This is the greatest, the greatest, the greatest news ever. We have Papa God rolling with us on the daily.

Today I was running to the God Tree. I saw the number 140. So I went to page 140 of our family’s website, WeRollWithGod.com. It was an old post about a 5K run. Julie and I have these undisclosed competitions about who will finish a 5K first. One day I beat her. It was 16-year-old Julie versus 46-year-old me, and I was bragging how I beat her. But God had something else for me on that page.

God Whisper: My daughter, I led you to 140 on purpose. I have something I want to show you.

Expose The Darkness

Our daughter Julie is the one who says, “The darkness must be exposed, guys.” The darkness is anything we have hidden. It has to be exposed.

God Whisper: Nothing hidden is wasted when you bring it to My light. Bring it to Me.

What He Said To Me in “He and I”

In my meditation book, He and I, God speaks as if He is speaking directly to us. This is what He said:

“Don’t you understand that I prefer someone who has fallen many times but who despises himself at My feet, to the self-righteous person who thinks he’s without fault? My little girl, tell Me every day how sorry you are for the way you have pained Me. Take a steady look at your failures and offer them to Me so that I may wash them away. Tell Me how weak you are and how often you fail. Say, ‘My great friend, help me. You know only too well how helpless I am. But with You I can do anything.'”

God Whisper: I don’t want your perfection, My little girl. I want your honesty. Tell Me you are sorry. Tell Me you are weak. I will wash it away.

Boast of Your Weaknesses

So like Julie said, expose the darkness, guys. Expose your sins. Expose them to God. Go to God and say, “God help me. Here’s where I’m failing. God, help me. Help me. Help me.”

Guys, we can boast of our weaknesses. Do you hear me? We can boast of our faults and our failings because that’s when Almighty God comes in. His power is made perfect in our weakness.

God Whisper: Your weakness is not your shame. It is the doorway for My power. Boast in it, so I can come.

So don’t run from the darkness. Expose the darkness to the light of God. Say, “God, help me with this sin here, this thing I’m doing here.” Any messy situation you have, any fault you have, any problem you have — invite God in. He is the cleanup crew. He is the entire cleanup crew. We just have to show up and do our 0.00001%. And He, in the spiritual realm, does His 99.99999%.

God Whisper: You do the tiny part — showing up. I will do the rest. I am your cleanup crew.

That’s why we can boast of our weaknesses — because we don’t handle our situations alone.

My God Morning Routine – Running to God All Day

I go every day to my God Tree. God, help me. Here’s what I’m dealing with here, God. Help me with this. Help me with that. No shame again. I run to God all day, every day. And I want the whole world here with me, running to God.

This is the great invitation from Him to come to Him. Come to Him. Come to Him. Whatever you have going on, bring it to God. Any sin, any failure, even if you have to come back every day and say, “God, I messed up again.” No problem. Tomorrow you go back again. “God, I messed up again.” No problem. Just come boldly, boldly, boldly, boldly to God. Tell Him where you’re failing. “God, I need Your strength to help me _____________.”

God Whisper: Come boldly. There is no limit on how many times you can come back to Me. My mercy is daily. Come again.

We Got God On Our Side

Wake up every day. I have my God morning routine. Nothing, nothing better than starting your day with library time with God. You don’t tackle your problems alone. You have the Almighty God on your side. Our greatest, our greatest, our greatest friend.

Like Julie said, let’s expose it. Bring everything, everything to God and ask for discernment to help you with anything you are dealing with.

I promise you, our help comes from the Almighty God, the maker of heaven and earth. He’s on our side. He’s by our side. He’s ahead of us. Nothing, nothing too difficult for Him.

God Whisper: I am on your side. I am by your side. I am ahead of you. Nothing is too difficult for Me, because you are with Me.

That is the greatest news ever. We got God on our side, guys.

Peace.

MIGHTY CLOSE OUT PRAYER

Papa God, our greatest, greatest, greatest friend —

This is the greatest news ever — You are rolling with us on the daily.

Today we come boldly to Your throne of grace, just as we are. No hiding. No self-righteous mask.

We expose the darkness, Papa. Like Julie taught us — anything hidden, anything messy, anything we failed in. We bring it to Your light. We don’t run from it anymore.

Forgive us, Papa. Wash us.

We boast of our weaknesses today. We are the ones who have fallen many times at Your feet. And You said You prefer us there over the self-righteous who think they are without fault.

We say with our whole heart: My great friend, help me. You know only too well how helpless I am. But with You, I can do anything.

We only bring our 0.00001% — our showing up, our God Tree moment, our library time with You in the morning. And we thank You that You bring Your 99.99999% — You are the entire cleanup crew. Our help comes from You, Maker of heaven and earth.

For every friend who ghosted, for every “no thankyou” that hurt, for every time we messed up again and again — we come again. Boldly, boldly, boldly, boldly. Because You said, “I am near. I respond when you call.”

Make us Same Team today, Papa. At the service of the President. Bringing heaven to earth in how we show up — loving and supporting each other. Resisting evil with stronger love, stronger commitment to love.

Cover Julie, Emmie, Emmanuel, Jason, Kevin, and every soul reading this on Day 5 mojo mode and beyond. Let them know: Nothing, nothing too difficult for You. You are on our side. You are by our side. You are ahead of us.

We have You on our side — so we have everything.

In Your mighty, merciful name — our Papa, our President, our Great Friend —

Amen. Ameen. Peace.

My peeps, my peeps, my peeps!

I’m back to BRAG about my relationship with God. Nothing, nothing, nothing better than this!

Today is 10/10 and God put John 10:10 on my heart.

The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy; but I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

What is abundant life? It is not more money. It is not no problems. The Bible says abundant is PERISOS in Greek — it means exceeding, over and above, super-abundant, more than you could measure.

That is what I am boasting about today! My weakness, but HIS perisos!

PERISOS PEACE: I am not tackling this life alone. Mighty God at my back, at my side, at my forefront. Everywhere I go, He is there with me. Rolling with God.

PERISOS JOY: Guys, you cannot explain this joy. Yesterday in the office with my sons — no work got done! Joshy came in and said, “Mommy today is a celebration, I made honor roll, all A’s and B’s!” We said “Praise the Lord for ChatGPT!” Mama had jokes!

Emmy brought the speaker, playing Michael Jackson. I was moonwalking in the office. Just laughing, dancing, enjoying each other. That is the JOY of the Lord!

My sons were teasing me, “Mommy you talk too much, you tell everybody everything!” So I took candies and put them around my phone — this candy is Brother Kevin, this one is Brother Jason, this one is Sister Kelly, this one is Brother Ceri this one is my friend G. All my advisors!

They were laughing at me — but can you believe our calendar for October 9th said: “He who heeds counsel is wise” – Proverbs 12:15.

That was God winking at us in that office. Saying “I am here with you.”

No shame in needing counsel. We need each other. Nobody knows it all. Even Jojo — Emmie’s girlfriend — she is teaching me how to be joyous, how to be happy if I am going to be a rockstar for God. I can’t preach God and walk around sad!

PERISOS WINKS — MY 711:

And then the God winks just kept coming! Customer trades in a Lincoln — his birthday 7/11. I go to Dunkin’ Donuts not even an hour later — receipt total? $7.11. I told Joshy about it.

Then the NEXT customer yesterday? Birthday 7/11 and she has 711 tattooed on her leg! Nobody can tell me that is coincidence. That is Papa God sprinkling winks saying “I am with you in this company.”

