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.
00:00:21.653 --> 00:00:26.353
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.
00:00:39.573 --> 00:00:45.453
Saturate every word with oil and truth. break cycles, cancel every curse sent
00:00:45.453 --> 00:00:48.973
to silence her. This isn't just a podcast.
00:00:49.373 --> 00:00:53.493
This is holy ground. In Jesus' name, amen.
00:00:53.953 --> 00:01:00.173
Welcome back to Diary of a Black Woman podcast. We are on day 12 of the Walls
00:01:00.173 --> 00:01:06.013
Must Fall series, a 12-day Jericho fast of consecration and dedication.
00:01:06.613 --> 00:01:13.573
Today's title is live the promise, sustain obedience after the breakthrough.
00:01:13.833 --> 00:01:16.973
Our key scriptures are found in Joshua, of course.
00:01:17.153 --> 00:01:22.733
And the first one is Joshua 21, verse 45. And it reads, not all,
00:01:22.873 --> 00:01:27.013
not one of all the Lord's good promises of Israel fail.
00:01:27.213 --> 00:01:29.113
Everyone was fulfilled.
00:01:29.573 --> 00:01:36.533
Now that's good news to know that not one of the Lord's promises to Israel fell.
00:01:36.753 --> 00:01:42.813
Everyone was fulfilled. So that gives us already excitement because we know the end of the story.
00:01:43.033 --> 00:01:48.153
Let's go to Joshua 1.7. It says, Be careful to obey all the laws.
00:01:48.153 --> 00:01:56.013
Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.
00:01:56.073 --> 00:02:01.213
So we learn here that God says, Be careful to obey all the laws.
00:02:01.393 --> 00:02:05.553
Do not turn from it to the right or to the left.
00:02:05.633 --> 00:02:11.553
Just keep focused on my word and you'll be successful for wherever you go.
00:02:11.973 --> 00:02:15.093
The walls have fallen. The enemy has scattered.
00:02:15.373 --> 00:02:19.973
The fast is coming to a close, but your obedience must continue.
00:02:20.253 --> 00:02:26.073
This is where many fall off. They shout on day seven, rejoice on day eight,
00:02:26.193 --> 00:02:30.393
but by day 12, They slowly slip back into old patterns.
00:02:30.613 --> 00:02:37.573
But you, not you, you're not just fasting for a moment. You're fasting for a new lifestyle.
00:02:37.953 --> 00:02:44.933
God didn't bring you this far to go back. He's calling you to live the promise, not just taste it.
00:02:45.293 --> 00:02:50.953
Sustained breakthrough requires sustained alignment and sustained obedience.
00:02:51.313 --> 00:02:55.713
God wants you to walk in purpose and holiness in vision.
00:02:56.330 --> 00:03:00.910
The fast was your Jericho, but there are other lands to take,
00:03:01.070 --> 00:03:03.830
battles to win, and blessings to carry.
00:03:04.030 --> 00:03:06.090
This is just the beginning.
00:03:06.370 --> 00:03:14.170
Don't stop praying, don't stop consecrating, and don't stop dedicating. Live the promise.
00:03:14.530 --> 00:03:21.530
This is so encouraging because if you made it this far, I'm quite sure that
00:03:21.530 --> 00:03:26.730
God has already answered many of your prayers. You have seen some victory.
00:03:26.970 --> 00:03:30.450
Walls have fallen. The enemy is backing off of you.
00:03:30.890 --> 00:03:34.350
But you have to sustain your victory.
00:03:34.490 --> 00:03:38.670
We talked about that in the last episode. You have to occupy the land.
00:03:38.670 --> 00:03:40.950
You have to embrace your authority.
00:03:41.190 --> 00:03:43.030
You know you bad, you made it.
00:03:43.370 --> 00:03:49.490
And so don't stop what you've done. Have a way that if you can't do a 12-day fast.
