“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy” (Joel 2:28)

And this is the time and season that young men and women are rising up to the called occasion of prophesying  and I for one am excited and blessed to know that our young nation of Abraham has decided that many young people are striving for greatness in the Lord. I would like to take the pleasure in featuring in “Ortheia’s Nuggets for Today”, one such anointed and prophetic young prophet of this hour and time, Kyla Grant:

• Kyla is a sophomore attending Howard University in Washington, DC, where she maintains a 4.0 GPA.

• Kyla is a broadcast journalism major

• Member of the Howard  University Gospel and Concert Choir where she leads praise & worship for their Friday Night Service

• Last month she traveled to Russia to perform with the Howard University Concert Choir

• She attend Greater Mount Calvary Holy Church

Let’s hear from Karla Grant:

Speak over yourself...Encourage yourself in the Lord

Hey Friends

A lot of people in my intimate circle (including myself) as well as my circle of associates have been in a place of need. Some of us are in a season of transition. We've been crying out to God pleading for an answer and itching for a breakthrough. Tired of crying. Tired of hurting. Optimizing our present in hope of a miracle... It’s a heavy place to be.

To have the weight of your world burdening your spirit.

To be swollen with emotion.

To carry your own cross even when Jesus already died.

To be in the eye of a storm without a rainbow in sight.

To be in constant search of a release...”If I could just touch the hem of his garment”..-Mark 5:28. 

To be in that place of despair...and to WALK with God it seems to lighten the load.

In John 14:1 After Jesus rose from the grave, He urged his followers (Us as believers) to "Let not your heart be troubled”...God is in control and He always has been. Bring your thoughts into submission under God's Word.

God placed it on my heart to let you know that YOUR CRIES ARE NOT IN VAIN.  “Know ye therefore that the Lord thy God, He is GOD, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that Love him AND keep his commandments” -Deuteronomy 7:9.  It is easy to forget that God WAS, HE IS, and HE will always be.

Life may rock you and roll you/toss you and turn you/eat you up and spit you out BUT GOD...

The road of righteousness is not always paved with ease but will trials. But on the other end there is a Blessing. The Word calls the persecuted righteous BLESSED. They shall inhabit the Kingdom of Heaven -Matthew 5:10. 

Saints of God, be not weary in your well doing for in due season, WE SHALL REAP IF WE FAINT NOT- Galatians 6:9.

God is not a man that He should lie, nor is he the son of man that he should repent- Numbers 23:19.  His word is Perfect. He will do what he said he would do. STAND FAST!! Saints when you get to the end of your rope and you think about throwing in the towel...LET GO and LET GOD.

The storm may rise against me but this will I be sure...”I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall CONTINUALLY be in my mouth!” Psalms 34:1. Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and LET US RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US-Hebrews 12:1.

People of God it is so important to be in your Word...to be built up on your most holy faith Jude 1:20.

To PRAY without ceasing- 1 Thessalonians 5:17. 

To seek the face of God and His righteousness- Matthew 6:33. 

To yearn to know the heart of God. To Love what God Loves and Hate what God Hates...To say "Lord, I may not be where I should be but I am so much further away from where I was”.

To move away from only praising God when things are perfected but to PRAISE HIM FOR YOUR PROGRESS.

Pray yourself into your new season.

Pray yourself through THE tears.

Pray yourself through THE stress.

Pray yourself through THE pain.

Pray yourself through THE test.

STOP claiming things that are NOT OF GOD as YOURS.

When you START claiming VICTORY and STOP claiming DEFEAT...WATCH GOD MOVE!!!

Don't become too consumed with life's happenings to discover your new season. Don't become SO busy SO bored or SO bothered that you cannot give God your attention. Don't ever get too cute to bend a knee to God and pray.

RESOLUTION

Have a new attitude.

I am who God said I am.

I can do what God said I can do.

I can have all that I said I can have.

I have the mind of Christ.

I am an heir to the inheritance.

No weapon formed against me shall prosper.

Every tongue that rises against me shall FALL- Isaiah 54:17...so I’ll trust Him. Even in my weakest hour I’ll trust Him.

When I see no light at the end of the tunnel I’ll trust Him.

When my friends have all forsaken me I’ll trust Him.

When the doctors tell me there's no cure I’ll trust Him.

When it looks as though no good can come of my situation I’ll trust Him.

When I can’t cry anymore I’ll trust Him.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you saith God. Thoughts of PEACE and not of evil To give you an expected end...Jeremiah 29:11

Be encouraged.

Press on...Karla Grant

Thank you Karla Grant and I prophesy unto you that “As the Scripture says, Eyes have not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man/woman, (all that) God has prepared (made, and keeps ready) for those who love Him (who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed). (I Cor. 2:9) I stand with you in prayer and love knowing that God will and shall grant you the desires of your heart for you; your family and those you love.
