10% HAPPENS 90% RESPONSE
Matthew chapter 6
Today we are walking in: 10% HAPPENS 90% RESPONSE
1 Chronicles 28:9
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind H3824: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
MIND
Today we look to the word-MIND-H3824 lebab--mind, knowledge, thinking, reflection, memory

And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind H3824.
The prophets proclaim..................
Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind H3824 is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Ezekiel 11:5
And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the Lord; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind H3824, every one of them.

Then shall his mind H3824 change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
The writings bear witness..........................
1 Chronicles 22:7
And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind H3824 to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

Job 34:33
Should it be according to thy mind H3824? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
10% HAPPENS 90% RESPONSE
My friends, hear me carefully. Life is not determined by what happens to you, but by how you choose to interpret and respond to what happens to you. You see, we live in a world filled with situations, circumstances, and surprises. But none of these truly define who you are. It is not the event that breaks you. It is your reaction to the event that builds or destroys your peace.
I call this the 90/10 law of life. Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond. And if you do not understand that law, you will live your whole life blaming the ten percent while losing mastery over the ninety. You will spend your energy trying to change the storm instead of commanding your spirit in the storm.
You cannot always control the environment around you, but you have been given divine power to control the environment within you. That is where your authority lives. That is where your dominion begins. You were never created to be a slave to reactions, to emotions, to anger, or to fear. You were created to govern them.
Peace is not a gift that life hands to you. Peace is a decision that you enforce every day. The people who live unshaken are not those who escape the storms. They are those who learn to stay calm in the middle of them. When everything around you seems to fall apart, you have two options: react like everyone else, or rise like you were designed to.
Because leadership—true leadership—begins with mastering yourself. Many spend years trying to control people, situations, and outcomes, but that is the domain of frustration. You cannot control every situation in life, but you can always control your spirit in it. And that is where your victory lies.
It is not in controlling the winds, but in adjusting your sail. It is not in silencing the thunder, but in learning how to stand in the rain without fear. That is why it is written, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” Because your outer life is nothing more than a reflection of your inner reaction.
If your heart is ruled by peace, your environment will follow your command. But if your heart is ruled by chaos, even peace will feel like war. Every day you are faced with ten percent of things you cannot predict. Someone disappoints you. A plan collapses. A door closes. A word wounds you. But what you do with that moment determines everything else.
The question is not what happened. The question is who are you when it happens. The reaction reveals the ruler. Your response exposes your level of emotional government. Life was never meant to manage you. You were designed to manage life.
That is what Elohim spoke to Adam in the beginning: have dominion. And that dominion was not only over animals and land, but over self, over attitude, over reaction, over the mind, over the tongue. Because until you can rule yourself, you cannot rule anything else.
So begin to look at every situation not as an enemy, but as a mirror. When trouble comes, do not ask, “Why me?” Ask, “What in me is being revealed?” That is the language of maturity. That is the conversation of kings and queens. Because the purpose of life is not to remove pressure, but to refine your peace under pressure.
The storm does not make the sailor. The storm proves the sailor.
So remember this truth. Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond. And if you can govern your reaction, you can govern your destiny. The calmest person in the room is the most powerful person in the room. The one who controls their emotions controls their atmosphere.
That is why emotional control is not weakness. It is wisdom. It is leadership. It is spiritual maturity. And before this teaching is complete, you will understand not only why you must master your reactions, but how to do it step by step, principle by principle, until peace becomes your default and calm becomes your character.
Because the Kingdom of Elohim is not in panic. It is in power. It is not in reaction. It is in rule. And you were created to rule.
Now hear this carefully, because this principle changes how you face every challenge in life. The Kingdom of Elohim is a government of principles, not emotions. Elohim does not respond to feelings. He responds to laws. And one of those laws is the principle of reaction.
Your response determines your result. Every reaction is a reflection of who is truly ruling your heart. When someone speaks harshly and you immediately strike back, that moment exposes your master. If anger controls you, anger rules you. If peace governs you, peace leads you.
Your reaction is your testimony in motion.
It is written, “He who rules his spirit is mightier than one who takes a city.” Because ruling your inner world—your emotions and thoughts—is harder than conquering a nation. You can command armies and still be defeated by your temper. You can manage a company and still be a prisoner of your reactions.
The real battle is not outside of you. It is within you.
When the Ruach Ha’Qodesh governs a person’s heart, peace becomes their strategy. They do not fight every battle. They choose which ones deserve their breath. They do not answer every insult. They understand that silence often speaks louder than words. They do not panic when others do. They know storms are temporary, but principles are eternal.
Remember Yahusha asleep in the boat while the storm raged. The disciples reacted to the waves. Yahusha responded to the wind. Same storm. Different spirit. Peace is not the absence of storms. It is mastery within them.
He asked them, “Why are you afraid? Where is your faith?” In other words, why are you reacting to what you have already been given authority over?
Reaction comes from emotion. Response flows from understanding. Reaction is impulsive. Response is intentional. Reaction is temporary power. Response is lasting influence. Reaction is human. Response is divine.
When you understand this, you stop handing your peace to other people’s behavior. No one can steal your peace. You must surrender it. Emotional control is not optional in the Kingdom. It is essential.
Elohim does not promote those who cannot manage themselves. Promotion in the Kingdom is based on stewardship. Can you manage your temper? Can you manage criticism? Can you manage pressure?
Every irritation, delay, and disappointment is an exam in emotional government. When someone disrespects you, heaven is not watching them. Heaven is watching you.
So rule your inner atmosphere before you try to influence the outer one. Your reaction reveals your citizenship. If peace governs you, the world will see your King in your calm.
Your reaction is your reputation.
The battlefield of life is the mind. That is where reactions are born. That is why it is written, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” If the mind is not renewed, reactions will reflect the old nature.
Event. Emotion. Thought. Reaction. Outcome.
Emotionally mature people insert a pause. That pause is power. You cannot always control feelings, but you can always choose response. Peace is not a miracle. Peace is management.
Emotions are servants, not masters. When the mind leads, emotion becomes strength. Wind gives movement, but the rudder gives direction.
You are not called to react to what you see. You are called to respond from what you know.
Every emotional seed produces a relational harvest. Anger produces distance. Calm produces trust. Peace produces authority.
Renew your thoughts and your emotions will follow.
You cannot control the weather, but you can control your climate. You cannot control people, but you can control what their actions do to your spirit. That is your ninety percent.
Peace is found in managing what Elohim entrusted to you.
Yahusha stood before Pilate calm and unshaken, because He knew the limits of authority.
You cannot stop storms, but you can stop them from entering you.
Dominion is not power over others. It is power over self.
Now understand the laws of reaction management.
Pause. Never react in emotional heat. Silence is wisdom in motion.
Perspective. Ask, will this matter in a year?
Principle. Respond from values, not feelings.
Purpose. Protect your assignment from emotional sabotage.
Purposeful people do not descend into distraction. They remain focused.
Leadership is ruling self before ruling others. Temperament builds trust. Calm carries authority.
Joseph ruled his spirit, so Elohim trusted him with power.
Yahusha forgave while suffering, because love governed His spirit.
Peace is leadership influence.
Now apply this truth.
Pause. Process. Principle. Proceed.
Words steer emotions. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Speak after peace, not during fire.
Silence can be strategy.
Boundaries protect peace. Guard your heart with diligence.
Not every voice deserves access.
Even Yahusha practiced boundaries.
Peace is preserved through discipline.
You were created to manage emotion, not be managed by it.
You were born to carry peace.
The Kingdom of Elohim within you is righteousness, peace, and joy through the Ruach Ha’Qodesh.
Rule that Kingdom well.
Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond.
And when you master that ninety percent, you will walk through every storm with calm authority—not as a victim of life, but as a vessel of heaven.

