What people don’t tell you about saying yes to God is…

That TRULY following the Lord feels like running alone.

Not all the time, but especially in these transitional seasons and moments when things are birthing or changing.

You don’t have many people to call, if any.

And it can feel overwhelming because you are in uncharted territory both spiritually and personally.

In this time, many feel like they are being crushed and mashed into a pulp emotionally and mentally, and you can begin to feel TIRED before you even begin.

We tend to use religious language to pretend everything is all rosy and “I’m too blessed to be stressed,” when, really, your soul is under attack because you are EXPANDING and you are struggling to stay afloat.

This is where the cost of the call is the MOST COSTLY.

Where the tension of “I’m called and anointed,” and “I can’t breathe,” is real.

Yet you know there’s a STRETCHING for a reason because unless you completely rely and depend on God, you won’t step into your new mantle.

Unless you stop looking for a shoulder to lean on, you won’t lean into the Lord.

It doesn’t mean we don’t need people. We do. But we need the right people. Not wolves. Not secret saboteurs.

And we need JESUS above all else, His voice alone in critical FORMATION seasons.

And it’s not that we will be alone long term, but while you’re in the birthing room, God is making sure that you aren’t opening your doors to everyone and everything, so you are robbed again.

Because let’s face it, we have been here before, and many times we chose to yoke ourselves to the wrong thing to “cushion” the process.

But this time God wants to see you FULLY EMERGE…

And the Holy Spirit wants to be your Helper and Midwife in this season. Not man, during this time.

This message isn’t for everyone. But I know this will resonate with the ones who are in the tension of this set-apart moment and wrestling with it deeply.

Praying for you today…
