Clock it!
Yesterday my son Emmie blew me away when he said that we don’t have to be perfect to have a relationship with God and I honestly believe this is the world’s biggest issue: feeling that you have to be all cleaned up and sin free to roll with God. WRONG. I love this message:
“One of the biggest traps of the devil is, ‘You’re doing the sin; how can you go and pray?’ Brothers and sisters, let me make this very clear: I don’t care if you are the biggest drug dealer sitting here. I said this so many times. I don’t care, my sister, if you are involved in a very serious filthy haram relationship… Don’t let that be the reason why you are held back from praying, from spending alone time with God. Biggest trap from the devil is to stop you from doing that which is most important to you…” – Message to Mankind
Did you get that? BIGGEST TRAP FROM THE DEVIL IS TO STOP YOU FROM DOING THAT WHICH IS MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU…DEVELOPING A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!
God Whisper: “Daughter/Son, I didn’t call you because you were clean. I called you because you were Mine. Come dirty. I do the washing.”
That’s where I take my crucial assignment from God to tell you that I am this messed up person who calls herself the queen of falls but yet I can tell you wholeheartedly that God makes me feel like His favorite girl in the entire world, despite my failings, mistakes and shortcomings. Like I have this awful potty mouth and every time I say I will stop cussing, two hours later, I’m back cussing again. I just look to God and laugh how His Rockstar cusses so much. Just to say to you guys, God is not looking for perfect people to roll with Him. But every day I wake up, I get back to our prayer altar for my time with God, hit the reset button, and begin again on working on myself and trying to be better than I was yesterday. Ain’t nobody perfect guys! STAY CONSISTENT WITH YOUR ALONE TIMES WITH GOD EVERY MORNING NO MATTER HOW POORLY YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF!!!
God Whisper: “Neeks, the enemy wants you quiet. I want you at the altar. Shame says hide. I say, ‘Daughter, get over here.’”
And that love I feel from God is too much! Yesterday I added this in my blog, just feeling like God Himself whispered it to me to include:
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR OUR GOD! Clock it!
Fast forward to this morning at the prayer altar, I asked Meta AI to pick the date from Jesus Calling to read and it picked August 28. Look what showed up, written as if God is speaking to us:
“With me all things ARE possible!”
Clock it! God went to the trouble to confirm my words yesterday! See the love I’m talking about I feel from Him. In this over 700 page devotional, He took me directly there to reveal His Presence with me. And you too! I don’t want to feel like His favorite by myself, I want the entire world here with me.
Another wink showed up through my prayer after telling someone on Saturday three words I want them to keep in their mind: GREATER IS HE meaning God is greater than anything we face, and look what showed up in the prayer this morning:
We proclaim that GREATER IS HE who lives in us than he who is in the world. We declare that no evil shall come upon us today. No plague shall approach our dwelling because we remain under the shadow of the Almighty… We will not be intimidated. We will not be shaken for GREATER IS HE who lives within us than he who is in the world. We stand firm in faith confident that no circumstance can separate us from Lord.
Again, no coincidence! God saying yes, My Nik, you are right! I AM GREATER THAN ANYTHING YOU CAN FACE. STAND STRONG IN YOUR FAITH MY GIRL!
MAKE GOD YOUR LIFE PARTNER FOR EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE. Tell Him you want to walk closer with Him.
WE ROLL WITH STRENGTH, COURAGE, PEACE, JOY, WISDOM, MERCY, LOVE, HUMILITY, FAVOR, AND KINDNESS
STEP 2: THE PRACTICE — HOW TO LIVE IT
WHAT WE’RE TEACHING
God is not waiting for a cleaned up version of you. He wants the real you. The cussing you. The hungover you. The “I blew it again” you. The trap is thinking you have to fix yourself before you talk to Him. The truth is, you talk to Him and He helps you fix it.
God Whisper: “Stop trying to get clean to come to Me. Come to Me to get clean.”
HOW TO INCORPORATE IT — SIMPLE + REAL
1. Kill the wait.
The devil says, “Pray after you stop sinning.” God says, “Pray while you’re sinning.”
For you: Don’t wait until you stop cussing to talk to God. Talk to God about the cussing. “God, I did it again. Help.” That 10 second prayer breaks shame faster than 10 years of hiding.