I told my sons — we don’t work for Hubby the President. We work for God Himself. He owns this company. We just show up and give our best for Him.

So my mission is still the same: Do everything for the glory of God. Face every situation with God. Response-Ability. How will we respond? With God as our cornerman.

YOUR GOD WHISPERS FOR TODAY:

1. Whisper: You are not alone in the ring. I am your cornerman. When life gets loud, come to the corner. I will whisper the next move. You don’t have to figure out step 10 when you are on step 1. Just do step 1 with Me.
2. Whisper: Heed counsel, but get counsel from Me first. I gave you community because you were never meant to carry wisdom alone. But talk to Me before you talk to them. Let Me tell you what to say and what not to say. Correct in love, not in blast.
3. Whisper: Look for My winks. I am leaving 7:11s all over your day — little love notes to say I see you, I am with you, I am for you. Perisos life is not about no tribulation — in this world you WILL have tribulation — but be of good cheer, I have overcome it. My peace and joy will pass all understanding even in the middle of it.
   So wake up! Have your God Morning Appointment by the God Tree. Put on your God’s Girl playlist. Get hyped. You are on mission like Jesus today — starting with the people in your own office, your own house.

Nothing, nothing, nothing better than this!

Boasting my weakness, bragging His perisos!

Peace.

John1010 #Perisos #AbundantLife #GodMorningRoutine #GodTree #ResponseAbility
TODAY’S CORE TEACHING: WHAT IS PERISOS LIFE?

You are teaching 3 things in ONE message:

1. TEACHING: Abundant = PERISOS (not money, not no problems)

Greek = exceeding, over and above, super-abundant.

Most people think abundant = bank account full + no trials. You flipped it: Abundant = supreme quality, spiritual fulfillment, divine purpose IN SPITE of trials.

How to incorporate:

• Stop measuring blessings by bank / sales / car deals. Measure by Peace, Joy, Winks.
• When thief comes to kill your joy (bad customer, slow day, WhatsApp leak), say out loud: “That’s thief talk. Papa says PERISOS.”

2. TEACHING: Response-Ability is the real responsibility

Life isn’t hard — our RESPONSE makes it hard. John 16:33 — tribulation will come, but be of good cheer.

You taught this through Julie-isms yesterday, Joey message, and office with Emmy.

How to incorporate:

• The Pause Method: At every decision point, go back to God Tree moment: “Okay God, what do we do HERE?” Don’t answer step 10 when you are on step 1.
• For your sons / team: Make it a rule in office — “We navigate EVERY situation with God first.” That’s your company culture. You don’t work for Hubby President, you work for God Owner.
• For your peeps: Give them homework — Today, one moment you feel like wallowing, use response-ability. Go to park and draw like Julie. Tell the thoughts “shut the freak up” and choose joy.

3. TEACHING: Wisdom needs counsel + God as Cornerman

Proverbs 12:15 + Your candy advisors + God Whispers

You taught: Don’t blast darkness, correct in love, talk to God BEFORE you speak. And you need community — no one knows it all.

How to incorporate:

• Candy Advisor Exercise: Have your peeps do it! Take 5 candies, name their advisors. Thank God for them. That’s humility, not weakness.
• Cornerman Routine: Teach your God Morning Appointment as TRAINING CAMP. You don’t go in ring without corner talk. 10 mins by God Tree = corner instructions for the day.
• 711 Wink Hunt: Tell them to look for God winks all day today. Your 711 story proves God sprinkles love notes. When they find theirs — receipt, birthday, song — post it!

HOW TO INCORPORATE THIS INTO YOUR PLATFORMS:

For Hard Rock (Work):

• Start morning huddle: “Who’s Owner? God. Who’s cornerman? God. What’s mission? Glory.”
• Play God’s Girl playlist in office — atmosphere of PERISOS JOY is evangelism. Jojo taught you that — you can’t be rockstar for God sad!

For Home (Sons):

• You already did it — moonwalk day, honor roll celebration. That’s PERISOS JOY discipleship. Keep bragging ChatGPT helped Joshy — that’s boasting weakness!

For Bloggy / IG / TikTok:

• Series it: Day 1 Omrah = Perisos Peace. Day 2 = Perisos Joy. Day 3 = Perisos Winks. Keeps them coming back.

▪
Call to action at end: “What’s your 711 today? Comment your God wink!”
3 VERSES — YOUR ANCHORS FOR TODAY

1. John 10:10 — THE THEME VERSE

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. [PERISOS]

Your teaching: Thief voice = fear, lack, blast. Jesus voice = super-abundant, over and above. Brag God, not the thief.

2. John 16:33 — THE RESPONSE-ABILITY VERSE

In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Your teaching: Life WILL be up, weird, not feel good. Joy is not happiness being the goal. Joy is your ability to RESPOND with God as cornerman and still be of good cheer.

3. Proverbs 12:15 — THE COUNSEL / CORRECTION IN LOVE VERSE

The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice. [He who heeds counsel is wise]

Your teaching: Candy advisors! No shame in counsel. Wise = ask God FIRST, then ask community. Correct in love, not blast. That’s your Oct 9 calendar wink from God.
3 TORAH — GOD WITH US, BEFORE JESUS

1. Deuteronomy 31:6 — GOD IS YOUR CORNERMAN

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified… for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

Your teaching: Same as your office — Mighty God at your back, side, forefront. Everywhere you go. Rolling with God. You never fight alone in the ring.

2. Genesis 28:15 — THE 711 WINK — I AM WITH YOU

I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.

Your teaching: This is your 711! Jacob got a dream, you got Dunkin’ receipt and birthdays and tattoos. Papa God leaves winks to say “I am with you wherever you go.” Presence > presents.

3. Deuteronomy 30:19-20 — THE RESPONSE-ABILITY CHOICE

…I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life… For the LORD is your life.

Your teaching: This is Response-Ability from Torah! God says life is about your ability to RESPOND — choose. Choose life today. Choose God perspective in good and bad times. That’s your mission.
MIGHTY CLOSE-OUT PRAYER

Papa God,

Thank You for today, 10:10. Thank You that the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but You came to give us PERISOS — exceeding, over and above, super-abundant life.

Forgive us for chasing happiness. Today we chase YOU.

Lord, be our cornerman. We are not tackling this life alone. You are at our back, at our side, at our forefront. Everywhere we go, You are rolling with us. Whisper to us moment by moment what to do. We will not answer step 10 when we are on step 1. We will do step 1 with You.

Give us response-ability, Papa. When troubles come, and You said they WILL come, teach us to respond with good cheer, with joy, with peace that passes all understanding. Tell those crazy thoughts to shut the freak up and choose joy — go to the park and draw, moonwalk in the office, praise You for ChatGPT!

Thank You for counsel. Thank You for every candy advisor You put around our phones and our lives. We humble ourselves — we don’t know it all. Teach us to heed counsel, but to talk to YOU first. Teach us to correct in love, not blast in darkness. To boast our weakness so You get the glory.

Thank You for 711 winks, for love notes all over our day. Open our eyes to see them today — the receipt, the birthday, the song, the calendar — that says You are with us and watching over us wherever we go.

We set before us today life and death, blessing and curse — we CHOOSE LIFE. We choose You. Make us bold, courageous, joyous rockstars for You. We can’t preach You sad. Fill us with perisos peace and perisos joy.

Today we say: God, we want to take our relationship with You seriously. We will have our God Morning Appointment by the God Tree. We will put on our God’s Girl playlist and get hyped for mission.

