*DISCLAIMER* I am dealing with my own stuff. I haven’t been in the mood for social media. Just not. I am still mourning and achingly grieving the loss of my mother and one of my aunts...December 2018 was straight “savage” for me. God dropped this in my Spirit so vividly and told me to encourage whoever NEEDS to hear this* I posted this as a status on FACEBOOK but as a co-blogger I am sharing on here.

Isn’t it funny how a bride to be is in utter shock when the proposal happens? Like (for the most part) she ALREADY knows it’s coming...that it’s on the way...she of course doesn’t know when but she’s assured because she’s either discussed rings with her future husband, gone ring shopping with him, etc....
...but when the moment actually comes [that she knew was EVENTUALLY coming...] she STILL rejoices, she cries, she laughs, she runs around, she’s caught off guard”, she’s shocked...she’s grateful...overjoyed...she usually responds as if she had no idea it was gonna happen...that’s exactly what FAITH looks like...it is the substance (the real physical matter of which a person or thing consists and which has a tangible, solid presence.) it’s a presence...
of things NOT SEEN. Faith is a “supernatural” presence of the unseen. Believing it’s going to happen...even though what you see isn’t in your view yet...isn’t in your possession...YET...takes and is faith. See the thing about a proposal...even after she sees the ring in its physical form it STILL takes FAITH for her to willingly say yes... (not yes to a ring) but to an UNKNOWN future called marriage...
....for this very reason faith without WORKS is dead...
...in 2019 God gently wanted me to tell somebody who wants to receive this at 1:58 PM on the 8th day in January that it’s gonna happen. But it’s up to you to BELIEVE that it’s gonna happen. You already know what He’s told you, you know His promises are yay and amen, you know that He has an expected end with a bright future for you...you’ve received prophetic words from 2000-up until now...so you know “it’s” coming....the manifestation of what you’re ALREADY expecting is about to unfold...on top of that God’s word is TRUE! He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that our finite minds can even ASK OR THINK....but when it comes...He wants you to respond like that of a soon to be bride...praise Him, rejoice, worship! Not because you deserve it—but because He saw fit to CHOOSE YOU...simply because you knew it was coming and you BELIEVED!
