This season is an invitation from the Lord to step out of the shadows and into the light of your calling. The time for hiding and hesitation is over! It’s time to break free from the constraints of fear and doubt. It’s time to boldly embrace the unique calling God has placed on your life. Have you been hiding? The world needs your gifts, your voice, and your courage! In today’s message, may you be encouraged to come out of hiding, embracing and sharing the unique gifts that the Lord has graced you with!
Embrace What You Have
Stepping into your calling means recognizing that you have a unique purpose and set of gifts bestowed upon you by God. These gifts serve a higher plan for the Kingdom of the Lord. When you hide your talents or doubt their worth, you deny the world the blessings God has given through you.
Your gifts are not random! Your gifts have a purpose!
The time has come for you to fully embrace the power and potential within you. Share your gift with the world! The calling that the Lord has on your life and it can be used in many ways—whether it’s through acts of service, teaching, leadership, or even creative expression. It all matters to the Body of Christ.
Revive Your Dreams
What have you been hiding? Don’t be like the servant in the Bible who buried his talents…
The parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30 teaches us all a profound lesson on the responsibility of using our God-given abilities. In this story, we know that the master entrusted his servants with different amounts of money before leaving on a journey. As he returned, he rewarded the servants who invested and multiplied their talents but harshly rebuked the one who buried his talent out of fear. Let this story be a reminder that our gifts are not meant to be hidden or hoarded. They are intended to be cultivated and shared as a way to glorify God!
Many believers have, at some point, buried their talents or even spoken death over the seeds God has planted within them. Fear, doubt, and discouragement can lead us to abandon the gifts and callings God has placed in our hearts. However, just as Jesus called Lazarus from the grave, you can declare resurrection over the very dreams and talents that lie dormant within you! Speak life into the gifts God has given you! The resurrection power of Jesus is not just an event but a reality that you can tap into even now. This power can revive the gifts and dreams you thought were dead. Romans 8:11 tells us, “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” This same power can resurrect the dreams, visions, and talents within you that have been neglected or forgotten! Begin to declare resurrection over the things that God has placed on the inside of you that you’ve allowed to die. Come against the abortion of your gifts with the resurrecting blood of Jesus! Declare and remain confident that you shall live and see the goodness of the Lord according to Psalm 27:13.
What you carry can’t afford to stay hidden. It’s time to revive what you’ve buried!
You Have A Destiny!
There are some things that are already written in Heaven as it pertains to your life. The angels of the Lord record your every deed and bear witness to the impact that you make in the lives of others. Your life is not a series of random events but a carefully designed narrative that God has authored. You have a destiny! It is crucial to declare and come into agreement with what Heaven says and knows about you. This involves understanding and embracing the promises and prophecies spoken over your life. When you align with God’s Word and the heavenly blueprint, portals will begin to release the many blessings, harvests, gifts, and downloads that are in store for you like never before!
It’s time to receive the fullness of God’s plan for your life!
An Open Heaven
We are in a season where God is pouring out His blessings in unprecedented ways. An open Heaven is a time of favor, where God’s presence and power are available to His children. It is crucial to be spiritually alert and receptive during this time, so you do not miss the outpouring of His blessings. Aligning with heaven’s blueprints ensures that you are positioned to receive all that God has for you in this season. Be encouraged that the Holy Spirit is your helper and guide, empowering you to fulfill your destiny. As you come into agreement with what heaven says about you, the Holy Spirit will equip you with the strength, wisdom, and resources needed to succeed. You are not alone in this journey! The Father has provided His Spirit to ensure you can be all He has destined you to be!
How Do You See Yourself?
God’s desire is for His children to occupy the land in these times and walk in the authority that He has given us. The problem is, some of us choose not to tap into the potential of our calling because of our personal beliefs that hinder us from seeing ourselves how God sees us. We begin to shrink in stature, suppress our anointing, and hide our light out of fear and unworthiness. It is unworthiness that keeps us replaying the sins in our heads that God has already forgiven us for. It is unworthiness and the accuser of the brethren that plants seeds of lies into our faith and causes us to feel unusable by the Lord. It’s normal to sometimes feel the desire to simply retreat and hide away from the daunting opinions that people may have about us when we begin to share our gifts. But today, God is saying “not so!”. He needs you to get out of your own way and step into the anointing that He is outpouring in this season. He needs your answer to be “yes”. Surrender to the will of God and His purpose for your life.
God needs you to be so connected to what Heaven is saying so that you will have the wisdom and will be able to operate in the frequency and higher level needed to change the lives of others. It is quite impossible to operate without the anointing of the Lord. You will need His grace to operate through your life to be the beacon of change that He has called you to be. “The anointing is not just for you!” The anointing is a gift from the Lord that will enable you to break the chains off of others and set them free. God will give you the strength, grace, tenacity, anointing to bring to completion the assignment He has given you.
It’s time to see yourself through God’s eyes!
If you could see yourself as God sees you, you would recognize the incredible beauty and potential within you! God sees beyond your flaws and failures to the person He created you to be. May you move forward with confidence and courage, knowing that you are fearfully and wonderfully made!
A Season of Boldness
God is doing so much in the lives of His people and we must be careful not to miss it. To fully seize this moment, we must step out of our comfort zones and share our gifts with the world. There is a wealth of creativity and potential within the body of Christ, waiting to be brought to life. Books, journals, blogs, and other creative endeavors are waiting to be birthed.
If you have been living in the shadows, I encourage you to humbly repent for hiding from your gifts, passions, and from your own destiny! May you embrace this moment with courage and conviction, knowing that God is with you every step of the way. It is time to stop operating below your capacity. Don’t retreat, pull back, or cover your light even when others may be intimidated. You must stop shrinking and hiding the power of God and the light of Christ that rests upon you. Go forth and release the anointing of healing for those who are broken, hurting, and thirsting after a word from the Lord through you!
It’s time to go forth and occupy the land!
Amen.