00:03:49.970 --> 00:03:54.150
Find a way that you can maintain that consecration and dedication with God,
00:03:54.470 --> 00:03:58.930
putting him first, you know, so that you can live out the promises and all the
00:03:58.930 --> 00:04:01.410
things that he has for you. Let's pray.
00:04:01.650 --> 00:04:07.030
Lord, thank you for every wall that has fallen during these last 12 days.
00:04:07.030 --> 00:04:11.270
I don't just receive the promise. I commit to living it out.
00:04:11.490 --> 00:04:16.590
Give me wisdom to walk with you daily. make this fast produce lasting fruit
00:04:16.590 --> 00:04:20.310
in my life, some 30, some 60, some 100 fold.
00:04:20.490 --> 00:04:26.350
And I dedicate my step beyond this day, every step beyond this day to you.
00:04:26.470 --> 00:04:28.930
And I give you praise for it in Jesus name. Amen.
00:04:29.270 --> 00:04:34.070
Our decree, I decree that I live the promise. I will not return to bondage.
00:04:34.190 --> 00:04:37.170
I walk in freedom, authority, and divine purpose.
00:04:37.530 --> 00:04:42.170
My fast was not in vain. I am set apart, sealed by obedience,
00:04:42.170 --> 00:04:46.910
and led by the Spirit. I walk this out by faith.
00:04:47.070 --> 00:04:51.510
Galatians 5.1 reads, It is for the freedom that Christ has set us free.
00:04:51.750 --> 00:04:57.550
Stand firm then. And in one translation it says, Get free, stay free.
00:04:57.750 --> 00:05:04.970
I love that. Get free, stay free. So what is our final fasting focus for our day 12?
00:05:05.230 --> 00:05:12.730
So as you close this fast, you want to end it always in like a celebratory with gratitude. right?
00:05:13.190 --> 00:05:15.850
Counting each day is like a major breakthrough.
00:05:16.350 --> 00:05:19.950
Worship prayer and definitely you want to have a communion to seal it.
00:05:20.250 --> 00:05:24.410
To break the fast from food, make sure you follow the right protocols.
00:05:24.770 --> 00:05:28.150
So do it gradually and prayerfully. So don't, if you did a hard,
00:05:28.370 --> 00:05:32.710
whatever you did, make sure you follow the right protocol. Don't suddenly start eating.
00:05:33.383 --> 00:05:38.563
You know, meet after you had nothing but water. But if you did any other way,
00:05:38.723 --> 00:05:40.743
you know, follow protocol, use wisdom.
00:05:41.103 --> 00:05:44.103
And after this, why don't you consider like something regular,
00:05:44.243 --> 00:05:49.283
like a fasting, a regular weekly or monthly to remain in the state of consecration.
00:05:49.683 --> 00:05:55.223
Remember I told you, it's not about the food. It's about the intimacy with God.
00:05:55.563 --> 00:06:01.383
This is not the end of your spiritual journey. This is just the beginning. Amen.
00:06:01.923 --> 00:06:05.683
What are you writing your journal? I would actually go back through my journal
00:06:05.683 --> 00:06:10.003
today and I would just read all the notes that I read, all the notes,
00:06:10.003 --> 00:06:14.323
what I wrote and see what God is doing over the last 12 days.
00:06:14.483 --> 00:06:16.603
That would be just the best thing you can do.
00:06:17.023 --> 00:06:20.603
And then I will go back through the series, this 12 day series,
00:06:20.783 --> 00:06:25.283
and find out which one of those that I kind of brush through that I need to
00:06:25.283 --> 00:06:26.843
go back and listen to again.
00:06:27.083 --> 00:06:31.743
So go back and listen to The Walls Must Fall, like pick one that you said,
00:06:31.823 --> 00:06:35.003
dang, that was a hard one. I need to go listen to that one again.
00:06:35.263 --> 00:06:37.743
And then follow the journal prompts in that one.
00:06:40.063 --> 00:06:46.503
Remember this relationship with God, it's always a consecration and dedication. It never stops.
