In this episode of Seed in the Closet, I talk about the lies we inherit, the unbelief we absorb, and the subtle belief in “fairness” that God had to uproot in my own heart.

The problem isn’t the seed.
It’s the soil.

Life be life’n.

And yet, in the middle of all of it, God remains constant.

This season on Seed in the Closet, we’ve been digging into inheritance—what it means to belong to God and to live from what He has already given us. We are the inheritance of God, and He is our inheritance. Not something reserved for later, but something we walk in every day.

In this episode, we sit with two powerful truths:

• Life moves in cycles—what has been will be again.

• God is never bound by cycles—He is always doing something new.

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10

9 What has been is what will be,

and what has been done is what will be done;

there is nothing new under the sun.

10 Is there a thing of which it is said,

‘See, this is new’?

It has already been,

in the ages before us.

Ecclesiastes reminds us that life follows familiar rhythms. Isaiah reminds us that God makes ways where none exist. Streams in wastelands. Highways in wilderness places. Provision in places that look empty.

The challenge for us is not whether God is working—but whether we can perceive it.

Isaiah 43: 18-19—

8 Do not remember the former things,

or consider the things of old.

19 I am about to do a new thing;

now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?

God tells us not to dwell on what He has already brought us out of. Not because it didn’t matter—but because it was meant to reveal who He is. Now that we know He is God, the invitation is to look ahead, to be alert, to be present, and to live from the inheritance we’ve been given.

As we move into the second half of the season, we’ll be taking a short break and returning in late January with new episodes, videos, and guest conversations that will expand and deepen what we’ve been learning together.

Until then, listen with awareness.
Be mindful of the larger picture.
And remember—while life be life’n, God be God’n.

In Isaiah 11:1–2, the prophet speaks of a shoot coming from the stump of Jesse—a prophetic declaration pointing directly to Jesus Christ. From His roots, a Branch would bear fruit. This is not only a revelation of who Jesus is, but an invitation to understand who we are.

Jesus later affirms this connection when He tells us that He is the vine and we are the branches. If we remain in Him, we bear much fruit. The same life flowing through the vine flows into the branches.

Isaiah continues by describing what rests upon Him:
the Spirit of the Lord—
wisdom and understanding,
counsel and might,
knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

Then Jesus declares something staggering in

John 3:35: “The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.”

And again in

John 16:15: “All that the Father has is mine… and He will take what is mine and declare it to you.”

That declaration changes everything.

If Jesus has access to everything the Father has—and He has declared it to us—then what Jesus has, we have inherited.

This means our lives are not meant to be shaped by lack, scarcity, or self-reliance. We no longer live from limited resources or human wisdom. Before Christ, we determined good and evil by our own standards. We lived according to the world, society, and self—drawing from a well that could never fully sustain us.

But in Christ, we receive something different.

We inherit God’s wisdom—not ours.
God’s understanding—not ours.
God’s counsel—not ours.
God’s might—not ours.
God’s knowledge—not ours.

And with that inheritance comes reverence—holy awe for the Creator who provides everything we need.

Even when it doesn’t look like abundance, it is. Because abundance is not about excess—it’s about never running out. God’s provision reaches you and those connected to you, just as He provided for both Jesus and Peter when the need arose.

Scripture tells us to seek wisdom, and for a long time many of us believed that meant seeking people. But wisdom has a source—and it is God Himself. People may be vessels, but God is the well. When we seek Him first, He directs us to the right counsel at the right time.

This Week’s Challenge

Live from what you have inherited.

Rely on God’s unlimited wisdom
God’s unlimited understanding
God’s unlimited counsel
God’s unlimited might
God’s unlimited knowledge

Fear God.
Reverence the Creator.
Trust that you are never without—because He has already provided.

When we know who we are and whose we are, we stop striving and start abiding.
And from that place, fruit is inevitable.

