Summer of Stillness

Amanda1 Comment

If you followed my writings over the past summer, then you know I shared about stillness and the glory of God a lot. At one point, I mentioned that Holy Spirit said, “How are people going to know that I am truly with you, if you won’t let My stillness rest upon you? It’s okay to be still. It’s okay to not have any movement going on in you. That doesn’t mean things aren’t moving. Instead, it means you’re cultivating a space to carry the weight of My glory, which you’ve never truly carried before. And sure, sure it’s cumbersome. Sure, being still is not your favorite thing because you want to be doing, but I have called you to a life of stillness: spirit, soul, heart and body right now. A life of stillness that mediates on My goodness constantly.”

And so, when I wasn’t working, you could find me sitting in silence without any distractions (phone, TV, computer), commanding my soul to step back and inviting my spirit to come forward so I could engage with the stillness. And, in those moments of stillness, my mind was mostly quiet. I didn’t hear Holy Spirit speaking too often, but I did feel a very significant amount of His presence and glory growing and surrounding me as I mediated on His goodness.

Below are three stories (from the summer) that demonstrate the growing manifestation of His presence.

The Smoke

On June 17, at 2 am I woke up to the smell of thick, thick smoke. The smell was so strong that I was convinced something was on fire. I woke my sister (who is usually awake at 2am) up. She could smell it too. We both firmly agreed something was on fire. So, we hurried towards the windows in back of the apartment. Bridget said, “I don’t smell anything outside of the windows. It’s not coming from over here.” Then she turned on the lights and the room looked kind of hazy, like smoke was definitely in the room. Next, she checked the radiator pipes that run through the apartment for the heat in winter. Again, nothing. I checked the windows in my room. Nothing. We checked the hallway. Nothing. So, it was evident that the smoky smell and haze was isolated to our apartment unit only.

We both kind of laughed about it and confidently decided to go back to sleep. Convinced it was occurring within the spirit realm surrounding us. 

When I woke up the next morning, I consulted Holy Spirit. He led me to Isaiah 4:5. It says, “Then the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything the glory will be a canopy.” Again, I kind of laughed because both of our spirits knew that’s what we had experienced. But, before I could confirm for sure, I called my mom. I told her the story and she said, “You know Amanda, last night I had a dream y’all were in a fire in NYC, but you were okay. When I woke up, I felt a little panicked, but I knew y’all were fine.” 

Why did God reveal Himself to us like this? I still don’t have all of the answers; however, I am confident that we were so confident in the manifested demonstration of His presence that we went back to sleep without a worry or a doubt.

The Tears

During the month of June, my sister was working on a painting of her spirit. She said, “Amanda, there’s water on the floor in front of the painting, but I don’t have a clue where it came from.” I walked over to the painting, and, sure enough, there were several droplets on the floor that resembled tears. We both backtracked the past hour and decided there was no way either one of us was responsible for the water. So again, we knew they manifested from the spirit realm surrounding us. But why? 

Over the next few days, the Father made it clear that He was very overwhelmed with what my sister was bringing to life. It moved Him to tears to see that she was so interested in putting paint to canvas to watch the truth surrounding her spirit come to life.

The Diamond

In mid-July, I had been sitting on the living room couch all day working on my computer. After several hours, I got up and went to my room to sit with Holy Spirit and focus in on being still. After I had been sitting for a while, my sister rushed in my room to tell me Britney Spears was testifying in court and we could listen to the stream on Twitter. So, we both sat on the end of my bed and listened. When it was over, we both gleefully left my room (research the case if you want to know why) and went back to the living room. She sat down on the couch where I had been sitting all day and said, “Amanda, what is this?” In her hand she was holding what looked like a tiny rhinestone. She said, “Did this fall off of a piece of clothing?” We both thought through all of the clothing we own and decided it didn’t. Then she said, “Actually, I don’t think it’s a rhinestone. I think it’s a diamond!” So, she rushed over to her phone and pulled up a YouTube video to verify a diamond. The video said we needed to drop it in a glass of water. If it sank, it was surely a diamond. So, she filled up a clear glass, took it into the bathroom and I dropped the tiny stone into the water. Sure enough, the diamond went straight to the bottom. 

