Finding Permission to Bloom

Dr. Anita, would you come up here with me for a second? Can you guys help me welcome Dr. Anita? I promise I'm gonna make this so fast. Dr. Anita Phillips is one of my sisters in the mission, my sisters in ministry. No. If I could, well, I guess I'll give you my mic. I'm gonna share what God told me to share with these women. But I wanted to take a minute and see if God has just placed anything on your heart as it relates to womanhood and blooming and how we tap into who God has called us to be. So I see in your face when I tell you. I've been thinking about dog poop. What is happening? I know. Did you have a cue card? I didn't. I didn't have a card, but you know, I know, and I'm a classy lady and this is not usually my area, so I'm gonna ask you to trust me. But the first time we got a dog... It was probably about 15 years ago. I waited until we moved into our house house with the yard because I didn't want to have to clean up after the dog on the sidewalk. So I figured we can just take it out in the yard. It can go to the bathroom. I don't have to clean it up. And it's going to fertilize the grass. they say, right? Menorah is good for us. Not for us, but for the ground. And I want the ground to be fertile. And so I had a few months with the dog and I started noticing that the dog poop was still laying in the yard. I thought it would just, you know, it was supposed to fertilize the ground. And I'm out here like, you know, because I didn't think I'd have to clean it up. But I found out I was wrong. Not that it's not good for the ground, but the crap and the trash, the eggshells and the banana peels and the rotten fruit and the coffee grounds, all the stuff we had, the trash, it actually is good for the ground, but not for a while. Wow. It takes six months to two years for crap and trash to break down into something useful to the ground. And so what God told me to tell you tonight, Is that blooms come from fertile soil, good ground, and that ground has to have nutrients in it. And it gets in there because the crap and the trash in our lives breaks down, but not right away. And a problem that a lot of women are having is that they're ready to bloom, but they want so much to turn their pain into purpose, that they're digging through their trash looking for their purpose. And what God is saying is, gather together. to trash up, pile it up over here. The only thing you need to do to that fresh mess is keep it wet. We just came back from a revival tour. We found out something about hope being water. All you have to do is push it aside, sprinkle it with hope, and turn away. That will break down in time. Until it doesn't look recognizable, it can't fertilize you yet. You can't speed it up by going through it every day, laying it out, spreading it out, looking for something so you can say, oh, I found this is going to be what I get from my pain. God doesn't need your help. It's a process. Have hope over there and let the Holy Spirit show you where the soil of your heart is ready now to bloom because blooms need good soil and they need light and you're putting the light of your attention, the light of your energy on the trash instead of the area of your heart that's ready to bloom. And so God said to tell you tonight that the poop and the trash, that takes a while. But he's getting ready to direct you to the area of your heart that's fertile and ready to bloom so that you can put your light in the right direction. Get your hands out of the trash and listen to the Holy Spirit. You're about to bloom in an unexpected area where things have changed so much you don't even recognize it anymore. God's about to redirect your attention and so open your heart for this word before you leave tonight. you're going to be looking in the right direction. God bless you. I love you. If I could get my phone and Bible, my phone and Bible. It looks like Kora's gonna bring my phone and Bible. Hey, Coco. Thank you, sis. Like I said, I... We were planning on having the woman-to-woman conversations and just praying and having this time of connection, but God just gave me three things to share with you. I promise you I won't take too long and you guys are going to get home and get some rest. Um, I'm in John eight. This is the woman caught in the act of adultery. I will save my think piece about why the man wasn't brought up and why it's just the woman here. It's a whole op-ed and a think piece connected to it, but I'm going to focus on Jesus interaction with this woman. And for those of you who may not be familiar with this moment in scripture, there's a woman who was literally caught in the act. And the Pharisees come to Jesus and bring the woman to him and throw her at his feet. And they say to Jesus, in Moses'law, if someone is caught in the act of adultery, they should be killed. And they want to see how Jesus is going to respond to her being caught in the act. And Jesus, who I love so much how he responds to what people think he should do, does something so unexpected. It says, then the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery, and when they had set her in the mist, they said to him, This woman was caught in adultery in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us that such should be stoned, but what do you say? They said, testing him, that they might have something of which to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger as though he did not. here. So when they continued asking him, he raised himself up and said to them, he who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first. And again, he stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it being convicted by their conscience went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last, and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised