2026: Rebuilt & Restored: Ep 12: God’s Blueprint for 2026
The player is loading ...
Host Connie Morris explores "The Rebuilding" — 2026 (Hebrew year 5786) as a season when God clears away false foundations and restores identity, faith, purpose, relationships, emotional stability, and finances. She draws on biblical examples (Noah, Nehemiah, Job, Peter, the early church) to show how God rebuilds with glory rather than trauma.
The episode outlines signs of a heavenly rebuilding season, the tools God uses—His Word, Spirit, timing, people, wisdom, correction, and presence—and encourages listeners to expect supernatural speed, fresh grace, and a renewed destiny.

00:00:10.013 --> 00:00:15.593
Welcome to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast, where we pray bold prayers,
00:00:16.073 --> 00:00:19.953
walk in bold faith, and expect a bold God to show up.
00:00:20.093 --> 00:00:25.673
I'm your host, Connie Morris, and we open every episode with the same unshakable
00:00:25.673 --> 00:00:29.613
confidence Jabez had in 1 Chronicles 4.10.
00:00:29.893 --> 00:00:35.613
Lord, bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, let your hand be with me,
00:00:35.973 --> 00:00:39.973
keep me from evil, and keep me from causing pain. And the Bible says,
00:00:40.493 --> 00:00:41.813
God granted his request.
00:00:42.033 --> 00:00:45.573
So if you're here today, get ready, because we're praying big,
00:00:45.953 --> 00:00:51.813
believing big, and walking in everything God promised. Let's begin.
00:01:01.344 --> 00:01:05.484
Hello and welcome back to Diary of a Black Woman podcast. I'm your host Connie
00:01:05.484 --> 00:01:12.724
Morris and we're on episode 12 of 2026, the year when heaven and earth intersects.
00:01:12.904 --> 00:01:22.004
The title for this episode is called The Rebuilding, What God Will Restore After the Shaking.
00:01:22.344 --> 00:01:26.564
I'm your host Connie Morris and today we move into one of the most hopeful,
00:01:26.884 --> 00:01:31.064
powerful themes of the coming year, rebuilding.
00:01:31.344 --> 00:01:36.704
If God shakes it, it's because he intends to rebuild it.
00:01:36.904 --> 00:01:45.864
If heaven interrupts it, it's because God's plan is to restore it. 5786 is a year when,
00:01:46.562 --> 00:01:52.662
God tears down what we cannot stand so he can rebuild what cannot fall.
00:01:52.942 --> 00:01:58.862
So God tears down what cannot stand so he can rebuild what cannot fall.
00:01:59.182 --> 00:02:04.022
This is not a year of ruin. This is a year of reconstruction.
00:02:05.122 --> 00:02:11.402
The Hebrew year 5, 7, 8, 6, the year of rebuilding and reformation.
00:02:12.202 --> 00:02:16.442
5, 7, 8, 6 symbolizes establishing new foundations.
00:02:16.562 --> 00:02:23.882
Rebuilding ruined places, divine construction, a turning of the table.
00:02:24.242 --> 00:02:31.402
Heaven's blueprint is being revealed, a spiritual construction site. Sound like Isaiah 61.
00:02:31.902 --> 00:02:37.322
Heavenly architecture on earth. This is a year where God says,
00:02:37.482 --> 00:02:43.502
I am rebuilding you, your life, your purpose, your identity and your path.
00:02:43.802 --> 00:02:47.762
What collapsed under pressure will not be rebuilt the same way.
00:02:48.002 --> 00:02:53.362
What broke in the shaking will be restored with glory and not trauma.
00:02:53.602 --> 00:02:56.882
The shaking makes room for the rebuilding.
00:02:57.442 --> 00:03:03.842
Before God rebuilds, he removes false foundations, toxic alignments,
00:03:04.362 --> 00:03:10.842
counterfeit purposes, emotional clutter, soul ties, fear structures.
00:03:11.722 --> 00:03:18.702
Patterns of retreat, self-reliance, dead assignments, people who hinder your destiny.
00:03:18.922 --> 00:03:23.922
That seems to be an underlying theme, removing people who hinder your destiny.
00:03:24.162 --> 00:03:31.222
You cannot rebuild yesterday's thinking. You cannot rebuild yesterday's relationship
00:03:31.222 --> 00:03:34.982
and you cannot rebuild yesterday's wounds.
00:03:35.282 --> 00:03:37.702
God shakes to clear space.
00:03:38.533 --> 00:03:46.293
God rebuilds to establish destiny. So what are some biblical patterns of God's rebuilding?
00:03:46.673 --> 00:03:50.293
Let's go to Noah, Genesis 8 and 9.
00:03:50.973 --> 00:03:55.933
You saw Noah rebuilt after the flood. The shaking that happened during Noah's
00:03:55.933 --> 00:04:00.793
day was global, but the rebuilding was generational.
00:04:01.733 --> 00:04:04.973
Nehemiah rebuilding ruins into strength.
00:04:05.493 --> 00:04:14.413
Nehemiah, read the whole Nehemiah book, but walls broken by fire were rebuilt in 52 days by glory.
00:04:14.533 --> 00:04:17.933
Nehemiah, just like Noah, let's just start with Noah.
00:04:18.293 --> 00:04:23.053
Noah was told to build an ark because God said it's going to rain.
00:04:23.593 --> 00:04:28.873
Noah had never seen rain because the earth watered itself from the bottom.
00:04:29.053 --> 00:04:31.373
It never watered itself from the clouds.
00:04:31.593 --> 00:04:36.513
And so, but Noah didn't hesitate. There was something new. Remember, God is doing a new thing.
00:04:36.693 --> 00:04:39.613
He said, and Noah began to build this ark.
00:04:39.833 --> 00:04:43.133
And when he finished building, he also was preaching.
00:04:43.313 --> 00:04:47.313
He was a preacher of righteousness. So he was preaching righteousness that God's
00:04:47.313 --> 00:04:50.293
going to send rain and he wanted people to repent.
00:04:50.713 --> 00:04:54.453
Well, you know, just like the people of today, but they'd never seen it before.
00:04:54.613 --> 00:04:57.013
They want to laugh and mock and laugh and mock.
00:04:57.213 --> 00:05:03.393
But when it started to rain and God himself closed the ark, it was over.
00:05:03.853 --> 00:05:08.333
So the only person who survived that flood was Noah and his family.
00:05:08.593 --> 00:05:13.813
We see here in Nehemiah, Nehemiah rebuilding rooms into strength.
00:05:14.153 --> 00:05:17.793
Nehemiah was assigned to build the walls of Jerusalem.
00:05:18.273 --> 00:05:25.233
He was working under a king, so he had to go ask his boss, can he get time off to go rebuild the wall?
00:05:25.673 --> 00:05:31.673
And he did the wall rebuilding in 52 days. But as you read Nehemiah,
00:05:31.793 --> 00:05:34.193
you'll find out there were some haters in the midst.