Then we checked every piece of jewelry. Nothing missing. We asked our friends that had been over. They weren’t missing anything. We asked my mom. She wasn’t missing anything. So, again, we laughed. Surely, this did not fall from the spirit realm surrounding us? Or did it? And if so, what was God’s plan for it? To show that the very presence of Heaven is surrounding us at all times? To encourage us to keep engaging Heaven? To demonstrate the realness of the realm of Heaven, that often feels like a caricature of sorts?

And while I don’t have too many answers, I am sure of this… Engagement with our human spirit, paired with stillness and meditation on the goodness of God can bring about some very unique manifested experiences. And while we haven’t stumbled upon another diamond yet, we have had many more experiences with hazy smoke and tears. They just seem to appear in places where we’ve been mediating on the goodness of God, while paving a road for angelic assistance and operating in the gifts, purposes and trading routes Holy Spirit is constantly laying before us.

So if you’re reading this, I want to encourage you to take the time to cultivate a relationship with your human spirit, Holy Spirit and stillness. Take many undistracted moments (moments without technology) to just mediate on areas of your life where you know He provided for, protected, healed, delivered, connected with and loved you. And then see where that takes you. Look around for the growth of His manifested presence within your life. I promise you, you won’t just feel it, you may just see it too! And the best part is, mediating on the goodness of God will become a part of your lifestyle and you will consistently see His glory revealed. 🌱

Last night, as I was getting out of the shower, I heard “War will be waged tomorrow. Prepare for war.” So, I stopped all other thoughts in my mind and asked Holy Spirit, “What do I do?” He said, “Tell your sister. Consult your angels. Ready them for battle.” So, before I went to sleep, I asked my two head angels (George and Michael) what tools they needed to fight with. They gave me the list and I asked the Father for the tools be given to them. Holy Spirit also made it very clear that this would be a frequency war. So, I commissioned appropriately. 

Then I prayed protection. I commanded a spiritual faraday cage of gold (gold protects from spiritual frequency interference) to cover myself, my family and my businesses until the battle was over. I also saw the gold cage for the first time (I’ve been using it for 2 1/2 years)… It looked like a vibrant, shinning, bright, luminescent glow that encapsulated everything it was assigned to protect. Kind of like the piertotum locomotives spell used in Harry Potter to protect Hogwarts from dark magic.

When I woke up this morning, I felt rested. I called for my angel, George. I heard Holy Spirit say, “He’s out fighting.” So, I sat back and chatted with Holy Spirit. He continued to repeat over and over, “Your enemy is a defeated foe. The kingdom of darkness is a defeated foe. They know this. It is known. They know they don’t have the power the Heavens and I possess.

Amanda, this is how you overcome evil. Stay in the spirit, operating from your spirit, working from Heaven. It is possible, very possible, to operate from the spirit at all times like Jesus. It is a skill you must cultivate. You must keep training your soul to step back and focus in on what your spirit is doing. You must stay focused on what’s coming from the dimension above the 2nd Heaven… Above where your soul exists.”

And so, reality becomes clearer to me every day. If we aren’t living from our spirit first, we are submitting to a defeated kingdom. We are created to operate from our human spirit. To connect with Holy Spirit, Father God and Jesus. To connect with our angels and other consorts. To live from Heaven’s realm down into to the earth realm. But we are challenged to do this. We are very prevented from absorbing this truth because we fail to constantly and consistently operate from our spirit because the soul is easily distracted, deceived and swayed by the mirage and elusiveness of the world that surrounds us. It will in truth submit to one master or another. It will either submit to a defeated kingdom or the kingdom of God because that is its design, to submit.

