WHAT ARE YOU PRAYING FOR?

1 Samuel chapter 2










Today we are walking in: What Are You Praying For?










Habakkuk 1:11




Then shall his mind change H2015, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.










CHANGE






















Today we look to the word- CHANGE- H2015- haphak- a primitive root; to turn about or over; by implication, to change, overturn, return, pervert:—become, change, come, be converted, give, make (a bed), overthrow overturn), perverse, retire, tumble, turn (again, aside, back, to the contrary, every way).




























The Torah Testifies…………….










Genesis 35:2




Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that werewith him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change H2015 your garments:




Leviticus 27:10




He shall not alter it, nor change H2015 it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change H2015 beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.







Leviticus 27:33




He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change H2015 it: and if he change H2015 it at all, then both it and the change H2015 thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.




























The Prophets Proclaim………







Jeremiah 2:36




Why gaddest thou about so much to change H2015 thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.










Zechariah 3:4




And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change H2015 of raiment.

For I am the LORD, I change H2015 not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Job 14:14




If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change H2015 come.










Psalm 102:26




They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change H2015 them, and they shall be changed:










Proverbs 24:21




My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change H2015:












Before Yah ever uses a woman publicly, he wounds her privately before he releases her voice he reshaped her identity, and before he puts a crown on her head, he places a cross on her back! woman of strength! Let me ask you… why does it hurt when you’re the one who praise the most? Why does silence answer your cries why do doors close when you sacrificed everything because you are not being punished you are being processed. Yah does not use what he has not first broken not to destroy but to rebuild for his glory. You’re not forgotten you’re not invisible you’re in divine surgery and heaven does its deepest work behind closed doors. Let me tell you something that religion won’t always say Yah does not anoints the comfortable. He anoints the crushed if you’re going through crushing disappointment isolation or betrayal, you are a candidate for divine elevational through Him. Yah allowed Ruth entire world to collapse before she stood in the lineage of Yahusha , and actually in the Bible Ester was an orphan before she became a queen and Mary was scandalized before she became honored every great woman Yah used he broke! first let me tell you something that religious tradition may not have taught you Yah will often strip you of the name you answered to, so you can finally respond to the one he called you! Your identity is not what the world gave you. It’s what heaven whispered over your life before you ever had a womb or a wrinkle before you were betrayed before the label was attached before the heartbreak before the reputation before the mistake but life has a way of slapping false names on your soul! You’re not enough too loud too broken too late and the tragedy is we believe them we believe them, but when Yah wants to use a woman not casually but mightily he first breaks everything that has false about her. He allows her to walk through seasons where she can’t perform where the applause stops with the titles don’t matter when the makeup comes off and the masks no longer stick why because he’s not building a platform He’s building a foundation and foundations are never seen, but they carry everything. Let me be real with you, this is not the glamorous part of the process. This is the season where you look in the mirror and don’t even recognize yourself. The season when the phone doesn’t ring and the people who you carried suddenly don’t remember your number And you ask Yah what did I do wrong but the question isn’t what you did wrong is what Yah is doing right is breaking what you built in your own strength to rebuild what will stand through the fire! look at the life of Leah she was unloved by Jacob overlooked by man, but Yah saw her. She named her son’s based on her desire for approval, maybe now my husband will love me, but by the time she birthed Judah, she said this time I will praise the Lord! Her Identity shifted by changing your situation, but by redefining her source that’s what the breaking does it disconnects you from the need for external validation. I don’t think this is just personal. This is prophetic for the community because when women walk in borrowed identities entire generation suffer, but when a woman rises in Him, Yah give a name she doesn’t just change her life she becomes a compass for her daughters covering for her sons and a voice for those who thought silence was survival so if you’re in the season of undoing, what used to work doesn’t anymore if you’re standing in the ruins of who you used to be Don’t run you’re not falling apart you’re being introduced, and when Yah is done the same people who couldn’t recognize your pain won’t be able to ignore your power. You’re not what they called you. You are not what think! you are not your worst day! you are what heaven had in mind and it’s breaking the line to reveal the woman and when you rise from this, don’t answer to anything less silence is not the absence of Yah. It is often the strategy of God when Yah isolate a woman it is not because he has forgotten her. It is because he is trying to separate her from noise so she can finally recognize his voice, but the danger is if you’re addicted to noise to people to approval too busyness to performance Then isolation feels like punishment, but it’s not punishment its preparation every time Yah wanted to do something extra extraordinary through a woman he didn’t start with a microphone he started with the wilderness. He took her out of her comfort zone not to abandon her, but to retrain her attention because Yah is not interested in competing for your focus when he isolate you he’s removing the background music of distraction. He’ll dry up your phone calls. He’ll interrupt your rhythms. He’ll even allow people to misunderstand you not because he’s cruel but because he’s jealous for your undivided heart ask yourself this why is the season so quiet right now? Why did the doors stop opening? Why are the invitations no longer coming could it be because he’s speaking but he doesn’t shout Yah whispers when he wants intimacy. He removes the crowd when he wants clarity and sometimes the greatest miracle is not the one everyone sees. It’s the one that happens when you finally hear him for yourself! let me tell you something about real women of impact they are trained in private they are carved in caves, not in conferences. They are built in the back rooms of tears, prayer, and long nights of not knowing what’s next and still trusting anyway! Yah doesn’t isolate to punish! isolate to insulate because when your assignment gets heavy, you need a strength that can’t be taught by people only by presence think about a woman like Hagar she was discarded cast out into the desert, but it was there in the place of rejection that she saw Yah and heard her cry!