WHOEVER CONTROLS YOUR FOCUS CONTROLS YOUR FUTURE

WHOEVER CONTROLS YOUR FOCUS CONTROLS YOUR FUTURE
My friends, hear me carefully. Your mind is the greatest territory on earth, not the oil fields of the Middle East, not the diamond mines of Africa. Your mind is the most valuable land in creation. Because whoever controls that territory controls you. That is why life is not fought on the outside first. It is fought on the inside first. The greatest war you will ever fight is not against demons, not against people, not even against circumstances. It is the battle for your focus because whatever captures
your focus will soon capture your feelings. You see, every relationship is an exchange of influence. Every voice that enters your life is a potential government over your thoughts. The moment you allow a voice to dominate your attention, that voice begins to write legislation in your soul. It passes laws about who you are, what you deserve, what you can become. And if you don’t guard the gate of your mind, manipulation will sit on the throne of your destiny. That is what the enemy understands. He doesn’t need to chain
your body if he can convince your mind. He doesn’t have to steal your blessing if he can make you believe you don’t deserve it. Because once your belief system collapses, your behavior will follow. Now listen, control always begins with permission. The narcissist’s weapon is not strength, it’s strategy. They don’t overpower you. They overpersuade you. They make you question your perception until you surrender your truth. They turn confusion into conversation until you start defending
lies you never believed. But I came to tell you, no one has authority over your destiny unless you grant them mental access. You can choose today to change the locks. You can revoke their permission to live rentree in your head because the mind is the control tower of your life. If you guard the tower, the enemy cannot hijack the flight. You see, the narcissist’s playbook is simple. If I can dominate how you interpret reality, I can control how you respond to it. They don’t just attack your
peace, they attack your perspective. Because perspective is the parent of peace. Lose your perspective and you’ll trade your authority for approval. That is why the scripture says, “Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it flow the issues of life.” Guard your mind, guard your emotions, guard your atmosphere. Because the battle for your peace always begins in the theater of your thoughts. So before we talk about their traps, before we dissect their strategies, you must first understand
the principle of control. Whoever controls your focus controls your future. But I came to tell you, no one has authority over your destiny unless you grant them mental access. You can choose today to change the locks. You can revoke their permission to live rentree in your head because the mind is the control tower of your life. If you guard the tower, the enemy cannot hijack the flight. So before we talk about their traps, before we dissect their strategies, you must first understand the principle of control. Whoever
controls your focus controls your future. That is why the renewed mind is your greatest defense. The renewed mind doesn’t react to flattery or fear. It stands secure in truth. It says, “You may touch my circumstances, but you cannot touch my center.” Remember this today. The battle is not against the person, it’s against the pattern. You don’t fight people. You fight the mindset that gives them power over you. And when your mind is renewed by truth, every manipulator loses their
weapon. This is the battlefield of control and victory begins not when they change but when you do. Now hear me carefully. Every manipulator, every narcissist, every deceiver understands one ancient principle. Control begins with reflection. They do not create, they copy. They build influence by mirroring your desire. So before we talk about their traps, before we dissect their strategies, you must first understand the principle of control. Whoever controls your focus controls your future. Because the truth always
outlives illusion. This is the battlefield of control and victory begins not when they change but when you do. That is the mirror of manipulation. They feed your ego to starve your identity. They use praise as a leash and attention as a form of control. Remember this, flattery is not friendship. It’s fishing. When someone flatters you without accountability, they are not feeding your spirit. They are feeding your need. And whoever feeds your need will soon lead your decisions. But a renewed mind cannot be fooled by
mirrors. Because when your identity is established in truth, imitation cannot impress you. Listen, Yah never created you to find identity in reflection. He created you to find identity in revelation. The difference is powerful. Reflection shows you what others see. Revelation shows you what Yah said. The scripture declares, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made.” That means your value is original, not borrowed. You don’t need someone else’s admiration to confirm your worth. You don’t need
validation from the same mirror that distorts you. Remember this, flattery is not friendship, it’s fishing. When someone flatters you without accountability, they are not feeding your spirit. They are feeding your need. And whoever feeds your need will soon lead your decisions. Now listen, control always begins with permission. The narcissist’s weapon is not strength, it’s strategy. They don’t overpower you, they overpersuade you. They make you question your perception until you
surrender your truth. They turn confusion into conversation until you start defending lies you never believed. But I came to tell you, it is time to repossess the key. You are not a mirror image of manipulation. You are a divine image of creation. Your worth was not negotiated by opinion. It was declared by purpose. When you depend on someone’s opinion to feel secure, you give them the password to your peace. And once they have that access, they can edit your confidence whenever they please. Do
not allow another person’s projection to become your perception. Their reflection is not your reality. When you see yourself through their eyes, you shrink to fit their insecurities. But when you see yourself through Yah’s word, you rise to match your destiny. But I came to tell you, it is time to repossess the key. You are not a mirror image of manipulation. You are a divine image of creation. Your worth was not negotiated by opinion. It was declared by purpose. When your mind is renewed, guilt loses
its grip. And when guilt loses its grip, peace returns to its rightful place as the ruler of your inner world. Because the truth always outlives illusion. This is the first trap, the mirror of manipulation. And once you expose it, the rest of their strategy begins to crumble. This is the first trap, the mirror of manipulation. And once you expose it, the rest of their strategy begins to crumble. The narcissists understand that the easiest way to dominate your will is to distort your memory. They twist your past to question
your perception. And once your perception is confused, your discernment becomes dull. They make you doubt the very truth you live through. So the next time guilt knocks asks it this is this conviction from truth or condemnation from manipulation. If it comes from fear, reject it. If it comes from love, receive it. Do not allow another person’s projection to become your perception. Their reflection is not your reality. When you see yourself through their eyes, you shrink to fit their insecurities. But when you
see yourself through Yah’s word, you rise to match your destiny. But hear me, peace that cost you truth is not peace. It’s slavery. Yah never designed love to demand blindness. Love without clarity is not love. It is controlwearing perfume. At first that reflection feels like connection. They seem to understand you completely. They agree with every word you speak. They celebrate your vision. They echo your passion. And before long you begin to trust the reflection more than your discernment. Many believers confuse
forgiveness with permission. Forgiveness releases them from your heart, but permission keeps them in your head. You can forgive what happened without allowing it to happen again. Mercy does not mean access. Grace does not mean agreement. The Bible says there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear because fear has torment. Whenever you find yourself walking on eggshells to keep someone calm, that’s not love. That’s fear disguised as devotion. Yah did not call you to be a peacekeeper at
the expense of your sanity. He called you to be a peace maker. And making peace sometimes means ending patterns that pretend to be relationships. The narcissists understand that the easiest way to dominate your will is to distort your memory. They twist your past to question your perception. And once your perception is confused, your discernment becomes dull. They make you doubt the very truth you live through. The difference is who you believe. When guilt becomes your motivator, truth becomes your victim. And if guilt
becomes your master, peace will always feel like rebellion. The narcissists understand that the easiest way to dominate your will is to distort your memory. They twist your past to question your perception. And once your perception is confused, your discernment becomes dull. They make you doubt the very truth you live through. When guilt becomes your motivator, truth becomes your victim. And if guilt becomes your master, peace will always feel like rebellion. The difference is who you believe. You must reclaim your emotional
courtroom. Stop letting your abuser play judge, jury, and attorney in your own mind. The verdict has already been written by Yah. You are free. And once the truth declares you innocent, no lie can sentence you again. That is how you break the cycle of guilt and gaslight. Not by fighting louder, but by thinking clearer. Not by proving your story but by protecting your sanity. This is called gaslighting. It is when someone convinces you that your pain is an exaggeration. Your boundaries are overreactions
and your worth is conditional. They tell you you’re too sensitive when they’ve just been too cruel. They say you are overthinking when you’re only remembering correctly. Now hear me closely cuz this next trap is subtle and many never recognize it until their piece is gone. It is called the drama triangle. The stage where pain becomes performance. Every manipulator is an actor. Every narcissist is a playwright and their favorite theater is your mind. They live to direct the drama of reaction to pull your emotions like
strings on a puppet until you dance to the rhythm of their dysfunction. You see, drama is not just chaos. It’s control disguised as confusion. Because as long as they can keep you reacting, they never have to take responsibility. When they can make you angry, they can call you unstable. When they can make you cry, they can call you weak. When they can make you defend yourself, they can call you guilty. That is why you must learn this truth. Silence is not weakness, it is wisdom. The Bible says that when
Yahusha stood before Pilate, he answered nothing. Not because he had nothing to say, but because he refused to participate in the enemy’s performance. Sometimes the greatest power is not in the argument you win, but in the peace you keep. When the narcissist throws bait, they want a bite, not for clarity, but for chaos. They don’t want resolution. They want reaction. And every time you react, you feed the fire that burns your own peace. Let me teach you something important. Reaction is emotional reflex, but
response is mental leadership. Reaction gives away control. Response reclaims it. Reaction is born from emotion. Response is birthed from understanding. A renewed mind doesn’t respond to every provocation. It chooses its battles wisely. Some of you have lost too many nights of sleep arguing with actors. You’re trying to explain truth to someone who profits from misunderstanding it. You’re trying to heal with people who feed on hurt. But hear me. You cannot heal in the same environment
that made you sick. Peace is not found by winning debates. Peace is found by leaving the stage. Walk off the platform of their drama. Refuse the invitation to another performance. Because every time you react, you renew their script. But when you remain calm, you rewrite the ending. When your mind is renewed, guilt loses its grip. And when guilt loses its grip, peace returns to its rightful place as the ruler of your inner world. You must understand this principle. Not every invitation deserves attendance.