Which is why we surely trade the peace and rest of our soul every time we purchase lies, deception, manipulation, fear, anxiety, worry and torment. However, if we focus our attention higher… If we tune into to Holy Spirit a little more… If we exercise the confidence and courage to invite the spirit to come forward, while commanding the soul to sit down… Then we are in business. Then we are in a position to receive assignments and focus our attention on the trading and multiplication of Heaven. Then we can truly operate as sons and daughters of God who are fulfilling their duties as kings and queens. Then we have more of an opportunity to govern over the defeated kingdom. 🌱

Timeline Shift

Amanda1 Comment

I sat down with Holy Spirit on Saturday. It’s always my day of rest, but my spirit was deeply inclined to really engage where He was leading. I found myself on the topic of timelines. I kind of understand timelines because of the Marvel series “Loki” I watched this summer. 

That night I had a dream. When I woke up on Sunday, I knew I needed to pursue the heart of God concerning the contents of the dream. 

After consulting Him, He made it very clear that I was to take an evil timeline that’s been traded on for years in my life before the courts of Heaven. I was to request for the overturning of the false verdict regarding the timeline; request that all false ownership on false timelines be overturned; request a destruction by fire of the evil timeline and ask my angels to smooth out the wrinkle in the timeline so that I could come into alignment with the timeline God’s ordained for my life.

So, I followed His instructions. 

After that I went about my day and didn’t think much more about it…. But then… Then I began to encounter thoughts concerning business. Thoughts I was so sure the evil timeline would provide for me in the past. And that’s when I started to see it…. My deep involvement with this timeline was preventing me from receiving the revelation God actually has for me. You see I have been going in what seems like circles for years about doing business the way God wants it done. And though He’s led me into some very intriguing ideas, there always seems to be an immediate and direct block of the flow of revelation.

Well, not anymore! The evil timeline has been done away with. It doesn’t exist anymore. It’s been consumed by fire, and now I can actually move forward with the revelation God is providing.

And He said, “I absorbed it all into Me. All of the disappointment was absorbed into Me.” Then I saw black, dark goo being absorbed into a blinding light. The black goo just disappeared. It was non-existent. Like it changed shape or form. It was consumed by the light.

Then He said, “Disappointment is the product of lies and deceit and manipulation. When you trade your faith and belief with a lie, you will receive disappointment in some form, and that disappointment is wounding. It wounds you deeply. On several layers. It fragments your soul and causes confusion from within. 

Do not trade into a relationship built on lies. Built on deceit. Built on manipulation. It has crushed you in so many ways, Amanda. I’ve had to lead you away from the disappointment. I’ve had to hold your hand while you’ve followed me through the dark so that you can see that I will be and I am faithful to you. To your heart. To all of you.

This is why I had you cut the timeline off. You are no longer operating from an evil timeline. Your angels went in and smoothed out the wrinkle in the timeline so that you can properly operate on My timeline for your life. 

And because you’ve given Me the disappointment over the years, I am now going to be faithful and supply what you’ve trusted in another for. I am going to actually teach you how to do business from Heaven. You’ve waited so earnestly for this. You trusted another so deeply for this revelation and truth. And I know how deeply it hurt you to feel that weight of that person not pulling their weight. It was heavy. It was hurtful. It was unjust on so many levels. But I am here now to teach you how to gain my trading system. I have a path for you to follow. I heal and bring all things into alignment. You keep following. You keep delving into the depths of the trans-dimensional realms and timelines surrounding you. Do not be afraid. Use your angels. Use George, Alice and Michael (my personal angels). They will help you.”

Honestly, I am so completely overwhelmed with His goodness and grace. All of the years of broken promises. All of the layers of disappointment. Heaps and heaps of confusion and anger. Fighting off bitterness and hate. But God is so good because He led me straight to the business of Heaven after I parted ways with this timeline. And now, I am learning how to incorporate His means for trade into Cultivate Life. It’s exciting. It’s fun. It requires my entire self: spirit, soul, heart and body to be present and attentive. All of me has to be on board. Entirely. 