00:05:34.851 --> 00:05:39.711
They were doing everything they could to distract Nehemiah from finishing his
00:05:39.711 --> 00:05:42.311
project that God has placed on his heart.
00:05:42.551 --> 00:05:49.151
And so we were working with a sword in one hand and a hammer in another one.
00:05:49.251 --> 00:05:52.131
And they finished that wall in 52 days.
00:05:52.411 --> 00:05:54.271
That only could have been God.
00:05:54.611 --> 00:05:59.531
Job, rebuilding after loss. We know the story of Job. Job lost his whole family.
00:06:00.498 --> 00:06:06.538
God restores Job's life to double what he has lost.
00:06:07.138 --> 00:06:11.478
Job had a problem with not understanding how God was working,
00:06:11.698 --> 00:06:16.798
you know, but he never blamed God through all his trials and tribulation.
00:06:17.198 --> 00:06:21.478
But he had an awesome, if you read the book of Job, it's a long book,
00:06:22.038 --> 00:06:24.038
38 chapters, 42 chapters.
00:06:24.298 --> 00:06:29.678
When you read 42 chapters of seeing Job, he was surrounded by wrong friends.
00:06:29.678 --> 00:06:33.718
His friend did not understand how God was working in his life.
00:06:34.398 --> 00:06:37.978
And Job, at the end of his, you know, before he got restored,
00:06:38.238 --> 00:06:43.258
he had to pray for his friends so that they can come into a knowledge of the true and living God.
00:06:43.518 --> 00:06:48.238
As they each took about two chapters to tell him what was going on in their life.
00:06:48.798 --> 00:06:54.118
You know, isn't that interesting? But then at the end, God, because Job showed
00:06:54.118 --> 00:06:58.938
himself to be faithful, God showed up and gave him double for his trouble.
00:06:58.938 --> 00:07:02.158
Israel, rebuilding after exile, 61.4.
00:07:02.418 --> 00:07:06.878
This is probably pretty much what it sounds like for what this is meaning.
00:07:07.138 --> 00:07:14.198
As you read Isaiah 61, the whole one, it talks about rebuilding the ancient ruins.
00:07:14.858 --> 00:07:18.758
God wants to rebuild those things broken down in your life.
00:07:19.118 --> 00:07:24.058
Those things that you thought would never, ever be restored because maybe your
00:07:24.058 --> 00:07:28.358
past failures, emotional trauma, things happen in your family,
00:07:28.618 --> 00:07:31.538
things happen to you, things happen to your children.
00:07:31.838 --> 00:07:34.938
And you're thinking like you have to write it off like it was all gone.
00:07:35.098 --> 00:07:38.738
But God says, no, I'm going to rebuild after exile.
00:07:38.898 --> 00:07:41.238
I'm going to rebuild after your captivity.
00:07:41.998 --> 00:07:43.898
I'm going to show you something new.
00:07:44.664 --> 00:07:48.984
Peter, Rebuilding After Failure, John 21. Remember, he said,
00:07:49.064 --> 00:07:52.604
Lord, I'll do it, and then I'll go with you to the end of the earth.
00:07:53.204 --> 00:07:57.964
Jesus said, no, you won't. You will deny me three times, and he did.
00:07:58.344 --> 00:08:04.324
And if you ever watched the movie The Passion of Christ, you can see that Jesus wasn't far off.
00:08:04.484 --> 00:08:06.464
He actually witnessed it and
00:08:06.464 --> 00:08:12.444
said, when the crow crows, you would have already denied me three times.
00:08:13.104 --> 00:08:17.044
And when Jesus rose from the dead, he went looking for Peter.
00:08:17.564 --> 00:08:22.644
He went looking for Peter. And Peter, from that day forth, from his experience
00:08:22.644 --> 00:08:29.284
of failing to his experience of victory, he became one of the strongest apostles in the book of Acts.
00:08:29.584 --> 00:08:34.784
He was an apostle. Remember, he was just Peter when he failed Jesus.
00:08:35.064 --> 00:08:39.964
He was a disciple, but then he became an apostolic leadership.
00:08:39.964 --> 00:08:45.824
He became an apostle. So he built churches all over the place because of his
00:08:45.824 --> 00:08:48.644
willing to get back up after he failed.
00:08:49.404 --> 00:08:54.404
Number six, it says the early church rebuilding after persecution, Acts 8.
00:08:55.781 --> 00:09:01.401
Enemy scattered, but God multiplied. Every rebuilding season has three marks,
00:09:02.241 --> 00:09:08.001
fresh grace, divine direction, heavenly timing, new identity,
00:09:08.841 --> 00:09:16.421
supernatural speed, favor with the right people, strength to do what seems impossible.
00:09:16.761 --> 00:09:21.821
2026 will carry all of these, Right? So God wants to do a new thing.
00:09:22.001 --> 00:09:27.361
And when you think about the episodes that previous and even as we continue
00:09:27.361 --> 00:09:31.621
into January regarding what God wants to do in 2026,
00:09:32.181 --> 00:09:39.581
one thing that stood out on this list was two things, heavenly timing and supernatural speed.
00:09:39.581 --> 00:09:43.681
We have been waiting, we have been praying, and yet things have been moving
00:09:43.681 --> 00:09:50.201
really, really slow. in 2020's year of acceleration, supernatural speed.
00:09:50.401 --> 00:09:52.881
It doesn't take God all day.
00:09:53.181 --> 00:09:57.461
It took Noah 120 years to build that iron.
00:09:57.961 --> 00:10:00.641
And then I don't know how long Job's story, I think Job's story,
00:10:00.761 --> 00:10:03.821
if you research it, lasts about eight months, right?
00:10:04.081 --> 00:10:07.241
And then Peter's story, probably about two or three years, right?
00:10:07.421 --> 00:10:11.801
And so it doesn't take God all day to do what he needs to do.
00:10:11.881 --> 00:10:14.141
And he's gonna show us that in 2026.
00:10:14.901 --> 00:10:17.861
So what is God rebuilding in 2026?
00:10:19.241 --> 00:10:25.061
Number one, your identity. The shaking exposes what is false.
00:10:25.701 --> 00:10:28.181
Now God rebuilds who you truly are.
00:10:28.941 --> 00:10:33.041
We tend to want to wear a mask, right?
00:10:33.221 --> 00:10:37.601
We want to kind of flow and fake with what everybody else is doing.
00:10:37.761 --> 00:10:43.101
But only God can see your heart. Only God can know who you truly are.
00:10:43.241 --> 00:10:46.421
And he is going to reveal that to you in 2026.
00:10:46.721 --> 00:10:52.221
Your faith. it will be stronger, deeper, cleaner, and unshakable.
00:10:52.481 --> 00:10:56.021
God is going to build your faith. How would he do that?
00:10:56.721 --> 00:11:02.421
When God does something, you ever had him show up supernaturally in your life
00:11:02.421 --> 00:11:04.681
and only person could have done that was him?
