I’ve lived long enough to know there’s a difference between God being late and God not moving on my timetable. I have prayed prayers I thought He had forgotten. I have held on to God’s promises until my hands got tired.
I’ve had seasons where what God said and what I was seeing looked like two completely different stories.

Now, here’s what I know now…God has never needed my opinion nor my circumstances to agree with Him before He kept His word. I think of how Abraham had a promise and an old body and Joseph had a dream and a prison cell. David had an anointing and a cave. Moses and Israel had a Red Sea in front of them and a Pharaoh behind them. Each and every one of those situations looked like a pretty good reason for the promise not to happen. But God!

Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not a man, that He should lie…Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?”

Listen, people can make promises with every intention of keeping them and still fail you. Life happens and hearts can change. Circumstances change but God doesn’t make promises based on circumstances. He makes them based on His character and I’m so thankful His character doesn’t change.

So, right now…if you’re standing somewhere in the middle - in the “somewhere between” what He said and you seeing it come to pass - don’t mistake the waiting room for the final destination. Keep right on trusting.
Keep walking with Jesus and keep right on trusting and praying…even I f you have to cry while you’re believing, then go ahead and cry. Faith doesn’t mean you never wonder how He’s going to do it. Faith says, “I don’t know HOW, Lord…but I know WHO.”

Joshua 21:45 says, “Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken…All came to pass.” ALL. Not most…not the convenient ones…and not just the ones that made sense. ALL.

I think maybe somebody needs reminded today that the same God who kept His word then is still keeping His word now. The calendar doesn’t cancel the promise and the delay doesn’t delete the promise. What you see today does not get the final say over what God has spoken. He does. Period. If God said it, you can put your faith in His Words and Promises. God has never broken a promise yet…and He’s not about to start with you. Gloryyyy!

Hebrews 10:23 says, “He who promised is faithful.”, and right there is where I’m planting my feet. I may not know when or how. I may not understand what He’s doing in the waiting, but I know my God. Hey, I’d rather stand on a promise I haven’t seen yet than build my life around a bunch of circumstances that can change tomorrow. God’s abiding truthfulness and faithfulness has never depended on my ability to figure Him out. God, The Promise Keeper is still keeping His promises. The waiting may test your faith, but it will never change His faithfulness. God doesn’t forget what He said just because you haven’t seen it yet. The promise doesn’t expire just because the clock keeps ticking! God’s Word still has the final say. I tell you what…when God puts His name on a promise, hell itself can’t erase His signature…when God puts His name on a promise, hell itself can’t erase His signature. So quit reading the circumstances like they have the authority to rewrite what God already signed. Come on somebody!

Have you ever thought you walked into that valley you’re in all by yourself but it turns out…Jesus was already there.

You know, we spend a whole lot of time asking God, “Where are You?” when life falls apart. We say, “Where were You when they walked away?” or “Where were You when my heart broke?” We also may say, “Where were You when the door closed?” or “Where were You when I was crying so hard I couldn’t even pray?” Then, we also may say, “Where were You when everything I thought was safe suddenly wasn’t?”

Listen, I’ve lived long enough and I’ve been through enough to learn something…there has NEVER been a place my pain got to before Jesus did. Before I ever hit the valley, Jesus was already there. Before I ever sat down in the ashes, He was there. Before that phone call came, He was there. Long before the abuse, rejection, or betrayal had my name in its mouth, He was there. Long before I knew I was going to need enough grace to survive it…GRACE WAS ALREADY THERE. Grace, The Person - Jesus.

David said, “If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.” in Psalm 139:8 (NKJV) Shewww, glory! I want you to pick up on this: David didn’t say God would eventually FIND him there. He said, “YOU ARE THERE.” That changes something for me.

God didn’t abandon you in the place that broke your heart. He was already standing in tomorrow, holding what you were going to need when you got there.

Listen, we see the moment, but God sees the whole road. We see the door shutting but God sees what’s on the other side of it. We see what we lost but God He sees what He’s keeping us from losing next. Sometimes you won’t recognize His presence until you look BACK and realize how things that transpired truly should’ve taken you out…But God. It didn’t. You probably should’ve lost your mind but you didn’t. You might say, “I didn’t know how I was gonna make it but somehow…here I am. Honey, “somehow” has a NAME. HIS NAME IS JESUS.

So, please hear me…if you’re walking into something right now that scares you, hear this West Virginia preacher girl real good: You are NOT walking into a place where Jesus has never been.
Let’s look at a few scenarios here…
That diagnosis? He’s there first. That courtroom? He’s there first. That struggle after the circumstances? He’s there first. That empty house? He’s there first. That hard conversation? He’s there first. That new beginning you’re terrified to step into? Yep. Jesus is and was THERE FIRST.

Take note of this, found in Deuteronomy 31:8 (NKJV) that says, “The LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

So, maybe right now - your prayer doesn’t have to be, “Jesus, please go with me.” Maybe it can simply be…”Jesus, help me recognize You when I get there.”

Child of God, wherever tomorrow takes you, you’re not getting there before Him. He’s already there. And THAT means whatever is waiting on you tomorrow…Jesus was waiting on it first. No matter where you are, Jesus has been there. Talk with Him. As the old Hymn says, “Just a little talk with Jesus makes it right”…

Can we talk about something grown folks ought to understand? Pretending nothing ever happened is NOT an apology. You don’t get to hurt somebody, disrespect them, cross a boundary, break trust, betray them, then show back up acting normal and call that “moving forward.” That’s not reconciliation. That’s avoidance.

