Listen, don't kill me! I know Ien bin doing good. But I made a vow that I'd only write when I have something meaningful to say. And chileeeeeee! I have something to say.


I honestly feel as if I'm still going through a transformation spiritually. I know this is an ongoing journey and that's fine. But I sincerely thought I was almost at my destination. Boy was I wrong.


Let me start off with an encounter I had on Thursday. So there's a guy that usually pops in the office to sell lunch and desserts. Our conversations are short to say the least. But this day I noticed he was hesitant to leave. When I got back to my station I saw that he was still at the window. He looked at me and said, "are you a Christian? Do you have a relationship with God?" I answered yes to both questions. Then I followed up with are you? He smiled and said yes. He paused, then said I don't know how to word this. I said go ahead just say it. So, he relaxed a bit and started asking if I'm aware of the spiritual realm. And you know, of course. But I said I am actually. Now my antennas on high alert, I'm interested in what he's going to say. He went on to say, "you know sometimes we experience struggles and hardships that nobody sees? The bible says we wrestle not with flesh and blood but with spiritual wickedness in high places. Not every battle is physical some battles are spiritual and we have to fight them in the spirt realm." I nodded in agreeance with everything he said, cause sis knows! He left off by saying, "I don't know why but I just want to encourage you today to keep going." I smiled and said I really appreciate it. And as I walked back to my desk all I could say was okay God!


Let me rewind a bit. Monday morning I started a 3 day water fast. I usually do a water fast once a month but I haven't done one in a few months. Something was tugging on my spirit Sunday and I was like okay I have to. So everything was going great, until Wednesday morning, the last day of the fast. I literally had to drag myself out of bed. I felt light-headed and completely unlike myself. It was a struggle. I got to work late and everything. [Mind you what I call being late is actually me showing up on time, but I digress]. My co-workers were like they could tell something was off with me. But the night before this I asked God for a few things and to confirm that I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. This is why the encounter with chef made such a beautiful impact on me.


Now! Fast-forward to Thursday night. Did my prayers and went to bed. That night I had a very peculiar dream [saving that for another day] but after that scene played out I saw a bible. The scripture I thought I saw was Ephesians 8:22. When I woke up Friday morning, I looked up the scripture and of course Ephesians ain't gat no 8. lol. So, I was like it had to be chapter 6 then. Searched it and verse 22 read.

"whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts."

I'd usually go back to the top of the chapter and read the entire thing to get a full sense of what the scripture was saying to me. But because I knew the beginning of Ephesians 6 talked about children obeying your parents; I just read the verses under the subtitle "A Gracious Greeting". [I read NKJV]. And here's what it says:

A Gracious Greeting

21 But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you; 22 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts.

23 Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.


My flabber was definitely gasted. I said OKAY GOD!! So I went to tell my mudda and she asked did you read the whole chapter. And she had this smirk on her face. I was like no. That talking bout children obey your parents. That don't apply here. lolol. Thinking she trying to drop a hint or something [and she was]. lol. But she was aware of the conversation with the chef so she said keep reading and when I got to it my mouth dropped. Look what it says.

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [c]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

I nearly drop where I was. I was absolutely in awe. I knew the scripture cause we hear it all the time, but I never knew where it was found in the bible. I just knew God sent that guy to confirm to me that he never left me. Even when I left him. Like for him to say exactly what he said to me confirmed that he was sent directly to me.


And that brings me to a little life update... ... For the past few months I've been feeling heavy! Like HEAVY! Can't place my finger on why but I knew it was spiritual. I knew it had to do with my ascension. Come to think of it, the heaviness may have been a result of me not fasting as I should. It left me vulnerable to the attacks of the "enemy" [for lack of better words].


When I started writing I was very unsure of what the take away from this whole thing would be. But after re-reading it, I found it. Obedience! Both of us showed obedience to God. Chef's spirit told him he needed to say that to me. He was very unsure how I would take what he was saying but what he didn't know is that was everything I needed to hear! Had I not prepared my spirit with fasting, I wouldn't have been able to receive that message wholeheartedly.


This is a never ending journey but it's beautiful. As long as you commit to changing for the betterment of you!


It's a great time to be alive friend. Listen to that stillness in your heart and obey.


Much Love and Blessings.
