During these past few weeks in quarantine I have been intentional about asking God to search my heart, purify me, and bring forth anything that was keeping me from being in a deeper relationship with HIM.
A lot of people say be careful what you wish for or in this instance pray for, but I have intentionally gone boldly before the throne room because I wanted deeper. I wanted, yearned and thirsted for more Jesus.
Even though I knew praying these dangerous prayers would have me walking through uncharted territory, I have to honestly say I was not expecting the powerful hit of the tsunami waves.
As God called me to deep this past week, I put some boxing gloves on, went into the ringand fought some things that have been secretly tucked away deep down in the crevices of my soul. To say He has turned my mourning into dancing is an understatement. There has been a transforming, resurrected, powerful restoration that has taken place and I cannot stop rejoicing and praising God for it.
Listen I am not saying it was easy. In fact it was the complete opposite. Walking through these tumultuous waters have broken me. I have cried gut wrenching tears. But through HARD work, and by the grace of God, HE has allowed me to grieve to a place where I can truly say I am set free.
I am not sure what you are walking through. I know we are all in a season of uncertainty and with being isolated and quarantined a lot of emotions can surface. I urge you to go before the throne room and seek His face, His presence. Get on your knees and pray those dangerous prayers. Ask Him to show you where you have been imprisoned by emotional chains. Ask Him to show you what grave clothes you are still wearing that need to be stripped away so you can dance freely in the garden. Ask Him to restore the areas, the years in your life that the locusts have stolen and eaten away.
He is a good God. He will show you the points of infection within your soul that have not been treated with proper antibiotics. He will gently remove the temporary band-aids you have placed on delicate wounds that are still oozing out in pain. He will make beauty from ashes. He will take the shattered pieces of your life and He will hold them all together in His hands as He creates a beautiful masterpiece. Nothing you have gone through will be dismissed, unheard or shamed. He will hold you close as He lavishes you with His all consuming love. Take the free gift of healing He is offering you. Allow Him to meet you in your darkest hour and restore what has been stolen.
He WILL meet you. He WILL redeem, resurrect and
restore you. Surrender it to Him and trust Him to lead you to your breakthrough.
Love y’all and praying you through. God is good

Joel 2:25-26, “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming [a]locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God,
