How do you do this? You reset in the secret place and untangle from the drama of the public place. You reset by prioritizing your heart process and preparation over trying to build prematurely.
It’s a blank-canvas moment. But what we build will firstly be built in secret, on our faces, and in the fear of the Lord. Not in boardrooms or planning committees, but from the overflow of lives dedicated to prayer and fasting.
And He will inhabit the praises of His people and the train of His robe will fill the temple once again (Psalm 22:3; Isaiah 6:1). This will not happen in buildings but in the hearts of His laid-down lovers.
It’s a time of fresh consecration and visitation. As the Lord uproots, so He plants. As He turns the page, a new day begins.
So this moment is holy, and an invitation to the original call as priests unto the Lord, and being an empty cup… so that He can fill us once again (Isaiah 61:6; Psalm 23:5). This process may feel overwhelming, but I encourage you, look beyond it. Ask the Lord to show you what to release and what to carry into the next chapter.
Let this hard reset bring you back to the simplicity of the Gospel and the joy of relationship with Jesus. Embrace the refining process, knowing it’s the mercy of God preparing His Bride for her finest hour.