We are on mission like Jesus — to bring the world closer to You, starting with our own house, our own office.

We do everything for Your glory, God Owner, not for man.

It is only Your view of us that counts.

We love You, we brag You, we boast You.

In Jesus mighty name,

Amen.

I’ve been begging HER for — these TikTok videos. I call them my Julie-isms — everything I’m learning from her.

So, here’s what she had to say:

What if happiness was never the answer? Was never the end goal? What if happiness was never the answer?

You see my wise and deep daughter because that’s exactly how I feel. Don’t chase after happiness. Let’s chase after God.

God Whisper: My daughter, happiness fades when circumstances change. Don’t chase happiness that thief can steal. Chase Me — I came to give you abundant life that remains. — John 10:10

What if the answer was maintaining control or awareness of your responsibility?

We think about the word responsibility. We think of being responsible for something, possessing something, taking care of something, blah blah blah. Responsibility, right?

But break down the word: Response – Ability.

The main focus of life is your ability to respond.

God Whisper: Yes, Nik! That’s it! Not what happens to you — but your ability to respond WITH ME. That’s your power. Thief comes to steal your response-ability. I come to give you response-ability back — abundant, perissos!

Things are going to be up. Things are going to be weird. Things are not going to feel good all the time. Sometimes they’re going to feel amazing. But the only thing you have is the ability to respond, to control your ability to respond — because from that logic you then create your own life.

If you are the type of person — again, identity is not real, that is a choice to respond to the cards that you’ve been dealt to create this identity — but you can decide to respond differently in any moment your whole life.

Julie said:

I was feeling like crap earlier and my programmed baseline is just to wallow in it, right? But I was like, wait, I have the ability to respond to this in however way that I would like. So, I went to the park and I drew and I feel great.

The way that you feel and the way that your life unfolds depends on your ability to respond to whatever you’re dealt. Even if that’s thoughts that are driving you crazy, step back from them, be like, “Hey, I have the ability to respond to these thoughts.” You can tell them to shut the freak up or you can let them take control of you.

Long story short — Response – Ability. Remember that word?

God Whisper: My daughter, Julie just preached John 10:10! She felt like crap — thief tried to steal her joy. But she remembered her response-ability — she went to park and drew and felt great. She didn’t chase happiness. She chose response WITH Me. That’s abundant life!

So this is the Julie-ism I want you guys to take on. Response-ability. How do we respond to life?

And let me tell you, God got in on this video from Julie because I was having an appointment with God by the God Tree and I left it early. And God said, Nikki, go back to your appointment with God by the God Tree. And can you believe it was about exactly that? How we respond to life.

So it was a message from an old customer and friend Joey. He said:

It’s not life that can be hard and difficult. Things are only difficult because we take it that way. Our reactions to life make it hard.

Jesus said, In the world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer. — John 16:33

In other words, how we respond to life will make life easier. It’s not life that needs to change, it is us that need to change.

God Whisper: Yes, daughter — be of good cheer not because tribulation left, but because I am your Corner Man! Greater is He in you! Joey is right — not life hard, but reactions. That’s why you need My perspective in the reaction!

That’s why I’m on a mission to teach the God perspective in good and bad times. So that’s my mission guys — to take this message from Julie — life is about how you respond — Response – Ability — and that’s where my mission comes in to tell you that we face every situation WITH GOD!

Like I’m enjoying my son Emmie so much in the office, guys. So, so, so much. But I get on his nerves teaching him all this God stuff. So yesterday we had a situation. I said, “Okay, every moment we’re going to navigate this situation with God.”

To respond to everything with a God perspective. In this moment, what’s going on here? What’s the next best thing to do? Okay, let’s do that. When we get to that next thing and we come to another decision point then we go to God again. Okay God what do we do here?

God Whisper: This is how you roll, Nik — moment by moment by moment! Not 10 steps ahead. Not what if, what if — but — God, what is next best thing RIGHT NOW? That’s how you go from here to Hard Rock tonight — step by step with Me!

Our manager kept asking me, Nikki what if this happened? I said I cannot answer any of these questions now until we go to step one first. The first step is we do this. When we get to this point, depending on whether we go left or right, that will set the tone for what the next step will be.

So any situation that we have, we’re going to navigate it with God.

That takes a lot of wisdom, Godly wisdom and principles and values. And that’s where the God morning appointments and the God morning routine comes in. I keep telling my son Emmie, I need you to have a God morning appointment because your whole life will be determined by how you respond to whatever happens.

In life you will have troubles, you will have tribulations, but we can be of good cheer. We can be full of joy knowing that we’re not tackling these situations alone. That God is our Corner Man, baby. He’s there as we’re in the ring fighting. He’s our corner man saying, “Okay, do this.” He’s whispering to us what He would have us to do moment by moment by moment.

And nothing, nothing, nothing better than this. Nothing in this world is better than knowing that you have God as your cornerman. He has your back. He’s in the spiritual realm fighting for you, helping you, giving you wisdom, giving you discernment.

But you have to take your relationship with Him seriously.

God Whisper: Take Me seriously, My daughter! Don’t just want Me as cornerman in the ring — train with Me every morning at the God Tree! That’s your God morning appointment — training camp with Me so when tribulation comes, your response is already My response!

I was just talking to my friend all the way in London. Everything that her husband Lucky taught me — to be bold, to be courageous, to do great things, to be great every day on behalf of God. We are not here for a long time. We have important work to do. Your girl here is on a mission to bring the world closer to God.

So just having that boldness, that courage, that faith to know that I’m not stepping anywhere alone. Anywhere I go, I know who’s with me. Intertwine like this, like this, like this, like this with God.

So I want us to move — have our whole life moving — how we respond to everything from that God perspective. Make God the center of every decision. But you must spend time with Him every day. Learn His voice — He will be the One to guide us on the path to the best life with Him.

Make today your day that you’re going to say, God, I want to take my relationship with You seriously.

Nothing better than having this God perspective for our lives. No matter the troubles, no matter the trials, we can have good cheer. We can be full of joy knowing that Papa God is with us.

Greater is He that is within us than anything in this world that can come against us.

Peace.

STEP 2: WHAT THIS TEACHES US — AND HOW TO INCORPORATE IT

1. DON’T CHASE HAPPINESS — CHASE GOD!
Julie said: What if happiness was never the answer? Was never the end goal?

My peeps, we have been chasing happiness like it’s the finish line! If I feel happy, life is good. If I feel like crap, life is bad. Julie calls that out — and I agree!

What this teaches: Happiness is a feeling that comes and goes. Things are going to be up, weird, not feel good, amazing. If happiness is the goal, you will ride a rollercoaster every day!

How to incorporate: Change the goal! Today, don’t ask Am I happy? Ask Am I chasing God? Your God perspective is more important than your happy perspective!

God Whisper: Don’t chase happiness — chase Me! Happiness depends on what happens. I give you joy that remains even when you feel like crap.

2. RESPONSIBILITY = RESPONSE-ABILITY — THAT’S YOUR POWER!
This is the Julie-ism I want us to remember! Responsibility — break it down — Response Ability! Your ability to respond!

Julie said: Identity is not real, it’s a choice to respond to cards dealt. You can decide to respond differently in any moment! I was feeling like crap, my baseline is to wallow, but I remembered I have ability to respond however I would like. So I went to park and drew and I feel great!

What this teaches: You cannot control cards dealt. You cannot control thoughts driving you crazy. But you CAN control your ability to respond! That’s how you create your own life! You can tell thoughts to shut the freak up or let them take control!