up the woman, she was raised up again. raised himself up and saw that no one but the woman, saw no one but the woman, he said to her, woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you? And she said, no one, Lord. And Jesus said to her, neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more. Holy Spirit. As our time together comes to a close, we know that our time with you is just beginning. I thank you, God, that you're breathing into our soul afresh. I thank you, God, that more than anything, we just want to see you. And so, God, my prayer is that this would be a moment where we lock eyes with you. And in the process of that, we lock eyes with the potential of our future, with the protection of our future. With the protection of our future. our present. And so God, I pray that you would give me wisdom, insight, prophecy, and all of the things that we need in order to hear from you. May I completely decrease so that all we see and hear is you. And if you could do it in a quick work, Jesus, we'll take whatever we can get. In Jesus'name I pray. Amen. You know, as I have been thinking about this concept when it relates to blooming, I recognize that one of the most powerful tools that I ever received in the process of me really understanding my identity in God and really tapping into restoration and recovery was recognizing that so many of us think that we're going to have a moment where restoration or recovery or even hope comes as a result of something external taking place. if I receive a certain phone call maybe if I go to a certain event maybe if I hear from a certain person then I will finally have what I need in order to experience restoration or recovery or to move on in my life what I have come to realize though is that when we do that we often rob ourselves of the ability to get permission to move on from God so often there are moments in our lives where where God is telling us, I'm ready for you to move. I'm ready for you to be free. I'm ready for you to bloom. But because you're not ready or you think you need permission, you don't move with the speed and urgency required for you to bloom. I say this because when I'm looking at this woman in Scripture and she's caught in the act of adultery, I could not help but think of how many times we come to a place in our life where we think we need a thing. where all we really need is to give ourselves permission to no longer be confined, restricted, or limited to who we once were. Sometimes what you need is to be able to tell yourself you have permission to no longer be ashamed of who you once were. You have permission to dream. I know you've never seen it done in your family again, but just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean that you don't have permission to dream it. There is something that happens to us when we come into a space where we realize I don't need to be endorsed. I don't need to be validated. All I need is a word from God. When I receive that word from God, that's all the permission that I need. I know that there are women in this room who know exactly what I'm talking about. When I say that all you need is a word from God, because when God gives you a word, it trumps every other word that has been spoken over your life. When God gives you a word, he doesn't just give you a word. God gives you a weapon. God's word is a weapon in your life. And the weapon is not for the haters. The weapons are for your own insecurities. The weapons are for the voices in your own head talking you out of your own destiny. That's why you have to tell the voices in your head. I have permission to bloom from that. But you're not worthy. What are you going to say? How are you going to do it? No, no, no. I have permission to bloom from here. I have permission to grow from there. But what are they going to say? What are they going to think? They're going to be upset with you. No. I cannot continue to question all of the things that could be when I have a license. I don't know who you are in this room, but I hear God saying that you've been driving around your destiny like you don't have a license. You have a license, which means that if you get pulled over by insecurity, if you get pulled over by someone's opinion, if you get pulled over by a rumor, they have nothing to fight you with because all you got to do is dig down into your word. All you got to do is dig down into what God said to you and say, I got a license to be here. I know I shouldn't be here after all that I've gone through, but my permission came when God set me up for the opportunity. I'm standing here in this moment right now, not because I'm qualified, not because I'm the best to ever do it, but because God says, I'm going to give you a license for this season. I don't know who you are, but I want to prophesy that you would stop sitting on your license to bloom, that you would stop sitting on your license to grow, and that you would activate it before it expires because God is waiting on you to make a move. God. God is waiting on you to step in your authority and to step into your power. And yes, you're going to mess up. And no, you're not going to get everything right. But when you start moving, you start learning. And you can't start learning until you start moving. So you're stuck here. But God says, I got every lesson you need in the movement. I don't know who you are, but I hear God saying that when you start moving, I start teaching. When you start moving, I start speaking again. When you start moving, that's where the creativity is. When you start moving, that's where the strategy is. When you start moving, that's where the strategy is. where the friends are. When you start moving, that's where the