Connie Morris closes the Reserve Assignment series with a message of hope: God orders your steps and prepares you for victory even through delays, trials, and silence.
Using examples like Joseph and Job, this episode reminds listeners that suffering can be preparation, victory may be quiet, and faithfulness will be rewarded as God restores and elevates.

00:00:12.633 --> 00:00:16.573
Welcome to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast with your host,
00:00:16.693 --> 00:00:21.413
Connie Morris, where healing has a voice and truth is no longer silent.
00:00:21.673 --> 00:00:26.333
Father God, like Jabez, we cry out that thou would bless us indeed.
00:00:26.913 --> 00:00:32.293
Bless every woman listening beyond trauma, beyond limits, beyond what she thought
00:00:32.293 --> 00:00:35.053
was possible. Enlarge her territory.
00:00:35.533 --> 00:00:39.273
Expand her purpose. Let your hand be upon this moment.
00:00:39.553 --> 00:00:45.453
Saturate every word with oil and truth. break cycles, cancel every curse sent
00:00:45.453 --> 00:00:48.933
to silence her. This isn't just a podcast.
00:00:49.213 --> 00:00:53.493
This is holy ground. In Jesus' name, amen.
00:00:53.913 --> 00:00:58.513
Welcome back to Diary of a Black Woman podcast, where we don't just survive
00:00:58.513 --> 00:01:01.033
life, we see God through it.
00:01:01.153 --> 00:01:05.593
I'm your host, Connie Morris, and today we close out the reserve assignment
00:01:05.593 --> 00:01:11.793
series with a truth that you can stand on, reserve for victory.
00:01:12.033 --> 00:01:17.393
Every battle, every delay, every door you thought was shut was God actually
00:01:17.393 --> 00:01:20.533
setting the stage for you to win.
00:01:20.773 --> 00:01:27.253
Psalms 37 verse 23 and 24 says, the Lord make firm the steps of the one who
00:01:27.253 --> 00:01:34.693
delights in him. Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
00:01:34.913 --> 00:01:39.833
That verse is proof that God doesn't just order your steps. He also catches
00:01:39.833 --> 00:01:41.473
you when you trip and fall.
00:01:41.833 --> 00:01:48.413
Victory isn't always about never falling. Sometimes it's about never staying down.
00:01:48.573 --> 00:01:52.533
From the beginning of this series, we've walked through some hard truths together.
00:01:52.533 --> 00:01:58.273
Learn to be the light in dark places, facing jealousy without losing focus.
00:01:58.733 --> 00:02:03.993
Waiting in faith when the timeline doesn't make sense, enduring dishonor,
00:02:04.233 --> 00:02:06.253
adversity, and misunderstanding.
00:02:06.913 --> 00:02:11.853
But here's the good news. None of it was wasted. Every chapter was evidence
00:02:11.853 --> 00:02:15.293
that your steps were still being ordered.
00:02:15.553 --> 00:02:20.793
God did not forget what he reserved for you. He was developing you for it.
00:02:21.014 --> 00:02:25.574
The attack was proof of assignment. The waiting was proof of preparation.
00:02:26.134 --> 00:02:30.434
And the victory you're about to see is proof of God's faithfulness.
00:02:30.574 --> 00:02:36.434
Sometimes we expect victory to be loud, a crowd cheering, doors swinging wide open.
00:02:36.754 --> 00:02:41.394
But real victory is often quiet. It's the peace you feel after chaos.
00:02:41.394 --> 00:02:44.074
It's the clarity you gain after confusion.
00:02:44.294 --> 00:02:50.154
It's knowing you didn't have to compromise to win. Some of you listening may
00:02:50.154 --> 00:02:54.834
have been in long battles, legal fights, family conflicts, church drama,
00:02:55.054 --> 00:02:57.694
and even inner warfare, and you're tired.
00:02:57.974 --> 00:03:03.434
But hear me clearly, God never lets a faithful fighter lose.
00:03:03.734 --> 00:03:08.534
He waits until the noise dies down to reveal your...