And I am sharing this because I want to keep encouraging you to lean into Heaven in a much deeper and direct way. Like I said last week, “We are royalty that is destined to govern over the earth from the spirit realm as we rule and reign over the darkness that has infiltrated our world.” “Being spiritually royal means, we MUST first develop into mature sons and daughters so that we can embrace our royal duties.”

And with that said, keep developing. Keep growing. Keep maturing into a being that can and will embrace every duty Heaven has stored up for you! 🌱

Govern

AmandaLeave a comment

I jumped out of bed Tuesday morning. Holy Spirit was mid-sentence explaining something to me and I jumped up and started frantically digging through my side table. I knew it was there… I knew it was hidden somewhere deep within the pages of a very thick 3-inch binder I’ve stored all of my Cultivate Life notes in over the past 12 years. I searched and searched, and then… There it was! A picture-graph I created in a 2011 Word Document based on a revelation I had on the court system of Heaven!

After finding it, I very enthusiastically sat back down on my bed so Holy Spirit could finish what He was saying. He said, “Press into the courts of Heaven. Absorb it! Learn everything you can! Apply it! Take this week to apply all of it… See Heaven from My perspective.”

Now before I go any further, I want you to know that I whole-heartily embraced the responsibility I wrote about last week. Actually… The embrace is what led me to this moment… This moment where I can see Heaven and our divine positioning with so much clarity.

You see the foundational truth about us is that we are sons and daughters of God. Trust, faith and intimacy are built upon our ability to have a very vulnerable and deep relationship with the Godhead… One where we are refined so that we can develop, mature and grow into all that He’s created us to be.

But then there is another role we are to fulfill… Kingship! We are royalty that is destined to govern over the earth from the spirit realm as we rule and reign over the darkness that has infiltrated our world. And when I say “kingship” I don’t in any way mean the standard by which our culture calls each other “kings and queens” for sport.

Being spiritually royal means we MUST first develop into mature sons and daughters so that we can embrace our royal duties. Then we are tasked with exceedingly crucial responsibilities! Our first responsibility is to see the legality of Heaven… To see that governing is a process of law. A process of law in Heaven we are to systematically and strategically work with in our daily lifestyle to move forward the plans, purposes and processes of the Kingdom of God.

You see I am expressing this because I have been asking Holy Spirit for over a year now to increase my understanding of spiritual government. I have been seeking His heart on a more effective and efficient way to rule and reign over darkness, and He has been very faithful in providing answers and solutions. However, the paradigm I’ve recently encountered is already revolutionizing my realm and the realms surrounding me. It’s actually revolutionizing them in such a way that I am more confident than ever of who we are and how we’ve been designed to work from Heaven down into the earth.

And the confidence I have has come from the clarity found within His words. He said, “If you truly want to rule and reign above the darkness, you must keep pursuing a higher way. You must view and submit your requests before the court of Heaven. Amanda, you know the kingdom of darkness is legalistic. You’ve experienced the legalism and perfection of the courts of heaven in deliverance sessions your entire life! Do you think My legal system is only limited to deliverance? Do you think it only pertains to situations where humanity needs freedom from powers, principalities and demonic oppression? You are to enter my courts for everything. You are to come humbly before me as a daughter in My Kingdom… A daughter who has right standing, a birthright of royalty and divine dominion and authority. Boldly come before Me and address the darkness. Boldly come before me and present the accusations. Come before Me and present the injustice in your nation. You must come before Me as I am… I am King. I am Judge. And I must give a verdict of mercy, healing and freedom because grace is law! You want to see real change in the Heavens and the Earth? Seek My heart as your Father. Seek My will for solutions. Then build from that intimate communication between daughter and father… And come before me as royalty with royal authority. Come before me as a Queen presenting injustices… Like Esther before the King and the court, and I… I as Judge, will bring a righteous and just verdict into what you’ve presented. And then you, you will see My Kingdom begin to expand in the Heavens and on Earth! But you must come. You must come as often as needed. You must incorporate this into your lifestyle. For it will very much impact your life, Cultivate Life and the realms, dimensions and timelines presented before Me.” 🌱

