Vital signs- Monday, August 14th, 2023


“By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”

‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


There is a still, quiet place, a dark place where light shines through cracks until it is full on your face. I want you to go there. I want you to go, by yourself, where no one else is, and I want you to practice waiting on Me. 

Waiting on Me is not a place of being alone—really. For I am always with you. Waiting on Me yields alignment with Me. It produces greater trust in my will, with believing it is okay for you to not see what is ahead so clearly. You know that I see, and you trust that it is okay for you to trust my sight, my heart, more than you trust yourself.

Cast aside the things that weigh you down, and I will give you a new heart, a new spirit. Cast aside the focus on needing to know the future and all it may bring, and I will show you more of my face, this moment. And you will hear my voice, ever more clearly. 

My child, be careful of this world, so full of information and attempts to figure out all that humans don’t understand. .  . Don’t worry now. Don’t think of what you don’t know. Think on whom you know, whom you trust, whom to run to with your questions and your worries and your plans for the future. 

Yes, plan for the future. Yes, think on the things that will allow you to practice being with Me, becoming more accustomed to my presence with you. For with your life you are called to practice worshipping Me, with all that you do. Your heart transformation, the new spirit I give you, occurs only through Me. Transformation happens through Me when you seek Me and you know that my plans, even though you don’t know all that they are, are good: good plans for your heart and for your future.


Team Wade loves you and is praying for you ❤️👊