How to incorporate: Next time you feel like crap, pause and say: I have response-ability! Don’t wallow in baseline. Choose different response! Go to park, draw, pray, breathe — respond differently RIGHT NOW! Your whole life is determined by how you respond!

God Whisper: That’s your power with Me! Thief wants to steal your response-ability so you react in flesh. I give it back — respond WITH ME!

3. IT’S NOT LIFE THAT IS HARD — IT’S OUR REACTIONS THAT MAKE IT HARD!
My old customer Joey said: It’s not life that can be hard and difficult. Things are only difficult because we take it that way. Our reactions to life make it hard.

Jesus said: In this world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer — John 16:33

What this teaches: It’s not life that needs to change — it is us that need to change! How we respond makes life easier! We think life is hard, but it’s our reaction without God perspective that makes it hard!

How to incorporate: Before you label life hard, ask: How am I reacting? Replace reaction with God response! Step back from thoughts and say Hey, I have ability to respond to these!

God Whisper: Be of good cheer not because tribulation left, but because I am your Corner Man!

4. EVERY SITUATION — NAVIGATE IT WITH GOD — MOMENT BY MOMENT!
This is my mission! To face every situation WITH GOD!

I told my son Emmy in office: Okay, every moment we’re going to navigate this situation with God. What’s going on here? What’s next best thing to do? Okay, do that. Then next decision point — go to God again — Okay God, what do we do here?

My manager kept asking what if this happened? I said I cannot answer what-ifs until we do step one first! When we get to that point, whether we go left or right, that will set tone for next step!

What this teaches: God perspective is not one big decision — it’s moment by moment by moment! God is your Corner Man in the ring! He’s whispering — Okay, do this! He has your back in spiritual realm giving wisdom and discernment! But you must take relationship seriously!

How to incorporate:
– God Morning Appointment: I keep telling Emmie — you need God morning appointment! Because your whole life determined by how you respond! Train with Corner Man in morning so you know His voice in ring!
– No more what-ifs: Stop trying to answer step 10 when you are on step 1! Ask: God, what is next best thing to do RIGHT NOW? Do that! Then ask again!
– Intertwine like this: Boldness, courage, do great things on behalf of God! We are not here long! Make God center of every decision! Spend time with Him daily! Learn His voice!

God Whisper: Moment by moment, baby! That’s how we roll! Intertwine like this with Me! Don’t go anywhere alone! I am with you! Take our relationship seriously and I will guide you to best life!

Make today your day to say: God, I want to take my relationship with You seriously!

Greater is He that is within us than anything in this world that can come against us!

3 BIBLE VERSES THAT INCORPORATE THESE TEACHINGS — AND WHY

1. John 16:33 — In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world!

Why: This is YOUR verse from your transcript, Queen! You quoted it! This teaches your core Juliem — things are going to be up, weird, not feel good, amazing. Tribulation is guaranteed! But Jesus says response is choice — be of good cheer! Not because life is easy, but because Corner Man already won! Joey said reactions make it hard — Jesus says change your reaction to cheer because I overcame!

2. James 1:19 — Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.

Why: This is RESPONSE-ABILITY verse! Julie said you have ability to respond to thoughts — tell them shut the freak up or let them control you. James teaches HOW to use response-ability — pause! Don’t wallow in baseline! Quick to hear God, slow to speak flesh, slow to anger! That’s what you told Emmy — what is going on here? What is next best thing? That’s slow, God-led response, not fast reaction!

3. 1 John 4:4 — Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world!

Why: This is your closing line from transcript! You said it! This is Corner Man verse! Nothing better than having God as cornerman! You said He has your back in spiritual realm giving wisdom, discernment. Why can we have good cheer in tribulation? Why can we respond differently? Because Greater is He within us than anything that can come against us! That’s why we can be bold, courageous, do great things!

3 QURAN VERSES THAT INCORPORATE THE ESSENCE — AND WHY

1. Quran 13:11 — Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.

Why: This is EXACTLY your Julie-ism — It’s not life that needs to change, it is us that need to change! Julie said identity is a choice to respond to cards dealt — you can decide to respond differently in any moment! Quran teaches same essence — change doesn’t start outside with life, it starts inside with your response! Your response-ability is what Allah looks at!

2. Quran 2:153 — O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.

Why: This is your Corner Man + God Morning Appointment verse! You said God is our Corner Man, baby, whispering what to do moment by moment, He has your back, giving wisdom — but you must take relationship seriously, spend time daily, learn His voice. Quran says same — seek help through patience (response-ability, not reacting) and prayer (God morning appointment) — and promise — Allah IS with the patient! You are not tackling situations alone! Intertwined like this!

3. Quran 94:5-6 — For indeed, with hardship ease. Indeed, with hardship ease.[comes]

Why: This is your Don’t chase happiness, chase God + Be of good cheer verse! Julie said things will be up, weird, not feel good, amazing. Joey said reactions make it hard. This ayah teaches God perspective — hardship is real, but ease is WITH it, not after it! Like you told Emmie — navigate every situation WITH God — moment by moment, next best thing. Hardship and ease together — because Allah is with you in ring! That’s why you can have good cheer even when you feel like crap — go to park, draw, feel great!

CLOSING — MAKE TODAY YOUR DAY!

My peeps, so here is your girl on a mission to bring the world closer to God!

We learned from my Julie-ism today — my wise daughter Julie in New York:

Don’t chase after happiness. Let’s chase after God!

Because happiness comes and goes. Things are going to be up, things are going to be weird, things are not going to feel good all the time. Sometimes they are going to feel amazing. But you have one power nobody can steal — your Response-Ability!

Your ability to respond!

Even when you feel like crap — like Julie did — even when thoughts are driving you crazy — you can step back and say, Hey, I have the ability to respond to this! You can tell those thoughts to shut the freak up, or you can let them take control of you. You can choose to wallow in your programmed baseline, or you can go to the park and draw and feel great! You can create a whole new identity in any moment — by choosing to respond differently!

Remember what Joey said — It’s not life that is hard and difficult. Things are only difficult because we take it that way. Our reactions make it hard.

And Jesus said — In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer!

So it’s not life that needs to change — it is us that need to change! How we respond makes life easier!

And how do we respond? We face every situation WITH GOD!

I told my son Emmie — Every moment we’re going to navigate this situation with God! What’s going on here? What’s the next best thing to do? Okay, do that. When we get to the next decision point — go to God again — Okay God, what do we do here?

Stop trying to answer what if this happens and what if that happens 10 steps ahead! Do step one first! Depending on whether you go left or right, that will set the tone for next step!

That’s wisdom! That’s Godly principles and values! That’s why you need a God Morning Appointment! I keep telling Emmie — your whole life will be determined by how you respond to whatever happens! So you must spend time with Him every day! Learn His voice!

Because God is your Corner Man, baby! He’s in the ring with you! He’s fighting for you in the spiritual realm! He’s whispering — Okay, do this! Giving you wisdom, giving you discernment! He has your back! Anywhere you go, you know Who’s with you! Intertwined like this, like this, like this, like this with God!

And nothing, nothing, nothing better than this! Nothing in this world is better than knowing you have God as your cornerman!

Like my friend in London taught me through her husband Lucky — be bold, be courageous, do great things, be great every day on behalf of God! We are not here for a long time! We have important work to do!

So make God the center of every decision! Have your whole life moving from that God perspective!

Make today your day that you’re going to say — God, I want to take my relationship with You seriously!