00:06:46.903 --> 00:06:51.643
And then finally, What commitments will I continue to keep so I remain aligned
00:06:51.643 --> 00:06:54.203
with life of obedience and promises?
00:06:54.483 --> 00:06:58.263
You've already set up some ways that you want to do.
00:06:58.643 --> 00:07:03.943
Try to continue the way that you have been. What did you do differently?
00:07:04.323 --> 00:07:07.383
Where did you fall off? Don't be hard on yourself.
00:07:07.703 --> 00:07:11.763
Find a way to get, find a way that, this is a relationship, right?
00:07:11.923 --> 00:07:14.883
And our relationship comes with little ups, downs, and all arounds.
00:07:14.883 --> 00:07:17.943
So don't beat yourself up. Say, hey, I messed up on day six.
00:07:18.083 --> 00:07:24.443
What was day six? What did we learn on day six? I go back, day six, I can pull up the day six.
00:07:24.583 --> 00:07:27.863
It says endure the process. Oh my gosh, that was a hard one for me.
00:07:28.003 --> 00:07:33.523
And so go back and just listen to that again and find out where did I fall off
00:07:33.523 --> 00:07:38.543
on endure the process or any other of the walls must fall series, right?
00:07:38.643 --> 00:07:41.903
Any of those days that was a hard one, you know?
00:07:42.043 --> 00:07:44.583
And maybe start all over from the beginning and do it again.
00:07:44.883 --> 00:07:49.083
You know, that's really up to you. Your relationship with God is your relationship with God.
00:07:49.263 --> 00:07:54.843
There's nothing that you have to compare or contrast with anybody else.
00:07:55.023 --> 00:07:59.963
And I guarantee you that it's always changing. It's always evolving because
00:07:59.963 --> 00:08:07.043
our hearts, if we continue to want to obey, not want to obey, continue to obey God.
00:08:07.483 --> 00:08:12.203
To follow his whispers and to just shout before the walls fall down,
00:08:12.203 --> 00:08:16.103
Burn bridges, renew our covenant, and just stay fresh before God.
00:08:16.243 --> 00:08:19.403
I guarantee you, it's all going to be good.
00:08:20.141 --> 00:08:25.481
It's all going to be good. I do have a couple more episodes with some finalizing episodes.
00:08:25.601 --> 00:08:30.321
That's going to include some decrees and just a final charge to get you,
00:08:30.481 --> 00:08:37.341
send you off on this fast of consecration, dedication with power and with focus.
00:08:37.341 --> 00:08:42.301
But I wanted to make this last episode short so that you can spend some time
00:08:42.301 --> 00:08:47.921
just sitting in God's presence and just thanking him for like you made it.
00:08:47.921 --> 00:08:50.621
You made it through the 12-day fast.
00:08:50.941 --> 00:08:52.841
You made it through consecration dedication.
00:08:53.561 --> 00:08:56.841
And I guarantee your life will not be the same.
00:08:57.081 --> 00:09:02.301
So I'll see you at the final charge at the next episode. Goodbye.
00:09:02.641 --> 00:09:06.741
Thank you for listening to this episode. And before we close out,
00:09:06.901 --> 00:09:12.921
I want to speak a word of promise over you from Jeremiah 29, 11 through 14.
00:09:13.361 --> 00:09:18.761
Father God, you declared, I know the plans I have for you. plans to prosper
00:09:18.761 --> 00:09:23.281
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
00:09:23.481 --> 00:09:25.861
So today we receive that truth.
00:09:26.081 --> 00:09:30.201
You said when we call on you, you will listen. So we pray.
00:09:30.401 --> 00:09:34.461
You said that when we seek you with our hearts, you will be found.
00:09:34.741 --> 00:09:39.001
So we pursue. You said you will restore us from captivity.
00:09:39.181 --> 00:09:45.661
So we declare freedom over every place where our listeners feel stuck, silenced, or small.
00:09:45.921 --> 00:09:51.761
Thank you for always drawing near when we show up in faith. In Jesus' name, amen.
00:09:52.560 --> 00:10:02.253
Music.