Middle-Ground Movement

AmandaLeave a comment

You know that place between the beginning and the end? Yeah! The middle! That place! That spot where you’re certain you’ve stepped out into a higher level of faith… A level that is extremely uncomfortable. And now… Now that you’re in the middle, you’ve actually become kind of comfortable because the initial shock of stepping out has worn off. However, you can clearly see that there’s a good distance to go before you reach the end of the season. And so, you feel somewhat agitated about the entire process because you know there’s no turning back… You must keep moving forward… You must blaze the trail as you persevere to the end.

Yeah… That’s me. That’s my current life scenario.

It’s just this serious series of persistent stretching. I feel stretched to capacity in every area of life right now. I feel like God keeps saying, “Amanda, look how far we’ve come together. Look at what we’ve accomplished in the intimate, isolated time we’ve spent cultivating life together. And I know the level of faith you’ve been asked to step out into every day feels steep and sometimes unbearable, but there is a purpose in all of it. So, you must keep moving forward. You must keep moving up that mountain. And you must stay focused on Me above all as you climb. And, even when you feel like you’ve ‘missed it,’ you must return to Me for the validation that you have in fact not missed it. So, keep going!”

And now some of you might be thinking, “Okay Amanda, why are you telling me this? Why are you sharing God and your inner growth with me AGAIN?” Well, because the relationship I’ve cultivated with Him is the realest, truest, most honest thing I know. And so, I want to encourage you to keep pursuing a deeply cultivated relationship with Holy Spirit. I want you to be inspired to turn to Him for solutions to all of your situations. I want you to look to Him as the source that works with Jesus to bring our ultimate freedom, deliverance and healing. 

And then others might be thinking, “Okay, I understand where you’re coming from because I feel Him pressuring me into more intimacy too, so how do you do it? How do you balance all of it without wanting to completely abandon ship?”

Well, honestly, I believe Holy Spirit is getting ready to move. I believe, in this supernatural, paradigm shifting era of time we’re all existing in, He’s getting ready to forcefully jump onto the scene. And because He’s preparing Himself, He must also prepare us for it. And so, He keeps asking us to climb a little higher with Him… To summit our own personal mountain of God and to remain faithful (spirit, soul, heart and body) to Him in the process.

And of course, it’s a challenge to faithfully summit. It’s a challenge to continuously step away from agendas, mindsets and lifestyles that have been controlling us so that we may see Him, His Kingdom and His truth in a raw, real and more perceptive way. And that’s the marrow of it all… That’s why I choose to keep going. Because when He moves… When He moves, He’s going to push those of us that have stepped out into the steepness of His presence into the light. He’s going to use us to communicate His Kingdom to the earth. 

And that… That inspires me so deeply at my core. It presses me to stay focused on where He’s leading because I want to work with Holy Spirit… And not against Him. I want to help Him reveal Jesus and the Kingdom in a very authentic, unifying and life-giving way. And because of that deep desire within me, I choose, in every moment, to keep my eyes focused on Him and the inner validation I am receiving about where I am headed in life. 🌱 #cultivatelife

Instinctively Reverent

AmandaLeave a comment

About two months ago I told God, “I want to understand what it means to have a reverent fear of You.” His initial response, “I am encoded in everything Amanda. Even Hell. Even Sheol and Hades. I am in every age, realm, dimension and timeline, past, present and future. I am stretched throughout all infinites and eternities. I am in it ALL. Embedded and encoded like DNA.” Then He said, “But… Just because I am encoded in everything, doesn’t mean that My presence is filling everything. Now, I can fill anything. My presence can fill Hell and Sheol.”

