A faith message about hardship as preparation for your next purpose. God turns evil into good for those called to His purpose. February means purification, a time to shed old habits and become ready to receive a new divine assignment.
Hey guys, I just wanted to share with you something very encouraging that the Lord has been speaking to me, and it's about what you've been through. What you've been through in the past, what you are still going through, what you are coming out of— it was all to prepare you. Now, it doesn't mean that the Lord caused it, but the Lord always Uses what the enemy means for evil and turns it into good for his glory and the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. And we have been called according to his purpose. So if you feel like giving up, you feel discouraged, you feel like the Lord is not there, that he's not listening to you, that he has left you, that people have left you, and you feel completely lost and alone, and things are changing quickly in your life, and there's this disconnection from the things of the past, and you don't feel like you know your purpose and your calling anymore. It's all because he is taking you into something new. You are transitioning into your next season. And the month of February, actually, the word February means purification, to purify. And he wants us to purify ourselves, to get rid of things of old to become a new wineskin so he can pour new wine and he can do this new thing that he wants to do in our lives. I just released a word about being ready to run into our Kairos, being ready like a relay runner Ready to, you know, waiting for our teammates to pass the baton in our position. And I used to be a relay runner in middle school. I was extremely fast, so I was always the anchor runner. I always ran the anchor leg part of the race, the last part of the race. And I remember, you know, being at my post and my heart was beating and I was like, okay, okay, okay, let's go, let's go, let's go. And I was waiting for my teammate to pass the baton. And as soon as I saw my teammate approach, I would extend, you know, my arm, palm up, and I started to run. So I didn't want to lose the momentum. And as soon as I felt the baton in my hand, I just— Whew.