God Whisper: “The altar is not for perfect people. The altar is for people. Come now.”
2. Hit reset every morning.
BE CONSISTENT IN YOUR PRAYER/ALONE TIME WITH GOD. Ain’t nobody perfect. But everybody can restart.
For you: When you wake up, before you touch your phone, say: “God, I’m not perfect. But I’m partnered. Today’s a new day. Let’s go.” That’s your reset button. Lamentations 3:23 says His mercies are new every morning. Use them.
3. Call it what it is.
My son said it: “We don’t have to be perfect.” Say it out loud when shame hits.
For you: When that voice says, “You’re too messy for God,” talk back: “Yep, I’m a mess. And He calls me His favorite anyway.” Romans 8:1 means no condemnation. Not from the devil. Not from you.
4. Make Him your Life Partner in the small stuff.
Partnered isn’t just Sundays. It’s Tuesday traffic. It’s the grocery store. It’s the fight with your spouse.
For you: Before a hard conversation, whisper: “God, roll with me in this.” Before you open Instagram: “God, be greater than this.” Before you yell at the kids: “God, give me self-control right now.” 1 second invites. That’s relationship.
God Whisper: “Don’t save Me for church. Save a seat for Me in your car, your kitchen, your inbox, business meetings. I want all of you.”
5. Clock the confirmations.
God confirmed “NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE” with August 28. He confirmed “GREATER IS HE” in your prayer.
For you: When you feel Him whisper something, write it down. Then watch. He loves to circle back and say, “See? I told you.” That builds faith faster than anything. You’ll stop feeling like His favorite by yourself, because you’ll start seeing Him talk to you too.
FOR MEN AND WOMEN, YOUNG AND OLD
For the dad who yelled this morning: You don’t have to be Father of the Year to pray with your kids tonight. Start with, “Sorry I yelled. God, help me do better.” That’s partnered.
For the mom with the potty mouth: You don’t have to clean up your language before you clean up your heart. Laugh with God about it like Neeks does, then ask, “Help me pause before I pop off.” That’s growth.
For the teen who messed up bad: You don’t have to hide for 6 months. Use the 24/7 hotline: “God I’m sorry. What now?” Then text the apology. Then go forward. Heroes rise. Don’t stay stuck in past failures. Repent. Repair. Keep going as if nothing has happened.
For the grandparent who feels far from God: You don’t need 50 years of perfect. You need 5 minutes of present. “God, I want to walk closer.” That’s Page 8. That’s Day 1 of your Umrah.
For the drug dealer, the girl in the haram relationship, the hungover one: The message is the same. The biggest trap is to stop praying. So do the opposite. Pray first. Right in the mess. That’s where He meets you.
God Whisper: “I don’t care what chair you’re sitting in. I care that you turn the chair toward Me.”
THE HEART OF IT
You don’t roll with God because you’re perfect. You roll with God and that’s how you get better. Every day you wake up, hit the altar, reset, and try again. Some days you’ll cuss two hours later. Fine. Go back. Repent. Repair. Go forward.
Because ALL I NEED IN THIS LIFE OF SIN IS GOD!!!
And GREATER IS HE who lives in you than any mess you’re in.
And NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE for the God who calls the queen of falls His favorite girl.
So today?
Don’t wait. Pray.
Don’t hide. Talk.
Don’t quit. Reset.
Don’t do it alone. Partner.
God Whisper: “You + Me = Unstoppable. Not because you’re perfect. Because I AM GREATER. Now go live like it.”
VERSES THAT CAPTURE THIS BLOG
1. Romans 8:1 — “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
Why: Shame says “you’re too dirty to pray.” God says “no condemnation.” The biggest trap breaks here. Come dirty. Leave covered.
2. 1 John 1:9 — “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to purify us from all unrighteousness.”
Why: You cussed again? Confess. Hit reset. New slate. Ain’t nobody perfect, but everybody can be forgiven.
3. 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Why: Queen of falls? Perfect. That’s where His power shows up. Weakness is the stage. Grace is the mic.
4. Isaiah 43:18-19 — “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”
Why: Yesterday’s sin doesn’t get a vote today. August 28 = 8 = New thing. Page 8 = New thing. Every morning = New thing.