00:11:05.341 --> 00:11:09.121
Doesn't that build your faith to believe the impossible when something else
00:11:09.121 --> 00:11:11.681
comes up just as bad, right?
00:11:11.921 --> 00:11:14.141
And so he's going to build your faith, your purpose.
00:11:14.601 --> 00:11:19.601
Assignments that align with heaven, not survival. Wow, that's powerful because
00:11:19.601 --> 00:11:25.661
how many times, and I can raise my hand, that we take jobs because we need to pay some bills.
00:11:26.201 --> 00:11:32.301
But how about taking a job where it's your divine purpose that you would even
00:11:32.301 --> 00:11:35.081
do it free because you're not about the money.
00:11:35.241 --> 00:11:38.481
You're about what God wants. Isn't that powerful?
00:11:42.981 --> 00:11:47.681
Assignments that align with heaven and not survival. I think we've been living
00:11:47.681 --> 00:11:53.041
in this survival state that we will not know how to act. At least I speak for myself.
00:11:53.321 --> 00:11:56.061
When God says, you know what? I'm going to take care of this.
00:11:56.261 --> 00:11:58.041
If you want to work, you can.
00:11:58.969 --> 00:12:01.429
And if you don't, you don't. And
00:12:01.429 --> 00:12:04.989
then what would you do at all the extra expenses, the money that you have?
00:12:05.729 --> 00:12:11.149
You probably will build your business because we're set to do something powerful,
00:12:11.149 --> 00:12:15.609
but not at the hands of man, only at the hands of God.
00:12:16.289 --> 00:12:20.189
Number four, your confidence. It's going to give you back your boldness.
00:12:21.109 --> 00:12:25.889
5786 is rebuilding boldness. Aren't you tired of being like,
00:12:26.009 --> 00:12:29.189
I hate to say this, but I'm going to say being pumped out over little things,
00:12:29.669 --> 00:12:34.649
being stressed out, not able to say what you want to say because you're working for survival.
00:12:34.949 --> 00:12:37.849
Your family line cycles are breaking.
00:12:38.349 --> 00:12:40.629
Generational healing is beginning.
00:12:41.169 --> 00:12:45.829
How many of us need that in our family? We've been praying for salvation for
00:12:45.829 --> 00:12:50.909
our children, for our whole family line, and yet they have kind of laughed at you.
00:12:51.229 --> 00:12:56.409
How about God steps in and break that cycle and your whole family is saved?
00:12:56.809 --> 00:13:00.649
Not just saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, but walking in their divine purpose.
00:13:01.109 --> 00:13:05.909
Knowing exactly how it feels to hear the voice of God, to have the direction
00:13:05.909 --> 00:13:08.869
of God that you have. And that just be a powerful testimony.
00:13:09.729 --> 00:13:15.629
Number six, your emotional stability. Trauma is being dismantled and peace is being rebuilt.
00:13:15.629 --> 00:13:22.349
So I think trauma is that strong voice, kind of a low home in our background
00:13:22.349 --> 00:13:27.169
saying that we can't do that because we were this or we were that or our family
00:13:27.169 --> 00:13:29.169
was this or our family was that.
00:13:29.309 --> 00:13:31.829
God says, no, I'm changing that emotional stability.
00:13:32.129 --> 00:13:36.449
I am healing the trauma and I am giving you peace.
00:13:36.609 --> 00:13:40.569
What would that feel like not to have the memories, the stories,
00:13:41.009 --> 00:13:44.989
just the background noise of what you used to be or what you experienced?
00:13:44.989 --> 00:13:51.469
That you can walk fully, heal, and whole in what God has for you and not look back.
00:13:51.849 --> 00:13:54.509
Not be stuck or stagnated.
00:13:55.395 --> 00:13:57.735
Because you don't feel that you're good enough. I don't know about you,
00:13:57.815 --> 00:14:00.735
but that just encouraged me. Number seven, your finances.
00:14:01.095 --> 00:14:06.095
Come on now. We're not going to longer work to survive. What was stolen will be restored.
00:14:06.435 --> 00:14:12.075
What was delayed will be released. How powerful is that to put you in a state
00:14:12.075 --> 00:14:20.275
of wealth that requires just you walking in God's purpose and doing the things you so desire?
00:14:20.275 --> 00:14:26.115
You know, if someone was to give you a credit card with unlimited access,
00:14:26.555 --> 00:14:29.995
whatever, there's no limit on it, what would you do with it?
00:14:30.075 --> 00:14:32.255
What would you do with it?
00:14:32.795 --> 00:14:37.395
Who would you bless? Or would you just go rent a yacht and just take a lot of
00:14:37.395 --> 00:14:40.055
pictures for YouTube or Instagram?
00:14:40.695 --> 00:14:44.215
What would you do? That's what God is asking you.
00:14:44.355 --> 00:14:51.055
What would you do if I restored you back to wholeness? Number eight, your relationships.
00:14:51.255 --> 00:14:55.115
God is rebuilding your cycle with covenant people.
00:14:55.635 --> 00:14:59.535
Many times we stay with the wrong people, wrong relationships,
00:14:59.555 --> 00:15:01.855
because we don't feel good about ourselves.
00:15:02.075 --> 00:15:07.215
And so we'll settle with the noise, even though it makes us uncomfortable.
00:15:08.075 --> 00:15:13.035
I know I'm better than this, but yet you stay in that group.
00:15:13.215 --> 00:15:16.315
I remember I stayed in a group like that, but only way I could stay in that
00:15:16.315 --> 00:15:17.555
if I was drinking, right?
00:15:17.735 --> 00:15:20.595
So I would go over there and I would drink with them and I don't have to think
00:15:20.595 --> 00:15:24.355
about what I don't need to be here that I can do better.
00:15:24.535 --> 00:15:27.015
But once I'm drinking, I'm fine.
00:15:27.255 --> 00:15:30.195
Well, when you stop drinking and doing drugs, guess what happens?
00:15:30.195 --> 00:15:36.835
Your mind clears up and you realize that you were built for much more than what you have settled for.
00:15:37.706 --> 00:15:43.146
But that was a rhyme. You were built for much more than what you have been settling for.
00:15:43.506 --> 00:15:49.026
Number nine, your discernment. The shaking taught you to hear God clearly.
00:15:49.346 --> 00:15:56.626
So now when you're in a state of this shaking, but you're also in a state of
00:15:56.626 --> 00:15:59.386
discernment, you can hear God.
00:15:59.586 --> 00:16:03.746
You ever hear God better when things are bad than when things are good?
00:16:04.066 --> 00:16:07.226
This is what God's saying. It's going to be a mixture of good and bad,
00:16:07.346 --> 00:16:11.606
but he said your discernment will teach you to hear God clearly.
00:16:12.186 --> 00:16:17.086
And finally, number 10, your destiny. Everything you lost, God is rebuilding stronger.