Now, when He said this my spirit, heart and soul were even more inquisitive. And so, I said, “Okay…. Show me an example of reverent fear then.” He said, “Remember your employer seven years ago? Remember the feeling you had when you met her for the first time?” 

Ohhhh well… Of course… Of course, I remember VERY well.

You see seven years ago, I went to work for a family with more wealth, fame and power than I’d ever encountered. Sure, I’d experienced my fair share of the three before; however, this… This was different. And its difference… It had a dominant feeling.

Now, my first encounter (really almost every encounter) with my boss left me somewhat shaken at my core. I remember instinctively feeling somewhat afraid of her. Not because she was scary, but because her very presence demanded a very, very high level of respect. It was evident that she expected nothing less than excellence in everything that went on in the culture of her home, her business and her lifestyle. 

And so, as her employee, I constantly felt like I should submit to the reality of what I felt. My desire to respect the environment of her household was very much something I wanted to succeed in daily. 

And… You know once I relived that chapter of my life, I could see it. I could see what God was communicating to me about reverent fear towards Him. I could see that He was saying, “The way you respected your previous boss and upheld the standard of her environment is very, very similar to the way you should respect Me and uphold the standard of My Kingdom.”

You see when we truly encounter Him in a raw, transparent and unfiltered way… When we truly become interfaced with His Kingdom through our covenant relationship with Jesus… When we truly begin to walk with Him and cultivate life… Then we can begin to experience the vastness of all that He has to offer. And when we begin to experience His vastness, it’s evidently clear that He possesses ENDLESS amounts of wealth, power and fame. It is clear that He possesses a standard of holiness that He asks us to live by.

And so… To reverentially fear Him is to truly experience Him…. To experience His Kingdom and feel overwhelmed by the majesty, splendor and glory of His presence.

And I don’t know about you, but I want to incessantly live from a place of reverence towards Him. I desire to respect the very culture of His Kingdom by upholding His standard of righteousness, justice and grace in all that I think, say and do. And sure, I won’t get it right every time (no one does); however, the beauty of it is, we can create an lifestyle that helps us cultivate the very nature of reverence. 🌱 #cultivatelife

The Standard

AmandaLeave a comment

All week I’ve sat and pondered, “How can I become a more effective communicator of what Holy Spirit continues to reveal to me?” You see I want to encourage you to allow Holy Spirit to lead you down a path where the lame and manipulative layers of tradition and religion are stripped away, revealing a very real, very transparent and very powerful God. One that is no respecter of persons, but instead is very focused on communing with each and every single one of us on a moment-to-moment basis. 

And so, I want to ask, “Have you ever considered that maybe justice starts within each and every single one of us first and foremost?” 

And when I say justice, don’t look at the physical. Instead, challenge yourself to go deeper. Explore what you can’t see, but what governs the realms, dimensions, timelines and ages apart from this one.

Look at your spirit. Look at your heart. Look at your soul.

Now, while you’re looking, let me ask… Can each and every one of us confidently say that our trans-dimensional human spirits are activated and engaged, without being usurped by the soul? And, if so, are we operating from a place of wisdom and understanding… A place that doesn’t focus on engaging in divisive conversations, but where we can take our frustrations to the heavens to really learn and discern what’s happening? And, once we learn/discern, can we truly say we are spiritually strong and equipped enough to fight the unseen wars wagging in the spirit around us? 

And, if we are strong enough, can we confidently say, “I am growing with Holy Spirit every single day and allowing Him to bring life-giving solutions to my spirit, my heart and my soul so that those solutions may flow forward and produce healing and wholeness in my body and my world?” Can we say, “I see that God wants me to understand my world… That He wants me to come to Him so that He can heal me and free me of every sickness, disease and dark behavior… Even those brought down in my bloodline through generational iniquity?” Can we say (and this is a challenging one I’ve had to embrace), “Maybe the ‘god’ I hear from isn’t really God at all… Maybe it’s actually a religious spirit, masquerading itself as light and preventing me from seeing who Jesus truly is?” 

