I was in the midst of making dinner last night and Lord dropped a Word in my spirit: "You ARE the blue print. Stop looking for it" A truth that instantly set me free and pulled me back into alignment. I'm sure as creatives in some form or fashion we have searched far and wide looking for the answer and the blueprint for what God has put on the inside of us. Maybe you're someone that God has called to be the first in your family to do something, first in your industry to create, first in your ministry to speak the way you do...point is YOU'RE FIRST. But here's the thing looking for the blueprint can do a few things: - Delay obedience. Most of the time we know that God has put something in our hearts to create but we instead spend time trying to find someone that has done the same thing. - Cause confusion. I believe the trick of the enemy is to lead us to so many voices that we can no longer hear our own or even worse...hear God's. - Increase discouragement. Looking for a blueprint often leads us down a rabbit hole we never find a solution for when the answer that you were looking for was inside of us all along. Be encouraged today in 1 Corinthians 2:9 Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him The very thing that you are looking for is bigger than you can imagine and has yet to exist in the earth because it is on the inside of YOU. So the next time you want to look for a blueprint remember: 1. You have what it takes to fulfill what God has called you to because God is at work in you. Philippians 2:13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to desire and to work for His good pleasure. 2. You are ONE of a kind. Psalm 139:13-14 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well" 3. God knew what He was doing when He called you to this specific thing. Jeremiah 1:5 AMP Before I formed you in the womb I knew you [and approved of you as My chosen instrument], And before you were born I consecrated you [to Myself as My own]; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.

As we continue to navigate walking into the new I want to remind you of one thing God is intentional and you are RIGHT where you are supposed to be. We've talked about the opposition that we can face walking into the new and one of things can be imposter syndrome, a feeling like you've somehow stumbled upon where you are by happen stance but THAT'S A LIE. The lies of the enemy are just that LIES and today I want to remind you that everything that you have gone and been brought through by the LORD has equipped you for your new. The trials. The tribulations. The ups. The downs. The late nights. It was all apart of the process. You are here in your new by God's grace and because He wants you to be here. You have been tried, tested and now have come out pure as gold. You can rest in the work that God has done in you and continue to do. (Philippians 1:6) And so as you continue through your week I want to remind you of this: 1. You were created for this. There is no lie, feeling or belief that can change that. 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. 2.You can be confident in the work the LORD has done in you. Philippians 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus 3. Failure is not an option because God is with and within you. Psalms 46:5 God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. When those doubts try to rise up, remember that God makes everything beautiful in its time and that includes you. Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. You are equipped. You are called. You are chosen by the most High. I love you all. Go out and be all that God has called you to be in Jesus name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiRxNe0mAwk

Lately the Lord has been ministering to me about the transition from old to new. As we all know that going into the new requires you to let go of the old. We can all be honest and say sometimes what we are required to let go of takes us by surprise because when God takes us into the new it requires new EVERYTHING. New Mindsets. New ways of doing things. New friendships. New relationships. And not everything we are called to let go of is bad it’s just not something that can be taken into the new season. So here’s what to do when the letting go catches you by surprise: - Surrender to the Lord. Tell Him how you truly feel and allow Him to work on your heart. - Believe. Believe that His way is better, His thoughts and ways are higher. He knows the way. Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts - Remind yourself that He is your shepherd. You have made this far in His guidance and you will continue  to be led correctly. Isaiah 43:19 Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland My encouragement to you today is to trust God in the new. The new way of doing things, the new dynamic of your relationship with Him, the new life. It’s not a trick or a game, God is simply inviting you to experience Him in a new way and THAT is what this 31 day activation is all about…seeing Him in a new way. My prayer is that you would stretch your faith to see Him even when it doesn’t make sense. Welcome to Your New. Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father we come to You today thanking You for You grace and mercy that has ushered us into the new. We pray Lord that You would give us eyes to see You in the new and strengthen us as we let go of the past. We submit before You anything of the past that maybe stopping us from fully walking into the new. We let go of our will so that we may rest in You. Your way, Your Will, and Your Word. Lord please give us fresh faith as we submit to the new. We trust that because Your grace has gotten us this far then it will continue into this new season and beyond. We worship You, stand in awe of You and thank You for the new. It’s in Jesus name we pray amen.

I wanted to take a moment to pause before we go into a new week to talk about vision. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 29:18 that without vision the people perish. The vision behind this 31 day activation is for us to leave not only with testimonies of God’s goodness but fresh revelation of who He is. & I believe through partnership with Him in our lives we open the door for that to happen. This activation is about giving God one faithful yes at a time. But first we must have vision for what we are saying yes to. Vision helps us do 3 things: 1. Stay focused on what God has called us to 2. Stay in alignment with God 3. Take intentional steps towards the promises of God I believe in this hour God is calling us higher into partnership with Him to build the life He desires for us but that can’t happen without vision. Think of this way: The vision is the destination you put into the GPS and God is the one telling you which turns to take. Writing the vision isn’t about having it all figured out it’s the faith to give God something to breathe on. Our job is to have the faith and know that God will direct our steps. Proverbs 16:9 A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them. When we lack vision it opens us up to distractions, compromise and even delay but we say NO to that. As we go into this week I urge you take time with Holy Spirit today to ask for fresh vision or be reminded of the vision He has given you. Write that vision down. Make a digital vision or prayer board. Do whatever works for you to make it plain. Having the vision in front of you keeps you focused and in alignment with our Heavenly Father and will give you the charge needed to go forth in FAITHFUL ACTION day by day. Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father I thank you for each person reading this devotional this morning. As we go into this new week I pray that you breathe fresh vision onto us. We ask that you remind us of the vision you have given us and forgive us for our delay in making it plain. As we move forward Lord help us to make it plain so that not only we would run when we see it but those that you have attached to our calling. We thank you for being the God of vision and may you increase our faith the think and believe bigger. We honor you with our plans and thank you in advance for directing our faithful steps in Jesus name amen.