Just because someone calls you to conflict doesn’t mean you must RSVP with your peace. When they text you to provoke, don’t reply, PRAY. WHEN THEY SHOUT to control, don’t echo elevate. When they perform pain to pull you in, don’t react. Rise. The narcissist cannot function without an audience. Their power dissolves in silence. The moment you stop feeding their chaos, their kingdom crumbles. And suddenly you realize they never had power. They only had participation. You see, the renewed
mind refuses to act in someone else’s script. It writes its own story. You are not a character in their play. You are the author of your piece. You are not their opponent. You are their lesson. When your mind matures, you no longer chase explanations. You pursue elevation. You stop asking, “Why did they do this to me?” and start declaring, “What is Yah teaching me through this?” Because every conflict reveals your level of control. When the narcissist throws bait, they want a
bite, not for clarity, but for chaos. They don’t want resolution, they want reaction. And every time you react, you feed the fire that burns your own peace. So today I say to you, step out of the drama triangle. You don’t belong in their performance. You were created for purpose, not participation in chaos. Let them act. Let them accuse. Let them pretend. You stay still. You stay anchored. You stay renewed. For the word declares, the Lord will fight for you. You need only be still. Stillness is not silence. It’s
strength under control. And when your mind is disciplined enough to stay calm in confusion, you have already won. That is the power of a renewed mind. It disarms every manipulator without saying a word. Some of you have lost too many nights of sleep arguing with actors. You’re trying to explain truth to someone who profits from misunderstanding it. You’re trying to heal with people who feed on hurt. But hear me, you cannot heal in the same environment that made you sick. So today, I say to you, step out of the
drama triangle. You don’t belong in their performance. You were created for purpose, not participation in chaos. Let them act. Let them accuse. Let them pretend. You stay still. You stay anchored. You stay renewed. When you begin to see through the lies, their control begins to collapse. When you start guarding your peace, their power starts to shrink. So what do they do? They try to make the silence feel like your loss. They hope the quiet will become your prison. But listen, beloved, solitude is not isolation. It is
incubation. You see, the renewed mind refuses to act in someone else’s script. It writes its own story. You are not a character in their play. You are the author of your piece. You are not their opponent. You are their lesson. You see, when the wrong voices leave your life, the right vision begins to speak. Sometimes Yah will remove company so you can hear clarity. The noise had to die so your identity could live. You thought they left you, but heaven was making room for truth. The narcissist uses
silence to control you, but Yah uses silence to restore you. Their silence was manipulation. Yah’s silence is maturation. Because in quiet seasons, you stop hearing applause and start hearing assignment. You stop chasing validation and start embracing revelation. When the manipulator leaves, don’t chase them. Thank Yah for the evacuation. The same exit they use to abandon you, Yah will use to advance you. Stop seeing absence as rejection, start seeing it as redirection. Listen carefully. Forgiveness is not the same
as amnesia. You don’t have to forget what they did. You only have to refuse to let it define you. Forgiveness is eviction. It removes their residency from your mental space. You are not healing for them. You are healing for your future. You see, dependency is the enemy of destiny. The narcissist builds dependency. So, you forget your ability. They make you feel like you can’t breathe without them. That you can’t succeed without their presence. But I came to tell you the breath in your
lungs never came from them. It came from Yah. The same Yah who sustained you before they entered your life will sustain you after they exited. The renewed mind reframes isolation as instruction. You start to say this is not loneliness. This is leadership training. This is not rejection. This is relocation. This is not abandonment. This is alignment. Let Yah teach you the power of divine solitude. For in solitude, he rewrites your thinking. He detoxes your emotions. He strengthens your discernment. When no
one is around, he becomes the only voice you can depend on. It was in isolation that Joseph dreamed. It was in isolation that John received revelation. It was in isolation that Paul wrote letters that changed the world. And it will be in your isolation that Yah reintroduces you to yourself. So do not fear being alone. Fear losing yourself to keep company. The only loneliness that destroys is the loneliness of leaving your purpose. The Bible says, “He leads me beside still waters.” Still waters represent peace,
not people. Sometimes he leads you away from noise so you can rediscover your sound. Sometimes he separates you from the crowd so you can hear his voice again. You are not forgotten. You are not forsaken. You are being formed. Yah isolates before he elevates. He hides what he intends to honor. He separates before he sends. So the next time someone leaves you, don’t panic. Prepare. Because isolation is not the end of your story. It is the incubation of your next season. And when your mind is renewed to see solitude as strategy,
you will never be afraid of silence again. For in that silence, your spirit will grow stronger, your emotions will grow calmer, and your destiny will grow clearer. That is the truth. The narcissist never wants you to discover that you do not need them to be whole. You only need truth to be free. The Bible says, “He leads me beside still waters.” Still waters represent peace, not people. Sometimes he leads you away from noise so you can rediscover your sound. Sometimes he separates you from the crowd so you can
hear his voice again. You are not forgotten. You are not forsaken. You are being formed. Yah isolates before he elevates. He hides what he intends to honor. He separates before he sends. The narcissist’s goal is not your affection. It’s your definition. They don’t just want your attention. They want authorship. They want to become the narrator of your story, the editor of your work, the interpreter of your identity. They will erase your confidence, edit your boundaries, and replace your
name with their label. But let me remind you, Yah never outsource authorship. He said, “Before I formed you in your mother’s womb, I knew you. You were defined before you were damaged. You were approved before you were attacked. You were called before you were criticized.” Now, hear me, beloved, because this is the enemy’s final and most dangerous trap. If he cannot control you through mirrors, guilt or drama, if he cannot break you through isolation, then he will attempt the most
devastating tactic of all, the hijack of identity. The identity hijack is not an attack on what you do. It is an attack on who you believe you are. It is when a person or even a past pain begins to rewrite your internal definition. It is when you start saying maybe I’m not enough. Maybe I deserved it. Maybe I am what they said I am. That my friend is the moment the enemy rejoices. Because once you stop questioning the lie, you start living it. The identity hijack works because it feeds on ignorance. If
you don’t know who you are, someone else will gladly define you for their convenience. That is why the first step of deliverance is not escape, it’s education. You must know your origin, your ownership, and your assignment. You are not what happened to you. You are not what they said about you. You are not the mistakes you made nor the approval you lost. You are what Yah spoke before time began. Now listen, the mind is the birthplace of identity. Every lie that was ever believed was first a thought that was never
challenged. That’s why the Bible doesn’t say be transformed by new friends. It says be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Because if your mind is renewed, your emotions will recover and your identity will rise again. You must reclaim authorship of your internal conversation. Stop repeating the names they gave you. Too emotional, too much, not enough. Those labels are not truth. They are traumawwearing vocabulary. Tear off the stickers they place on your soul. Write your real name again.
