God’s Plan: Consult Before You Commit

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 11:19:18 +0000

The Condition We Skip “And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us.” — 1 John 5:14 We love to quote this verse. We claim the confidence, the boldness, and the promise that God hears us. But too often we rush past four words that hold the whole verse together: according to His will. God Is Not Obligated to Your Plans Here is the pattern Read More

Proximity Is Not Purpose: Lessons from the Last Supper

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

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

See It, Write It, Build It: The Power of God-Given Vision

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 12:01:01 +0000

Every great building begins as a blueprint. Long before a single brick is laid, an architect puts pen to paper and gives shape to something that doesn’t yet exist. Vision works the same way in the life of a believer. Vision is God’s blueprint in word form, a written, spoken, or impressed plan that gives shape to what He intends to build through us before it ever takes physical form. The prophet Habakkuk understood this principle when God told him, “Then the Lord answered me and said, ‘Write the vision and engrave it plainly on [clay] tablets so that the Read More

The Posture of Faith

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 12:21:23 +0000

There are seasons in life when the weight of our trials feels unbearable. We pray, believe, and trust God, yet circumstances seem to move in the opposite direction of our expectations. Doors close, relationships struggle, finances tighten, and health challenges arise. In those moments, it is easy to interpret our pain as defeat. But as believers, we must remember that God’s perspective is different from ours. The Apostle Paul understood suffering better than most. He endured imprisonment, persecution, shipwrecks, beatings, and countless hardships. Yet he never allowed temporary trials to define his future. Instead, he fixed his eyes on God’s Read More