think about a woman like Hagar she was discarded cast out into the desert, but it was there in the place of rejection that she saw Yah and said you are the Yah who sees me The well wasn’t found in pharaoh Palace. It was revealed in the wilderness and the truth is some of you would never have discovered who you are if he hadn’t taken them away if he hadn’t dried up the room if he hadn’t closed the door you have found in the stillness. This is not just personal. It’s prophetic for the community because when a woman learns to hear Yah, without a middleman, she becomes dangerous to the enemy, she can no longer be manipulated by fear or guilt or control. She doesn’t wait for permission to obey. She walks with conviction not just emotion! so if you are in that silent place don’t rush to escape stay in the tension let him tune your ears again let him silence the voices of doubt of comparison of fail obligation because when this season is over, you will not just hear differently you will speak with authority, and when you speak, it will not be noise. It will be a sound that shakes atmospheres sound that wakes up dry bones a sound that was born in silence but destined to break! change is not the enemy of destiny. immaturity is there are moments in life when it feels like Yah is not moving you pray and the heavens stay quiet you fast and the situation doesn’t shift you prepare, and yet nothing breaks open, and if you’re not careful, you begin to believe that Yah has overlooked you! Passed you by! changed his mind! but hear me he hasn’t changed his mind. He’s changing your muscles because what you’re carrying has weight it’s not lite and Yah will not let you walk into a room. You don’t have the strength to stand in. You think the waiting is punishment, but it’s actually divine conditioning. Heaven doesn’t train you for convenience trains you for endurance before Yah places you in position! Yah will place you in a process that builds the internal character to sustain what’s coming because elevation without preparation is a set up for collapse. We live in a generation addicted to acceleration, fast food, fast and fast answers fast breakthroughs, but the kingdom of Yah doesn’t run on shortcuts it runs on seed time and harvest and between seed and harvest is when most people give up not because they went cold, but because they were conditioned, let me show you the strategy of Yah when a woman has been chosen for something greater. The first thing he strengthens is not her platform. It’s her patience. You can’t raise nations. If you can’t wait on timing you can’t carry justice. If you collapse under pressure you can’t speak to systems if you’re still looking for someone to affirm your voice! Sometimes Yah delays what you ask for not because you’re not ready to receive but because you’re not yet able to release! you’re still clinging to how you thought that you look! you’re still negotiating with comfort you’re still addicted to control, and so the delay becomes the gym where you developed spiritual stamina! Every unanswered prayer is another rap. Every closed door is another round every long night is resistance training for your soul and don’t forget this when you skip the process you miss the strength. This message is bigger than one woman’s breakthrough. This is about communities, families, daughters, watching their mother’s neighborhoods that have never seen spiritual strength modeled with Grace! What happens when women learn to wait well They don’t just produce for the moment they build for the future they give birth to legacy not just moments of success. They don’t just respond to trends they shape culture so if you’re in the hallway of delay and the doors still haven’t opened. I need you to lift your head and stop measuring time And start measuring growth because when Yah finally opens the way you won’t walk through like a desperate woman you walk through like a discipline warrior and when you arrive, no one will be able to say it was luck. They’ll know she was built in the weight. Pain is not the enemy! pain is often the evidence that you were on the edge of something eternal let me say something that may shake your theology. Yah will use what the enemy meant to destroy you not to develop you but the design the vision you never would’ve seen without some of the clearest direction in life does not come in the moments of peace! It comes when everything collapses!