I sat down to prepare what I thought would be my next message—confident I already had the direction. But as I worked through it, something didn’t sit right. It sounded familiar… like someone else’s voice. And that pause—that discomfort—became the invitation.

God gently redirected me and said, “Talk about this process.”

The process of waiting.

The process of sitting still.

The process of learning to discern His voice from our own thoughts, emotions, and the noise around us.

So many of us want to hear from God, but we don’t often talk about that process. Before the voice comes the silence. Before clarity comes surrender. And before direction comes intimacy.

This episode is a continuation of our conversation about Abba Father—because children who know their Father learn to recognize His voice.

We reflect on the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19.

The lesson is simple, but not easy:

It’s possible to study Scripture and still miss God if we don’t know His heart. The Pharisees knew the Word, but they missed the Messiah. In the same way, we can anticipate Christ’s return and still struggle to recognize His voice if we haven’t learned to sit with Him.

Sometimes there is movement.

Sometimes there is silence.

But in both, God is present.

Reflection Questions:

• Where do I struggle to sit still before God?

• How often do my thoughts speak louder than His whisper?

• Have I confused familiarity with intimacy?

• Am I studying Scripture to know facts… or to know Him?

Affirmation:

I quiet my mind. I yield my thoughts. And I wait for the whisper of God.

Thank you for continuing this journey with me. If this message spoke to you, I invite you to subscribe, share it with someone who may need it, and take time this week to simply sit with God—without an agenda.

The conversation is worth it.

She prayed anywhere — and I share a memory of listening to her pray, from her heart to God’s ears. That moment captures the essence of who she was.

In today’s episode, we reflect on:

• A holy woman’s prayer life

• The seeds she planted through decades of intercession

• The strength she carried and the strength she gave

• The truth that her presence is still with us

• How her faith continues to form and shape our lives

This is both a tribute and a testimony.
A reminder that the faith of one woman can cover generations.

Thank you for listening, sharing, and praying with me during this time.

Proverbs 31:10-31

10 A wife of noble character who can find?

She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her

and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,

all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax

and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,

bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still night;

she provides food for her family

and portions for her female servants.

16 She considers a field and buys it;

out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;

her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,

and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff

and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor

and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;

for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;

she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,

where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,

and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;

she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,

and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;

her husband also, and he praises her:

29 “Many women do noble things,

but you surpass them all.”

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;

but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,

and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

A lot of believers confidently say,
“I am a child of God.”

But very few relate to Him as Abba —
the Father who is present, intimate, consistent, and deeply involved.

And because of how life has shaped us, many relate to God through three distorted lenses:

1. The Illegitimate Child Mindset

An illegitimate child may know who their father is…
but they don’t know his character.
They don’t know his heart, his ways, or his nature.

Many believers live the same way:

• Claiming God but not spending time with Him

• Knowing His name but not knowing His voice

• Hearing about Him second-hand

• Never receiving instruction, wisdom, or inheritance

God is not distant — but our experience of Him often is.

2. The Divorced Child Mindset

Some believers approach God like weekend visitation:

• I’ll see You on Sunday

• I’ll pray when things are bad

• I’ll show up for Christmas, Mother’s Day, and Easter
  (the classic CME Christian)

But it’s the daily instructions of the Father that shape identity and maturity.

Daily fellowship is what establishes the joy, peace, patience, and long-suffering needed to live in our inheritance.

3. The Abandoned Child Mindset

Others once walked closely with God, but now feel disconnected. They no longer hear His affirmations, receive His instruction, or experience His presence. Not because God left, but because they drifted.

He promised:
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

THE TRUTH

Let this settle in your spirit:

• God has no illegitimate children.

• God is not a part-time Father—He is ever-present.

• God has not abandoned His children.

God is ABBA Father.

And He has adopted us as full sons and daughters with full access and full inheritance.

SCRIPTURES TO ANCHOR THIS TRUTH

Ephesians 1:5 (NIV)
“He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.”

