“Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning,” (Luke 12:35)
We are living in a time where moments shift and seasons turn quickly. One phone call, one diagnosis, one divine appointment, one door opening, one door closing, and suddenly life looks different. Things can change in an instant.
In a world where so much can shift without warning, there is One who remains sure, steady, and unshakable. His name is Jesus Christ.
He is our anchor, our sustaining grace, our unfailing hope.
The Lord is gently, but clearly, drawing His sons and daughters close in this season. It’s not about panic or pressure; it’s about alignment and readiness. This isn’t the time to get spiritually comfortable or casual. This isn’t the time to drift, delay obedience, or put your calling on the shelf. God is inviting us to walk closely with Him, to stay sensitive to His voice, and to be faithful in the assignment He has placed in our hands.
This is the time to stay close to Jesus.
To hear Him clearly.
To walk with Him daily.
To surrender fully and boldly to fulfill your God-given assignment.
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12)
Life is a vapor.
“Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” (James 4:14)
We don’t have time to waste on distractions, comparisons, or the opinions of people. We don’t have time to apologize for being chosen. You were not created to blend in; you were created to ignite, to influence, to shine, and to move in Kingdom purpose.
When the Holy Spirit prompts you, lean in and respond.
When God says “Go,” don’t overthink it, step out in faith.
When you feel that stirring in your spirit, choose obedience without delay or hesitation.
When you obey God now, you set yourself up for Heaven-sent momentum later. And when God decides to shift your life, He doesn’t wait for approval or gather opinions; He speaks, He commands, and everything aligns.
The same Jesus who turned water into wine, who opened blind eyes, who raised Lazarus, He is still working suddenly miracles.
And when He moves suddenly in your life, I pray you are found ready, faithful, focused, and surrendered.
I pray that each person reading this will experience the suddenlies of God!
Stay close. Stay prayed up. Stay yielded.
Your assignment matters.
Now is not the time to draw back; now is the time to step up and step out.
Now is the time to walk in purpose with power, purity, and Holy Ghost fire.
This is your moment.
This is your mandate.
Now is the time, IGNITE.
Father, in the Name of Jesus, awaken our hearts to Your voice and our calling. Remove every distraction, every fear, every delay, and every weight that keeps us from walking in our divine assignment.
Holy Spirit, ignite fresh fire in us. Keep us close, anchored, surrendered, and obedient. Let us be found faithful when You move suddenly in our lives. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
If you are reading this and you haven’t surrendered your life to Jesus, or you know you need to rededicate your life, today is your day. Things can change in an instant, and the greatest change happens when Jesus comes into your heart.
Jesus taught that to enter the Kingdom of God, we must be born again, made new through faith in Him. If you're unsure what that means or you’ve never made that decision, I encourage you to connect with a mature believer who can help guide you into that life-changing step and walk with you into baptism and new life in Jesus Christ.
I encourage you to get planted. Find a Bible-teaching, Holy Spirit-filled church family that will pray for you, love you, disciple you, and walk alongside you.
Pursue Jesus with your whole heart and watch Him transform your life.