00:16:17.526 --> 00:16:21.926
How about that? God says, I'm going to give it back to you in a better state
00:16:21.926 --> 00:16:25.406
with interest. Come on out with interest.
00:16:26.306 --> 00:16:31.846
Signs you are in a heavenly rebuilding season. How do you know when your season's
00:16:31.846 --> 00:16:36.206
coming? I've covered a lot in December and we're getting ready to cover a lot in January.
00:16:36.586 --> 00:16:41.286
Each of these are just stages and some things to stay alert about,
00:16:41.526 --> 00:16:46.346
to be awakened to as things start to change in your life.
00:16:46.506 --> 00:16:50.566
Number one, you feel God pulling you into new levels of discipline.
00:16:50.866 --> 00:16:53.466
You no longer want the things that distract you.
00:16:53.826 --> 00:16:57.326
This is how you know you're in a heavily rebuilding season.
00:16:57.606 --> 00:17:03.646
Your vision is becoming clearer. You feel strengthened in areas that were once weak.
00:17:04.106 --> 00:17:07.546
Connections you once depended on no longer matter.
00:17:07.806 --> 00:17:14.106
You are drawn to prayer, fasting, and consecration. You feel like a new person is emerging.
00:17:14.766 --> 00:17:18.486
Doors are opening that match who you are becoming.
00:17:19.066 --> 00:17:22.906
You are not going backwards. You are being rebuilt.
00:17:23.326 --> 00:17:30.786
So how does God rebuild us? What are some things and tools that he uses to rebuild us?
00:17:31.046 --> 00:17:32.886
He uses his word.
00:17:33.226 --> 00:17:35.226
Scripture becomes your blueprint.
00:17:36.068 --> 00:17:40.988
Anything that happens to you, you can actually go to the Bible and you can find
00:17:40.988 --> 00:17:47.188
someone who is experiencing something similar and see what God did for them.
00:17:47.328 --> 00:17:50.188
And I guarantee you, he will do that for you.
00:17:50.348 --> 00:17:52.828
His spirit, he builds you with his spirit.
00:17:53.288 --> 00:17:58.368
Revelation becomes your architecture. You love hearing new things about new things, right?
00:17:58.608 --> 00:18:03.108
When God shows you a new, Revelation is revealing a secret. You're like,
00:18:03.128 --> 00:18:04.848
I didn't know that. And it's so clear.
00:18:05.528 --> 00:18:11.808
His timing, delays become protection. His people, he surrounds you with builders, not breakers.
00:18:11.968 --> 00:18:16.008
His wisdom, he quiets your spirit so you can receive instruction.
00:18:16.468 --> 00:18:21.228
His correction, he relives what was crooked. Remember, God is not, it's a correction.
00:18:21.528 --> 00:18:24.988
Remember, Father, your Heavenly Father is like your Father on earth.
00:18:25.188 --> 00:18:28.268
If you're doing something wrong, he's going to have to get you in line.
00:18:28.388 --> 00:18:32.128
Can't let you keep going off. You have to get you back in line.
00:18:32.128 --> 00:18:34.848
What does that look like for you?
00:18:35.308 --> 00:18:38.928
And finally, his presence. This is the foundation of everything.
00:18:39.168 --> 00:18:43.648
So we see here that God uses his word, his spirit, his timing,
00:18:43.888 --> 00:18:51.168
his people, his wisdom, his correction, his presence to rebuild you and me.
00:18:51.548 --> 00:18:58.608
So what will not be rebuilt the same? So when God destroys the old and make
00:18:58.608 --> 00:19:02.368
all things new, what can we expect not to see again?
00:19:03.028 --> 00:19:08.948
God will not rebuild our old identity, old fears, old cycles,
00:19:09.408 --> 00:19:14.908
old thinking, old relationships, old coping mechanism, old assignments,
00:19:15.148 --> 00:19:17.048
or old emotional pattern.
00:19:17.428 --> 00:19:24.148
Why? Because 5786 demands a new you to match the new year.
00:19:24.668 --> 00:19:26.528
I love new. I know you do too.
00:19:27.408 --> 00:19:33.948
And so let's repeat this decree after me. God is rebuilding me stronger than before.
00:19:34.348 --> 00:19:37.468
Every area that was shaken is being restored.
00:19:37.888 --> 00:19:45.228
My identity is secure. My purpose is realigned. My foundation is established in Christ.
00:19:45.508 --> 00:19:49.108
Nothing missing, nothing broken, nothing wasted.
00:19:49.508 --> 00:19:54.488
I am rising, rebuilt, renewed, and restored.
00:19:55.088 --> 00:20:00.808
Let's pray. Father, rebuild every area touched by the shaking.
00:20:01.188 --> 00:20:03.808
Build my faith. Rebuild my identity.
00:20:04.288 --> 00:20:08.088
Rebuild my purpose, my relationships, my stability.
00:20:08.708 --> 00:20:12.868
Rebuild what trauma fractured. Build me according to heaven's blueprint.
00:20:13.208 --> 00:20:18.468
Let 2026 be the year of divine reconstruction and supernatural strength.
00:20:18.828 --> 00:20:20.828
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:20:21.748 --> 00:20:30.768
In episode 13, we're going to talk about the glory reveal, what God is unveiling after the shaking.
00:20:31.088 --> 00:20:33.808
Look forward to seeing you the next episode.
00:20:45.043 --> 00:20:49.363
Family, thank you for spending this time with me today. To every woman listening
00:20:49.363 --> 00:20:55.143
who has ever felt hidden, overlooked, or pushed aside, I want you to hear me clearly.
00:20:55.443 --> 00:20:58.323
God has not forgotten you, and neither have I.
00:20:58.503 --> 00:21:03.783
That's why I moved everything to our new home on PodPage, so you would have
00:21:03.783 --> 00:21:07.343
one place to connect with me, read the devotionals, listen to the podcast,
00:21:07.663 --> 00:21:09.583
and reach out whenever you need to.
00:21:09.683 --> 00:21:14.543
If you want to leave me a message, send an email, or simply find encouragement.
00:21:14.543 --> 00:21:18.263
It's all there at DiaryOfABlackWomanLLC.com.
00:21:18.303 --> 00:21:22.443
And if this podcast has blessed you and you want to support the work I'm doing,
00:21:22.643 --> 00:21:26.303
you'll find a Buy Me, a coffee link on the site as well.
00:21:26.523 --> 00:21:30.703
No pressure, just love and community. Before we leave, I want to speak the word
00:21:30.703 --> 00:21:33.703
that I close with every time because somebody needs this reminder today.
00:21:33.903 --> 00:21:36.643
It comes from Jeremiah 29, 11, 14.
00:21:37.103 --> 00:21:41.303
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you
00:21:41.303 --> 00:21:45.243
and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future, then you will call
00:21:45.243 --> 00:21:48.763
upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you.
00:21:48.923 --> 00:21:52.583
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
00:21:52.763 --> 00:21:56.223
I will be found by you, declares the Lord.
