Close the Books: Living the Love That Keeps No Record

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 11:29:26 +0000

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Corinthians 13:4–7) Some of us are carrying ledgers we were never meant to keep. We remember the exact words spoken in anger, the date the promise was broken, the moment we were overlooked. We file every offense away, ready to pull Read More

Proximity Is Not Purpose: Lessons from the Last Supper

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 21:28:54 +0000

At the Last Supper, Jesus said something that still unsettled me: “It is the one to whom I am going to give this piece [of bread] after I have dipped it.” So when He had dipped the piece of bread [into the dish], He gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.” (John 13:26). Think about that. Jesus — the Bread of Life Himself — dipped bread with the very man who would betray Him within hours. Proximity to Jesus did not change Judas’s heart. Access to the anointing is not the same as agreement with the assignment. That’s the Read More

Who Are You?: Knowing and Understanding Your Identity

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 11:51:18 +0000

Have you ever stopped to ask why you love what you love? Why certain people draw near to your spirit while others never quite fit? Why your mind moves toward the things it moves toward? These are not random details of your personality. They are threads God wove into you before you ever drew breath. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you [and approved of you as My chosen instrument], And before you were born I consecrated you [to Myself as My own]; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5) God did Read More

The Calendar Test: Appointments With God

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 11:28:27 +0000

We keep careful track of our appointments. The doctor, the dentist, the lawyer, the professor’s office hours, we write them on the calendar, set a reminder, and show up, often ten minutes early with our paperwork in hand. We wouldn’t dream of not showing up for the dentist. We’d never casually skip a meeting with our attorney. These appointments matter to us, so we honor them. But what about our appointments with God? Do we even make them? Is there a set time when we say, “This hour belongs to my Father”? And if we do make that appointment, are Read More

From Tolerance to Territory: Reclaiming Your Dominion

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 11:32:46 +0000

There is a dangerous comfort in tolerance. Somewhere along the way, many believers traded dominion for coexistence. We learned to live beside the very things God commanded us to rule over including sickness, fear, poverty, addiction, confusion, generational strongholds and we called our endurance “patience” or “long-suffering.” But tolerance and dominion are not the same spirit. One waits the enemy out. The other casts him out. In the beginning, God’s first command to man was not “endure the earth” but “have dominion” (Genesis 1:26). Dominion was the original assignment. It was never God’s design for His children to simply survive Read More

Rename Your Season

“Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].” — Hebrews 11:1 People, it’s time to start renaming your seasons. I heard the Lord say: “Just because you do not see it in the natural, does not mean I have not already provided it. Just because you see emptiness, does not mean I have not already filled those empty places. I can supernaturally fill any space as easily as I can provide Read More