00:03:08.534 --> 00:03:14.594
Think about Joseph, sold by his brothers, falsely accused, forgotten in prison,
00:03:15.014 --> 00:03:19.614
yet elevated to save nations. Think about Job, broken, betrayed,
00:03:19.934 --> 00:03:21.574
and still blessed with devil.
00:03:21.834 --> 00:03:27.174
Think about Jesus, crucified publicly, but resurrected powerfully.
00:03:27.414 --> 00:03:34.294
Every story of pain had a chapter called, and God restored, and yours will too.
00:03:34.494 --> 00:03:40.954
So ask yourself, what victory is God already writing that I haven't seen yet?
00:03:41.254 --> 00:03:45.874
Can I thank him in the middle of the process, not just at the finish line?
00:03:46.434 --> 00:03:50.974
And who is watching my faith so they can find their own? Let's pray.
00:03:51.274 --> 00:03:55.334
Lord, thank you that every battle was training for triumph.
00:03:55.790 --> 00:04:00.110
You have never wasted a tear or a tusk.
00:04:00.310 --> 00:04:04.250
Remind me that victory belongs to those who stand in faith.
00:04:04.670 --> 00:04:09.330
Seal every lesson from this season with your peace. And when you bring me out,
00:04:09.490 --> 00:04:11.490
let the glory belong to you alone.
00:04:11.730 --> 00:04:13.570
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:04:14.090 --> 00:04:17.510
Decree, my steps are ordered. My seat is reserved.
00:04:17.810 --> 00:04:23.390
My victory is served. I'm walking in God's timing, protected by his plan and
00:04:23.390 --> 00:04:27.850
sustained by his grace. I am not defeated. I am developed.
00:04:28.390 --> 00:04:31.550
Victory isn't coming to you. It's coming through you.
00:04:31.750 --> 00:04:36.770
Every lesson, every loss, every late night prayer was a seed planted for harvest.
00:04:37.070 --> 00:04:40.550
And the Lord is saying today, you've been faithful in the fight.
00:04:40.850 --> 00:04:46.190
Now watch me finish the story. This has been the Diary of a Black Woman podcast
00:04:46.190 --> 00:04:48.110
with your host, Connie Morris.
00:04:48.330 --> 00:04:52.830
This series has encouraged you go back and listen again to every episode.
00:04:53.130 --> 00:04:57.570
Each one is a chapter in a bigger story of faith, favor, and victory.
00:04:57.790 --> 00:05:02.870
And remember, what God reserves, no one can replace.
00:05:03.230 --> 00:05:06.310
Amen. Thank you for listening to this episode.
00:05:06.490 --> 00:05:14.130
And before we close out, I want to speak a word of promise over you from Jeremiah 29, 11 through 14.
00:05:14.630 --> 00:05:19.930
Father God, you declared, I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper
00:05:19.930 --> 00:05:24.450
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
00:05:24.610 --> 00:05:27.010
So today we receive that truth.
00:05:27.290 --> 00:05:31.370
You said when we call on you, you will listen. So we pray.
00:05:31.550 --> 00:05:36.870
You said that when we seek you with our hearts, you will be found. So we pursue.
00:05:37.130 --> 00:05:42.830
You said you will restore us from captivity. So we declare freedom over every
00:05:42.830 --> 00:05:46.890
place where our listeners feel stuck, silenced, or small.
00:05:47.110 --> 00:05:52.930
Thank you for always drawing near when we show up in faith. In Jesus' name, amen.
00:00:12.633 --> 00:00:16.573
Welcome to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast with your host,
00:00:16.693 --> 00:00:21.413
Connie Morris, where healing has a voice and truth is no longer silent.
00:00:21.673 --> 00:00:26.333
Father God, like Jabez, we cry out that thou would bless us indeed.
00:00:26.913 --> 00:00:32.293
Bless every woman listening beyond trauma, beyond limits, beyond what she thought
00:00:32.293 --> 00:00:35.053
was possible. Enlarge her territory.
00:00:35.533 --> 00:00:39.273