00:21:56.643 --> 00:22:01.143
Beloved, God has a plan for your life, a real one, a good one.
00:22:01.243 --> 00:22:07.123
And as long as you keep seeking him, you will find him even from the hidden places. I love you.
00:22:07.243 --> 00:22:09.723
I'm praying for you and I'll meet you next time.
00:00:10.013 --> 00:00:15.593
Welcome to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast, where we pray bold prayers,
00:00:16.073 --> 00:00:19.953
walk in bold faith, and expect a bold God to show up.
00:00:20.093 --> 00:00:25.673
I'm your host, Connie Morris, and we open every episode with the same unshakable
00:00:25.673 --> 00:00:29.613
confidence Jabez had in 1 Chronicles 4.10.
00:00:29.893 --> 00:00:35.613
Lord, bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, let your hand be with me,
00:00:35.973 --> 00:00:39.973
keep me from evil, and keep me from causing pain. And the Bible says,
00:00:40.493 --> 00:00:41.813
God granted his request.
00:00:42.033 --> 00:00:45.573
So if you're here today, get ready, because we're praying big,
00:00:45.953 --> 00:00:51.813
believing big, and walking in everything God promised. Let's begin.
00:01:01.344 --> 00:01:05.484
Hello and welcome back to Diary of a Black Woman podcast. I'm your host Connie
00:01:05.484 --> 00:01:12.724
Morris and we're on episode 12 of 2026, the year when heaven and earth intersects.
00:01:12.904 --> 00:01:22.004
The title for this episode is called The Rebuilding, What God Will Restore After the Shaking.
00:01:22.344 --> 00:01:26.564
I'm your host Connie Morris and today we move into one of the most hopeful,
00:01:26.884 --> 00:01:31.064
powerful themes of the coming year, rebuilding.
00:01:31.344 --> 00:01:36.704
If God shakes it, it's because he intends to rebuild it.
00:01:36.904 --> 00:01:45.864
If heaven interrupts it, it's because God's plan is to restore it. 5786 is a year when,
00:01:46.562 --> 00:01:52.662
God tears down what we cannot stand so he can rebuild what cannot fall.
00:01:52.942 --> 00:01:58.862
So God tears down what cannot stand so he can rebuild what cannot fall.
00:01:59.182 --> 00:02:04.022
This is not a year of ruin. This is a year of reconstruction.
00:02:05.122 --> 00:02:11.402
The Hebrew year 5, 7, 8, 6, the year of rebuilding and reformation.
00:02:12.202 --> 00:02:16.442
5, 7, 8, 6 symbolizes establishing new foundations.
00:02:16.562 --> 00:02:23.882
Rebuilding ruined places, divine construction, a turning of the table.
00:02:24.242 --> 00:02:31.402
Heaven's blueprint is being revealed, a spiritual construction site. Sound like Isaiah 61.
00:02:31.902 --> 00:02:37.322
Heavenly architecture on earth. This is a year where God says,
00:02:37.482 --> 00:02:43.502
I am rebuilding you, your life, your purpose, your identity and your path.
00:02:43.802 --> 00:02:47.762
What collapsed under pressure will not be rebuilt the same way.
00:02:48.002 --> 00:02:53.362
What broke in the shaking will be restored with glory and not trauma.
00:02:53.602 --> 00:02:56.882
The shaking makes room for the rebuilding.
00:02:57.442 --> 00:03:03.842
Before God rebuilds, he removes false foundations, toxic alignments,
00:03:04.362 --> 00:03:10.842
counterfeit purposes, emotional clutter, soul ties, fear structures.
00:03:11.722 --> 00:03:18.702
Patterns of retreat, self-reliance, dead assignments, people who hinder your destiny.
00:03:18.922 --> 00:03:23.922
That seems to be an underlying theme, removing people who hinder your destiny.
00:03:24.162 --> 00:03:31.222
You cannot rebuild yesterday's thinking. You cannot rebuild yesterday's relationship
00:03:31.222 --> 00:03:34.982
and you cannot rebuild yesterday's wounds.
00:03:35.282 --> 00:03:37.702
God shakes to clear space.
00:03:38.533 --> 00:03:46.293
God rebuilds to establish destiny. So what are some biblical patterns of God's rebuilding?
00:03:46.673 --> 00:03:50.293
Let's go to Noah, Genesis 8 and 9.
00:03:50.973 --> 00:03:55.933
You saw Noah rebuilt after the flood. The shaking that happened during Noah's
00:03:55.933 --> 00:04:00.793
day was global, but the rebuilding was generational.
00:04:01.733 --> 00:04:04.973
Nehemiah rebuilding ruins into strength.
00:04:05.493 --> 00:04:14.413
Nehemiah, read the whole Nehemiah book, but walls broken by fire were rebuilt in 52 days by glory.
00:04:14.533 --> 00:04:17.933
Nehemiah, just like Noah, let's just start with Noah.
00:04:18.293 --> 00:04:23.053
Noah was told to build an ark because God said it's going to rain.
00:04:23.593 --> 00:04:28.873
Noah had never seen rain because the earth watered itself from the bottom.
00:04:29.053 --> 00:04:31.373
It never watered itself from the clouds.
00:04:31.593 --> 00:04:36.513
And so, but Noah didn't hesitate. There was something new. Remember, God is doing a new thing.
00:04:36.693 --> 00:04:39.613
He said, and Noah began to build this ark.
00:04:39.833 --> 00:04:43.133
And when he finished building, he also was preaching.
00:04:43.313 --> 00:04:47.313
He was a preacher of righteousness. So he was preaching righteousness that God's
00:04:47.313 --> 00:04:50.293
going to send rain and he wanted people to repent.
00:04:50.713 --> 00:04:54.453
Well, you know, just like the people of today, but they'd never seen it before.
00:04:54.613 --> 00:04:57.013
They want to laugh and mock and laugh and mock.
00:04:57.213 --> 00:05:03.393
But when it started to rain and God himself closed the ark, it was over.
00:05:03.853 --> 00:05:08.333
So the only person who survived that flood was Noah and his family.
00:05:08.593 --> 00:05:13.813
We see here in Nehemiah, Nehemiah rebuilding rooms into strength.
00:05:14.153 --> 00:05:17.793
Nehemiah was assigned to build the walls of Jerusalem.
00:05:18.273 --> 00:05:25.233
He was working under a king, so he had to go ask his boss, can he get time off to go rebuild the wall?
00:05:25.673 --> 00:05:31.673
And he did the wall rebuilding in 52 days. But as you read Nehemiah,
00:05:31.793 --> 00:05:34.193
you'll find out there were some haters in the midst.
00:05:34.851 --> 00:05:39.711
They were doing everything they could to distract Nehemiah from finishing his
00:05:39.711 --> 00:05:42.311
project that God has placed on his heart.
00:05:42.551 --> 00:05:49.151
And so we were working with a sword in one hand and a hammer in another one.
