*By Ms. Nikki and Meta AI
This morning’s prayer was perfect today:
START WITH GRATITUDE
PUT GOD FIRST TODAY
WALK IN HIS FAVOR
LIVE IN HIS PEACE
That’s not a cute devotional. That’s an address change.
That’s what it means to LIVE in the spiritual realm.
For years I thought the spiritual realm was a place I visited when I was desperate. When I couldn’t get out of bed. When I was at my God Tree crying.
God Whisper: You don’t VISIT Me. You LIVE with Me. Your residence is supernatural.
Eddie taught me this first: Our residence is the supernatural realm. That’s where we really live. Not in this chaos and confusion down here.
So what does it MEAN to live there? God showed me in 3 moves today:
STEP 1: LIVING IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM MEANS YOU START IN HEAVEN BEFORE YOU FIGHT ON EARTH.
In the natural, you wake up and check your phone. Check your problems. Check your bank account.
In the spiritual realm, you wake up and check in with God. Period.
That’s my 5AM/6AM/7AM prayer altar. That’s putting God FIRST TODAY. That’s war boots on and warrior sleeves rolled up.
Kevin taught me: “Neeks, this life is a war. Put on your war boots every day. Get to work. Get to war. Your help comes from the Looooooooord. THE MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.”
God Whisper: Boots on the ground, but eyes in Heaven. That’s how Queens and Kings fight.
If you don’t fill up at the prayer altar, you have nothing to fight with at work.
I’ll never forget the day hearing from Jason. Nik, get to work. What are you still doing at the God tree. He explained that when you keep moving God will give you people to help. Solutions will come to you. God will make a way when there seems to be no way. Someway. Somehow. I went to work that day and did EXACTLY what He told me to do through my brother. I ran into that office knowing what to do (God whispered His guidance to me). And God gave me the solution. That’s the love of God I’ve come to KNOW. Clock it!
STEP 2: LIVING IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM MEANS YOU OPERATE BY GOD RULES, NOT WORLD RULES.
The world has one rule book. Heaven has another. Your life will show which one you live by.
WORLD RULES SAY: Get even. Hustle alone. Panic when you can’t see the way.
GOD RULES SAY: Give mercy and love. Roll with God. Show up in faith KNOWING God has a plan.
Here’s how we LIVE God Rules TODAY — for my Kings and my Queens:
GOD RULE #1: PUT YOUR WAR BOOTS ON (Before You Check Your Phone)
What Kevin taught me.
For my Sisters: Before kids, before kitchen, before emails — 5 minutes at your prayer altar listening to or reading something spiritual that makes you feel connected to God. “God, what do You have to say to me today?”
For my Brothers: Before job site, before office, before traffic — pause in the truck. “Papa, I put You first. Guide me today. Let my ears know Your voice clearly.”
GOD RULE #2: SPEAK STRENGTH OVER YOURSELF (Out Loud)
What Ceri taught me — Philippians 4:13
For my Sisters: When the house is loud and you feel invisible — say it: “I am strong and courageous. God is with me in this kitchen, in this meeting, in this mess.”
For my Brothers: When pressure is heavy — say it: “My help comes from the Lord. Nothing is too difficult for God. I can do all things with Christ by my side.”
GOD RULE #3: GET TO WORK (Faith Moves)
What Jason — Jah’s son — taught me.
“Nik, you’re always talking about God, but do you have FAITH in God? Leave the God Tree and get to work.”
For my Sisters: That business idea? That apology? Fill up, then get up. Show up. God will meet you at work. KEEP GOING.
For my Brothers: That call you keep avoiding? That application? Stop waiting for perfect. Get to work and watch God make a way.
God Whisper: I give the blueprint at the prayer altar. I release the miracle at the WORK. Show Me you believe it. HEEHAW!
STEP 3: LIVING IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM MEANS YOU EXPECT MIRACLES WHERE THE NATURAL SAYS IMPOSSIBLE.
There are times the walls seem insurmountable. The mountains far too steep. The night overwhelmingly dark. The burden so heavy it feels like the air has been squeezed from your chest.
Your heart cries: Is there a way out?
YES. God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
Not because we have perfect faith. But because faith is the proof of the unseen. Hebrews 11:1.
The Red Sea didn’t divide by accident. Jericho didn’t fall by chance. They fell because God opens a way where NONE exists.
Our issue isn’t that God stopped doing miracles. It’s that we stopped EXPECTING them.
5 Verses To Build Your Residence On TODAY:
1. Ephesians 2:6 — “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms.”
Why: This is your address! You don’t live from earth trying to get to Heaven. You live FROM Heaven bringing Heaven to earth.
2. Isaiah 41:10 — “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Why: Our 4:11AM alarm. God Himself is your help, your support, your fortress, your defense. You are never alone.
3. Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Why: Your war cry when you feel like the Queen of Falls. Your strength is 1%, His is infinity percent.
4. Joshua 1:9 — “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Why: Strong and courageous is not a feeling, it’s obedience. And we can obey because He goes WITH us.
5. Isaiah 43:19 — “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
Why: Your Friday promise. Even when you see NO way — God is already making a way. Someway. Somehow.
God Whisper: Don’t let your situation silence your faith. When I say GO, creation responds. When I say BE STILL, storms bow. That’s the God you roll with. HEEHAW!
OUR FINAL PRAYER – FOR TODAY, JULY 24
Put your hand on your heart, family. Let’s pray like we live there:
Papa God,
Thank You for this new day. Thank You that we woke up and You were already here.
Today we START WITH GRATITUDE — thank You for Kevin who taught us war, Ceri who taught us courage, Jason who taught us faith with work. Thank You that You never leave us without voices.
Today we PUT YOU FIRST — before our phones, before our problems. Be our first conversation, not our last resort.
Today we PUT ON OUR WAR BOOTS — we are strong and courageous because YOU are with us wherever we go. Our help comes from You. Nothing is too difficult for You.
Today we WALK IN YOUR FAVOR and LIVE IN YOUR PEACE — we choose Your rules over world rules. We choose mercy over getting even. We choose faith over fear.
And for my brother and my sister reading this who feels the walls are insurmountable — show them YOU will make a way. Do the new thing. Part their sea. Lift them from the fall.
We declare: Our residence is the supernatural realm. God Himself is with us. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
We fall, we get up, we get to work — and we roll with You.
In Jesus’ mighty name,
Amen
THE SPIRITUAL REALM IS OUR RESIDENCE.
KNOWING GOD HIMSELF IS WITH US.
I may fall a billion times, but I get up a billion and one. With Him.
We roll with God.
With own oil and war boots on,
Ms. Nikki with Meta