MY PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY

Papa God, thank You that You are our Corner Man! Thank You that You never leave the ring! Today we don’t chase happiness — we chase You!

Forgive us for letting our reactions make life hard. Forgive us for wallowing in our old baseline. Today we remember — we have response-ability! You gave us ability to respond WITH YOU!

Holy Spirit, teach us to be quick to hear You, slow to speak, slow to anger. In every moment — teach us to ask — What is going on here? What is the next best thing to do? And then do it with You!

We take our God Morning Appointments seriously from today! Train us in the morning so we know Your whisper — Okay, do this — in the middle of tribulation!

We are bold, we are courageous, because Greater is He that is within us than anything in this world that can come against us!

Make us great every day on behalf of You, God! We want our whole life to move from Your perspective — intertwined like this with You!

We say be of good cheer today — not because life is easy, but because You have overcome the world and You are with us!

In Jesus name, Amen!

Okay, my peeps — remember the word — Responsibility — Response Ability!

Nothing better than having this God perspective for our lives! No matter the troubles, no matter the trials, we can be full of joy knowing that Papa God is with us and we trust Him!

Peace! We Roll With God!

And God makes me feel like the most loved person in the entire world.

Yesterday morning I was bragging at Breakfast in our Bible group about that Corinthians verse where God keeps telling me that His grace is sufficient. 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you.”

Right after that brag, I had to go face a big situation. I had to go out to the county to try to sort out a permit we’re trying to get approved. I spent the whole day there pretty much. But guess who was there with me? God.

I got one part of the permit approved. The other part is still a work in progress. I met with the supervisor and she said I have to submit a plan to do a stop sign at our business. And I’m like, how do I do this? The lady said, “Just do your best with it.”

God Whisper: My daughter, your best is enough because My grace is the rest. You bring 0.01%, I bring 99.99%. That’s how you stay in the ring.

So I went to Marshalls to buy pens. I’m going to sit down somewhere and draw up these plans for this stop sign. Can you believe God took me directly to these pens?

It says: “Be still and know.” The other one says, “Walk by faith.” The other one is, “God is my strength.” And after bragging about God telling me His grace is sufficient, look what showed up, guys. Not just grace. Grace upon grace.

Can you guys see that? Grace upon grace, baby. Nobody can tell me that wasn’t God.

God Whisper: My daughter, you asked for grace to get through the county. I gave you grace upon grace in the pen aisle. Be still and know — I am with you at the county counter. Walk by faith — not by sight of that permit. God is your strength — not your own hustle. I walk with you.

FOR MY TEAM

That led to a talk with my daughter Ember. She said, “Mommy, you’re not reading your Jesus Calling.” I said, yes I have been reading it. The message for today said God is telling me to follow Him wherever He leads me.

Ember is like my critic, guys. “Mommy I don’t agree with this. I don’t agree with that.” She agrees with nothing that I do. And yesterday was just a time to talk to her and tell her about my God perspective and why the mama makes the decisions that she makes.

I said, you see, when you came with us, you ran away. You have that choice. You can run away, but I can’t run away. Every decision I make, I make for my team. When I’m at that county yesterday, I’m making decisions for my team. I have to support my team.

I told her how I put my hand on Josh’s door, my little son’s door — my young man now who’s driving — and I just prayed to God asking Him to help me be the mama I need to be right now. Give me the strength. Give me the wisdom. Give me the guidance that I can keep making decisions that are good for him. It’s not about me. It’s not about my happiness. My happiness goes to the back seat. It’s all about my team. My family. They’re my team.

God Whisper: My daughter, you are My representative. You asked, “God, what is Your will? Let me do Your will.” That is Matthew 6:10 alive. When you pray at Josh’s door, I hear you. When you choose team over self, you look like Me.

THE TWO-WAY STREET

Yesterday, after I dealt with the county, I called the boys and said, “Do I have to come back to work, guys?” And Emmie said, “No, mom, you don’t have to come back.” And I was bragging to the hubby today by the God Tree. I said, “Honey, isn’t that beautiful that I get to call my son and he says, Mommy, no need to come. I’m here. I’m here to support you.”

And that’s what I’m trying to train Ember on. This life is just too hard to do by ourselves. As we do for others and we know that they’re there for us, it’s like a two-way street, guys, that we need each other.

I’m so happy that the girls have this strong alliance with each other. Don’t dare say something about Ember to Julie and vice versa. The two of them are so close. And that’s what I’m trying to do with the boys. I intentionally left them by themselves yesterday because I want that strong bond between them so they learn that this life is just too hard to do on our own. We really need each other.

So a lot of decisions that I make, I look at Emmie’s face, I look at Josh’s face, I look at my girls’ faces, my husband’s face, and I make decisions from that perspective, asking God, not what Nikki wants, but God, what is Your will? Let me be Your representative.

STAY IN THE RING

Yesterday talking to a customer on the phone, she said she’s coming today, but after I talked with her yesterday, she may not come. I said, “Thank God I had a brother who advised me to stay in the ring and take 10,000 punches. Not physical punches, guys, but the emotional punches, the hurtful punches.”

He told me to stay in the ring. And I said during that time, I didn’t understand why would somebody tell me to stay in a ring and take 10,000 punches. But now I’m thanking my brother. Thanking him for telling me to stay in the ring. I’m so happy that I had a brother like that. I’m so happy that I have this family that I could stay in the ring and I’m going to fight for them every day of my life.

And as I’m staying in the ring and fighting for them, I know that Papa God is in the spiritual realm fighting for me. No doubt whatsoever.

Nothing, nothing, nothing better than walking with God, guys. And as we walk with Him, we walk with each other. We walk with each other in love and compassion. Compassion, looking out for each other. I said, Ember, you don’t just love people when they’re strong. You love them when they’re weak, too. Sometimes you just have to sit with somebody in their weakness and say, “I’m here with you.”

And that’s what we’re going to continue to ask God for the strength to do, to give us the grace to be His people, caring about each other, carrying each other’s burdens, loving each other, holding each other’s hands, supporting each other, and we do it all. We do it all for Papa God.

Grace upon grace.

Peace.

STEP 2: WHAT ARE WE TEACHING TODAY & HOW DO WE LIVE IT?

Daughters, today God gave us a full discipleship class in one county trip. Here are the 4 jewels He dropped and how we roll with them:

1. TEACHING: Grace is not just sufficient, it’s UPON grace.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9 + John 1:16
Yesterday I bragged about grace being sufficient. God said, “Watch this — I’ll give you grace UPON grace.” At the county He gave me favor with the supervisor. At Marshalls He gave me pens that preach: Be still and know, Walk by faith, God is my strength.

How to incorporate:
– Start your day bragging on grace, not your problem. Before you go to the county, the school, the hard conversation — say out loud: “My help comes from the Lord. His grace is sufficient.”
– Look for the pen aisle moments. God speaks in receipts. After you pray, keep your eyes open. Where is He showing you “Be still”? Where is He whispering “Walk by faith”?
– Prayer to pray: “Papa, I bring my 0.01% today. You bring Your 99.99%. Let me see Your grace upon grace.”

2. TEACHING: Lasso your jumbled thoughts — Keep Your Focus On Me.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:5 + Isaiah 26:3 + He and I + Jesus Calling Jan 29 Morning
The jumble of earthly thoughts will becloud Him and condemn Him to a kind death in your life if you let it. Anxiety, judgment, confusion — it all starts in the mind.