Chosen, worthy, redeemed, anointed, capable, whole. That means no human has the authority to rename what Yah already declared finished. No relationship has the right to rewrite what heaven already recorded. When Yah renews your mind, he does not erase your past. He redeems it. He takes the same pain they used to weaken you and turns it into wisdom to strengthen others. The scars that once embarrassed you become the sermons that empower you. Because a renewed identity is a resurrected one. It has already
been through death and it refuses to die again. Every time you replace a lie with truth, your identity gains ground. Every time you forgive, your soul reclaims territory. Every time you declare, “I am who Yah says I am,” the hijack loses power. WHEN THE NARCISSIST SAYS, “YOU ARE NOTHING WITHOUT ME.” REMEMBER, YOU EXISTED BEFORE they arrived, and you’ll flourish after they’re gone. Your purpose didn’t begin with their praise, and it won’t end with their absence. Replace their
narrative with divine vocabulary. Stop rehearsing pain. Start proclaiming purpose. When the narcissist says, “You’re nothing without me.” REMEMBER, YOU EXISTED before they arrived, and you’ll flourish after they’re gone, your purpose didn’t begin with their praise, and it won’t end with their absence. Renew your mind daily. Feed it truth until lies starve to death. Rebuild your routines around your destiny, not your damage. Every morning, ask, “What would a healed person do
today?” Then do that. Hear me. The enemy’s greatest fear is not your prayer life. It’s your self-awareness in Hamachiach. Because a believer who knows their identity cannot be manipulated, cannot be controlled, and cannot be broken. When your mind is renewed, you no longer live reacting to their lies. You start responding to your calling. When your mind is renewed, you no longer chase validation. You walk in revelation when your mind is renewed. You no longer beg for acceptance. You become the
standard of authenticity. So today I declare over you your mind belongs to truth. Your emotions belong to peace. Your identity belongs to Yah. And the one who tried to rewrite your story has lost the pen forever. You are not their creation. You are Yah’s reflection. And when your mind is renewed, no manipulator can define, distort, or destroy what heaven has already decreed. This is how you win the battle of identity. You don’t fight for it. You remember it. You don’t chase it. You align with it. And when you do, the
hijacker must flee because ownership has been restored. Now that your mind has been free from the hijack, the question becomes, how do you stay free? Because freedom without discipline becomes another kind of captivity. You don’t stay renewed by emotion. You stay renewed by habit. That is why Yah said be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Notice it does not say by the renewal as if it were a one-time event. It says renewing a continual process, a daily blueprint for transformation. The renewed mind is
not born in a moment. It is built in repetition. You must train your thoughts the same way an athlete trains their body through consistent, intentional, and disciplined exercise. So, let me give you the renewal blueprint, the divine structure that keeps your mind aligned with truth and your emotions submitted to peace. Step one, daily guarding. The first law of renewal is guarding the gate. You cannot renew what you refuse to protect. Every day before the world speaks, decide what has permission to enter. So
let me give you the renewal blueprint, the divine structure that keeps your mind aligned with truth and your emotions submitted to peace. Guard your inputs. If it feeds fear, block it. If it awakens truth, embrace it. You become what you continually consume. Garbage in, garbage out. Truth in, transformation out. The renewed mind is like a garden. Weeds don’t need permission to grow. They only need neglect. Step one, daily guarding. Every renewed believer must become their own thought auditor throughout the day.
Pause and ask where did this thought come from? Because not every thought that enters your mind deserves to stay. Your eyes are gates. Your ears are gates. Your mind is a gate. You must ask yourself each morning, what am I allowing into my spirit today? If the enemy can destroy you, he will distract you. And distraction is the slow death OF DESTINY. YOU CANNOT have a peaceful life with an undisiplined thought life. Peace is not the absence of problems. It is the result of disciplined perception.
Step three, emotional fasting. Some of you need to fast not from food but from feeling. Go one day without replaying pain, one week without gossip, one hour without comparison. You’ll be surprised how light your soul becomes. Fasting detaches you from the emotions that feed negativity. It teaches your mind to rule your mood instead of obey it. When you starve destructive emotions, healthy ones begin to grow. The Bible says, “Take every thought captive to the obedience of Hamachiach.” That means your thoughts are
soldiers. They must report to your spirit for inspection. If a thought doesn’t align with truth, arrest it and replace it. Don’t entertain what drains you. Step four, purpose journaling. A renewed mind needs reflection. Take time each evening to write not what you lost, but what you learned. Document your growth. Review your progress. Record your revelation. Journaling is not for memory. It is for mastery. When you write truth, it takes root. When you read truth, it takes shape. And when you
live truth, it bears fruit. Your journal becomes your map, the record of your renewal journey. Step five, word meditation. Your mind is like soil. Emotions are the fruit. If you want peace to bloom, you must stop watering anger. Meditation rewires your neural pathways with truth. You start thinking divine thoughts instinctively. Under pressure, your reflex becomes revelation. You cannot renew your mind without renewing your source. Every mindset requires a reference point. And for the believer, that reference is the
word of Yah. Meditation is mental nutrition. The Bible says, “Meditate on it day and night and you will have good success.” Step six, daily declarations. Words create worlds. Every morning, declare what Yah says about you until your emotions bow to your confession. Say, “My mind is guarded. My heart is stable. My peace is permanent. My purpose is alive. My emotions are my servants, not my masters. Declarations are not magic. They are maintenance. You are reprogramming your inner dialogue to
agree with truth. Eventually, what you say becomes what you see. Step seven, community of renewal. No mind stays strong in isolation. You need a circle that speaks truth louder than your triggers. Surround yourself with people who challenge your thinking, not those who flatter your feelings. The Bible says iron sharpens iron. That mean dull company creates dull convictions. If they keep you in gossip, they are killing your growth. If they keep you accountable, they are watering your destiny. Declarations are not magic. They are
maintenance. You are reprogramming your inner dialogue to agree with truth. Eventually, what you say becomes what you see. Declarations are not magic. They are maintenance. You are reprogramming your inner dialogue to agree with truth. Eventually, what you say becomes what you see. Remember this, a renewed mind doesn’t fight darkness. It simply turns on the light. And the moment light enters, confusion leaves. That is the power of daily renewal. It transforms chaos into clarity and fear into faith. Now, hear me, sons and
daughters of purpose, because renewal was never meant to end with you. Renewal is not the destination. It is the foundation for dominion. Yah does not renew minds so that people can merely survive. He renews minds so they can rule. Dominion means to govern, to manage, to influence, to bring order where chaos once lived. It begins not in government, not in business, not in systems, but in THE GOVERNMENT OF YOUR OWN THOUGHTS. You cannot rule cities until you rule emotions. You cannot lead nations until you lead
your mind. You cannot command storms until you have commanded your spirit. The Bible says, “He that ruleth his own spirit is mightier than he that taketh a city.” That means mastery of the inner world is greater than conquest of the outer world because every external victory begins as an internal discipline. You see when your mind is untrained your emotions will run your kingdom. But when your mind is renewed your spirit will reign. The renewed mind thinks like its creator stable, strategic and sure. It does not panic in
pressure. It perceives purpose through it. Dominion is not arrogance. It is alignment. It is not control over people. It is control under purpose. When you think like Yah thinks, you will not abuse authority. You will distribute order. That’s why Yahusha never chased status. He carried stability. They called him names yet he never reacted. They tested his patience, yet he never lost perspective. He could sleep in a storm because his mind was already anchored before the wind began. Dominion begins when you can rest while the world
shakes. The narcissist wants to rule others because they cannot rule themselves. They manipulate because they are mentally unstable. But the child of the kingdom leads through peace, not pressure. Peace is the proof of power. If you can stay calm when others are chaotic, you are already in charge. Now listen, clarity is the currency of dominion. When your thoughts are clear, your decisions carry weight. People will begin to follow you, not because you shout louder, but because you think deeper. Authority flows from alignment.
