Pupe, I encourage you today - get your fire back! Don't be complacent about pursuing what God has placed in your heart. It may be taking a long time, but God is a faithful God. No matter how long it's been, no matter how impossible it looks, if you'll stay in faith, your time is coming. Every dream that's in your heart, every promise that has taken root, God not only put it there, but He has every intention of bringing it to pass. Declare today, "My time is coming...God is working behind the scenes on my behalf...I will fulfill my destiny...I will fulfill the plan God has for my life!" As you declare, expect, and wait for the appointed time, your faith will grow. Your hope will grow. And you'll step into the destiny God has in store for you!

Matthew 16:26 "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?" Desire whispers, listen carefully, discern by depending on the Holy Spirit and the angels God has commanded concerning thee - "Be still and know that I am God ~ walk this way."