Only light left is the one Yah lit inside you! pain is the birthplace of clarity ask the woman who lost her job and discovered her voice ask the widow who buried her husband and found her assignment. Ask the girl who grew up without a father and became a mother to those who had none. The greatest movements in history were not born out of comfort they were born out of suffering, and when Yah wants to raise a woman to see further, he lets her feel deep. The womb vision is not strategy. It is sorrow! sorrow that breaks your pride sorrow that empties your dependence on human validation sorrow that silence its every counterfeit identity and all that’s left is truth, and in that silence, Yah begins to speak. You don’t need to run from your pain. You need to listen to it. Pain is a prophet! It reveals what’s broken in the world and what heaven wants to heal through you. It tells you what matters it tells you who you call to stand for it tells you where Yah wants to aim your life like a weapon but the problem is we’ve written entire cultures. To run from pain! numb it medicated hide it under make up on Instagram captions but what if the very thing you’ve been trying to escape is the compass to your next Assignment! Your pain is not just personal is prophetic. It’s not just about what happened to you it’s about what Yah is getting ready to do through you. You may have been abused, but now you carry inside for those who are still silent you may have been overlooked, but now you see others with the compassion that can be taught you may have wept through nights no one saw, but now you speak with a way that can’t be ignored, and we need you not the polished version not the airbrushed survivor. We need the real you the woman who bled but didn’t break the woman who is not afraid to show her scars because she knows that scars. Don’t say ive been defeat they signify healing. The community doesn’t need more celebrities we need healers Women who have been through hell and still carry heaven in their eyes women who know what it feels like to walk through betrayal, but choose to mentor instead of isolate women who refuse to let bitterness win who turned their wounds into well for others to drink from so don’t despise your pain. Don’t curse the season that crushed you That pain is not where your story ends. That’s what your vision begins. You didn’t survive just to sit, you survive to see, and now it’s time to build what only your tears could’ve revealed. There was a breaking that feels violent, but it is holy and Yah desires to release the deepest part of you. He does not have the surface. He applies pressure Real inconvenient so rattling pressure because what’s most valuable inside of you is not accessible when everything is easy what makes you dangerous to darkness what makes you force for change is not on the outside is the hidden oil within and oil does not flow without crushing. We love the idea of anointing, but we run from the process we want the impact without the extraction, but Heaven doesn’t operate by comfort. It operates by design, and Yah designed you like the olive useful, beautiful, but only potent after the press when Yah start squeezing your life Relationship shift finances dry up familiar rhythms are disrupted and you start asking why now why me but the real question is what is he trying to release from me that I couldn’t give him voluntarily there is oil inside of you that your comfort could never unlock look at your life. The moment you became most effective wasn’t after applause. It was after adversity you spoke clearer after betrayal, lead stronger after abandonment you loved deeper after loss Because pain pressed out the distractions the assumptions, the masks, and what was left was undeniably authentic, and Yah said now I can use that but makes you powerful is not what you rehearsed is what you’ve survived not what you curated but what cost you something and listen this isn’t just with the stage or the pulpit! This is for your family your Neighbourhood, your generation because when a woman walks through the fire and still carries peace when she’s crushed but remains kind when she loses everything but still chooses faith that woman becomes a living altar, a place where people see that Yah still meets with a broken and uses them fully, but you must stop despise in the pressure. You must stop praying away every process sometimes the very thing you’re asking Yahto remove is the instrument he’s using to release your oil and when that oil flows lives are restored, children are covered. Cities are shaken and community. Finally see what heaven smells like. The aroma of a life surrendered not sanitized a life pressed not performed so yes it hurts. Yes, you’re tired. Yes, the weight feels unfair but don’t waste the press what’s coming out of? You is not weakness. It’s oil And oil. Doesn’t just anoint people. It heals them when Yah breaks a woman. He’s not trying to reduce her he’s trying to multiply her impact her! you think this season is about you. Your survival your healing your breakthrough but listen to me carefully. You are not the final destination you are a bridge to what Yah is doing in you he plans to do through you. This pain isn’t just about your process, it’s about the people on the other side of your obedience. There are other lives that are waiting on your healing. There are stories that are locked inside your scars. You’ve been thinking when will I be free!