relationship is. When you start moving, that's where the resources are. If I give you what you want right now where you're stagnant, it's going to die because everything connected to your destiny has a move connected to it. If I give you something that's stuck, you're going to be stuck dying together. But if you're going to be connected to me, you got to be willing to move. Everything God does move. Right now, the earth is spinning. Right now, the moon is moving. Right now, the sun is spinning. Everything I do moves. And so if you're not moving, you're not moving like... God so I got to give myself permission to no longer be stuck here because when I'm stuck I can't be like God and be stuck so if I'm stuck I'm being like something else so I need to identify what is it that I am being like what attribute have I taken on that has made me believe that I am only effective when I'm still that I'm only effective when I'm silent that is a weapon of the enemy trying to keep you from understanding the power of what happens when you bloom you may stumble but you gotta do it you may fall but you gotta do it you may have to pick yourself back up but you gotta do it you may not be eloquent but you gotta do it you may have to study but you gotta do it if you're waiting until you do it perfectly you may never do it at all God is looking for somebody who doesn't mind doing it stuttering who doesn't mind doing it nervous if you don't believe me I'll take you back to Moses Moses says God pick somebody else to do it I don't have what it takes God says I'm going to give it to you as you move just start moving in the direction I don't even know who this is for because it's not what God told me to say and I feel like I've already been preaching about making a move but maybe there is a woman in this room who still doesn't believe that her move can make the difference maybe there's a woman in this room who doesn't understand that if she says yes that the generations are connected to her maybe there's a woman in this room who doesn't understand that when she moves that heaven's resources back her up maybe there's a woman in this room who doesn't understand that when she moves she finds her wings maybe there's Maybe there's a woman in this room who doesn't understand that if she doesn't do it, it cannot be done. Maybe there's a woman in this room who doesn't understand that her family is waiting on her to make a move. Maybe there's a woman in this room who doesn't understand. Understand that the weapons are going to be formed, but God made her tough. God made her resilient. God made that woman stronger than she could ever imagine. Maybe this, maybe. Man, that's not, that, maybe there's a woman in this room who doesn't understand that when she survived what she went through, that she did not barely make it, that she made out a different person. God help me to see. say it the way I hear it in my head, that you think you barely survived. God says you are more resilient than you could have ever imagined. You think you were hanging on by a thread. It was the thread of the hem of his garment. When you decided to hang on by that thread. You pulled power and ability out of God, but you'll never know about the power you pulled from God until you throw that power in the direction of what God has called you to do. And so, yes, girl, I'm talking to you. Hey, you, it's time for you to bloom. Hey, you, it's time for you to get up. Hey, you, it's time for you to start healing. Hey, you, it's time for you to care for your soul with wholeness and value because babe, when you do it, it changes the way that I do it. And when I see you. I feel like I can bloom and maybe we become like Mary and Elizabeth and all of a sudden my baby is living because you took the chance to leap when all you could have done was stay back and weep but something happened when the woman when the woman Gave herself Permission to bloom I preserved you so you could bloom. I didn't let it kill you so you could bloom. If you allow yourself to die in seed form, you will never see the fullness of who God has called you to be. So I pushed the haters back long enough for you to get a revelation of what could happen when you bloom. Jesus. Man. Jesus, help the women in this room to trust that you have given them permission to not just live every day like it was the last day, but to live every day like it is the last day. And if today is the last day, who do I want to be? If today is the last day, who do I want to be connected to? If today is the last day, what do I want my legacy to be? If today is the last day, what do I want to leave in the earth? Man, all Jesus does in this text. is give this woman permission to bloom in spite of what other people said in spite of what she did oh god jesus let me tell you something We don't know what Jesus wrote on the ground in this text. All we know is that they hit him with what was written. And Jesus says, I'm going to write something new. I know what was written about girls like her. I know what was written about situations like this. But we serve a Jesus who will write a new law that takes into account where you fail so that you have the opportunity to get back up. again. So often we read this text and we make it seem like if you don't have a sin, then if you are not the first one to have sin, then you don't have the opportunity to cast a stone. But Jesus doesn't leave the conversation there. He doesn't then go send the woman back to live the way that she once lived. He recognizes just as she does that this woman has hit a low point. Some would even say that she's hit rock bottom. The thing about seed is that it has to go into the ground. The scary thing about seed is that it goes into the ground. I'm finished. This woman, I'm finished for