When heaven can trust your mind, it will promote your influence. You were never designed to live beneath your emotions. You were designed to sit above them. That’s why scripture says you are seated in heavenly places with Hamachiach. That means your perspective is higher than the problem. Stop living at the level of reaction. Rise to the level of revelation. Every manipulator loses power when you stop reacting and start reigning. When they throw shade, you shine. When they gossip, you grow. When
they lie, you lead. Cuz your mind is no longer a battlefield. It’s a throne. You are not HERE TO BE TOSSED BY FEELINGS. You are here to train atmospheres. Wherever you go, peace should follow you. Wherever you speak, clarity should emerge. Wherever you lead, purpose should multiply. That’s dominion. Dominion is when your emotions obey your principles and your principles obey your purpose. You stop living by moods and start living by mission. You wake up every morning declaring, “I am here on
assignment. My peace is my weapon and my wisdom is my crown.” So my friend, the next time the enemy tries to invade your mind, remind him this territory is under new management. You have the license of heaven and the authority of truth. You no longer need permission to think freely, to walk boldly, to speak wisely because your mind has become the throne of divine order. Let me declare this over you now. You will lead without fear. You will love without manipulation. You will think with precision,
speak with clarity, and live with stability. Your dominion begins within. And when the mind is ruled by truth, no circumstance can overthrow it. For the kingdom of Yah is not meat or drink. It is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. That is dominion. That is maturity. That is freedom. Now my friend, we have walked through the battlefield, the mirrors, the guilt, the drama, the isolation, the hijack, and we have arrived here, the place of victory. When you follow this blueprint, your
renewal becomes a lifestyle, not an event. You wake up with focus, you think with clarity, you respond with wisdom, you rest with peace. Because a disciplined mind doesn’t panic in storms. It perceives purpose through them. So my friend, the next time the enemy tries to invade your mind, remind him this territory is under new management. You have the license of heaven and the authority of truth. You no longer need permission to think freely, to walk boldly, to speak wisely because your mind has become the throne of
divine order. And now hear this. You have not just survived manipulation. You have mastered it. You have not just escaped the trap. You have exposed it. You have not just reclaimed your mind. You have risen in dominion. Now my friend, we have walked through the battlefield. The mirrors, the guilt, the drama, the isolation, the hijack, and we have arrived here, the place of victory. And now hear this. You have not just survived manipulation, you have mastered it. You have not just escaped the trap,
you have exposed it. You have not just reclaimed your mind, you have risen in dominion. A renewed mind thrives in the company of truth tellers. But victory is not a feeling. Victory is a position. It begins the moment you decide, I will not think like a victim anymore. Because a victim asks, “Why did this happen to me?” But a victor asks, “What is this teaching me?” A renewed mind thrives in the company of truth tellers. Now, my friend, we have walked through the battlefield, the
mirrors, the guilt, the drama, the isolation, the hijack, and we have arrived here, the place of victory. You are not a prisoner of your emotions. You are the pilot of your destiny. You are not the victim of what they said. You are the vessel of what Yah is saying. You are not surviving. You are ascending. So lift your head. Straighten your shoulders. Breathe again. You are stepping out of the cage of fear into the command of faith. You are walking away from what hurts you and walking into what heals
you. You are leaving the battlefield with wisdom, not with wounds. You can say now like Joseph said, “You meant it for evil, but Yah meant it for good.” Because the renewed mind turns betrayal into breakthrough. It turns pain into power. It turns offense into opportunity. That’s why the enemy feared your renewal. Because once your mind changed, his control ended. He cannot manipulate a person who knows who they are. He cannot intimidate a soul that is anchored in truth. He cannot destroy a
heart that is disciplined in peace. I will not live from my pain. I will live from my purpose. And when the mind is ruled by truth, no circumstance can overthrow it. For the kingdom of Yah is not meat or drink. It is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. That is dominion. That is maturity. That is freedom. Your thoughts will align with truth. Your emotions will serve your mission. Your peace will outlast the storm. Your purpose will outweigh your pain. And your mind will remain the gate
of heaven’s power on earth. You are walking out of this season not as a victim of manipulation, but as a mentor of renewal. What once controlled you will now consult you. What once wounded you will now work for you. What once silenced you will now amplify your message. Your thoughts will align with truth. Your emotions will serve your mission. Your peace will outlast the storm. Your purpose will outweigh your pain. And your mind will remain the gate of heaven’s power on earth. So lift your
head, straighten your shoulders, breathe again. You are stepping out of the cage of fear into the command of faith. You are walking away from what hurts you and walking into what heals you. You are leaving the battlefield with wisdom, not with wounds. So stand tall, child of purpose. The battlefield is behind you. The crown is before you. And the same Yah who renewed your mind will now release your destiny. You are no longer the victim of manipulation. You are the victor of renewal. Now let this mind be in you which was also in
Hamachiach Yahusha. Walk in that mind. Live in that truth. Guard that peace. And let your renewed mind lead your renewed

Affirmation. I represent the kingdom. Therefore, I will not give the world mediocrity.
Key scripture. QOLASSIYM (Colossians) 3:23. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for YAHUAH.
Affirmation. I represent the kingdom. Therefore, I will not give the world mediocrity.
Now go forth and let your life become the evidence that Elohim does all things with excellence. Be valuable, not just available.
Listen carefully.
In the kingdom of Elohim, being precedes doing. You were created to function out of identity, not activity. You were created to manifest who you are, not to manufacture what you think will make you matter.
But look around today. We are competing, comparing, copying and calling it ambition. We chase likes, chase titles, chase people, chase relevance. And in the process, we have lost identity. Cuz when you don’t know who you are, you will always try to prove what you’re not.
You see, the world has taught us to hustle for what heaven designed to hand us. We have confused activity with productivity and movement with progress. You can be busy and still be going nowhere. You can be surrounded by opportunity and still be outside of assignment.
Hear me, child of purpose. The enemy doesn’t need to destroy you. He only needs to distract you. If he can keep you chasing everything, you’ll never become anything.
Because purpose is not found in pursuit. It’s found in position.
That’s why YAHUAH said to Abraham, “Walk before me and be blameless.” Not run ahead of me. Not chase after me. Just walk. Walk in alignment. Walk in obedience. Walk in purpose.
Because when you’re walking in step with Elohim, what belongs to you cannot outrun you.
Some of you have been chasing relationships that were never meant to last. Chasing jobs that were never meant to fulfill. Chasing applause that was never meant to sustain. And YAHUAH says be still because what you chase you lose. But what you become you attract.
You don’t need to run after visibility. You need to develop capacity. You don’t need to beg for platforms. You need to build foundation. When you carry divine content, Elohim will create divine context.
That’s why I came to tell you today, stop chasing what you can see and start cultivating who you are meant to be.
Because success in the kingdom is not measured by how far you go, but by how aligned you are. It’s not how fast you move, but how faithful you remain.
When you stop running after people, you start walking with purpose. WHEN YOU STOP CHASING OPPORTUNITY, you’ll start standing in authority. When you stop pursuing affirmation, you’ll start possessing revelation.
So the question is not what are you chasing. The real question is who are you becoming?
Because in the kingdom of Elohim, becoming is greater than achieving. And until you learn to rest in who you are, you will never manifest what you’re called to do.
Child of destiny, hear this. You are not behind. You are being aligned. You are not forgotten. You are being formed. You are not delayed. You are being developed.
Stop chasing. Start becoming.
Because when you become what Elohim intended, everything assigned to your name will find its way to your life.
Every human being was designed to be before they ever began to do.
But the tragedy of our culture is that we have reversed heaven’s order. We have built a generation of performers, not discoverers. We have people doing things they were never designed to become.
Every human being was designed to be before they ever began to do.
But the tragedy of our culture is that we have reversed heaven’s order. We have built a generation of performers, not discoverers. We have people doing things they were never designed to become.
That’s why the very first words Elohim ever spoke about humanity were not commands. They were identity. He said, “Let us make man in our image after our likeness.” That was being. Then he said, “Let them have dominion.” that was doing.
Image came before influence. Likeness came before leadership. Identity came before assignment.
The problem today is that people want dominion without definition. We want success without self-awareness. We want visibility without vision.
And Elohim says, “I cannot give you authority until I first anchor your identity.”
Because if you don’t know who you are before you start doing, you’ll spend your whole life confusing performance with purpose. You’ll be busy but broken, active but empty, working hard but never fulfilled.
You see, the world has taught us to hustle for what heaven designed to hand us. We have confused activity with productivity and movement with progress. You can be busy and still be going nowhere. You can be surrounded by opportunity and still be outside of assignment.
But hear me, your job is not your identity. It’s your assignment. Your title is not your worth. It’s your tool. The moment your title becomes your truth. You’ve already lost your purpose.
When Pharaoh looked for a man to manage Egypt, Joseph’s excellence spoke louder than his resume. When King Darius sought wisdom, Daniel’s reputation preceded him. Excellence positions you before kings.
Because kings do not look for average people. They look for exceptional ones.
Elohim never asks you to perform. He asks you to conform. Not to the world, but to his image.
That’s why Romans 8:29 says, “Those he foreknew, he predestined to be conformed to the image of his son.”
That means your greatest assignment is to become like Yahusha, not to compete with people.
You were never called to chase titles. You were called to reflect truth. You were never sent to impress men. You were designed to express Elohim.
You were never called to chase titles. You were called to reflect truth. You were never sent to impress men. You were designed to express Elohim.
Let me tell you a secret. When your being is right, your doing becomes effortless.
You don’t have to chase opportunities. When you become the kind of person heaven trusts with them, you don’t have to run after open doors when your character has already been shaped to fit the frame.
Because in the kingdom, doors don’t open for hustlers. They open for heirs. Sons don’t chase doors. Doors recognize sons.
So before you ask, “Lord, what should I do?” He’s asking child, who are you becoming?
Because your doing is only as powerful as your being. Your fruit is only as healthy as your root. Your success is only as stable as your identity.
So today, I challenge you, stop asking Elohim for more things to do. Start asking him to make you who you’re supposed to be.
Because when your being catches up to your calling, your doing will naturally follow with grace, clarity, and authority.
One of the greatest prisons on earth has no bars. It is not made of steel. It is made of opinions. And the keys to that prison are held by everyone whose approval you think you need.
There are people today living under emotional bankruptcy. Not because they lack purpose, but because they are addicted to applause. They cannot move until someone validates them. They cannot rest until someone claps for them. They cannot believe in their calling until someone else believes in it first.
And that, my friend, is not faith. That is bondage.
The most dangerous addiction is not drugs or alcohol. It is the addiction to people’s approval.
Because that addiction looks holy. It wears a smile. It quotes scripture. It says, “I just want them to like me.”
But behind that statement is a spirit that says, “I don’t know who I am unless you tell me.”