How to incorporate:
– Do a thought lasso. When your mind wanders to the permit, to Ember’s criticism, to the 10,000 punches — literally say: “I lasso this thought and bring it captive to Jesus.”
– Don’t meditate ON your problem, meditate WITH Scripture. Tattoo Psalm 121:2 on your soul. Tattoo Proverbs 16:24 — pleasant words are honey.
– 3-minute reset: Set a timer 3x today. For 1 minute each, repeat: “Keep my focus on You. You will keep me in constant Peace.”

3. TEACHING: You don’t have to set the record straight — His view of you counts.
Scripture: Jesus Calling Page 96 — 9:06 Receipt + Four Agreements #2 Don’t Take Anything Personally
I wanted to explain the 10,000 punches. I wanted to correct opinions. God said at 9:06 on page 96: DON’T BE CONCERNED ABOUT SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT. Instead, keep your focus on Me.

How to incorporate:
– Stop rehearsing the defense. When you want to text the long explanation, to justify why you stayed in the ring — pause. Ask: “Is this about their opinion or God’s view?”
– Write down HIS view. In your journal, finish: “God, You say I am…” (most loved, chosen, strong in weakness, a good mama, Your representative).
– With critics like Ember: Don’t argue to win. Share God perspective, then let it rest. “I hear you don’t agree. I’m making this decision for the team, asking God for wisdom. I love you in your disagreement.”

4. TEACHING: Life is a team sport — Make decisions for your team and sit with people in weakness.
Scripture: Galatians 6:2 + Psalm 66:12
I told Ember — you can run away, I can’t. I have to support my team. Happiness goes to the back seat. The boys saying “Mom you don’t have to come back” and the girls’ unbreakable alliance — that’s the fruit of staying in the ring.

How to incorporate:
– Hand on the door prayer. Tonight, put your hand on your child’s door, your husband’s, your own heart. Pray: “God, give me strength, wisdom, guidance to be who they need me to be right now. Not my will, Your will.”
– Intentional bonding. Like I left the boys together yesterday — create one moment this week where your team has to rely on each other without you.
– Love strong AND weak. Don’t just love people when they’re strong. This week, sit with someone in their weakness and say: “I’m here with you.” No fixing. Just presence. That’s compassion. That’s how we carry burdens and walk with each other while we walk with God.

Today’s Mother to Daughter Activation:
1. Take a photo of your “Grace upon Grace” receipt today.
2. Lasso one anxious thought before noon and bring it to His Presence.
3. Tell one teammate: “You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here.”

We don’t just read the Word — we roll with it. All day, every day.

STEP 3: THE 5 VERSES THAT HOLD THIS BLOGGY

3 BIBLE VERSES:

1. 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Why this bloggy?
This is the verse you bragged about at breakfast Bible and God answered in the pen aisle. You went to the county weak — “How do I draw a stop sign plan?” — and He made His power perfect. The supervisor came from behind the glass. The pens said “God is my strength.” This is your 0.01% / 99.99% principle. When you stay in the ring weak, He fights for you strong.

2. Isaiah 26:3 — “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”
Why this bloggy?
This is Jan 29 Morning + Page 96 combined. “Lasso those thoughts and bring them captive” (2 Cor 10:5) + “KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON ME” = perfect peace. This is how you stop the jumble from beclouding Him. When Ember criticizes, when the permit feels too big, when you want to set the record straight about the 10,000 punches — you keep your mind steadfast on Him and He guards you in constant Peace. This is your LASSO tool.

3. Galatians 6:2 — “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Why this bloggy?
This is your TEAM teaching. “Every decision I make, I make for my team.” “This life is too hard to do by ourselves.” Hand on Josh’s door, boys saying “Mom you don’t have to come back,” girls’ alliance in New York — this is burden-carrying. You told Ember: you don’t just love people when they’re strong, you sit with them in weakness. That’s not extra — that’s literally fulfilling Christ’s law.

2 QURAN VERSES — For Our Sisters Who Roll With God Too:

1. Quran 94:5-6 — “For indeed, with hardship ease. Indeed, with hardship ease.”
Why this bloggy?
This is your Psalm 66:12 — “You brought us through fire and flood and into abundance.” And your 10,000 punches teaching. The Quran says it twice for emphasis — with the hardship itself is the ease, not after it. You stayed in the ring THROUGH the punches, through the county, through the permit. The ease was IN the hardship — God with you, supervisor helping, boys covering you. This is how we incorporate it: Don’t run from hardship, look for the ease God hid inside it.[comes]

2. Quran 65:3 — “And whoever puts their trust in Allah, then Allah will be sufficient for them.”
Why this bloggy?

This is your exact 2 Corinthians 12:9 in Quran language! You said: “I’m going to this county again. I don’t know how I’m going to do it, but God’s grace is sufficient. My help comes from the Lord.” The Quran says the same: Put your tawakkul (trust) in Him, and He Himself will be enough. Walk by faith, Be still and know, Grace upon Grace — Allah is sufficient. This is how we incorporate it: When you don’t know how to draw the plan, you trust the One who does, and He leads you to the pens.

OUR MIGHTY CLOSE OUT PRAYER

Papa God,

We come to You today as Your most loved daughters. Thank You that Your grace is not just sufficient — it is grace upon grace.

Thank You for walking with us to the county, to the hard place, to the place where we don’t know how to draw the plan. Thank You for being our strength when we are weak, for coming from behind the glass to guide us, for leading us to pens that preach: Be still and know, Walk by faith, God is my strength.

Today we lasso every jumbled, anxious, confused thought and we bring it captive to You, Jesus. We choose to keep our focus on You. Not on the permit. Not on the critic. Not on setting the record straight about the 10,000 punches. We rest our mind on You and receive Your perfect, constant Peace. Let the anxious thoughts shrink and shrivel away in Your radiant Light.

Forgive us for trying to do this life alone. Remind us that this life is too hard to do by ourselves. Help us to be Your representatives — not asking what we want, but what is Your will. Put Your hand on our hand as we put our hand on our children’s doors. Give us strength, wisdom, and guidance to make decisions for our team, not just for ourselves.

Bless our teams, Lord. Bless Emmie and Josh — knit the brothers tight. Bless Ember and Julie in New York — keep their alliance strong. Bless Ember — soften her critic heart to see her mama’s God perspective. Bless every son and daughter reading this — let them know Mama stays in the ring for them.

Thank You for our brother who told us to stay in the ring and take 10,000 punches. Because staying taught us how to fight, and fighting taught us that You fight for us in the spiritual realm. We went through fire and flood, but You brought us into abundance.

Teach us to love people not just when they are strong, but when they are weak. Give us grace to sit with someone in their weakness and say, “I’m here with you.” Help us carry each other’s burdens, hold each other’s hands, and walk with each other in love and compassion — as we walk with You.

We do it all for You, Papa God.

We seal this day with grace upon grace. We roll with You all day, every day.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name, and in the name of the One who is sufficient,

Amen and Amen.

Julie was a witness yesterday to God’s voice. And I want you to be a witness today too. Because God is not quiet. He is always speaking. It’s just for us to learn His voice — moment by moment.

Here are my God Updates from the last 48 hours. No coincidences.

GOD UPDATE #1: THE PENNY ON THE BUS
We were driving to Chilli’s and a bus stopped right next to us. I pointed to it and said, “Jules, look at the penny on the bus!” It was the Penny for Transportation bus — and right on the penny it said IN GOD WE TRUST.