00:05:49.251 --> 00:05:52.131
And they finished that wall in 52 days.
00:05:52.411 --> 00:05:54.271
That only could have been God.
00:05:54.611 --> 00:05:59.531
Job, rebuilding after loss. We know the story of Job. Job lost his whole family.
00:06:00.498 --> 00:06:06.538
God restores Job's life to double what he has lost.
00:06:07.138 --> 00:06:11.478
Job had a problem with not understanding how God was working,
00:06:11.698 --> 00:06:16.798
you know, but he never blamed God through all his trials and tribulation.
00:06:17.198 --> 00:06:21.478
But he had an awesome, if you read the book of Job, it's a long book,
00:06:22.038 --> 00:06:24.038
38 chapters, 42 chapters.
00:06:24.298 --> 00:06:29.678
When you read 42 chapters of seeing Job, he was surrounded by wrong friends.
00:06:29.678 --> 00:06:33.718
His friend did not understand how God was working in his life.
00:06:34.398 --> 00:06:37.978
And Job, at the end of his, you know, before he got restored,
00:06:38.238 --> 00:06:43.258
he had to pray for his friends so that they can come into a knowledge of the true and living God.
00:06:43.518 --> 00:06:48.238
As they each took about two chapters to tell him what was going on in their life.
00:06:48.798 --> 00:06:54.118
You know, isn't that interesting? But then at the end, God, because Job showed
00:06:54.118 --> 00:06:58.938
himself to be faithful, God showed up and gave him double for his trouble.
00:06:58.938 --> 00:07:02.158
Israel, rebuilding after exile, 61.4.
00:07:02.418 --> 00:07:06.878
This is probably pretty much what it sounds like for what this is meaning.
00:07:07.138 --> 00:07:14.198
As you read Isaiah 61, the whole one, it talks about rebuilding the ancient ruins.
00:07:14.858 --> 00:07:18.758
God wants to rebuild those things broken down in your life.
00:07:19.118 --> 00:07:24.058
Those things that you thought would never, ever be restored because maybe your
00:07:24.058 --> 00:07:28.358
past failures, emotional trauma, things happen in your family,
00:07:28.618 --> 00:07:31.538
things happen to you, things happen to your children.
00:07:31.838 --> 00:07:34.938
And you're thinking like you have to write it off like it was all gone.
00:07:35.098 --> 00:07:38.738
But God says, no, I'm going to rebuild after exile.
00:07:38.898 --> 00:07:41.238
I'm going to rebuild after your captivity.
00:07:41.998 --> 00:07:43.898
I'm going to show you something new.
00:07:44.664 --> 00:07:48.984
Peter, Rebuilding After Failure, John 21. Remember, he said,
00:07:49.064 --> 00:07:52.604
Lord, I'll do it, and then I'll go with you to the end of the earth.
00:07:53.204 --> 00:07:57.964
Jesus said, no, you won't. You will deny me three times, and he did.
00:07:58.344 --> 00:08:04.324
And if you ever watched the movie The Passion of Christ, you can see that Jesus wasn't far off.
00:08:04.484 --> 00:08:06.464
He actually witnessed it and
00:08:06.464 --> 00:08:12.444
said, when the crow crows, you would have already denied me three times.
00:08:13.104 --> 00:08:17.044
And when Jesus rose from the dead, he went looking for Peter.
00:08:17.564 --> 00:08:22.644
He went looking for Peter. And Peter, from that day forth, from his experience
00:08:22.644 --> 00:08:29.284
of failing to his experience of victory, he became one of the strongest apostles in the book of Acts.
00:08:29.584 --> 00:08:34.784
He was an apostle. Remember, he was just Peter when he failed Jesus.
00:08:35.064 --> 00:08:39.964
He was a disciple, but then he became an apostolic leadership.
00:08:39.964 --> 00:08:45.824
He became an apostle. So he built churches all over the place because of his
00:08:45.824 --> 00:08:48.644
willing to get back up after he failed.
00:08:49.404 --> 00:08:54.404
Number six, it says the early church rebuilding after persecution, Acts 8.
00:08:55.781 --> 00:09:01.401
Enemy scattered, but God multiplied. Every rebuilding season has three marks,
00:09:02.241 --> 00:09:08.001
fresh grace, divine direction, heavenly timing, new identity,
00:09:08.841 --> 00:09:16.421
supernatural speed, favor with the right people, strength to do what seems impossible.
00:09:16.761 --> 00:09:21.821
2026 will carry all of these, Right? So God wants to do a new thing.
00:09:22.001 --> 00:09:27.361
And when you think about the episodes that previous and even as we continue
00:09:27.361 --> 00:09:31.621
into January regarding what God wants to do in 2026,
00:09:32.181 --> 00:09:39.581
one thing that stood out on this list was two things, heavenly timing and supernatural speed.
00:09:39.581 --> 00:09:43.681
We have been waiting, we have been praying, and yet things have been moving
00:09:43.681 --> 00:09:50.201
really, really slow. in 2020's year of acceleration, supernatural speed.
00:09:50.401 --> 00:09:52.881
It doesn't take God all day.
00:09:53.181 --> 00:09:57.461
It took Noah 120 years to build that iron.
00:09:57.961 --> 00:10:00.641
And then I don't know how long Job's story, I think Job's story,
00:10:00.761 --> 00:10:03.821
if you research it, lasts about eight months, right?
00:10:04.081 --> 00:10:07.241
And then Peter's story, probably about two or three years, right?
00:10:07.421 --> 00:10:11.801
And so it doesn't take God all day to do what he needs to do.
00:10:11.881 --> 00:10:14.141
And he's gonna show us that in 2026.
00:10:14.901 --> 00:10:17.861
So what is God rebuilding in 2026?
00:10:19.241 --> 00:10:25.061
Number one, your identity. The shaking exposes what is false.
00:10:25.701 --> 00:10:28.181
Now God rebuilds who you truly are.
00:10:28.941 --> 00:10:33.041
We tend to want to wear a mask, right?
00:10:33.221 --> 00:10:37.601
We want to kind of flow and fake with what everybody else is doing.
00:10:37.761 --> 00:10:43.101
But only God can see your heart. Only God can know who you truly are.
00:10:43.241 --> 00:10:46.421
And he is going to reveal that to you in 2026.
00:10:46.721 --> 00:10:52.221
Your faith. it will be stronger, deeper, cleaner, and unshakable.
00:10:52.481 --> 00:10:56.021
God is going to build your faith. How would he do that?
00:10:56.721 --> 00:11:02.421
When God does something, you ever had him show up supernaturally in your life
00:11:02.421 --> 00:11:04.681
and only person could have done that was him?
00:11:05.341 --> 00:11:09.121
Doesn't that build your faith to believe the impossible when something else
00:11:09.121 --> 00:11:11.681
comes up just as bad, right?
00:11:11.921 --> 00:11:14.141
And so he's going to build your faith, your purpose.