Jesus said, “If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.” - Luke 17:3 NKJV Jesus didn’t teach us to pretend it never happened. He made room for TRUTH, REPENTANCE, and FORGIVENESS. Grace doesn’t require us to lie about what happened and an apology isn’t, “Well, I’m talking to you again…” or “I’m making an effort to reach out to you…”.

This is what a REAL apology sounds like:
“I did this.”
“It was wrong.”
“I hurt you.”
“I take responsibility.”
“I’m sorry.”

Proverbs 28:13 says, “He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.” You know, you can forgive somebody without receiving the apology you deserved. Without that closure. Sure. Absolutely. However, reconciliation? Well, that requires truth. You cannot heal what everybody keeps pretending didn’t happen.

Please hear me on this one…Walking back into the room like you never broke anything doesn’t mean the pieces magically put themselves back together. Truly, the most spiritual words you can say aren’t “Praise the Lord. They are, “I was wrong and maybe I did not handle things the way I should have. Please forgive me.” Grace will cover what you confess but it was never meant to camouflage what you refuse to confront. Forgiveness released you from my heart, but repentance is what would’ve made you safe enough to come back into my life.

Just some words of wisdom from a woman who knows about this all too well. So forgive. Heal. Release it to God. Keep your heart clean.

AND…Don’t confuse somebody’s silence with repentance, their return with an apology, or their comfort with your closure. Realize you can forgive them without rewriting the story to make what they said or did okay. AND I can forgive you without rewriting the story making what you said or did okay. Grace changes hearts, it doesn’t erase discernment. Know the difference.

So, maybe this message didn’t hit you because somebody owes YOU an apology. Maybe it hit you because you owe one. Is there somebody you hurt, but instead of making it right, you just started talking to them again and hoped enough time would bury it? Go make it right. Not because they need your apology to heal…but because you need the humility to give it.

“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.”
James 5:16 NKJV

So here’s the question: Is there somebody’s name that came to your mind while you were reading this and is pride the only thing keeping you from saying, “I was wrong, and I’m sorry” or “I know I hurt you and I’m sorry”???

Sometimes the breakthrough we’re praying for is sitting on the other side of two words we’ve been too proud to say: “I’m sorry.” Don’t ask God to heal what pride won’t let you own. Freedom is when you can tell the truth about what happened without needing an apology to keep moving forward…but an apology is still the right thing to give when you know you were the one who caused the hurt.

Shewwww. If you can grab ahold of that…THAT is freedom.

The more I understand GRACE, the less interested I am in arguing with people and the more I’m disappointed in and disgusted by those who do. Religion without relationship can make people mean. You can know Scripture and still completely miss the heart of The One Who wrote it.

Some of the harshest people I’ve met can quote chapter and verse while showing very little patience or kindness. If your theology makes you cruel, combative, arrogant, and constantly looking for somebody to correct…well, something is wrong there…something is missing.

The Pharisees knew the Law, yet Jesus said, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” - John 13:35 NKJV

1 Corinthians 13:4 starts here: “Love suffers long (is patient) and love is kind...”

The deeper I go into God’s love and grace, the less I need to prove I’m right. You want to argue? You win. 😂

Why? Well, I’d rather look like Jesus than win a theological fight. Truth without love may win an argument, but it doesn’t reveal the REAL Jesus. Stop being a jerk. Stop being mean. Stop being controlling. Stop being fake and full of arguments and drama.

If your truth doesn’t look like Jesus, you may know the Scripture but you’ve missed The Author.

Stop trying to wear somebody else’s calling and assignment. Can we chat for a minute?…

Look, one of the quickest ways to become frustrated in ministry is to spend your life studying somebody else’s lane instead of asking God what He assigned to YOU.

Paul said, “But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.” -
1 Corinthians 12:18 NKJV

Read that again…
“AS HE PLEASED.”

God didn’t accidentally give somebody else their assignment and forget to give you one. So stop copying and competing. Stop comparing and stop trying to reproduce somebody else’s ministry, message, style, platform, assignment, or anointing. You can imitate somebody’s method, but you cannot inherit their mandate and anointing on their assignment.

David couldn’t fight Goliath wearing Saul’s armor. He had to take off what belonged to somebody else and use what God had already proven in HIS hands. (found in 1 Samuel 17:38–40)

Some of you need to take off Saul’s armor and stop riding somebody else’s shirttails and skirttails trying to get where God never told you to go. Honor people and learn from people. Celebrate people and collaborate when God connects you…but don’t become a copy of them.

Galatians 6:4 says, “But let each one examine his own work…” key stuff right here - Your own work, your own lane, your own oil from God, and your own obedience.

Please hear this - another person’s success is not evidence of your failure. There is room in the Kingdom for what God put inside YOU. You don’t have to push somebody out of their lane to prove you belong in yours. If you have to copy their assignment to feel called, you haven’t discovered yours yet. Stop chasing somebody else’s oil and start crushing the olives God put in YOUR hands. You weren’t called to be the next THEM. You were called to be the first YOU surrendered completely to Jesus.

So, find your lane and stay in your lane. Walk it all out with Jesus. What God genuinely anoints doesn’t need to ride anybody’s coattails to prove it has oil and purpose. You don’t need somebody else’s lane, platform, or oil when God already put an assignment on YOUR life…so stop being a copy of what He already anointed and appointed - become who He actually called YOU to be and what He actually assigned to YOU.

Love ya!