You see I believe true justice lies within the realm of the spirit first and foremost. Because, if we truly believe in Jesus, then we are to walk in the fullness of grace. And to walk in that fullness means we must align with the Kingdom of Heaven so that we may continuously stand before God and receive justice within our own lives.

We MUST come to a place where we walk free from iniquity, twistedness and perversion. Because if we cannot go before the Father and ask Him to deal with us internally, then how do we ever intend on truly governing earth? How do we ever intend on ruling & reigning with complete power, dominion & authority if we do not understand Heaven’s lingo? How do we ever intend on manifesting signs & wonders and miracles as we defeat the kingdom of darkness if we cannot even allow Jesus to administer His justice system in our own lives. 

So, you see, justice… It starts in us. It enters the gates of our hearts and changes the content of our internal culture. And then it sets a standard that encourages us to pursue true holiness. And that justice, it doesn’t ever relent. Instead, it continues to call us higher so that the only standard we live by is the Kingdom of God. 🌱 #cultivatelife

The Gem of Anointing

AmandaLeave a comment

For about a month now, I’ve been asking Holy Spirit if I can share a spiritual experience I had. I mean… It was fascinating!! So, I couldn’t wait for Him to give me the notion to “move forward.”

About a month ago I was praying, listening to Him and speaking to my human spirit… Then, very suddenly, I saw this giant gemstone in the spirit. It was HUGE. About the width of my chest. Very bright and shiny. Very suddenly it started moving towards me, and I watched as angels screwed it into a large opening that instantly appeared inside my spirit’s chest.

Then, I got a separate view of the process… And I saw the large gemstone actually lay itself onto a smaller gemstone that was already inserted inside of my spirit.

OBVIOUSLY, I immediately wanted to know what I just experienced… And so, Holy Spirit began to explain…

He said, “That large gemstone is your anointing. The small gemstone is the heart of your spirit. See how crystal clear the small gem is? That’s because the light is shinning brightly through your fractals. All of your redemptive gifts are being used. And because the light from your spirit has become so bright and strong, I am having angels install this stone of anointing inside of you. It’s your anointing I am giving YOU. It’s separate from the one your grandmother carried. This is yours. I designed it for you and you alone. It fits your spirit in such an intricate way. And it can grow. As your spirit matures and grows in deeper intimacy with Me, the power of that stone will mature and grow. And more of Me will streamline from it.”

Then He went on to explain that everyone that comes into the Kingdom of Heaven has an anointing because it’s part of our inheritance in Christ. He also told me to stop viewing the anointing the way I was raised to view it. He said, “Religion placed people with strong gifts on pedestals and then called that gift the ‘anointing.’ And, while some of that is true, it’s not all true because everyone has redemptive gifts, spiritual gifts AND an anointing that are all separate from each other, but work together when you access them and cultivate a strong relationship with them.”

Now, if you’re anything like me… Or if you know me in the least bit, then you’ll understand that I was immediately eager to start cultivating a relationship with the stone. I mean… The stone, when activated and used, unlocks so much untapped power and a world full of mystery that is begging to be discovered.

And so that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. I’ve been using this very challenging season of maturity to learn about, operate in and pursue my anointing. Because I am learning that the anointing is vital to my personal track of maturity. I cannot move forward without it. It is essential to ruling & reigning in the Heavens and on Earth. It is pivotal in walking out any God-given, God-appointed mandate. And it is separate from gifting. It is separate from fractals of the human spirit. It is structured and built on presence. To be given or ignited within when the time is best.

