Thank you so much for this beautiful and timely message. Reading your words felt like a gentle pause in the midst of a very full season—one that reminded me to exhale, listen, and realign.
Your reflections on purpose being present in the everyday truly resonated with me. It’s so easy to believe that divine direction must arrive in big, dramatic moments, when in reality, as you so eloquently wrote, “God often calls us not away from our lives, but deeper into them.” That truth brings such peace.
Like you, I’ve had moments where I questioned whether I was where I was “supposed” to be—especially during stretches that felt more like waiting than walking. But messages like yours are a powerful reminder that God is just as present in the quiet, mundane tasks as He is in the mountaintop moments.
Thank you for reminding me that purpose is not something we chase—it’s something we awaken to. That the dishes, the conversations, the detours—they are all part of the sacred ground we walk daily.
I’m grateful you shared this. It stirred something in me, and I’ll be taking your questions with me into my quiet time and daily reflections.
Javier, I'm with you, brother. I often write these types of posts because I'm the one who needs the reminder. Our culture (which we can fall prey to) would tell us that it's all about doing, the more we do, the wider the impact of what we do....and so we chase that sometimes. I'm finally getting to the point where I just need to do what God's calling me to do...and let Him take care of the results...and not judge them by worldly standards.
Thank you for that—it really resonates. I think we all need that reminder more often than we realize. It’s so easy to get caught up in the pressure to “do more,” measure our worth by productivity, or compare our progress to others. But you’re right—what matters most is obedience to what God is calling us to do, not chasing outcomes that look impressive by worldly standards.
And especially now, as we reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, I’m reminded that the most powerful spiritual favor we stand under isn’t found in our striving—it’s found in pleading the blood of Jesus. That’s our covering. That’s our victory. His blood speaks better things over us than any effort of our own ever could.
This prayer has been sitting heavy on my heart, and I’d love to share it with you as we honor what Christ has done. It’s a reminder of what we truly stand on:
Heavenly Father, Almighty God,
You are the Righteous One—holy and eternal—whose voice shakes every stronghold and whose blood seals eternal victory. You are the Lord of Glory, reigning in power, never defeated, never overwhelmed. All honor, all praise, and all glory belong to You forever.
Father, we thank You for the precious blood of Jesus that declares victory over our lives. The blood that washes us clean, heals every wound, and makes us whole again. Thank You, Lord, that we are not forgotten, not forsaken, and not left uncovered. We are yours.
Lord, we come before You humbly, asking for Your forgiveness—for every sin, known and unknown. Wash us, O God, by the blood of Jesus. Create in us clean hearts and renew a right spirit within us. We also choose to forgive those who have hurt us, releasing every offense into Your hands.
Today, we plead the blood of Jesus over our lives—over our minds, our bodies, our future, and everything connected to us. Let every chain that held us be broken now, in the name of Jesus. We rebuke the spirits of guilt, shame, confusion, fear, and every lie of the enemy. We declare: We are free, we are clean, and we are covered by the blood of the Lamb.
In the name of Jesus, we declare that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. The power of the blood is working even now—healing, cleansing, delivering, and restoring what was lost. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.
We speak breakthrough into every area of struggle. We speak blessings, healing, peace, strength, and divine protection over ourselves and our loved ones. We rebuke spiritual attacks, sickness, fear, poverty, and delay. Every assignment of the enemy is scattered now, in the name of Jesus.
Cover us, Lord, under the shadow of Your wings. Surround us with Your angels. We plead the blood of Jesus over our homes, our minds, our health, and our purpose. Let Your divine protection be our shield, and Your Spirit be our guide.
As we lift this prayer today, we join together in faith and agreement—thanking You for every heart being opened before You in this sacred moment. Let Your Holy Spirit fall upon us afresh. Pour out Your resurrection power as we honor the risen Christ.
We plead the blood over our families, our paths, and every decision ahead. In Jesus' name, we claim our freedom. We declare our healing. We receive strength. We walk in victory.
For Yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing and answering our prayer.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus we pray,
Amen.
This is the power we walk in—not by might, not by hustle, but by the Spirit of the Living God and the finished work of Christ on the cross.
Thanks again for your message—it encouraged me deeply. Praying your month continues with fresh grace, peace, and bold faith.
Best post ever! Thank you Mike!