1 John 3:1–2 (NIV)
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!
And that is what we are!”

Galatians 4:4–7 (NIV)
“…God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, ‘Abba, Father.’”

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

• Which mindset have I been relating to God from?
  Illegitimate? Divorced? Abandoned?

• Do I know God’s character—or just His name?

• Have I allowed God daily access to my life?

Take a moment and let the Holy Spirit speak.

AFFIRMATION

I am a child of God.
I am fully loved.
I am fully adopted.

God is my Abba Father.
He is ever-present.
I have full access and full inheritance.

I am God’s beloved child,
and I receive Him as Abba—today and every day.”

PRAYER

Father, thank You for adopting us with joy and intention.
Break every orphan mindset.
Heal every place shaped by earthly father wounds.
Draw us into daily closeness with You.
Teach us Your heart and Your ways.
We receive You fully, completely, and confidently as Abba Father.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Jeremiah 33:3 (NLV) ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you. And I will show you great and wonderful things which you do not know.’

There are moments in our walk with God when He whispers something so simple—but so profound—that it changes the way we approach Him.
Recently, in a quiet moment, the Lord impressed something on my heart:

“I want a direct connection with each one of My children.”

Not secondhand revelation.
Not borrowed faith.
Not mediated conversations.

A direct line.
A clear connection.
A daily relationship.

This devotional explores that epiphany and the invitation God extends to every believer:
Come to Me. Hear from Me. Sit with Me.

🌱 The Danger of Secondhand Spirituality

We live in a world saturated with Christian voices—sermons, books, reels, clips, devotionals, and constant encouragement.
All of these are beautiful gifts… but they are not the Source.

It’s possible to be full of spiritual information
and still starving for divine revelation.

Books can supplement your walk.
Messages can support it.
Teachers can guide it.

But only God can anchor it.

He never intended for you to have a relationship through someone else.

🌱 Even Seed in the Closet is an Appetizer — Not the Meal

This podcast and devotional are designed to refresh and reaffirm your faith.
But here’s the truth:

Seed in the Closet is just a foretaste.
It’s the appetizer.
The weekly nudge that points you toward a daily, personal conversation with God.

What you hear from me is meant to awaken what God wants to say to you Himself.

I’m not your mediator.
I’m not your translator.
I’m not your spiritual go-between.

I’m simply here to stir your appetite
for the One who wants to speak to your heart directly.

🌱 Christ Removed Every Barrier

In the Old Testament, access to God was limited.
Priests mediated.
Prophets relayed.
People approached God through someone else.

But when Jesus died, the veil was torn from top to bottom.

The separation was removed.
The distance was closed.
Access was restored.

Through Christ, you inherited:

• Direct access
• Direct communication
• Direct revelation
• Direct relationship
• Direct fellowship

This is your spiritual inheritance.

🌱 Yes, Prophets Still Exist — But…

Scripture tells us God still uses the office of prophet and the gift of prophecy to edify, encourage, and strengthen the body.

But prophets cannot replace your personal relationship with God.
What the Holy Spirit wants to speak about your decisions, your healing, your identity, your purpose—
He wants to speak to you directly.

🌱 The Real Question: Are We Listening?

Many believers have mastered talking to God—praying, asking, crying out.

But listening?
Stillness?
Quieting the noise long enough to hear?

That’s the part we often neglect.

Prayer becomes a monologue…
But with meditation, we can have authentic dialogue.

🌱 Try the 5-Minute Encounter

Here’s a simple daily practice to open your heart to God’s voice:

1 minute — Sit in silence.
1 minute — Ask: “Lord, what do You want me to know today?”
1 minute — Listen.
1 minute — Write what you hear (it should align with Scripture).
1 minute — Thank Him.

Do this for one week.
Watch how God meets you.

🌱 Reflection

• Am I living on borrowed revelation?
• Do I listen to God as much as I talk to Him?
• Have I relied on others to tell me what God is saying?
• What would my walk look like if I made space to hear from Him truly?

