Good Morning Gorgeous!

It’s a brand new day. A fresh new start!

All things are being made new in Jesus!

He has a plan for you.

He has a destiny for you.

He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you!

He desires to make you strong and healthy spiritually in Him so that you can access all of the things He has to release to you.

Part of our spiritual walk is learning how to pull heaven to earth just like Jesus prayed. “Let it be on earth as it is in heaven.”

So as you press into Jesus this year, He may highlight a space, a promise, or an area He desires for you to grow into.

He so often speaks a thing prior to it happening.

He spoke the promise of the promised land to Abraham hundreds of years before the Israelites inhabited the land.

Jesus told the disciples plainly that He would be crucified and raise again from the dead.

Jesus told them about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit before Pentacost.

And the Lord still speaks with His people!

Maybe even MORE so because the Holy Spirit resides on the inside of us! We just need to train up our spirit to slow down and listen to that still, small voice.

And as I pressed in, I received my Word for the year.

This verse in Isaiah 54 has been prophesied over me several times throughout 2023 and I feel ready to move ahead in it by the leading and equipping of the Lord.

My Words last year were surrender and sacrifice, and both of those I did again and again and again. I have say before the Lord this year and just bawled out to Him, “Here I am Lord. This is for You. I will keep going. I will keep going.”

I teach live on Facebook in a private group called Good Morning Gorgeous, and nearly every Wednesday, I battle some type of spiritual attack. And each week, I press in to the Lord and tell Him. “Strengthen me. Keep me. Fill me. Use me. This is my sacrifice unto you. May it be a pleasing aroma.” And each week, He strengthens me to hit that, “Go live” button and speak forth whatever He has laid on my heart to teach.

I am not sure what all He desires to expand in my life, but He has already shown me one area and I choose to be obedient and lean into it.

He has called me forward to begin teaching to a wider audience. Its scary, but I will not be moved by fear. I will build what God has equipped me to build for His kingdom.

With specific instructions given by Holy Spirit, I have been released to teach live on Facebook publicly the first Wednesday of each month. The rest of the Wednesdays will continue to be in Good Morning Gorgeous only.

So, here we go! The year of expansion and growth! But not in a worldly way. Not of my own strength or might, but by way of the Holy Spirit! What He wants. What He desires. How He desires it to be built. On His timeline. Its all about Him!

So expand I shall. But only at the direction of my Papa!!

What’s Your 2024 Word?! Please share it and I’ll comment back with a scripture art to bless you this year as you lean into Him!

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You Lord for instructions and guidance. Thank You Lord that You are continually speaking forth a needed Word. Thank You Lord that You care for us in our hour of pruning, molding, shaping, and expansion. And sometimes all at the same time.

In Jesus’s Name,

Amen.

Blessings!