to silence her. This isn't just a podcast.
00:00:49.213 --> 00:00:53.493
This is holy ground. In Jesus' name, amen.
00:00:53.913 --> 00:00:58.513
Welcome back to Diary of a Black Woman podcast, where we don't just survive
00:00:58.513 --> 00:01:01.033
life, we see God through it.
00:01:01.153 --> 00:01:05.593
I'm your host, Connie Morris, and today we close out the reserve assignment
00:01:05.593 --> 00:01:11.793
series with a truth that you can stand on, reserve for victory.
00:01:12.033 --> 00:01:17.393
Every battle, every delay, every door you thought was shut was God actually
00:01:17.393 --> 00:01:20.533
setting the stage for you to win.
00:01:20.773 --> 00:01:27.253
Psalms 37 verse 23 and 24 says, the Lord make firm the steps of the one who
00:01:27.253 --> 00:01:34.693
delights in him. Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
00:01:34.913 --> 00:01:39.833
That verse is proof that God doesn't just order your steps. He also catches
00:01:39.833 --> 00:01:41.473

00:01:41.833 --> 00:01:48.413
Victory isn't always about never falling. Sometimes it's about never staying down.
00:01:48.573 --> 00:01:52.533

And the victory you're about to see is proof of God's faithfulness.
00:02:30.574 --> 00:02:36.434

But hear me clearly, God never lets a faithful fighter lose.
00:03:03.734 --> 00:03:08.534
He waits until the noise dies down to reveal your...
00:03:08.534 --> 00:03:14.594
Think about Joseph, sold by his brothers, falsely accused, forgotten in prison,
00:03:15.014 --> 00:03:19.614
yet elevated to save nations. Think about Job, broken, betrayed,
00:03:19.934 --> 00:03:21.574
and still blessed with devil.
00:03:21.834 --> 00:03:27.174
Think about Jesus, crucified publicly, but resurrected powerfully.
00:03:27.414 --> 00:03:34.294
Every story of pain had a chapter called, and God restored, and yours will too.
00:03:34.494 --> 00:03:40.954
So ask yourself, what victory is God already writing that I haven't seen yet?
00:03:41.254 --> 00:03:45.874
Can I thank him in the middle of the process, not just at the finish line?
00:03:46.434 --> 00:03:50.974
And who is watching my faith so they can find their own? Let's pray.
00:03:51.274 --> 00:03:55.334
Lord, thank you that every battle was training for triumph.
00:03:55.790 --> 00:04:00.110
You have never wasted a tear or a tusk.
00:04:00.310 --> 00:04:04.250
Remind me that victory belongs to those who stand in faith.
00:04:04.670 --> 00:04:09.330
Seal every lesson from this season with your peace. And when you bring me out,
00:04:09.490 --> 00:04:11.490
let the glory belong to you alone.
00:04:11.730 --> 00:04:13.570
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:04:14.090 --> 00:04:17.510
Decree, my steps are ordered. My seat is reserved.
00:04:17.810 --> 00:04:23.390
My victory is served. I'm walking in God's timing, protected by his plan and
00:04:23.390 --> 00:04:27.850

00:04:28.390 --> 00:04:31.550
Victory isn't coming to you. It's coming through you.
00:04:31.750 --> 00:04:36.770
Every lesson, every loss, every late night prayer was a seed planted for harvest.
00:04:37.070 --> 00:04:40.550
And the Lord is saying today, you've been faithful in the fight.
00:04:40.850 --> 00:04:46.190
Now watch me finish the story. This has been the Diary of a Black Woman podcast
00:04:46.190 --> 00:04:48.110
with your host, Connie Morris.
00:04:48.330 --> 00:04:52.830
This series has encouraged you go back and listen again to every episode.
00:04:53.130 --> 00:04:57.570
Each one is a chapter in a bigger story of faith, favor, and victory.
00:04:57.790 --> 00:05:02.870
And remember, what God reserves, no one can replace.
00:05:03.230 --> 00:05:06.310
Amen. Thank you for listening to this episode.
00:05:06.490 --> 00:05:14.130
And before we close out, I want to speak a word of promise over you from Jeremiah 29, 11 through 14.
00:05:14.630 --> 00:05:19.930
Father God, you declared, I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper
00:05:19.930 --> 00:05:24.450
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
00:05:24.610 --> 00:05:27.010
So today we receive that truth.
00:05:27.290 --> 00:05:31.370
You said when we call on you, you will listen. So we pray.
00:05:31.550 --> 00:05:36.870
You said that when we seek you with our hearts, you will be found. So we pursue.
00:05:37.130 --> 00:05:42.830
You said you will restore us from captivity. So we declare freedom over every
00:05:42.830 --> 00:05:46.890
place where our listeners feel stuck, silenced, or small.
00:05:47.110 --> 00:05:52.930
Thank you for always drawing near when we show up in faith. In Jesus' name, amen.