God is speaking.
Not just to the masses—
but to you.

We can study our hands, our feet, our whole body—but without a mirror, our face remains unseen. That truth led me to think about how God sees us. We were created in His image, designed to reflect His nature, His love, and His glory. Yet sin distorted that image. The reflection became blurred.

James 1:21-27 reminds us that God’s Word is the mirror of our souls. It reveals what’s out of alignment and invites us to obey, not just observe. When we walk away unchanged, we forget who we are in Him. Every time we surrender, forgive, or walk in obedience, The Holy Spirit polishes the mirror of our hearts until the Father’s reflection shines through.

Reflection Prompt

When God looks at you, what does He see?
Are you a clear reflection—or has life’s dust, distraction, or disobedience blurred His image?

Could you take a moment to sit with His Word today?
Could you let Him show you where the reflection needs restoring?

Affirmation

I hear God’s Word and turn to Him.
I turn away from sin.
Holy Spirit, polish the mirror of my heart.
So the Father sees Himself clearly in me.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for being the image I was created to reflect.
Forgive me for the times I’ve distorted who You are through disobedience or distraction.
Realign my heart to Your Spirit—
and help me live as a clear reflection of Your truth, Your love, and Your light.
When You look at me, Father, let You see You.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

The butterfly emerged easily—but its body was swollen, and its wings were weak.
What the man didn’t realize was that the struggle wasn’t punishment—it was preparation.
The pressure of the cocoon was part of the design; it was what pushed the fluid into the butterfly’s wings. Without it, the butterfly could never fly.

Romans 8 opens with this declaration:

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” — Romans 8:1

No one can condemn you—not people, not the enemy, and not even yourself.
Jesus became our atonement—our sin offering—so that the Holy Spirit could live freely in us.
And if the Spirit of God lives in you, then you belong to Christ.

But that transformation process is not without pain.
It means losing relationships that keep you bound to old patterns.
It means choosing righteousness when others choose comfort.
It means dying to the misdeeds of the body—envy, pride, lust, gossip, anger, greed, bitterness, and selfish ambition.

When we try to make the process easier—when we widen the hole, so to speak—we interrupt what God is trying to develop in us.

And as I shared in this week’s episode, a good intention outside of divine alignment becomes disobedience or distortion.

So if you find yourself in a season of pressure—tight spaces, closed doors, or delayed timing—don’t fight it.
God is developing your wings.
The cocoon isn’t confinement—it’s construction.
It’s where you learn that the pain of the process can’t compare to the power of the transformation.

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” — Romans 8:18

🦋 Reflection:

Where might you be trying to “help” your own process—avoiding discomfort instead of allowing God to strengthen you through it?

💬 Affirmation:

“I am not being confined; I am being transformed.
The Spirit of God is renewing my mind,
reshaping my identity,
and preparing me to soar.”

🙏🏽 Prayer:

Father, thank You for the cocoon.
Thank You for designing transformation through pressure, process, and purpose.
Forgive us for the times we’ve resisted what You were using to strengthen us.
Teach us to walk by the Spirit—to trust that what feels restrictive is actually refining.
Help us to see our lives through Your lens, not through the world’s expectations.
Let every reader and listener emerge from their cocoon with renewed wings—ready to rise in freedom, confidence, and faith.
In Jesus’ name—Amen.

This week on Seed in the Closet, I want to talk about healing that ache—not by revisiting what’s broken, but by reintroducing you to the One who’s whole.

🌿 The Perfect Parent

From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals Himself as the perfect balance of Father and Mother.
He covers us like a Father—protecting, guiding, and establishing.
He comforts us like a Mother—nurturing, soothing, and sustaining.

He isn’t half of anything. He’s whole.
And when we know Him that way, we begin to live from a place of completeness.

💔 Healing the Wounds

Some of us grew up without a father’s voice to affirm us.
Some of us grew up without a mother’s arms to hold us.

