Baby, I’m Fine...I Just Learned Something New
Baby, I’m fine. Okay?
Now that I am fully walking in and aware that I am an apostolic healer and teacher, I understand something very clearly:
I can be sent to heal and teach at any given moment.
What was introduced to me as “going over a friend’s house to watch fireworks” turned into two solid hours of healing and teaching (administering strategies, releasing understanding, and helping someone gain clarity and restoration).
And let me be clear:
I’m not complaining. Not about the time. Not about the call.
It was a double-edged experience.
On one edge, I poured out.
On the other, God poured back into me by revealing the population of people He actually created me for.
That night gave me:
Confirmation of why He chose me
Understanding of my assignment
And a revelation I didn’t expect…
More people have my story than I realized.
More people carry pieces of what I’ve walked through than I ever imagined.
And I was created to help them transform that story into a testimony of healing and faith.
That part? I’m clear on.
The Wake Up Call
But here’s the part that checked me.
I woke up the next day depleted.
Not tired...Not sleepy...Depleted.
And that depletion made me aware of something I could no longer ignore:
👉 My spiritual stamina is ahead of my physical stamina.
As I’ve been building The Doctoral Collective—developing curriculum, constructing reflecting prompts and spiritual journeys, stewarding vision, etc.—I noticed a pattern.
On days when I worked heavily on the business and the Collective’s resources...I’d wake up the next day fatigued.
But this time? Baby… I was fried, died, and laid to the side... and I’m still rebounding.
And that’s when God made it plain.
Revelation: The Spirit Needs a Body That Can Carry It...The work is more intense now.
Not because God changed...but because I know now.
I’m confirmed.
I’m approved.
I’m chosen.
And awareness increases weight.
When I was doing spiritual work before, it was real...but it wasn’t this concentrated.
Now... the oil is heavier.
And God reminded me:
Even when you pour from overflow, if your body doesn’t have the stamina to wield the Spirit, you will still experience fatigue.
Because listen…
“I work a couple of hours and then I’m down for 48 hours” cannot be the pattern.
The harvest is plentiful.
The laborers are few.
And I refuse to be down more than I am up and available for use.
If I can’t get to the gym?
I’ll work out at home.
But movement is no longer optional.
Strength is part of stewardship.
And my body must be fit for the Master’s use.
An Invitation
If you find yourself:
Spiritually called but physically drained
Anointed but exhausted
Carrying vision without stamina to sustain it
You’re not broken.
You’re being invited into alignment.
If you want insight on how to prepare your body, mind, and spirit for Kingdom work...or if you feel called to build, lead, and heal as part of the Body of Christ...I encourage you to explore our plans and book a discovery call.
Let’s walk this walk together.
But for right now?
I’m putting this hair in a protective style because working out is officially part of my daily routine.
In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen again!