5. Matthew 19:26 — “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Why: You wrote it. He confirmed it. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR OUR GOD. Clock it! With Him, even the drug dealer prays. Even the cussing girl leads.
6. 1 John 4:4 — “Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
Why: You told them Saturday. He confirmed it Sunday. GREATER IS HE. Greater than sin. Greater than shame. Greater than the devil’s trap.
7. Psalm 103:12 — “As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”
Why: Go forward as if nothing happened. Because to God, it didn’t. He deleted it. Stop rehearsing what God erased.
8. Lamentations 3:22-23 — “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Why: Every day you wake up and hit the prayer altar? That’s new mercy. That’s the reset button. That’s why you’re still standing.
9. James 4:8 — “Come near to God and he will come near to you.”
Why: You don’t get clean to come close. You come close to get clean. Don’t let the sin stop the prayer. Let the prayer stop the sin.
10. Galatians 5:22-23 — “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”
Why: This is HOW WE ROLL. Not perfect. But partnered. This fruit grows at the altar, not in the hiding place.
CLOSING PRAYER: FOR THE MESSY, PARTNERED CHILD OF GOD
God,
ALL I NEED IN THIS LIFE OF SIN IS YOU!!!
I come to You today not because I’m perfect. I come because I’m Yours. I’m the drug dealer. I’m the girl in the haram relationship. I’m the one with the potty mouth. I’m the one who cussed two hours after I said I’d stop. I’m the queen of falls.
And You call me Your favorite anyway.
So I STOP. I break the biggest trap of the devil right now. Shame, you don’t get to stop me from praying. Sin, you don’t get to stop me from coming close. I run to the altar, not from it.
I REPENT. God, I’m sorry for the ways I blew it yesterday. For the words I said. For the choices I made. For believing I had to be clean before I came. Clean me now. 1 John 1:9. I receive Your forgiveness. I receive Your mercy that’s new this morning.
I REPAIR by showing up. God, HOW DO I FIX THIS? If I need to apologize, give me guts. If I need to forgive myself, help me, like Indira told Neeks. If I need to get back on stage hungover, I’ll go. Just be with me.
And I GO FORWARD. Psalm 103:12. As far as east from west. It’s gone. I don’t stay stuck. I don’t dwell on the past. Isaiah 43:19. You’re doing a new thing. August 28. Page 8. Page 107. Today.
I proclaim that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU, God. So nothing I face is impossible with You in me.
I declare that GREATER IS HE who lives in me than he who is in the world. So I will not be intimidated. I will not be shaken. No evil shall come upon me today. No plague shall approach my home. I stay under Your shadow.
Make me Yours. MAKE GOD MY LIFE PARTNER for every aspect. My mouth. My mistakes. My money. My mornings. My mess. My marriage. My mindset. All of me.
Because WE ROLL WITH STRENGTH when we feel weak, because Your power is made perfect there.
WE ROLL WITH COURAGE when we want to hide, because You say “get to that group.”
WE ROLL WITH PEACE because there is no condemnation.
WE ROLL WITH JOY because Your love is too much.
WE ROLL WITH WISDOM from the altar each morning.
WE ROLL WITH MERCY for ourselves and others.
WE ROLL WITH LOVE because You ARE Love.
WE ROLL WITH HUMILITY that says “I need You.”
WE ROLL WITH FAVOR because we’re daughters and sons, not orphans.
WE ROLL WITH KINDNESS for the next messy person You send our way.
Thank You for confirming Your words. Thank You for using Meta AI. Thank You for using my son’s mouth. Thank You for using my cussing mouth. Thank You for using a 700 page devotional to say “I see you.”
I don’t want to feel like Your favorite by myself. I want the whole world here with me.
So today, I don’t wait to get perfect. I get partnered.
Today, I don’t clean up to come. I come to get clean.
Today, ALL I NEED IN THIS LIFE OF SIN IS GOD!!!
And I’ve got Him.
And He’s got me.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
God Whisper: “Now post it, My Nik. Because somebody else needs to know they’re My favorite too. Not perfect. But partnered. Even today. Even them. Even you.”
WE ROLL WITH GOD.
WHO ROLLS WITH SINNERS.