But Scripture reminds us:

“I am a Father to the fatherless.” — Psalm 68:5
“As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.” — Isaiah 66:13

God meets every emotional and spiritual deficit.
His love doesn’t just reach the places that hurt—He heals and restores what was missing.

🪞 Identity in His Image

You were created in His image—male and female, strength and softness, justice and gentleness.
Your reflection is complete in Him.
Knowing Him fully allows you to see yourself clearly.

💭 Reflect + Reimagine

This week, God invites you to reimagine how you talk with Him.
When you are praying keep yout thoughts here:

“Lord, thank You for being my Father and covering me.
Thank You for being my Mother and comforting me.”

Key Scripture (AMP)

“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith.
And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love…
[come] to know the love of Christ which far surpasses mere knowledge…
that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.” — Ephesians 3:17–19 AMP

💚 Affirmation

I am not fatherless or forgotten.
I am not motherless or missed.
I am fully loved by God—the One who formed me.
I am covered. I am comforted. I am His.

🙏🏽 Prayer

Lord God, thank You for being the perfect Parent—for covering me when I needed protection and comforting me when I needed care. Heal every wound that came from misunderstanding love. Teach me to see You clearly—not through the eyes of my pain,
but through the truth of Your perfection. Let me rest in Your embrace and walk in the confidence of being fully known, fully loved, and fully Yours.
In Jesus name, Amen.

But Romans 8 reminds us—nothing can separate us from His love. Not fear, not failure, not our past, not our pain.
Our identity is secured because it’s anchored in the One who never changes.

In this week’s episode of Seed in the Closet, we explore what it means to live from that truth.
We are secured because:
1️⃣ Nothing can separate us from God’s love.
2️⃣ God is for us.
3️⃣ The Spirit intercedes for us.
4️⃣ God designed our lives with purpose and intention.

When storms rise, we can stand firm knowing our anchor holds.
Like a ship that doesn’t drift away, our souls remain steady—tethered to divine love.

Reflection Prompt:
Where have you doubted your security in God’s love?
What would it look like to rest in the truth that your identity is already sealed in Christ?

Call to Action:
This week, practice confident patience.
When worry comes, declare: “Nothing can separate me from His love.”
Then note where you see God showing up to secure your peace, purpose, or provision.

Affirmation

I am loved.
I am secure.
I am anchored in Christ.

We’ve talked about setting foundations through the Word, understanding the Holy Spirit’s work, and renewing our minds daily. Now we see how those truths unite: the Spirit renews, we respond, and transformation becomes our lifestyle.

Philippians reminds us to have the mind of Christ. Romans shows that a mind governed by the Spirit brings life and peace. Colossians and Ephesians call us to put off and put on—daily choosing thoughts, habits, and attitudes that reflect Heaven.

Discipleship isn’t about striving; it’s about reinforcing what we’ve received.

📖 Scripture Focus

• Philippians 2 – The Mind of Christ

• 1 Corinthians 2 – The Spirit’s Teaching and Discernment

• 2 Corinthians 5 – New Creations and Reconciliation

• John 14 – The Holy Spirit as Teacher and Reminder

• Romans 8 – Life Governed by the Spirit

• 1 Peter 2 – Taking Off and Growing Up

• Ephesians 4–5 – Putting Off the Old, Putting On the New

• Colossians 3 – Clothed in New Life

• 2 Peter 1 – Growth, Maturity, and Remembrance

✨ Practical Application

1. Pause daily for renewal. Before your day begins, invite the Holy Spirit to govern your mind. Ask, “What do You want to teach me today?”

2. Practice replacement. Each time you notice a worldly thought, replace it with a truth from Scripture. (Example: “I’m not enough” → “I am complete in Christ.”)

3. Reinforce through repetition. Choose one virtue from 2 Peter 1—faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, affection, or love—and practice it intentionally this week. Ask the Holy Spirit to make that virtue alive in you.