00:11:14.601 --> 00:11:19.601
Assignments that align with heaven, not survival. Wow, that's powerful because
00:11:19.601 --> 00:11:25.661
how many times, and I can raise my hand, that we take jobs because we need to pay some bills.
00:11:26.201 --> 00:11:32.301
But how about taking a job where it's your divine purpose that you would even
00:11:32.301 --> 00:11:35.081
do it free because you're not about the money.
00:11:35.241 --> 00:11:38.481
You're about what God wants. Isn't that powerful?
00:11:42.981 --> 00:11:47.681
Assignments that align with heaven and not survival. I think we've been living
00:11:47.681 --> 00:11:53.041
in this survival state that we will not know how to act. At least I speak for myself.
00:11:53.321 --> 00:11:56.061
When God says, you know what? I'm going to take care of this.
00:11:56.261 --> 00:11:58.041
If you want to work, you can.
00:11:58.969 --> 00:12:01.429
And if you don't, you don't. And
00:12:01.429 --> 00:12:04.989
then what would you do at all the extra expenses, the money that you have?
00:12:05.729 --> 00:12:11.149
You probably will build your business because we're set to do something powerful,
00:12:11.149 --> 00:12:15.609
but not at the hands of man, only at the hands of God.
00:12:16.289 --> 00:12:20.189
Number four, your confidence. It's going to give you back your boldness.
00:12:21.109 --> 00:12:25.889
5786 is rebuilding boldness. Aren't you tired of being like,
00:12:26.009 --> 00:12:29.189
I hate to say this, but I'm going to say being pumped out over little things,
00:12:29.669 --> 00:12:34.649
being stressed out, not able to say what you want to say because you're working for survival.
00:12:34.949 --> 00:12:37.849
Your family line cycles are breaking.
00:12:38.349 --> 00:12:40.629
Generational healing is beginning.
00:12:41.169 --> 00:12:45.829
How many of us need that in our family? We've been praying for salvation for
00:12:45.829 --> 00:12:50.909
our children, for our whole family line, and yet they have kind of laughed at you.
00:12:51.229 --> 00:12:56.409
How about God steps in and break that cycle and your whole family is saved?
00:12:56.809 --> 00:13:00.649
Not just saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, but walking in their divine purpose.
00:13:01.109 --> 00:13:05.909
Knowing exactly how it feels to hear the voice of God, to have the direction
00:13:05.909 --> 00:13:08.869
of God that you have. And that just be a powerful testimony.
00:13:09.729 --> 00:13:15.629
Number six, your emotional stability. Trauma is being dismantled and peace is being rebuilt.
00:13:15.629 --> 00:13:22.349
So I think trauma is that strong voice, kind of a low home in our background
00:13:22.349 --> 00:13:27.169
saying that we can't do that because we were this or we were that or our family
00:13:27.169 --> 00:13:29.169
was this or our family was that.
00:13:29.309 --> 00:13:31.829
God says, no, I'm changing that emotional stability.
00:13:32.129 --> 00:13:36.449
I am healing the trauma and I am giving you peace.
00:13:36.609 --> 00:13:40.569
What would that feel like not to have the memories, the stories,
00:13:41.009 --> 00:13:44.989
just the background noise of what you used to be or what you experienced?
00:13:44.989 --> 00:13:51.469
That you can walk fully, heal, and whole in what God has for you and not look back.
00:13:51.849 --> 00:13:54.509
Not be stuck or stagnated.
00:13:55.395 --> 00:13:57.735
Because you don't feel that you're good enough. I don't know about you,
00:13:57.815 --> 00:14:00.735
but that just encouraged me. Number seven, your finances.
00:14:01.095 --> 00:14:06.095
Come on now. We're not going to longer work to survive. What was stolen will be restored.
00:14:06.435 --> 00:14:12.075
What was delayed will be released. How powerful is that to put you in a state
00:14:12.075 --> 00:14:20.275
of wealth that requires just you walking in God's purpose and doing the things you so desire?
00:14:20.275 --> 00:14:26.115
You know, if someone was to give you a credit card with unlimited access,
00:14:26.555 --> 00:14:29.995
whatever, there's no limit on it, what would you do with it?
00:14:30.075 --> 00:14:32.255
What would you do with it?
00:14:32.795 --> 00:14:37.395
Who would you bless? Or would you just go rent a yacht and just take a lot of
00:14:37.395 --> 00:14:40.055
pictures for YouTube or Instagram?
00:14:40.695 --> 00:14:44.215
What would you do? That's what God is asking you.
00:14:44.355 --> 00:14:51.055
What would you do if I restored you back to wholeness? Number eight, your relationships.
00:14:51.255 --> 00:14:55.115
God is rebuilding your cycle with covenant people.
00:14:55.635 --> 00:14:59.535
Many times we stay with the wrong people, wrong relationships,
00:14:59.555 --> 00:15:01.855
because we don't feel good about ourselves.
00:15:02.075 --> 00:15:07.215
And so we'll settle with the noise, even though it makes us uncomfortable.
00:15:08.075 --> 00:15:13.035
I know I'm better than this, but yet you stay in that group.
00:15:13.215 --> 00:15:16.315
I remember I stayed in a group like that, but only way I could stay in that
00:15:16.315 --> 00:15:17.555
if I was drinking, right?
00:15:17.735 --> 00:15:20.595
So I would go over there and I would drink with them and I don't have to think
00:15:20.595 --> 00:15:24.355
about what I don't need to be here that I can do better.
00:15:24.535 --> 00:15:27.015
But once I'm drinking, I'm fine.
00:15:27.255 --> 00:15:30.195
Well, when you stop drinking and doing drugs, guess what happens?
00:15:30.195 --> 00:15:36.835
Your mind clears up and you realize that you were built for much more than what you have settled for.
00:15:37.706 --> 00:15:43.146
But that was a rhyme. You were built for much more than what you have been settling for.
00:15:43.506 --> 00:15:49.026
Number nine, your discernment. The shaking taught you to hear God clearly.
00:15:49.346 --> 00:15:56.626
So now when you're in a state of this shaking, but you're also in a state of
00:15:56.626 --> 00:15:59.386
discernment, you can hear God.
00:15:59.586 --> 00:16:03.746
You ever hear God better when things are bad than when things are good?
00:16:04.066 --> 00:16:07.226
This is what God's saying. It's going to be a mixture of good and bad,
00:16:07.346 --> 00:16:11.606
but he said your discernment will teach you to hear God clearly.
00:16:12.186 --> 00:16:17.086
And finally, number 10, your destiny. Everything you lost, God is rebuilding stronger.
00:16:17.526 --> 00:16:21.926
How about that? God says, I'm going to give it back to you in a better state
00:16:21.926 --> 00:16:25.406
with interest. Come on out with interest.
00:16:26.306 --> 00:16:31.846
Signs you are in a heavenly rebuilding season. How do you know when your season's
00:16:31.846 --> 00:16:36.206
coming? I've covered a lot in December and we're getting ready to cover a lot in January.