That’s why Yahusha was free. He was not impressed by men’s praise. And he was not depressed by their rejection. He said in John 5:41, “I do not receive glory from men.”
He was saying, “I know who I am, whether you clap or crucify me.”
That’s kingdom confidence. The ability to walk alone and still know you’re not lonely.
You see, Nehemiah understood this. When his enemies called him to come down from building the wall, he said, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.”
That focus.
He didn’t argue. He didn’t explain. He didn’t justify. He simply refused to descend because every conversation has a cost. Every argument drains anointing. Every distraction delays development.
Listen, you can be free and need to be liked at the same time. You can’t lead and still crave validation. You cannot carry a kingdom assignment while depending on earthly applause because people are too inconsistent to be your source.
One day they shout hosana, the next day crucify him. If your confidence is built on their clapping, your collapse is only a matter of time.
One of the greatest prisons on earth has no bars. It is not made of steel. It is made of opinions. And the keys to that prison are held by everyone whose approval you think you need.
But hear me. Every time you say yes to man when Elohim said no, you trade destiny for popularity. You forfeit divine favor for temporary applause. And what good is a standing ovation if heaven is silent?
Listen, you can be free and need to be liked at the same time. You can’t lead and still crave validation. You cannot carry a kingdom assignment while depending on earthly applause because people are too inconsistent to be your source.
One day they shout hosana. The next day crucify him. If your confidence is built on their clapping, your collapse is only a matter of time.
You see the approval of people is like sugar. It gives you a rush, but it rots your foundation. It feels good, but it feeds your weakness.
Cuz the moment you taste it, you’ll crave it. And the more you crave it, the more you’ll compromise. Soon, you’ll find yourself saying yes to things that break your peace just to avoid disappointing others.
Child of destiny, if you keep defending yourself, Elohim cannot vindicate you. If you keep explaining your process, you’ll abort your progress.
Some of you are wasting divine energy trying to make people understand what they were never anointed to comprehend. They don’t have the capacity to see what Elohim is doing in you.
AND THAT’S OKAY.
STOP TEACHING EVERYONE your testimony before the test is finished. Let them talk. Let them assume. Let them misread your silence.
Because what they call pride, heaven calls preparation. What they call distance, heaven calls discipline. And what they call loss, heaven calls promotion.
When you stop chasing approval, you start walking in authority. You begin to move from people pleasing to purpose living. You stop performing and start producing. You stop explaining and start embodying. And suddenly peace becomes louder than applause.
Remember this. You were never created to be liked by the crowd. You were chosen to be trusted by the King. And the King will sometimes separate you not to punish you but to protect you.
Because the opinions you crave can become the idols that enslave you.
So today I declare you don’t need their approval to be anointed. You don’t need their permission to walk in purpose. You don’t need their applause to stay effective.
When heaven approves you, no human can disqualify you.
Stop chasing people. Start becoming power.
Because when you walk in who you are, you won’t need validation. Your very presence will become confirmation.
Focus.
Focus is one of the greatest forces of success in the kingdom of Elohim. Focus is the womb of greatness. Focus is what turns ordinary people into extraordinary leaders.
Listen carefully. The difference between failure and fulfillment is not opportunity. its focus. Most people are not defeated because they lack talent. They are defeated because they are distracted.
Distraction is the enemy of direction. And the devil does not have to destroy you if he can keep you divided.
You see, purpose has a language and its first word is no.
Every time you say yes to something unassigned, you dilute the power of your destiny.
Focus is not just what you look at. Focus is what you ignore. It’s the discipline of attention. And attention is the currency OF GREATNESS.
YOU CANNOT conquer what you will not concentrate on. You cannot master what you refuse to prioritize. You cannot complete what you keep comparing.
Focus is not an emotional feeling. It’s a spiritual decision. It’s the ability to center your entire being around one assignment until it becomes reality.
That’s why Yahusha said, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.”
Notice he didn’t say to start, he said to finish. Because focus finishes when excitement starts. Excitement begins journeys. Focus completes them. Dreamers start projects. Focus people finish them.
Focus is heaven’s filter. It separates purpose from distraction, mission from noise, and calling from clutter.
When you focus, you begin to see clearly what Elohim is doing. Not everything that’s happening, but what matters.
That’s why the Bible says in Proverbs 4:25, “Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you because direction without discipline will always lead to detours.”
Many people have vision boards, but no vision boundaries. They have goals, but they have no guard rails.
So, their purpose leaks energy into everything that looks good, but was never Elohim.
Hear me. Not everything good is Elohim. Not every open door is divine. Some doors are distractions dressed as opportunities.
That’s why focus is protection. It shields your energy from being scattered across things that don’t multiply your assignment.
You see Nehemiah understood this. When his enemies called him to come down from building the wall, he said, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.”
that focus.
He didn’t argue. He didn’t explain. He didn’t justify. He simply refused to descend because every conversation has a cost. Every argument drains anointing. Every distraction delays development.
Focus is not isolation. It’s concentration. It’s the courage to protect your purpose from what is permissible but not profitable.
You can’t pour your power into everything.
Some of you are tired not because you’re doing wrong things but because you’re doing too many things. Even good things become destructive when they divide your attention.
When you focus, you activate the principle of divine magnetism. Everything assigned to your life begins to locate you.
That’s why Elohim never gives you everything at once. He gives you one thing to steward. He says, “If you are faithful over few, I will make you ruler over many.”
Faithfulness is not about quantity, it’s about focus.
The key to expansion is concentration. When you master one thing, heaven multiplies it.
WHEN YOU SCATTER YOURSELF ACROSS many things, you lose strength. It’s better to be a mile deep in your purpose than a mile wide in distractions.
So I ask you, what have you been focusing on?
Is your mind fixed on your calling or scattered by comparison? Are your eyes on the promise or on the opinions of people?
Because whatever holds your focus holds your future.
Focus decides your friends. Focus decides your finances. Focus decides your future.
If you want to know where you’ll be 5 years from now, tell me what has your focus today because your life will always move in the direction of your dominant attention.
Stop multitasking purpose. Stop entertaining noise. Stop chasing every opportunity that knocks. Focus on the one Elohim opened.
Cuz purpose is not about doing everything. is about doing the right thing at the right time with the right heart.
Hear this. When your focus becomes pure, your energy becomes powerful. When your energy becomes powerful, your progress becomes unstoppable.
That’s how destiny is built. Not in a 100 directions but in one.
So let this truth settle in your spirit.
Focus is your filter. Use it to separate the eternal from the temporary, the essential from the urgent, the divine from the distracting.
BECAUSE WHEN YOUR FOCUS IS FIXED, your purpose is safe. And when your purpose is safe, your promotion is inevitable.
There is a season in every believer’s journey where Elohim begins to pull things away. And the first thing we do is panic because we confuse removal with rejection.
But hear me today. When Elohim removes, he’s not rejecting you. He’s redirecting you.
Separation is not punishment. It is preparation. Every promotion in the kingdom begins with divine detachment.
Before Elohim elevates you publicly, he isolates you privately because exposure before establishment will destroy you.
You see, you cannot rise while holding on to everything that kept you comfortable.
When heaven is about to change your position, it first changes your proximity.
Elohim will start detaching you from people, places, habits, and even emotions that no longer fit your next level.
So when Elohim starts cutting, don’t resist release. When he starts closing doors, don’t knock harder. Kneel deeper.
Because detachment is not Elohim’s way of ignoring you. It’s his way of investing in you. He’s pulling you apart to put you together differently.
Look at Joseph betrayed by his brothers, sold as a slave, forgotten in prison. But what looked like abandonment was divine alignment. Every detour was a direction. Every betrayal was a bridge. Because detachment was Elohim’s way of transportation.
He had to lose his coat before he could gain his crown.
Look at David. anointed in private, then sent back to the sheepfold. Why? Because before Elohim gives you a throne, he trains you in obscurity.
He detaches you from applause so you can learn to depend on anointing.
He hides you from crowds so he can teach you how to hear his whispers.
Before you rule nations, you must learn to rule yourself.
That’s why isolation often precedes elevation.
You think you’re being buried, but you’re being planted. The soil feels dark. But development always begins in the dark. You cannot sprout in sunlight until you’ve learned to grow underground.
That’s why isolation often precedes elevation.
You think you’re being buried, but you’re being planted. The soil feels dark, but development always begins in the dark. You cannot sprout in sunlight until you’ve learned to grow underground.
Some of you are praying for promotion, but refusing separation. You want Elohim to enlarge your influence, but you’re still clinging to what drains your energy.
You are asking for new blessings while holding on to old burdens.
