📣 Good Morning Kingdom Leaders,

Happy Hump Day!

During my quiet time this morning, the Lord placed a word on my heart 💬 to share with you all.

While meditating, the Holy Spirit reminded me that not all opposition or challenges are necessarily bad ⚔️. Sometimes, God allows difficulty in certain seasons to refine us 🔥, sharpen us 🛠️, and prepare us for what’s next. He may be stripping something away—or adding something new 🌱.

📖 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away; behold, the new has come!”
—2 Corinthians 5:17

We are reminded in 📖 Romans 5:3-5 that suffering produces perseverance, and perseverance builds character and hope. James 1:12 calls us to see trials as opportunities to develop endurance, promising the crown 👑 of life to those who remain steadfast. And in Galatians 6:9, we’re urged not to grow weary in doing good, because in due season, we will reap a harvest 🌾—if we do not give up.

Let this be a reminder: He who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it. 💪🏽 “...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
—Philippians 1:6

Trust that everything is working out for your good 🙌🏽.
📖 Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

One practical way to assess your spiritual growth is by reflecting on the fruit of the Spirit 🍎 found in 📖 Galatians 5:22–23: love ❤️, joy 😊, peace 🕊️, patience ⏳, kindness 💕, goodness 💫, faithfulness 🙏🏽, gentleness 🤲🏽, and self-control 🧘🏽. Ask the Lord, “Where am I in this area?” and trust me—He will lovingly speak to you 🔊.

I’m praying that you have an amazing day 💛, full of clarity, courage, and confidence in Him 💡🛡️👣.

If this message blesses you 🙌🏽, I’d love to invite you to join our growing community of Christian leaders 🌍. We meet for prayer, equipping, and real conversations. Our primary focus is unpacking the Word of God 📖 and allowing the Holy Spirit to minister to and strengthen us 🔥. No one has missed a session yet! That speaks volumes 📢, because the Lord truly fills us back up so we can start or continue our God-given assignments 🎯.

All sessions are recorded 🎥 and uploaded onto your private portal with notes 📝 and other resources 📚 that we share within the group that will strengthen, encourage, and prepare you for the mighty call on your life 💥.

The Lord has given me such a burden for this community 💖, but I am graced for it, and I am passionate about seeing you grow spiritually and biblically to be all that God has called you to be 🙏🏽🌱.

With love and purpose,
Shakeeta Torres 💜

FRESH WIND 💨💨💨💨💨

❤️‍🔥 As we enter the third month of the year's first quarter, I found myself saying this past Sunday, “Lord, I need a fresh wind.” I have God-given goals that I am striving to accomplish, but if I’m honest—I get tired, too, just like anyone else. I often need strength, renewal, and fresh fire from the Lord. 🔥

❤️‍🔥 Today, as my family and I gathered for Bible study—one of the most beautiful and sacred times we share—my husband began to pray over me, speaking life, making declarations over me, and interceding for the visions God has placed within me. And in that moment, FRESH WINDS 💨💨💨 of the Holy Spirit began to blow over me—again and again and again. It was so powerful. I could feel the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit filling me up, reviving my spirit, and renewing my strength.

❤️‍🔥 Then, in that place of refreshing, the Lord began to download strategies and instructions for the assignments ahead of me. What a reminder that when we feel weak, God is still working!

❤️‍🔥 This experience reminded me of a truth that every leader needs to embrace: No matter where you are on your journey, you need people who will speak life into you, cover you in prayer, and believe in what God has called you to do.

❤️‍🔥 I am beyond grateful for my tribe—my spiritual covering and those who pour into me. If you feel weary or depleted, I pray that you, too, will experience the FRESH WINDS of the HOLY SPIRIT reviving you, strengthening you, and breathing new life into you.

❤️‍🔥 If you seek community and a place to be refreshed and strengthened in your leadership journey, I invite you to join us. You do not have to lead alone! Our first session together is March 9th, 2025, but the community is already open. Don’t wait to enter a space where you can be poured into, uplifted, and equipped for what’s ahead.

💨 “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of Hosts.” — Zechariah 4:6
💨 “He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might, He increases strength.” — Isaiah 40:29
💨 “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

God is faithful. He will sustain you. A fresh wind is coming! 🌬

P.S. One of the things that I love to do is zip-lining. It is so freeing and beautiful. I have not been in a while, but we will be hitting somebody's Zipline this spring. Would you happen to have any recommendations?

The Wheat from the Tare 🌾✨

This message is a reminder for some and a wake-up call for others. The Holy Spirit wants you to know that public exposure is not meant to shame or humiliate but to bring people to repentance 🙏 when they refuse to turn away from their sins done in secret.

In His mercy, the Lord gives countless warnings to repent and turn away from wrongdoing. Exposure is never His first choice—it is often the last resort after repeated calls to repentance go unanswered. Even in exposure, God’s heart remains redemptive. ❤️ His desire is always to draw people back to Him.

We see this clearly in David's life. After committing grave sins—sleeping with Bathsheba, getting her pregnant, and orchestrating the murder of her husband Uriah—David faced an open rebuke from the Lord. Nathan confronted him publicly (2 Samuel 12), and David bore the consequences of his actions. Yet, when David humbled himself, repented, and cried out to the Lord, God restored him. 🙌

“For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all who call upon You.” (Psalm 86:5) 💛

Though there were consequences for David’s sin, God forgave him and continued to use him for His glory. This is the same heart of God today. Even in discipline, His mercy prevails. 🌟

The Lord is Separating the Wheat from the Tare 🌾

This season, God is doing a deep work in the hearts of His people. He is separating the wheat from the tare—those truly rooted in Him from those not. This separation isn’t for judgment alone but to refine and purify the hearts of believers. 💧🔥

“For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?” (1 Peter 4:17)

God is exposing hidden things in this season, but exposure always comes with an opportunity for restoration. Just as He desired David’s repentance and restoration, He desires the same for all of us. His discipline is born out of love, not condemnation. ❤️

“Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.” (Revelation 3:19)

A Call to Lay It Down 🕊️

This is a time of heart refinement for every believer. If there is anything the Lord has asked you to lay down, now is the time to surrender. Whether it’s pride, unforgiveness, secret sin, or anything else hindering your walk with Him, He calls you to respond with humility and obedience. 🙏✨

“Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.” (2 Timothy 2:21)

The Lord’s desire is not to leave anyone in their sin but to restore, redeem, and renew. 🌈 His call to repentance is an invitation to experience freedom, healing, and a deeper relationship with Him. 💖

Be Encouraged 🌟

Whatever the Lord asks you to surrender, I encourage you to do. The refinement process may not always feel easy, but it is always worth it. God’s correction leads to life, not destruction. 🌱

“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” (Hebrews 12:11) 💕

The Lord is faithful to complete the good work He began in you (Philippians 1:6). Trust His process, surrender to His leading, and allow Him to purify your heart for His glory. 🌿

I just wanted to let you know that now is the time to respond. Will you lay it down and trust Him? 🕊️✨