And I am sharing this with you because I want to continue to encourage you to keep pursuing a relationship with Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit AND the Kingdom of Heaven. Because when we do, we not only discover more levels of healing, restoration and deliverance, but we also come into a place where we can discover and learn about portions of our inheritance in Christ we never knew we could posses. And those portions, those gifts, those revelations, those anointings… Well they will provide us with the real and raw capability to move about the earth in such a way of power, dominion and authority I don’t believe we’ve ever seen before.

True Satisfaction

AmandaLeave a comment

I’m still focused in on the concept of satisfaction and how I am to truly cultivate a lifestyle of it. 

And, in all of my mediation over the past few weeks, this is what’s becoming evidentiary clear to my heart and soul…

A satisfied life is not a settled life. It’s not a life where you throw in the towel and hunker in with the mindset of following the culture. Instead… A satisfied life means you’ve fully surrendered (in joy) to the reality that God will provide you with the next piece of the puzzle when He knows you’re ready…. And, until then, you will work diligently with what He’s given you

And I wish I grasped this so long ago… Honestly, I do…. Because it would’ve saved me from so many set backs and sleepless nights where I tried to “figure it all out” with my soul’s rational thinking.

However, I am learning that I must live from a place where I am satisfied in ALL aspects of life… Which includes where He’s leading my sister and me with Cultivate Life & Bridget Winder Art.

You see for years we’ve chosen to let Him lead us in making decisions that are big and small. And though His lead doesn’t usually make logical, 3D sense, my spirit knows and understands it to be the best choice because it is the most fulfilling one.

You see His choices offer a clean and sturdy foundation where fear of money, fear of man, jealousy, pride, envy and bitterness cannot exist. His path makes sure I don’t sew seeds of manipulation and deception into the fertile soil of all He is aiming to cultivate.

And I guess what I’m trying to say is this… God’s plans and purposes for leading me in business are much larger than I ever anticipated because they exist in realms and dimensions far deeper, wider and thorougher than I ever fathomed. And, although I’ve been learning I need to be satisfied with the things of Him, I never considered how that satisfaction would need to echo into every aspect of my life…. So much so that my spirit would be required to transcribe that satisfaction onto a scroll for my soul to pick up, read and follow.

And with that… Well I firmly see that being satisfied must leak into my professional life… I must become satisfied with the way in which He’s taught me to do business and build companies for His Kingdom. I must rest on the truth that He’s provided me with everything I need in this present moment… And when more is needed, in all facets, He will supply.🌱 #cultivatelife

That is Your Superpower

AmandaLeave a comment

“You need to stay focused on Me. That is your superpower. I AM your superpower.”

And this superpower isn’t anything I’m aiming to keep a secret… My ability to remain focused on God, His goodness and His kingdom is the most vital thing I can continue to do right now.

Why?

Well because the kingdom of darkness is trying its very hardest to usurp the Kingdom of God. But, it won’t. Why? Well because the Kingdom of God is much, much stronger. How? Well because Jesus rules & reigns; and He has given us power, dominion & authority so that we may rule & reign with Him.

And I do realize I have been writing about this a lot lately. But… You see it’s just so important that I keep expressing this truth. It’s so vital that we live from a place of power, dominion & authority over the death and darkness that’s pushing its agenda on mankind.

It’s not enough in the least bit anymore to stand around and proclaim faith in Jesus, but then to sit back and not operate in all He has equip us with.

Because I believe… I believe when our human spirits are healthy and active we have the ability to become like superheroes in the unseen realms of life. I believe… Actually I live from this place on the regular. A place of power. A place where I am praying and speaking into matters of the unseen, so that they may change in the unseen and then flow into the seen.

And so… As always, I want to encourage you to continue to focus on God, His goodness and His Kingdom. I want to encourage you to live from a place of divine alignment (spirit, soul, heart and body) with His kingdom so that you may rule & reign as you operate in power, dominion and authority. And, most importantly I want to continue to see the kingdom of darkness squelched by the life of Christ that’s flowing through each one of us that believes in Him. 🌱⚔️🛡 #cultivatelife #ruleandreign