But you cannot carry the old into the new. The wine skin must change for the wine to flow.
When Elohim begins to detach, it hurts. It feels like loss, but it’s actually pruning.
And pruning is not rejection, it’s refinement.
Yahusha said in John 15, “Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes so that it may bear more fruit.”
In other words, Elohim cuts not because you’re dying, but because you’re growing.
Some of the relationships you’re mourning were never meant to survive your maturity. They were assignments for a season, not partners for a lifetime.
Stop crying over what Elohim already concluded. Stop trying to resurrect what heaven has released.
Because divine detachment is not about subtraction. It’s about multiplication through simplification.
Elohim reduces your connections to increase your capacity. He trims your access to sharpen your accuracy. HE SILENCES YOUR ENVIRONMENT TO STRENGTHEN your discernment.
When Elohim begins to detach, it hurts. It feels like loss, but it’s actually pruning. And pruning is not rejection, it’s refinement.
Yahusha said in John 15, “Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes so that it may bear more fruit.”
In other words, Elohim cuts not because you’re dying, but because you’re growing.
SO WHEN Elohim STARTS CUTTING, don’t resist release. When he starts closing doors, don’t knock harder. Kneel deeper.
Because detachment is not Elohim’s way of ignoring you. It’s his way of investing in you. He’s pulling you apart to put you together differently.
You are not being separated from purpose. You’re being separated for purpose.
And when the season shifts, the same people who said you were finished will witness your fulfillment.
They will see that your isolation was your incubation. Your silence was your strategy and your detachment was your doorway.
WHEN YOU STOP FIGHTING the pruning, you’ll start bearing the promise.
When you stop clinging to what’s leaving, you’ll start receiving what’s coming.
And when you stop mourning who left, you’ll begin to meet who’s next.
That’s divine detachment. Heaven’s secret for promotion.
Elohim hides before he highlights. He prunes before he prospers. He empties before he fills.
And when he finally reveals you, you will have nothing left to prove. Only fruit to show.
Some of the relationships you mourning were never meant to survive your maturity. They were assignments for a season, not partners for a lifetime.
Stop crying over what Elohim already concluded. Stop trying to resurrect what heaven has released.
Becoming is the secret process of greatness. It is invisible. It is internal. It is often uncomfortable because Elohim is not in a hurry to make you famous.
He is committed to making you faithful.
He would rather take time shaping your character than watch you collapse under the weight of influence.
You see, promotion without transformation is self-destruction.
That’s why Elohim works on you before he works through you. HE SPENDS YEARS in the foundation before he ever raises the walls.
Because in the kingdom, becoming always precedes revealing.
Paul said in Romans 12:2, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
He didn’t say be improved. He said be transformed.
Improvement changes habits. Transformation changes identity. Improvement is behavior modification. Transformation is nature redefinition. It’s the difference between painting a wall and rebuilding the house.
And transformation begins in the mind because the mind is the factory of your future.
You will never live beyond your thoughts. You cannot manifest what your mind has not yet accepted as possible.
That’s why the enemy attacks your thoughts before he attacks your life. Because whoever controls your focus controls your future.
So Elohim begins the process of renewal. He tears down the old mental architecture built by fear failure and people’s opinions and replaces it with truth, vision, and identity.
He begins to rewrite your inner vocabulary. You stop saying I can’t and start declaring I am equipped. You stop thinking like a victim and start functioning like a vessel. You stop surviving and start governing.
Becoming has three layers. The mind, the discipline, and the character.
Paul said in Romans 12:2, be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
He didn’t say be improved. He said be transformed.
Improvement changes habits. Transformation changes identity. Improvement is behavior modification. Transformation is nature redefinition. It’s the difference between painting a wall and rebuilding the house.
Second, the discipline because transformation demands training.
Prayer is training. Study is training. Consistency is training.
Elohim hides your miracle inside a routine. He tests if you can be faithful in the ordinary before he releases the extraordinary.
You cannot graduate from what you refuse to practice.
So Elohim begins the process of renewal. He tears down the old mental architecture built by fear failure and people’s opinions and replaces it with truth, vision, and identity.
He begins to rewrite your inner vocabulary. You stop saying I can’t and start declaring I am equipped. You stop thinking like a victim and start functioning like a vessel. You stop surviving and start governing.
And when the mind is renewed, the discipline established and the character anchored, you start to notice something shift.
You are no longer chasing things. Things are chasing you.
You stop begging for doors. doors start recognizing your name because you have become the version of yourself that can manage what Elohim wanted to give all along.
First, the mind because you must think like where you’re going, not where you’ve been.
Your thoughts are the blueprints of your tomorrow.
If you want to change your life, you must first renovate your mental environment.
You cannot carry kingdom destiny with a wilderness mindset.
That’s why the Israelites left Egypt physically but never left it mentally. They were delivered but they never developed.
Becoming is not about adding new layers. It’s about peeling off false ones. It’s the stripping of pride, the shedding of insecurity, the uprooting of fear.
Is Elohim saying, “Let me show you the you I saw before I formed you in the womb.”
Because the real you is not waiting to be created, it’s waiting to be revealed.
And here’s the mystery. When you finally become, you stop trying to convince anyone. You stop advertising your worth. You stop explaining your vision because purpose no longer needs validation. It simply manifests.
When you have become what Elohim designed, your presence carries proof. Your walk carries weight. Your silence becomes substance.
Child of purpose, don’t rush the process.
You are not delayed. You are developing.
You are not behind. You are being built.
When the caterpillar disappears into the cocoon, no one claps for it. It looks hidden, forgotten, motionless. But transformation is happening in the dark.
And when the time is right, IT DOESN’T CRAWL OUT, IT FLIES OUT.
That’s the anatomy of becoming.
It is the sacred surgery of Elohim performed in the hidden places of your heart.
He breaks, reshapes, and breathes until the vessel reflects his image again.
And when he’s finished, your life will not need announcement. Your transformation will testify.
Silence is not a pause in purpose. It is the classroom of preparation.
When Elohim calls you into silence, he is not ignoring you. He is instructing you. He is teaching you what applause can never teach.
He is training you in the LANGUAGE OF STILLNESS, THE DISCIPLINE of waiting, the wisdom of withholding.
You see, everyone wants to speak, but few are willing to listen. Everyone wants to be seen, but few can endure being hidden.
But every great calling in scripture was born in obscurity.
Moses found his voice in a desert. David learned leadership with sheep. Yahusha spent 30 years in silence before 3 years of ministry.
Heaven’s strategy has never changed. Elohim hides before he highlights.
The world celebrates noise, but heaven develops in quiet because silence exposes your motives.
When there’s no crowd, no platform, no audience, you discover who you really are.
Are you still faithful when no one is clapping? Are you still disciplined when no one is watching? Are you still obedient when no one is praising you?
That’s the curriculum of silence. It reveals authenticity.
Elohim uses silence to detox your soul from addiction to attention.
He removes the echo of people’s voices so you can finally recognize his because his whispers are more powerful than their shouts.
He teaches you that your value is not in visibility but in vitality.
You are MOST POWERFUL NOT WHEN EVERYONE sees you but when heaven trusts you.
There are three sacred classrooms in this school of silence.
First, the classroom of stillness. Here, Elohim trains your spirit to rest.
You stop fighting battles you were never assigned to fight. You stop responding to everything that provokes you.
You learn that peace is a weapon and patience is a form of warfare.
It’s here you realize that sometimes doing nothing is obedience, not laziness.
Because when you stand still, Elohim moves.
Second, the classroom of solitude. This is where you meet yourself.
It’s where Elohim removes the noise so he can introduce you to your original design.
In solitude, he asks questions no crowd would ever dare to ask.
Who are you without the stage? What do you believe when no one agrees? What do you love when no one applauds?
Here he confronts your inner world so he can strengthen your outer one.
Third, the classroom of submission.
This is where silence becomes surrender.
You stop trying to control outcomes and start trusting divine order.
You learn that obedience is not passive. It’s powerful.
Because submission doesn’t mean silence of the mouth. It means silence of rebellion.
It’s when your will bows so Elohim’s wisdom can reign.
When you graduate from these three classrooms, you emerge different.
You speak less, but every word carries weight.
You move slower, but every step carries precision.
You do less, but every action bears fruit.
That is the fruit of divine silence, authority, birth from alignment.
Child of destiny, don’t despise your silent season.
It is not a delay. It is divine development.
While others are busy performing, you are being processed.
While they are chasing crowds, you are cultivating character.
And when the time comes, your voice will not echo noise. It will carry sound.
You see, silence is Elohim’s secret place of shaping.