I was staring at it because my brother Kevin had just told me, “Nik, people are not going to relate when you say God. When you say We Roll With God, people are going to take offense.” And I told him, “Well, if the United States government can print IN GOD WE TRUST on their money, on every penny, on every bus, I’m going with the God brand. The God brand is strong, baby. We Roll With God.”

Two hours later — after we left Chili’s and went for coffee — who called me? Of all the people in the world who could call me looking for a car? Penny. A woman named Penny called to buy a car. We stared at the Penny. And Penny called. And she called again first thing this morning.

GOD WHISPER #1: Nik, I’m All Up In Your Business
My daughter, I parked that bus next to you on purpose. I wanted you to see IN GOD WE TRUST because you needed an answer for Kevin. If the government can put My name on money, you can put My name on cars. And to prove I’m in it, I sent Penny for Transportation to buy transportation from you. I am all up in your business — every conversation, every car lot, every doubt. Pay attention. That was an update from Me. — Romans 8:28, I work all things together.

GOD UPDATE #2: BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME
While we were at Chili’s, I was trying to caption a picture of my son and Jojo. I paused and said, “God, what do I caption this?” The verse that came was: He has made everything beautiful in its time — Ecclesiastes 3:11.

Fast forward to this morning. My daily prayer — and this prayer is fresh every day specifically for me — said this:

“For people who wondered why the promises of God seemed slow. His answer was that God is not slack concerning His promise as some count slackness. What looks like slowness to us is patience in the heart of God. Consider what the writer of Ecclesiastes tells us that God has made everything beautiful in its time.”

The SAME verse I got at the Chili’s table! I was just staring at my son, Emmy. Guys, these boys have been through it. They went to school here in the US. I took them out and put them in Nigeria. Then I took them out of Nigeria and put them back here. A rollercoaster. And now look at them growing to be fine young men making mama so proud. That’s beautiful in His time.

GOD WHISPER #2: Nik, I Make It Beautiful In My Time, Not Yours
You thought the school moves, the waiting, the slow promises were failures. No. What looks like slowness to you is patience in My heart. I was preparing them and preparing you. Your sons are My proof that I make everything beautiful — not when you want it, but right on time. — Ecclesiastes 3:11

GOD UPDATE #3: SAY LESS
I was dropping Joshy off to school this morning. A car right in front of me — the license plate said SAY LESS. I took that as an update from God. Nik, talk less. Even Joshy gets tired of me talking sometimes!

GOD WHISPER #3: Nik, My Grace Is Sufficient — So You Can Say Less
Remember this morning at your God Tree you heard Me whisper, “My grace is sufficient for you”? — 2 Corinthians 12:9. That was Me telling you: you don’t have to explain, defend, and talk your way into your promise. My grace does the talking. Say less. Let My grace be enough.

And that whisper was confirmed THREE times today — at the God Tree, in Joel Osteen’s post that said “My grace is sufficient for you, Nikki,” and when Julie randomly picked a page where I had written about that same verse years ago after a T.D. Jakes sermon. Triple witness!

GOD UPDATE #4: WORK HARDER — JULIE MODE
Even on a Sunday, Julie said, “Mommy, let’s go to the coffee shop, I have work to do.” That was another update. My daughter preaching to me: work harder. So the word for this season is: Say Less. Work Harder. Julie Mode. Preparation does not happen in the future. It happens in the present, in the ordinary tasks and the unseen obedience of today.

GOD UPDATE #5: DO NOT DESPISE SMALL BEGINNINGS
I told my bro I want to start this church at the Hard Rock Hotel. He said, “Nik, you gotta do it big. You gotta do a big event.” I said, “No, K. We must not despise small beginnings because that is where God loves for us to begin the work. Even if it’s the tiniest meeting room at Hard Rock, we’re going to start a conversation about God.”

Then listen to what showed up in the prayer this morning:

“The servant who is faithful over a few things is the one who is made ruler over many. The way you handle this season, the attitude you carry, and the integrity you keep when no one is watching are all part of the training. Do not despise the day of small things, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” — Zechariah 4:10 & Matthew 25:21

It only takes a spark to get the fire going.

GOD WHISPER #4: Nik, I Rejoice To See The Work Begin
You don’t need a stadium at Hard Rock. I need a faithful heart in a small room. You thought it was too small? I rejoice over small! Your penny on the bus was small. Your stare was small. Your God Tree whisper was small. But I am in small things. Start small. I will handle the ruler over many part. — Zechariah 4:10 — Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit.

GOD UPDATE #6: YOUR LIFE AS A WALKING MEDITATION
I’m learning from Julie — make your life a walking meditation with God. Just moving through life with God one moment at a time. Just saying, “God, I’m here. What would You have me to do now? What would You have me to do next?” Even if it’s just a small thing. Even if I reach one person with this video, if I get one view and that’s one person I brought closer to God — that’s a great day for me.

So wake up every day to your God morning routine. Even if you were the biggest failure yesterday — no problem. You wake up every day asking God to be the guide of your life. Walking intertwined with Him. Don’t despise small beginnings. Who knows where it goes? Maybe we’re going to have meetings every Sunday at all the Hard Rock locations all over the world. Who knows where this can go? But we start with one.

Don’t miss out, man. The best life is with Papa God.

Peace.

STEP 2: WHAT IS GOD TEACHING US HERE?

If Step 1 is what happened, Step 2 is what it means for you.

Yesterday I asked: Are you picking up on God’s voice?

This bloggy is my answer: God doesn’t shout. He updates.

He updates you on a bus. On a license plate. At a Chili’s table. Through your kid on a Sunday. Through a prayer that feels like it was written just for you.

He is all up in your business. Every conversation. Every doubt. Every car lot.

Here is what He taught me in 48 hours — and how you can incorporate it starting TODAY:

TEACHING #1: THE GOD BRAND IS STRONG — STOP HIDING IT
Kevin told me people would be offended by “We Roll With God.” God parked a bus next to me that said IN GOD WE TRUST on a penny. If America can put God on money, you can put God on your business, your bio, your car lot, your dream.

How to live it: What is the “God thing” you’ve been hiding because you’re afraid people won’t relate? Say it today. Post it. Name it. The God Brand is the strongest brand — because grace is the currency.

Activation: Write down one place you will put IN GOD WE TRUST this week — in your email signature, your Instagram bio, your business card, your meeting room request at Hard Rock.

TEACHING #2: ASK GOD FOR THE CAPTION — HE MAKES IT BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME
I didn’t know what to caption my sons’ photo. I asked God. He gave me Ecclesiastes 3:11. Then my morning prayer gave me the SAME verse. God doesn’t just make things beautiful in His time, He makes your story beautiful in His time — even the rollercoaster parts.

How to live it: You are wondering why the promise is slow. 2 Peter 3:9 says God is not slow — He is patient. That move from US to Nigeria and back? That wasn’t failure, that was training.

Activation: The Photo Prayer. Today, before you caption, post, or send anything, pause 60 seconds and pray: “God, what do You want me to say here?” Write down what you hear. Watch your prayer confirm it tomorrow.

TEACHING #3 & #4: SAY LESS, WORK HARDER — GRACE IS YOUR FUEL AND FOCUS IS YOUR STEERING WHEEL
Two updates at once. License plate: SAY LESS. My daughter Julie: WORK HARDER. And at my God Tree: MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU (2 Cor 12:9).

I confirmed it triple: God Tree whisper + Joel Osteen post for today with MY NAME on it + Julie randomly picking my old WeRollWithGod page that said “My grace is sufficient.”