00:16:36.586 --> 00:16:41.286
Each of these are just stages and some things to stay alert about,
00:16:41.526 --> 00:16:46.346
to be awakened to as things start to change in your life.
00:16:46.506 --> 00:16:50.566
Number one, you feel God pulling you into new levels of discipline.
00:16:50.866 --> 00:16:53.466
You no longer want the things that distract you.
00:16:53.826 --> 00:16:57.326
This is how you know you're in a heavily rebuilding season.
00:16:57.606 --> 00:17:03.646
Your vision is becoming clearer. You feel strengthened in areas that were once weak.
00:17:04.106 --> 00:17:07.546
Connections you once depended on no longer matter.
00:17:07.806 --> 00:17:14.106
You are drawn to prayer, fasting, and consecration. You feel like a new person is emerging.
00:17:14.766 --> 00:17:18.486
Doors are opening that match who you are becoming.
00:17:19.066 --> 00:17:22.906
You are not going backwards. You are being rebuilt.
00:17:23.326 --> 00:17:30.786
So how does God rebuild us? What are some things and tools that he uses to rebuild us?
00:17:31.046 --> 00:17:32.886
He uses his word.
00:17:33.226 --> 00:17:35.226
Scripture becomes your blueprint.
00:17:36.068 --> 00:17:40.988
Anything that happens to you, you can actually go to the Bible and you can find
00:17:40.988 --> 00:17:47.188
someone who is experiencing something similar and see what God did for them.
00:17:47.328 --> 00:17:50.188
And I guarantee you, he will do that for you.
00:17:50.348 --> 00:17:52.828
His spirit, he builds you with his spirit.
00:17:53.288 --> 00:17:58.368
Revelation becomes your architecture. You love hearing new things about new things, right?
00:17:58.608 --> 00:18:03.108
When God shows you a new, Revelation is revealing a secret. You're like,
00:18:03.128 --> 00:18:04.848
I didn't know that. And it's so clear.
00:18:05.528 --> 00:18:11.808
His timing, delays become protection. His people, he surrounds you with builders, not breakers.
00:18:11.968 --> 00:18:16.008
His wisdom, he quiets your spirit so you can receive instruction.
00:18:16.468 --> 00:18:21.228
His correction, he relives what was crooked. Remember, God is not, it's a correction.
00:18:21.528 --> 00:18:24.988
Remember, Father, your Heavenly Father is like your Father on earth.
00:18:25.188 --> 00:18:28.268
If you're doing something wrong, he's going to have to get you in line.
00:18:28.388 --> 00:18:32.128
Can't let you keep going off. You have to get you back in line.
00:18:32.128 --> 00:18:34.848
What does that look like for you?
00:18:35.308 --> 00:18:38.928
And finally, his presence. This is the foundation of everything.
00:18:39.168 --> 00:18:43.648
So we see here that God uses his word, his spirit, his timing,
00:18:43.888 --> 00:18:51.168
his people, his wisdom, his correction, his presence to rebuild you and me.
00:18:51.548 --> 00:18:58.608
So what will not be rebuilt the same? So when God destroys the old and make
00:18:58.608 --> 00:19:02.368
all things new, what can we expect not to see again?
00:19:03.028 --> 00:19:08.948
God will not rebuild our old identity, old fears, old cycles,
00:19:09.408 --> 00:19:14.908
old thinking, old relationships, old coping mechanism, old assignments,
00:19:15.148 --> 00:19:17.048
or old emotional pattern.
00:19:17.428 --> 00:19:24.148
Why? Because 5786 demands a new you to match the new year.
00:19:24.668 --> 00:19:26.528
I love new. I know you do too.
00:19:27.408 --> 00:19:33.948
And so let's repeat this decree after me. God is rebuilding me stronger than before.
00:19:34.348 --> 00:19:37.468
Every area that was shaken is being restored.
00:19:37.888 --> 00:19:45.228
My identity is secure. My purpose is realigned. My foundation is established in Christ.
00:19:45.508 --> 00:19:49.108
Nothing missing, nothing broken, nothing wasted.
00:19:49.508 --> 00:19:54.488
I am rising, rebuilt, renewed, and restored.
00:19:55.088 --> 00:20:00.808
Let's pray. Father, rebuild every area touched by the shaking.
00:20:01.188 --> 00:20:03.808
Build my faith. Rebuild my identity.
00:20:04.288 --> 00:20:08.088
Rebuild my purpose, my relationships, my stability.
00:20:08.708 --> 00:20:12.868
Rebuild what trauma fractured. Build me according to heaven's blueprint.
00:20:13.208 --> 00:20:18.468
Let 2026 be the year of divine reconstruction and supernatural strength.
00:20:18.828 --> 00:20:20.828
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:20:21.748 --> 00:20:30.768
In episode 13, we're going to talk about the glory reveal, what God is unveiling after the shaking.
00:20:31.088 --> 00:20:33.808
Look forward to seeing you the next episode.
00:20:45.043 --> 00:20:49.363
Family, thank you for spending this time with me today. To every woman listening
00:20:49.363 --> 00:20:55.143
who has ever felt hidden, overlooked, or pushed aside, I want you to hear me clearly.
00:20:55.443 --> 00:20:58.323
God has not forgotten you, and neither have I.
00:20:58.503 --> 00:21:03.783
That's why I moved everything to our new home on PodPage, so you would have
00:21:03.783 --> 00:21:07.343
one place to connect with me, read the devotionals, listen to the podcast,
00:21:07.663 --> 00:21:09.583
and reach out whenever you need to.
00:21:09.683 --> 00:21:14.543
If you want to leave me a message, send an email, or simply find encouragement.
00:21:14.543 --> 00:21:18.263
It's all there at DiaryOfABlackWomanLLC.com.
00:21:18.303 --> 00:21:22.443
And if this podcast has blessed you and you want to support the work I'm doing,
00:21:22.643 --> 00:21:26.303
you'll find a Buy Me, a coffee link on the site as well.
00:21:26.523 --> 00:21:30.703
No pressure, just love and community. Before we leave, I want to speak the word
00:21:30.703 --> 00:21:33.703
that I close with every time because somebody needs this reminder today.
00:21:33.903 --> 00:21:36.643
It comes from Jeremiah 29, 11, 14.
00:21:37.103 --> 00:21:41.303
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you
00:21:41.303 --> 00:21:45.243
and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future, then you will call
00:21:45.243 --> 00:21:48.763
upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you.
00:21:48.923 --> 00:21:52.583
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
00:21:52.763 --> 00:21:56.223
I will be found by you, declares the Lord.
00:21:56.643 --> 00:22:01.143
Beloved, God has a plan for your life, a real one, a good one.
00:22:01.243 --> 00:22:07.123
And as long as you keep seeking him, you will find him even from the hidden places. I love you.
00:22:07.243 --> 00:22:09.723
I'm praying for you and I'll meet you next time.