He cuts away pride. He softens your spirit. He strengthens your discernment.
And he teaches you that not every reaction deserves a response. And not every battle requires your participation.
Every calling has two stages. The hidden season of preparation and the visible season of purpose.
The problem is most people want visibility without maturity. They want recognition before revelation.
But in the kingdom, visibility without preparation equals vulnerability.
Elohim never reveals what he hasn’t refined.
So if you are in a season where heaven feels quiet, don’t panic.
He’s not absent. He’s attentive.
He’s watching your posture, not your performance.
He’s refining your patience, not your potential.
Stay still. Stay teachable. Stay faithful.
Because silence is not punishment. It’s promotion in disguise.
You’re not being ignored. You’re being instructed.
And when Elohim finally breaks that silence, your sound will shake nations.
When you have been processed in silence, purified in solitude, and prepared through patience, the next phase is manifestation.
Manifestation is heaven’s announcement that your season of becoming has matured into being.
It is when what was once invisible in you becomes undeniable through you.
But hear this carefully.
Manifestation is not about display. It’s about evidence.
It’s not to prove you’re gifted. IT’S TO REVEAL THAT Elohim is faithful.
Manifestation is when Elohim says, “NOW THE WORLD WILL see what I formed in private.”
Every calling has two stages. The hidden season of preparation and the visible season of purpose.
The problem is most people want visibility without maturity. They want recognition before revelation.
But in the kingdom, visibility without preparation equals vulnerability.
Elohim never reveals what he hasn’t refined.
When you see fruit, it means the root has been tested. When you see success, it means the soul has been strengthened.
When you see manifestation, it means the man has finally matched the mission.
Listen, Elohim never promotes potential. He only promotes proof and proof is not found in words. It is found in becoming.
That’s why your fruit will always speak louder than your feelings. People may doubt your words, but they cannot deny your results.
Yahusha said, “You shall know them by their fruit.”
Fruit is evidence of growth, maturity, and consistency.
You don’t beg a tree to produce, you cultivate its environment, and fruit becomes inevitable.
So when you have become who Elohim called you to be, fruit is not forced. It flows.
Hear this truth.
When you truly become, you won’t need to announce yourself. You won’t need to argue for validation. You won’t need to explain your vision.
Your manifestation will be your message.
The problem with many believers is they spend too much time talking about what they’re going to do instead of becoming the kind of person who can do it.
They speak of destiny but resist development. They prophesy greatness but neglect growth.
But manifestation does not respond to desire. It responds to discipline.
It does not answer prayer alone. It answers preparation.
When your season of manifestation arrives, you’ll notice something shift.
Doors begin to open. Not because you knocked harder, but because you fit the handle.
People begin to recognize you not because you marketed yourself but because your maturity carries magnetism.
Opportunities find you not because you chase them but because your alignment attracts them.
That is divine manifestation. The reward of obedience.
When you become who heaven trusts, earth must respond.
Because authority is not something you ask for. It’s something you embody.
You don’t pray for platforms. You prepare for purpose.
And when the two meet, Elohim manifests the promise.
Every calling has two stages. The hidden season of preparation and the visible season of purpose.
The problem is most people want visibility without maturity. They want recognition before revelation.
But in the kingdom, visibility without preparation equals vulnerability.
Elohim never reveals what he hasn’t refined.
Let me tell you something powerful.
Manifestation is never noisy.
Real authority doesn’t shout, IT SHOWS.
REAL POWER DOESN’T ARGUE, it produces.
Real favor doesn’t chase, it changes.
You don’t need to announce the light. It simply shines and darkness automatically moves.
That is divine manifestation. The reward of obedience.
When you BECOME WHO HEAVEN TRUSTS, earth must respond.
Because authority is not something you ask for. It’s something you embody.
You don’t pray for platforms. You prepare for purpose.
And when the two meet, Elohim manifests the promise.
But be warned, manifestation is not the end. is the beginning of stewardship.
When Elohim manifests you, he’s not rewarding you. He’s entrusting you.
He’s saying now that you have become, manage what I’ve revealed.
So stay humble, stay teachable, stay aligned.
Because the only thing harder than getting promoted is staying positioned.
That is divine manifestation. The reward of obedience.
When you become who heaven trusts, earth must respond.
Because authority is not something you ask for, it’s something you embody.
You don’t pray for platforms. You prepare for purpose.
And when the two meet, Elohim manifests the promise.
Let me tell you something powerful.
Manifestation is never noisy.
Real authority doesn’t shout. It shows.
REAL POWER DOESN’T ARGUE. It produces.
Real favor doesn’t chase. It changes.
You don’t need to announce the light. It simply shines and darkness automatically moves.
You don’t have to shout to be seen. You don’t have to argue to be validated.
Just become because when the time is right, the evidence will speak.
That’s manifestation. The language of maturity.
Now that you understand the difference between chasing and becoming, let’s talk about how to make that transition.
Because revelation without application leads to frustration.
Elohim does not bless information. He blesses implementation.
The word only works for those who work the word.
So how do you move from chasing everything to becoming something?
How do you shift from exhaustion to alignment, from hurry to harmony, from pressure to peace?
Let me give you the pathway.
Five kingdom disciplines that turn revelation into transformation.
One, the discipline of stillness here.
Before you hurry, now that you understand the difference between chasing and becoming, let’s talk about how to make that transition.
Because revelation without application leads to frustration.
Elohim does not bless information. He blesses implementation.
The word only works for those who work the word.
Two, the discipline of the purpose journal.
Track what gives and drains life.
You cannot manage what you don’t measure.
Write down what gives you peace and what steals it.
Record what energizes you and what exhausts you because purpose leaves patterns.
If you study them, you’ll find your assignment hiding inside your consistency.
If you notice what keeps growing, when everything else feels hard, that’s not coincidence. That’s calling.
And when you can see your calling clearly, you’ll stop chasing confusion.
So, how do you move from chasing everything to becoming something?
How do you shift from exhaustion to alignment, from hurry to harmony, from pressure to peace?
Let me give you the pathway.
Five kingdom disciplines that turn revelation into transformation.
Every season demand evaluation.
Ask yourself, is this task tied to my purpose or just to my pride?
Some things you’re maintaining, Elohim never told you to build.
Some people you are helping Elohim never told you to carry.
Every yes costs energy. So spend it wisely.
If it doesn’t advance your assignment, it’s a distraction disguised as duty.
Simplify to multiply because pruning your schedule is the same as protecting your anointing.
Four, the discipline of boundaries guard your peace like property.
Two, the discipline of the purpose journal track what gives and drains life.
Five, the discipline of reflection asks, “What am I becoming at the end of every week?”
Don’t just ask, “What did I accomplish?
Ask who did I become?
Because Elohim is not impressed with progress that doesn’t transform character.
You can be busier and still be smaller on the inside.
Success in the kingdom is not measured by accumulation but by alignment.
Are you becoming more patient, more disciplined, more loving, more Mashiach-like?
Because transformation is not proven by what you gain, but by which you’ve allowed Elohim to change.
Child of purpose, hear this.
Transitioning from chasing to becoming is not a one-time event. It’s a daily decision.
Every day you must choose focus over frenzy, identity over image, and peace over performance.
Every morning you must remind your soul.
I don’t need to run after what’s already assigned to me.
You simply have to become the kind of person heaven can trust with it.
The butterfly doesn’t chase the wind, it rides it.
The eagle doesn’t fight the storm. It soarses above it.
When you operate from being instead of doing, you enter a state called kingdom rest.
Working from victory, not for it.
That’s what Yahusha meant when he said, “Abide in me, not visit. Abide.”
Because abiding produces fruit without striving.
And when you abide long enough, you become.
So today, stop chasing validation.
Stop chasing timing.
Stop chasing opportunity.
You don’t have to run after destiny when destiny is already programmed to find obedience.
Just become what Elohim saw when he called your name.
You are not behind. You are in training.
You are not stuck. You are being shaped.
You are not waiting for favor. Favor is waiting for you to become consistent because heaven always releases what earth is ready to handle.
So now make this your confession.
Child of purpose, hear this.
Transitioning from chasing to becoming is not a one-time event. It’s a daily decision.
Every day you must choose focus over frenzy, identity over image, and peace over performance.
Every morning you must remind your soul, I don’t need to run after what’s already assigned to me.
You simply have to become the kind of person heaven can trust with it.
So now, make this your confession.
And I declare over you today, your season of chasing is over.
Your season of becoming has begun.
Stay focused. Stay faithful. Stay formed.
Because when heaven finishes shaping you, your very presence will preach and your becoming will speak louder than your words ever could.
