As I’ve said before, most, if not all of the words I share here are for me first and then I share with you as the Lord leads. This one is no different! God brought me back to Amos 9:13-15 about a month ago and let me know that this would be a season of restoration. I immediately believed it and began declaring it over my life, because if God said it, it is so! This word is not just for me, though. God is restoring His remnant, those that withstood the correction and sifting. Those who have been on their face and at His feet. Those who have come to repentance and remained through the process, only to come out better and more pure than before, ready and willing to be radically obedient and to go forth and do as He leads!
The tears, trials, and tests have not been in vain.
Welcome to your Amos 9:13-15 Season! 🌱
Speak it, believe it, and stand on it until you see it come to pass!
Grab some of our limited edition Amos 9:13-15 merch today.
Wear it as a declaration of God’s restorative power! Israel WILL be restored 🙌🏾💞
P.S.
If you haven’t repented, put away your idols, and turned to God, this message may not be for you today, BUT as long as you are living, there is still time to do what is right in the Lord’s sight. We don’t know the day or the hour that our souls will leave this earth or that Jesus will return, so TODAY is as perfect a day as any to give or resubmit your life to Christ. If that is you today, head over to this link for next steps. Say the prayer aloud and begin to let the Lord cleanse you and turn your life around. He is waiting for you with open arms!
Welcome home 💞

The full book of Amos
Amos 9:13-15 MSG
"Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree.
“Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel:
“They’ll rebuild their ruined cities.
They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine.
They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.
And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land.
They’ll never again be uprooted from the land I’ve given them.”
God, your God, says so.

Prayer of Salvation
Heavenly Father,
I have sinned against you! I repent of everything I’ve ever done that was against your will (you can also confess specific sins here). God, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die for my sins. I welcome you into my life and into my heart. Please cleanse me of all unrighteousness and lead me into all truth, Your truth. Please begin to work in me so that I may look more like You from the inside out. I lay down the life I have. and choose to pick up the life you have for me.
Thank you God for receiving me!
In Jesus’ name,
Amen 🙏🏾
Salvation Scriptures
John 3:16
God’s love & Jesus’ sacrifice
Romans 10:9-10
How salvation works
Luke 15:11-32
For those who strayed away and are coming back home
Who is the Holy Spirit?
John 14:15-17
“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 16:13
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
The Holy Spirit is the helper and comforter that Jesus left for those that have received salvation. The Holy Spirit helps us to know God’s Will by guiding us into all truth according to God’s Word and God’s divine plans for each of our lives (which are in line with the Word, of course). When we quench the Holy Spirit, we extinguish His influence over our lives in a particular area, or many areas. Because He is the one that was sent to lead us into all truth, we put ourselves in danger of being outside of God’s will.

Closing Prayer
Lord, we repent of all of our sins and iniquities against you.
We repent for quenching the Holy Spirit’s leading in our lives and allowing ourselves to be overtaken by sin.
Father, we thank you for sending Jesus to die so that we may have our sins forgiven.
Please forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteousness as you promised to do in 1 John 1:9.
God, we ask you to strip us of any idols we may have that stand against us following your will and your way. Please take your rightful place in our lives and help us to willfully submit to your perfect plans for us, plans to prosper us and not to harm us, to give us a future and a hope.
If there is anything that we love, but you hate, please take it away from us and give us the willingness to let go, for you said in your Word that it is You who worketh in us both to will and to do of Your good pleasure.
God, I prophesy over us today, that according to Ezekiel 36:24-27, You will
For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.
Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
Help us to be radically obedient to the leading of your Spirit within us.
We thank you for being such a loving God who cares enough not to want anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance.
Please receive our repentant hearts today and lead us in a new direction, along the path of righteousness for your names’ sake. Realign us to the plans you had for us before you formed us in our mothers’ womb.
Thank you for being our God and embracing us as your people.
We love you and we honor you, Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen!

I hope you’ve had a blessed week!
If you caught last week’s post and video, you know that we talked about praying more powerful prayers. If you missed it, I strongly encourage you to go back and check it out. I truly believe it will bless and sharpen you. This week, we’re continuing the conversation and discussing faith, a key ingredient needed to activate our prayers and to radically change our lives.
Last year, God asked me, “Do you truly believe what you say you believe?” & sadly, my answer was no…
God had asked me to step out of the norm in many ways, and though I was committed to the idea of following His voice and His way, the process definitely revealed some major weak spots in my faith. In today’s video, I share God's Word and what I learned along my own faith journey to bring insight on what faith truly is and how to grow your faith.
Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6), so where is your faith today?
If it’s not where it needs to be, or if you’re unsure, may today’s video set you forth on a faith journey of your own!
As always, I am wishing you a healthy & wholesome weekend!
Love you bunches 🍇

Closing Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for another beautiful day.
Thank you for your Word and your Holy Spirit who enables us to understand it.
Increase our understanding of you and your Word and our belief in who You are
Give us spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear so that we can more readily be led by your Spirit
Continue to guide us into all truth and help us to govern our lives according to Your perfect will and perfect plan for our lives
Thank you for being who you are, for choosing us before the foundation of the world, and for the plans you established for each of us before you ever formed us in our mother’s wombs.
Thank you for your plans to prosper us and not to harm us, to give us a future and a hope, an expected end.
Thank you for being a wonderful Father to each of us and for leaving us such a beautiful inheritance.
Lord, please continue to align us with your Will and your Ways so that we may be in right standing to receive and carry out all that you have for us here in the land of the living.
Lord, if there is anyone watching who does not yet know you, I pray that you would make yourself known to them in a way they’ve never experienced before. Give them a heart of flesh to receive you in the fullness of who you are, your goodness, mercy, forgiveness, correction, salvation, and especially your perfect love!
We love you, we honor you, and we praise you!
In Jesus’ name, Amen!
