describes where we each are on our journey in this class and give a scriptural reference. My word was “strengthened”. There are so many other words that come to mind for me as well, like empowered, encouraged, and ready! However, I will focus on the word that was covered in prayer last night. My scripture reference is Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’” Our God Is our Strength! We have no need to fear what the future holds!

I woke up with so much JOY this morning and a grateful heart. Although we didn’t get a chance to discuss our lesson, God had a different plan and sometimes we have to learn to PIVOT and allow the HOLY SPIRIT to lead and guide us. THANK YOU @Jason Weathers for allowing God to use you and consistently showing up, encouraging us and speaking over our lives. GOD you are AMAZING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Family! Have an amazing and blessed day!

This is my heart’s cry! https://youtu.be/qpVW1k-PwI4?si=gut0sAgIv1U8Evcx
