Get Ready for the Impossible

Today I sit here so full of joy as I watch God’s word come to pass in my life!

Has God spoken a word over you that seems improbable or even impossible?

I challenge you to open your heart to the possibility as God begins to move in your life to shift things as well as you yourself into position for this very thing to come to pass.

Are you open to what seems impossible becoming your reality?

Welcome to another episode of the LOST FILES, brought to you by Monica Blakley 😏

Y’all I was so encouraged reading this but I was like, “ Girl what word though?”

So you know I had to find out 🕵️‍♀️ what on earth I was talking about. Along the way, I found this picture dated the same day as the LOST FILE 👇

What could jeans even have to do with this?

Sis, let me tell you...but first, you got your popcorn?

Soda?

Are you ready?

Alright, let’s get started then:

At this point we’d left everything behind and stood on God’s word to travel in His name. God said He would provide! And provide He did, sometimes in the most unexpected ways.

This time it was ....$5 jeans!

But that’s not what this blog

is about....

Confused?

Let me explain, not only did He fulfill his word to provide, He fulfilled a word He spoke over me that left me certain God had the wrong, Monica. There are lots of us out there, maybe He meant to send that word to the one down the street and not me 🤔

The year was 2017

Back in July 2017, Mr. David Jones started a prayer line. That prayer line radically changed my walk with God!

Every morning at 4 am God met us there, He worked through every person on the line and truly showed me what it meant to be the church operating as many parts but one body 🙌. There was healing, teaching, edification, and so much more! Love y’all PrayerLife Fam❤️

One morning a word was spoken over me that I would work with children. Anyone that knows me, knows I didn’t grow up around kids, heck I was the baby of the bunch lol. I didn’t babysit and honestly kids kind of scared me...they’re so honest and I was afraid they’d tap dance on my insecurities so I stayed far away from them.

After I got over the initial shock and denial, I had such an excitement in my spirit. Don’t get me wrong I was still terrified, but I was excited at the thought that God could take me of all people and do something so miraculous as this! It would truly be a miracle.

And a miracle it was...

As my husband tried on jeans, on December 19, 2018, I got the call offering me a position at our church...in the PRESCHOOL!

Y’all I was terrified and excited all at the same time!

But that’s not all, God didn’t just throw me into the deep end. No, He prepared my heart for this!

First: He spoke a word over me!

Second: He gave me the desire to volunteer at the church(which required GrowTack ).

Third: He opened my heart to children through the Early Childhood department.

Now you know I asked for like 50 confirmations on that and boy did God give them. The day finally came when we had to choose a department to volunteer in and I asked for just one more confirmation....and I lived to regret that! 🥴

On the last day of GrowTrack, each department came in to talk about what the volunteers do and to give us a tour. Welp, I thought I was going to run up out of that room, the moment Early Childhood began presenting.

I felt such a surge of emotion, it felt

like I was going to burst into tears wailing. My heart felt like was bursting open with love for children.

Sound farfetched?

Well, you get what you ask for and I asked for one more confirmation and in such a way that there’d be no mistaking it was God. And I got it, then begged for it to stop like my life depended on it! 😂

I took the tour with, you guessed it, Early Childhood....and what do you know, during that very tour I was told to apply for a position with the Preschool.

Would you be freaked out...I was...and I drug my feet on it because I was so focused on me instead of God and the miracle He was performing before my very eyes!

And a miracle did He perform sis!

I started as morning care, and 2-3 months later I was offered a position as a Teacher.

I took it but not without some kicking and screaming. I still just couldn’t see it! Everyone else around me saw what God placed in me but I couldn’t.

Heck, working with the kids was by far the HARDEST job I’ve ever done in my life! It truly strips you of your pride and reveals your own selfishness. You have to truly desire to help the kids grow and learn even when they mess up. It gives you a glimpse into how our Father in heaven cares for us. I saw myself in those kids just about every day and it made me fall on my face before God because I surely couldn’t love like Him without being renewed and filled by Him daily. Some days I went home and just cried, that’s how hard it was...But I wouldn’t give up that experience for anything in the world. Believe it or not, it’s helped me love y’all (people lol) more and in with a more Goldy kindness and gentleness!

God spoke it...He confirmed it....prepared my heart....and performed a miracle right before my eyes!

Is there something God’s spoken that seems too farfetched to come to pass? Has He begun ushering you into that thang?

Are you fighting it, sis? Are you believing the lie that it’s too far fetched, so much so that you make it a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Are you tired of my questions? 😂

STOP digging your heels in the sand sis...and JUMP! Take that leap He’s been beckoning you to. I promise it’s worth it!

Let’s pray:

God, we thank you that you are not a God that can lie, therefore we know if you’ve spoken it whether directly to us or through a person, then it shall come

to pass! We ask for forgiveness for digging in our heels as you beckon us to step

toward the “impossible“, out of fear that we’re unworthy, we’ll fail, or even that we heard you wrong.

I thank you for clearing out every ear right now, and I ask for you to plant that word in our spirit again right now Lord! Let us hear the gentle whisper of that word again. Help us to work and walk in alignment with you towards it God, instead of walking away in fear and doubt. I thank you that we cannot do these things you’ve spoken, on our own, that we NEED that miracle, that favor, and your wisdom! I thank you that we won’t be able to claim

the glory for ourselves Lord.

I pray that you not only reawaken that thing within us but that you plant seeds of the characteristics we need to fulfill it, God. Take us through the fire where necessary and fortify us, that we not reach it and fumble due to our character or lack thereof. Help us to withstand the refining God...it may hurt but we shall NOT die in this place.

And finally Lord, we thank you for the friends and family you’ve placed around us to support us as we go forth. Help us to take the meat they offer and spit out the bones. And ultimately to believe you over what we see, hear, or experience. We stand on the word you’ve spoken God. It is so and we proclaim here and now that we will walk in alignment with it and ultimately your will over our lives.

In Jesus name, amen!
