Walk 'Em Down

Happy New Year! What a true blessing it is to be able to enter into a new year, month and even more a new day. It is the beginning of the year and I know everyone is setting goals, and focusing on being a new version of themselves. I am so here for it.

The last quarter of 2023 was one of the hardest seasons of my life. September I was laid off from my dream job. October I fell and and messed my ankle up and ended up on crutches. The very next day my husband wound up in the hospital and the doctors were unable to diagnose him. November my beautiful 4 series BMW flipped over on 696 freeway with both my husband and I in it. The very next day my daughters were in the hospital for RSV, Covid and an ear infection. December, thankfully the only thing that happened was the airport ripped my luggage apart. Then January, the start of this year I lost my cousin whom was found dead by her children.

2023 came for my neck and 2024 started off shooting straight for my heart. In this midst of life just life'ing I learned and am learning more about God. I'm going to be very transparent in my story because what I have to share isn't talked about as often as it should be. I kid you not, by the time November came and my car flipped over and my kids had RSV and covid I was completely done with God. I was so angry, so hurt, and felt so betrayed. I felt like because I am literally getting up at 5:00am seeking you daily praying and reading my word, serving in my ministry, and SOWING..... How could you allow my family and I to be under this level of attack. I was like now Lord you gone really allow the enemy to attack my husband and my children and then try to take our lives in the process.

I mean I'm waking up in the morning not praying but just reading my bible cause I can't stand the thought of talking to God, like that mad. I felt defeated and honestly tired of fighting. I have been exhausted and depleted in every way possible, I have very minimal fight left in me.

I was speaking with one of the most beautiful sisters, and she enlighten me that this is spiritual. The next morning I studied 2nd Corinthians 10:4 "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds". From then I understood that the enemy is coming for my neck for a reason and this is teaching me to fight different.

Throughout life I've gained a very thorough understanding on how to fight both verbal and physical with all opposition. Not once have I ever been faced with this level of heavy spiritual warfare. I thought to myself "Oh, It's time to Walk 'em Down". Today the cultural uses the term "Walk'em Down" to describe killing the opp (opposition). That's exactly how and what I will be doing in 2024. See the enemy seen an area I hadn't been tested in yet and tried me but one thing for sure and two things for certain he won't be able to try me the same way twice because your good sis likes a good tussle.

2023 Quarter 4 put me in spiritual beast mode. I learned how to pray harder than I ever prayed in my life. I learned how to pray my way through. Pray until the power of God changed my situation or better, changed me.

During prayer this morning God reminded me of the word he gave me through prophecy at the beginning of October 2023. Except today he said it so clear and so bold, it almost felt like it was audible. He said "rivers of living water are getting ready to spring forth from your belly".

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: I know I wouldn't be going through it if greater wasn't in store for me. I trust that all God has for me will be greater than what I imagined for myself and I will serve him even when the enemy wants me to feel otherwise. In 2024, I will be walking in the authority God has given me, standing 10 toes on my fathers business and keeping my foot on the devils neck. I coming for everything I deserve.

2024 is my year.