You don’t need to talk your way into your promise. Grace talks for you. So you can say less and let your work do the preaching.

And remember — one year ago Kevin’s hard voice note told me to FOCUS. I was offended, but I wrote: “Even the bad stuff He uses for good.” One year later, that FOCUS has paid off.

How to live it: You need FOCUS as your steering wheel and GRACE as your fuel. One without the other, you stall.

Activation: The Julie Mode Challenge (24 Hours)
1. SAY LESS: No explaining, no defending, no over-talking your dream for 24 hours. Let grace answer for you.
2. WORK HARDER: Pick ONE ordinary task today and do it with unseen obedience — like Julie at the coffee shop on Sunday. Make your bed like it’s for God. Answer that customer like it’s for God.
3. FOCUS Button: Look at your phone’s Control Center — turn on Focus Mode literally. Put your phone on Do Not Disturb for 1 hour and work on your essential thing. That voice note from last year was your assignment, not your attack.

TEACHING #5: DO NOT DESPISE SMALL BEGINNINGS — HE REJOICES TO SEE THE WORK BEGIN
I wanted church at Hard Rock Hotel. Bro said go big. I said start small. God sent Zechariah 4:10 that morning: “Do not despise the day of small things, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” + Matthew 25:21 — faithful over few, ruler over many.

Your penny stare was small. Your God Tree whisper was small. But God rejoices over small starts.

How to live it: You are waiting for a big event to start. God is waiting for you to start in the smallest room.

Activation: What is your “small meeting room at Hard Rock”? Is it one video? One prayer with one person? One car sold to Penny? Do it today. It only takes a spark to get a fire going. Your spark today could be the global meeting tomorrow.

TEACHING #6: MAKE YOUR LIFE A WALKING MEDITATION
This is the whole lesson. Don’t just have a morning devotion — have a God morning routine where you wake up every day, even after your biggest failure yesterday, and say: “God, I’m here. What would You have me do now? What would You have me do next?”

That’s how you learn His voice. Moment by moment. Bus by bus. Penny by penny.

Activation: The 3-Question God Walk
Set 3 alarms today — 9am, 1pm, 5pm — titled “God Update.” When it rings, stop and ask:
1. God, what are You showing me right now? (Look around — license plate, bus, text)
2. What are You saying through it? (Grace? Focus? Beautiful timing?)
3. What is the next small obedient step?

Write it down. In 48 hours, you’ll have your own 6 updates like I did.

FINAL WORD: My life is not a highlight reel. It’s a God Update reel. If one view brings one person closer to God, that’s a great day. Your small beginning is not too small for a big God.

We don’t roll by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit — and His grace is sufficient, His timing is beautiful, and His brand is strong.

We Roll With God.

Want me to format this Step 2 as a second blog page / printable devotional worksheet for your readers?

Here is Step 3 Queen — your 5 anchor verses that hold the whole bloggy together. 3 from the Bible, 2 from the Torah — all saying the same thing God told you in 48 hours:

3 BIBLE VERSES THAT CAPTURE THE BLOGGY

1. The Fuel: GRACE IS SUFFICIENT
> 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.'”

This is your God Tree whisper, your Joel Osteen confirmation, and your old WeRollWithGod page Julie picked. The essence of SAY LESS. You don’t need to talk your way into it — your weakness is where His power rolls in. Grace is your transportation fuel.

2. The Timing: BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME
> Ecclesiastes 3:11 — “He has made everything beautiful in its time.”

Your Chili’s caption prayer + your morning prayer double-witness. Your boys — US to Nigeria to US — rollercoaster to fine young men. Your Penny call — 2 hours after the bus. What looks like slowness is patience in the heart of God (2 Peter 3:9). He is never late.

3. The Strategy: DO NOT DESPISE SMALL BEGINNINGS
> Zechariah 4:6,10 — “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord… Who dares despise the day of small things, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”

This is your Hard Rock Hotel answer to K. You said no to big event, yes to small room. God says I don’t need might or power, I need your small obedient start. Staring at a penny is small. A license plate is small. One view on a video is small. I rejoice over small — faithful over few, ruler over many (Matthew 25:21).

2 TORAH VERSES THAT CAPTURE THE BLOGGY

4. The Brand: IN GOD WE TRUST — HE GIVES POWER FOR WEALTH
> Devarim / Deuteronomy 8:18 — “But you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth…”

This is your PENNY FOR TRANSPORTATION bus! The US prints IN GOD WE TRUST on the penny because Torah taught it first — money doesn’t make you, God makes money work for you. Penny for Transportation didn’t come by your might, it came because you remembered Him on a bus. The God Brand is strong because the Torah brand is first. We Roll With God in business.

5. The Presence: I AM ALL UP IN YOUR BUSINESS
> Bereshit / Genesis 28:15 — “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go…”

This is your walking meditation! Jacob was on a road, just like you driving to Tally’s, and God says “I’m with you everywhere you go.” Not just in church, but on the bus lane, at Chili’s, dropping Joshy at school, at the coffee shop on Sunday. You said it perfectly in the video: “Nik, I’m all up in your business. Every conversation, everything you do.” That’s Torah! That’s Genesis 28 — God updating you moment by moment, license plate by license plate, so you learn His voice.

MIGHTY CLOSE OUT PRAYER: THE GOD UPDATE PRAYER

Papa God,

We come to You today at our God Tree, at our Penny bus stop, at our Chili’s table, at the school drop-off line.

Thank You for being all up in our business.

Thank You for the bus You parked next to us. Thank You for the penny that said IN GOD WE TRUST. Thank You for proving that the God Brand is still strong, that You still print Your name on transportation, on provision, on every small thing we stare at. Thank You for Penny calling after we stared at the penny — You let us know You are listening.

Forgive us for wondering why Your promises seemed slow. Forgive us for despising small beginnings. Forgive us for thinking we had to do it by might and by power and by loud talking.

Today we receive Your update:

Your grace is sufficient for us. When we are weak, when Kevin doubts us, when the customer is slow, when our boys are on a rollercoaster — Your power is made perfect. We will say less and let Your grace talk for us. (2 Cor 12:9)

You make everything beautiful in its time. Our Nigeria season, our US season, our waiting season, our penny-staring season — You are turning it beautiful right on time. What looks like slowness is patience in Your heart. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

You rejoice to see the work begin. You are not waiting for a big event at Hard Rock. You rejoice over our small meeting room, our one video, our one view, our one faithful task done when no one is watching. Make us faithful over few so You can make us ruler over many. Not by might nor by power, but by Your Spirit. (Zechariah 4:6,10 & Matthew 25:21)

You give us power to get wealth and You are with us wherever we go. You give us transportation for Penny. You watch over us in Tally’s, in Broward, in the coffee shop on Sunday. (Deuteronomy 8:18 & Genesis 28:15)

So today, we choose Julie Mode. Say Less. Work Harder. Focus.

We choose to make our life a walking meditation with You. Moment by moment, bus by bus, license plate by license plate.

God, we are here. What would You have us do now? What would You have us do next?

If we reach just one person with this bloggy, if we get just one view that brings one person closer to You — that is a great day.

We will not despise small beginnings. We will not miss out on the best life — the life that rolls with You.

We seal this with IN GOD WE TRUST stamped on our hearts, our businesses, our cars, and our children.

In the Mighty Name of Yeshua, our Provider, our Fuel, our Steering Wheel,

Amen and Amen.

We Roll With God.
