Purpose And Distractions


Recently it has come to me that I am indeed a curse breaker. God has called me into the earth to specifically to be a redemptive intercessor for my bloodline. I am called to breakthrough what could not be accomplished in generations before me. Somehow I always knew that this was what God had called me into the earth to do. I accepted Christ at the age of 14. I did not know the full extent that God would use me, and I still only know in part. As I journey with the Godhead; more of God’s plan unfolds for my life. I just submit to Him fully, because I love Him.


However, I was not aware that such a great mandate attracts great warfare as distractions would be a catalyst that the enemy would attempt to use to detour me and keep me off focus to waking in God’s greater plan and purpose.


How could I partner with the Holy Spirit and allow this to come forth? I always ask God this question. His answer to me was; “I simply had to journey with the Godhead and stay in a posture of humility always keeping my heart pure”. I had to journey with my bloodline and understand the past, present and the future as it relates to God’s plan.


I have just finished writing my first book and I am already working on finishing books two and three. When God has called you to do something He will grace you to do it. You will have the ability and you won’t strive while accomplishing it.


However, when I heard God asking me to write I could not for the life of me see myself doing it. There were many, many distractions and detours to what God was saying. Thank God for his grace and mercy and his love that will always get us back on course. We must realize that God is always doing something new, saying something new, showing you another side of himself, drawing you deeper into who He is, and He is BIG! The enemy wanted to keep me distracted; because he knew if I was able to breakthrough, I would walk further into the purpose for which God had called me into the earth. As I finished my first book; It occurred to me that my mother always had a desire to write. She purchased a typewriter and still did not write. She purchased a computer and still did not write. Here I am years later with no real desire to write but one word from God and one yielded heart; I am completing what she could not breakthrough and accomplish. God is faithful even to the prayers and desires of those that came before us! God looks at us and sees not only you, but he sees your children and your children's children. God’s command to my mother was a command to our bloodline; He was just waiting for the right person. The right time, and the right season as the sons of Issachar understood. This person had to yield and stand in righteousness and holiness and trust Him and obey. What a mighty God we serve.


Simple obedience to God’s will, repentance for the sins and disobedience of ancestors, and possibly even your own sin; is what will ensure that your bloodline walks in tandem with the will of God to release great generational blessings.


I heard the Holy Spirit telling me to write over and over again. I never in my dreams would I view myself as a writer. God took His desires for my bloodline and placed it in my heart as he knew I would obey Him. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path. Delight thyself also in the Lord and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. This is what Holy Spirit was saying to me and because of my heart posture with the Lord, I never want to walk in willful disobedience. I began to write. As I am writing it occurred to me how my mother desired to write, and she may have heard the voice of the Lord calling her to write. I can recall her buying a typewriter and later a computer but she did not accomplish what she heard Holy Spirit tell her to do. Life’s distractions may have detoured her from following the will of God in her life and now I am here breaking through barriers and limitations in obedience to write what she did not write. I keep telling her it’s not too late. She still has stories to tell. I had to break through and accomplish because of the Mandate of Heaven; that future generations after me would have free course and be the scribes and so much more that God is calling forth in the earth realm. Men and women are born for the times that they are needed and He’s brought me in the earth for such a time as this!


My prayer for you is that you will not allow distractions to detour you from your call and God’s purpose for you in the earth realm. May you and I be like Paul when our time of departure from this life comes. (2 Timothy 4:7-8)


7. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:


8. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.


I see that currently in the body of Christ God is breaking the power of the spirit of distraction which has been hovering over God people. He’s mobilizing an army that will usher in a move of God that we have not seen before. God is releasing greater identity and reformation in the way we do church as it relates to the Godhead and it will be glorious. He’s truly raising up those that have come through great fire and testing by Him! These precious ones have been tried and God is sure He can trust their hearts and motives. He’s raising up influencers that He can trust because so many have been given the influence only to covet the glory themselves. He’s raising up Joseph types that have been tried not by their own hands, but by the evil in the hearts of others. These that have been tried will be gifted with influence in the 7 mountains and God’s agendas will move with power through the earth in unprecedented ways. “They shall have clear paths”; says God. He has tried the reigns of their hearts and they will not be stopped as He’s putting His words in their mouths and they will move with the assignments of heaven.


May you and I find ourselves emptied out of the purpose that was poured in us as we were released into the earth realm for God’s glory. Amen.