4. Reflect in humility. End your day by asking, “Where did I reflect the mind of Christ today? Where do I need more renewal tomorrow?”

5. Yield to the Holy Spirit. Listen for the still voice as He guides you and follow Him.

6. Remember your security. Your growth doesn’t change God’s love for you—it flows from it.

What you practice repeatedly becomes natural.
What becomes natural establishes your behavior.
Your behavior shapes your character.

When your identity is rooted in Christ, your renewal becomes your rhythm.

✨ Transformity: Because what’s in you is greater than what’s around you.

How do we retrain our thinking and live in the freedom of who God says we are? In this episode, Macretia and Veronica dive deep into what it truly means to renew your mind daily.

They unpack the balance between the Holy Spirit’s power and our personal responsibility—putting off the old self and putting on the new. Through real-life stories, laughter, and heartfelt truth, they explore how prayer, worship, Scripture meditation, journaling, and fellowship help reshape our thoughts and strengthen our identity in Christ.

💬 Key Conversation Highlights:

The daily process of mind renewal through God’s Word.

Understanding God’s perfect vs. permissive will.

Why Scripture memorization and journaling matter.

The power of fellowship and mutual encouragement.

How prayer and worship literally “rewire” the brain toward peace and purpose.

✨ Affirmation:

“I am renewed daily by God’s Word. I put off the old and put on the new. My thoughts are aligned with my identity in Christ.”

🕊️ Transformity: Because what’s in you is greater than what’s around you.

Listener Question:

“How do we truly understand Christ if His ways aren’t our ways and His thoughts aren’t our thoughts?”

Foundation

Isaiah 55 isn’t a sentence to never think like God—it’s a call to turn from unrighteous thoughts and ways. Post-Cross, the Holy Spirit empowers us to think God’s thoughts, walk in His ways, and live out our identity as His beloved heirs.

Highlights

Isaiah 55 in context: Seek, turn, receive mercy.

Spirit-renewed mind: The Spirit and the Word align us with God’s heart.

Real-life application: When attacked or misunderstood, the Spirit leads—sometimes to speak, often to be still.

Failure ≠ finished: “A righteous person falls seven times and rises again.”

Ask in faith: God delights to answer seekers (James 1).

Scriptures Mentioned

Isaiah 55; Isaiah 64:4 →1 Cor. 2:9; Romans 8:5–7; John 14:26; John 15; Ezekiel 36:22–28; Jeremiah 29:11; James 1:5–8; Psalm 42:1

Try This

• Word habit: Pray before reading—“Holy Spirit, renew my mind.”

• Pause & ask: “Spirit, is this a time to speak or be still?”

• Truth swap: Replace lies with Scripture.

• Wise counsel: Invite a trusted friend to check blind spots.

• Journal: Where did I notice the Spirit nudging today?

Affirmation

“I am God’s beloved. By the Spirit and the Word, my mind is being renewed to align with God’s thoughts and His ways.”

Prayer

“Father, thank You for mercy and for the gift of Your Spirit. Renew our minds, align our desires with Yours, and teach us to trust You over our feelings. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Too often, the world tries to define who we are by our past, our appearance, or our struggles. But the Word of God tells us a greater truth:

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5).

“We have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16).

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

In this episode, Veronica and I share stories, insights, and scriptures that remind us we’re not striving to become someone new — we’re learning to live out who God already designed us to be.

✨ This is Part 1 of a 4-part series:

• Part 1: Setting the Foundation

• Part 2: The Work of the Holy Spirit (coming next week)

• Part 3: Renewing Our Minds Daily

• Part 4: Our Identity Is Secure

This episode is Part 1: Setting the Foundation. Wherever you are in your walk, I pray this conversation encourages you to embrace your God-given identity and trust the Holy Spirit to reshape your thinking.

Affirmation:

“I have the mind of Christ. I am a new creation. The Holy Spirit renews my thinking daily.”