real. This woman in the text is running the risk of being thrown even deeper into the ground. Somebody's come and kicked her while she's down. Sometimes when we get kicked when we're down, it doesn't even come in the form of another person. Sometimes it comes in the form of another disappointment. I could maybe tune out the ears, the voices of another person, but what do you do when it comes in the form of another disappointment? And it looks like this woman is going deeper and deeper into the ground. But Jesus does something powerful. When he writes in the ground, he breaks up the ground so that she has another option besides down. If I write in the ground, I break up the ground with a word that gives you an opportunity to come up again. My prayer for you, as we talk about what it means to bloom, is that you will not... miss the moments when Jesus is breaking up the ground so that you have another option besides down so that you have another option besides despair and if you are not careful because you are the seed that has hit the ground you will become so content with being in darkness so content with being surrounded by pain and not seeing the light that you will miss the moment when God shakes up the ground. That's why we make you all connect with one another, because you could be in a room this size and still hide, but when someone connects with you, it is a reminder that you can still get pulled up again. When someone connects with you, it is a reminder that you are still seen, that you are still known. When God sends somebody for you, it's so that the ground can be broken up. And what use is it for us to be in a room this large and not recognize that the woman beside us could be at her lowest point. And if she is at her lowest point and you are the person who God has sat beside her, then maybe you have an opportunity to tell that woman, I think he's breaking up the ground so you have another option. I think he's breaking up the ground so that you can get your head straight. I think he's breaking up the ground so that you can begin to prophesy. I think he's breaking up the ground so that you don't have to be ashamed. Hey, you, he's calling you. Hey, you, it's time for you to get up. Hey, you, I'm not going to let what they said about you define you for the rest of your life. I don't know who you are in this room. But before we go home, my assignment is to let you know that the ground has been broken up. That there is still an assignment over your life. And I know that you felt like you have hit rock bottom. But I'm letting you know that every time you lift your hands in worship, every time you bring yourself up, into a space of faith even when you don't feel like it it's shaking up the ground you don't even have to lift up your hands in worship if you just get in an environment of worship the ground starts shaking and all of a sudden you recognize I'm not going down any further that God is actually pulling me up and if he's pulling me up then maybe he knows something about me that I do not know about myself so I'm going to allow myself to be stretched up I'm going to allow myself to be spoken up to I'm going to allow myself to be in connection with someone who sees me beyond what I did. When Jesus broke up the ground for this woman, he changes the perspective that other people had about her. He changes. Perhaps even the perspective she had about herself. And I know that he does this because what he says to the woman after they're all gone is this. Woman, where are those who accused you? Sometimes Jesus wants you to see that what you were afraid of, he took care of. And if he doesn't make you see it, then you'll walk around still afraid, thinking that at any moment the accusations are going to come back. I'm talking about the accusations that say you're not qualified, the accusations that make you feel insecure. Accusations that tell you that your voice doesn't matter. You think that the experience was the worst thing that happened to you. No, the worst thing that happened to you were the thoughts that the experience planted in your mind. They are accusing you from thinking that you deserve what God has assigned to your life. They are accusing you of making you believe that you are not one who can have purpose and destiny. But woman, look around. Where are those accusers? She says there are none. And then he gives her permission in that moment, after she has received the recollection. And she has received the perspective of what Jesus has done for her to go. Don't get stuck. Don't hide yourself. Don't be afraid. Don't be ashamed. Everybody's got something. You deserve to walk with your head held high. Go and then he says sin no more that word sin means to miss the mark Since if you don't recognize That you don't have to be afraid of what you were once afraid of Then you will walk around life blind and when you walk around life blind you are guaranteed to miss the market again because you have not yet reconciled that you can really walk in freedom and authority and you will find yourself continuing to fall for the same person, the same trap, the same mentality over and over and over again because I I don't really trust that I'm free. I don't really trust that I have permission to bloom. I don't really trust that I can do this. And so I keep missing the mark because if I dared allow myself to bloom, I'm afraid that I won't need it. But when Jesus gives you permission, He's going to walk with you through it. He's going to coach you. He's going to bring people into your life who get it. He understands that you may not do it perfectly, but doing it is better than doing nothing at all, and it's better than repeating the same cycle over and over again. And so you are in this room. And what I desire