That is drowning and identity, confusion, emotional numbness, and spiritual decay. A generation where women are often told to be smaller quieter prettier safer, but never stronger but here’s the truth. We don’t need more women who have the right answers. We need women who have real stories women who cared the fragrance of fire, but the gentleness of grace women who are not ashamed of where they’ve come from because they know that what tried to kill them, gave them keys! Every tear you cried, give you access every night you didn’t sleep gave discernment! every betrayal gave you the power to detect what is false and now that you’re standing not perfect but whole it’s time to take what you’ve gained and pour it into others. You’re not being called to compete. You’re being called to cover! It’s a difference cover the ones who are still bleeding cover the ones who don’t have the language for their trauma cover the ones who are about to give up because you didn’t! that’s the power of being broken by you’re healing becomes contagious. You become an answer to someone else’s silent prayer. You become a mentor without a title, a pastor without a pulpit a deliver in the grocery store in your home in the street in a conversation, no one else paid attention to Because healing isn’t always loud sometimes it sounds like I’ve been there too, and you’re not crazy. Yah doesn’t need your perfection. He needs your surrender. It is women who will stop hiding behind shame and start walking in authority. Not because they know it all because they’ve been through enough to know he is faithful. This is not the time to shrink. This is not the season to disqualify yourself because of your past Because the world is not waiting for another celebrity. The world is waiting for a woman who’s been through the fire and didn’t lose her voice, and if you dare to stand in the fullness of who you are, your life just doesn’t inspire it will heal. It will awaken. It will set the captives free to know of destiny. What will you do with the breaking? You’ve heard the cold. You felt the pressure. You’ve walked through the fire this wasn’t random. This wasn’t punishment. This was preparation for release. Yah didn’t break you to bury you. He broke you build you back indestructible not so you could sit in silence, but so you could stand in boldness so you could walk into rooms as an answer not just as another opinion you are not what try to destroy you. You are what you survived! you are what remain when everything else left You are what Yah kept because there’s still something he’s getting ready to release through you to speak! build! heal! lead! So cry if you have to, but don’t stop don’t let the breaking scare you let it remind you he’s getting ready to use you like never before your community needs you your daughters are watching your city is searching And have a saying that she’s ready. Good luck on your journey and may your scars speak louder than your silence ever did thank you for surviving. Thank you for staying when you wanted to run thank you for becoming the woman. The world didn’t see coming. The breaking wasn’t the end. It was your beginning! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!!
