If you give the enemy an inch, he’ll take a mile… And then some.

““In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and 𝙙𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙡 𝙖 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭26‬-‭27‬ ‭NIV‬‬

𝗧𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱:

𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗘𝗜𝗩𝗘 and 𝗚𝗜𝗩𝗘 the wild forgiveness Jesus died and rose again to give you.

“And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭CSB‬‬

“But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from wrath.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭CSB‬‬

𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗧 and live differently. Your life is not your own. You were bought with a price… The blood of Jesus.

“Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬ ‭CSB‬‬

“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥 that you’re an heir. Protect your inheritance.

“For all those led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!” The Spirit himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children, and if children, also heirs  — heirs of God and coheirs with Christ — if indeed we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭CSB‬‬

“For those of you who were baptized into Christ have been clothed with Christ. There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female; since you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to the promise.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭27‬-‭29‬ ‭CSB‬‬

I had someone prophesy over my 2025, “𝘏𝘦𝘺 𝘈𝘯𝘥𝘪, 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘢… 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦.”

It’s a choice to sit and listen. To choose the “one thing” that will not be taken from us. As I went to Luke 10 and read the story of Mary and Martha again while I was on a vision retreat with my husband a few weeks back, I wept. I’ve read this story time and time again, but these words jumped of the page as a Rhema word, “…𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙃𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙.” Listening. Not speaking, asking, seeking, knocking… Listening.

I sensed the Lord whisper to my spirit, “𝘈𝘯𝘥𝘪, 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯.”

So when’s the last time you simply sat and listened at the feet of Jesus? Because this “one thing” will not be taken from you.

38 While they were traveling, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet and was listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.”

41 The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has made the right choice, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Luke 10:38-42

Finished my last trip on the road this year, and am now stepping into “The Year of HOME.”

I am so grateful for you… Liz and Charisse and loved co-laboring with you both in Hershey PA with the amazing woman of Penndel. You are both such a gift to that region and I cannot wait to see the fruit of this next season.

Tanya, thank you for being my travel buddy, assistant and lifelong friend who travelled through the night to get us to Jersey on time… And a detour through DC after delays, plus a million other little things. Love you forever.

Miriam, I cannot express to you what it meant to run the final lap of this year on the road with you. The words of life you spoke over me were unexpected and such a gift. Your girls and their testimonies of what’s happened since She Is Free in New York rocked me. I walked away from my time with you and your wildly ALIVE church (aptly named) so deeply grateful. Thank you for your generous words and life. I am forever changed because of my time with you all.