for you more than anything is for you to allow yourself to bloom in a new way. To allow the version of you that you've been nurturing on the inside, that version of you that has. the boundaries, that version of you that makes the time for God, that version of you that really, really decides to dedicate yourself to a version of wholeness and wellness and mental health that you've never seen before, give her permission to bloom. That version of you is what God formed in your mother's womb. And when you allow yourself to stay buried and suppressed, you end up suppressing the best of who God created you to be. And what's crazy about that is that you can still be everything to everyone and still not be who God called you to be. We don't get extra credit just because we showed up for someone else. We get extra credit when we show up as ourself. I don't know about you, but I want to keep blooming into whoever this person is that God has created. And there are moments, I'm going to be honest with you, where I see a clip or I recall something I said and I'm like, that wasn't even me, and God's like, yes it was. I'm introducing you to you. Because you've only known a version of you that you penalized. A version of you that you slept on. But there is a version of you that I preserved through it all. And I want to introduce you to her. I want to pray with you. I want to pray for my sisters who are in bloom. I want to pray for these. Tender hearts, these painful memories, that thorny ground that we think is poking and prodding at our destiny. Somebody in this room afraid that there's nothing left in them worthy of blooming. All they've ever experienced was maybe rejection and disappointment. And they aren't sure that there's anything in their hearts that is worth blooming. Maybe you have an opportunity, but you don't know where the rain is going to come from. Where is the sun going to come from? How am I going? I believe I have something, but I don't believe that I have the environment that will produce it. And so I wish I could bloom, but I don't think I could bloom. I want to talk to somebody who's second-guessing what God placed inside of them. Because tonight is going to serve as a reminder for you that you're not in the ground by yourself. That's why I believe God drew me to this Texas because Jesus gets on the ground. He could have said anything to the Pharisees. He could have used his words. He could have used the spirit of God to convict them. But why does Jesus hit the ground unless the woman was on the ground too? And it wasn't about the Pharisees. It wasn't about the scribes. It wasn't about the audience. It was about a woman who found herself on the ground. ground. And Jesus says, I can get down there too. And I can write a word in the ground. Oh God, that helps you to get back up again. If you're in this room and you found yourself on the ground. You standing, but you on the ground. Praying, but you on the ground. I want to invite you to come down here and be with us other seeds. Man, yeah. And it's so good to know you're not by yourself. I want you to feel that presence of other people surrounding you on the ground. Look at all these seats, all these destinies. I don't know why I feel it necessary to apologize. I'm sorry that you found yourself. on the ground again. I'm sorry that it feels like you had an experience that threw you down. It's nothing wrong with you. This is life. Sometimes we find ourselves doing things to ease the pain that we know is going to lower us, but anything is better than feeling that again. So we sex it up, we smoke it up, we drink it up, we shoot it up, we do whatever we gotta do to not feel it. But we know that sometimes surviving it takes us lower. It's not you, it's the pain. It's what you're trying to do to survive. And still Jesus says, I can get on the ground with you. I'm not judging you. I still call you worthy. You're still valuable. I still have plans for you. You haven't seen your best days yet. This is not over. And I hear God saying, stay in it with me. I'll never leave you nor forsake you, but you know how to leave me and forsake me. And I'm telling you that God is saying, if you stick with me. I'm going to show you how I use everything. I waste nothing that I can really cause all of this to work together for the good. If you could allow yourself to love me, I want to pray with you. I want to first just celebrate the fact that you're here. I want to celebrate. Even as you came down, the ground was being broken up. And when the ground is broken up, there's an opportunity for more sunlight to hit that seed that God has, that seed that is you, and for it to bloom in a fresh way. So Holy Spirit, you see us. You saw it. You saw the things that we don't like replaying in our own heads. You saw the things that we haven't told any of our family members about. You saw it when they left. You saw it when I stayed. You saw it when I tried to ease the pain. You saw it when I tried to break away. You saw the cutting. You saw the frustration. you saw the depression, God, but you also see so much more than what I see. So Spirit of the living God, I pray for every woman who is at this altar, that God, that you would touch her eyes, God, that you would. touch her eyes in such a way that she no longer penalizes herself for that one instance, but instead that you would give her eyes to see the way that you see God, that she would see herself still fearfully and wonderfully made, that she would still see herself still valuable, that you would see that you kept her alive because you have plans to preserve, restore, and redeem her. I thank you, God, that even as she came to this altar, that chains were being broken off of her. I thank you, God, that even as she came to this