Sunday passed, as I was preparing for church, this dropped in my spirit. “Just go through the process.”

“Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. When He came to the place, He said to them, ‘Pray that you may not enter into temptation.’ And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, ‘Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.’ Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” (Luke 22:39-44 NKJV)

As I meditated on this passage, it occurred to me that sometimes we fall into temptation because we try to solve situations in our own strength. When panic and weakness set in, our natural instinct is to act or react—but in doing so, we often resist the process God has set before us. Like Jesus in the garden, sometimes the path to victory requires prayer, submission, and endurance.

Every circumstance we face is not necessarily orchestrated by the enemy. Even when it is, God can use it to elevate us, refine us, and position us for our next level. Every trial, every betrayal, every moment of waiting has a purpose.

Sure, it was Judas who betrayed Him with a kiss. But had the enemy known that this act would release a spiritual fragrance, an Alabaster Box of anointing, flowing for generations, he never would have done it. What seemed like a setback was actually a setup for legacy!

So today, if you feel pressure, opposition, or confusion, remember: just go through the process. Pray, submit, and trust God’s timing and methods. What looks like hardship in the moment may be the very thing that launches you into your next level of destiny.

Thank you so much for your continued readership and support. Until next week…Blessings and Peace!
