Hi, my name is Stephanie. When I was about five years old, I was taught in Sunday school that Jesus loves me….and I believed Him! I knew from that moment on that He lived in me, but for most of my life I was a lukewarm Christian. I attended church every Sunday. The same message was on repeat at the few churches we attended – make sure you say the prayer in order to go to heaven and try to live like Jesus. I lived my life trying to do what I thought was best and asking the Lord to guide me and bless my decisions. 

In 2020, the Lord radically woke me up. He placed an urgency on my heart that He couldn’t only be my Savior but He needed to be Lord of my life. I resubmitted my life to the Lord and invited Him to be Lord of my life. Shortly after, He told me to learn about the Holy Spirit. The churches I had attended up to this point were cessationist churches and the Holy Spirit was barely mentioned. The Holy Spirit was a stranger to me, I didn’t know Him and I didn’t understand Him, except that He is part of the trinity. The Lord led me to read books about the Holy Spirit and I studied Acts with an intention to know the Holy Spirit. Since 2020, my life has completely changed! I am not the same person I was. Praise God. He has been teaching me to hear His voice, to obey Him and to step out in faith. I have one goal now – to live a Holy Spirit led life. 

As He has been transforming me, I have journaled what He speaks to me. When I write, I feel the most surrendered to the Lord. His presence consumes me as words pour out. The secret place is a sacred place to me. I don’t normally share much of what I’ve written because it feels too vulnerable to share that intimacy. To me, it’s similar to sharing about the intimate details of my marriage. However, the Lord has told me that it is time to start sharing some of the revelations that He has given me. So this blog is my obedience to Him. 

I pray for each person whose eyes would land on this webpage. I pray for His presence to consume you as you read. I pray that the words would encourage you, strengthen you and comfort you. I pray for a fresh fire to ignite a hunger and desire for Him. He is worthy of it all, I give Him all the honor and praise. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