altar. that she was going from being a seed to taking root, God. I thank you that there's a sprout picking up from the ground. I thank you, God, that there's a bud that's being formed. And I thank you, God, that as she said yes, as her heart moved towards you, God, that you began to give her strength and you began to give her courage. God, I thank you that this is not the same woman who walked into this room, that this is a woman who was hungrier like never before to bloom into who you have called her to be. And so spirit up. the living God we decree and declare that right now in the name of Jesus everywhere where the enemy took up space everywhere where depression took up space everywhere where trauma has been We rebuke it right now in the name of Jesus and we claim it as your territory God. We ask that you would take up space in the darkness, take up space in the pain, take up space in the shame God and allow there to be a flash. that is way that says that this girl has been restored. This girl has been redeemed. God, I speak transformation of her mind, God. Transform it in the way that only you can do that you would change the narrative that she has had about you. herself. God changed her storyteller. No longer is she a victim. No longer is she damaged good. No longer is she worthless but God we decree and declare that this is a woman of worth. I speak to the Queen on the inside of her and I say Queen arise. I speak to the princess inside of her and I say royalty arise. She is a part of a royal priesthood. You've got a confidence that you want to give her that no man no child job no degree could ever give her. This level of confidence cannot be shaken. This level of confidence cannot be debated. This level of confidence cannot be argued. And so God, we lay hold of that confidence. We demand that it become a part of her identity. And as it becomes a part of her identity, God, I pray that you put her in a position to show up as the real version of who she is. Put her in a position where life makes a demand on her integrity. where life makes a demand on her value and God when that demand comes I thank you I thank you that you're showing the woman how to say yes you're showing the woman how to obey you're showing the woman how to walk with her head held high you're showing the woman how to change her language you're showing the woman how to change the way she sees herself I thank you God that you are illuminating her eyes and when you illuminate her eyes every woman connected to her is going to see differently because this woman started seeing differently herself. I thank you, God, that when you call a woman, you call a nation. And I thank you, God, that there are nations at this altar. I thank you, God, that there are generations at this altar. And when this woman sees herself, it's going to change the trajectory of her family. Her daughter doesn't have a thing to worry about. Her mother is going to experience restoration. God, I thank you that you are going to raise her up as a general in your army. And when she... She becomes a general. She's going to go to war with everything that went to war with her. Doubt, you better watch out. Shame, you better back up. Insecurity, you better get a revelation. Because when you let this woman survive, you let an ambassador come through. And I thank you, God, that you're going to raise her up. I thank you, God, that you're going to give her language. I thank you, God, that you're going to give her strength. And I thank you that everywhere she goes, she's going to see you. And when she sees you. She's gonna release you. And when she releases you, she releases change into an atmosphere. This is not a regular woman. This is a change agent. This is... not a regular girl. This is a girl who went through hell so that she could bring heaven into her family. This is not a regular woman. I speak against regular. I speak against normal. I rebuke it in the name of Jesus. before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you. You got a personal relationship with God. He knows something about you that made him say, I need to set you apart. I need to sanctify you. And I thank you, God, that you're going to call this woman to invade cultures and invade industries and invade systems and invade corporations. And when she invades those corporations, she's going to raise up a new standard. And that new standard is going to make room for every woman that's coming up behind you. And I thank you, God, that she won't quit. I thank you, God, that she won't give up. I thank you that angels are going to push her back in the game when she feels like giving up. And I thank you, God, that you have not left her. And if you haven't by now, be with her. then my God, you never will. And so God, we believe you for your word and we trust you that it is so. And so it is. In Jesus'name, seal this word. Seal this word and let it take root and let it produce fruit. The kind of fruit that her babies eat off of. The kind of fruit that her great, grandchildren eat off of. The kind of fruit that changes her community. The kind of fruit that has seed. You think when you bloom that it's just going to be you, but anytime something God produces bloom, there's seed inside of the bloom. That means when you bloom there's even more seed I dare you to start blooming so you can start evolving and when you start evolving you will see you were always more than just one little piece of fruit and one little seed baby you were an orchard so God we thank you we trust you we need you We need you. Can't do it without you. And can do anything with you. We receive your presence, your word and your truth. We call it to water our soul that we may never run dry. In Jesus name. Amen. If it hasn't by now, it never will be
