WE GOT VIDEO BABY! check it out on Spotify!THE 5-YEAR PREPARATIONWhat if the breakthrough you're praying for requires preparation you're not willing to do? What if God's been working behind the scenes for YEARS positioning you for something you can't even see yet?In today's powerful episode closing out Week 2, Desiree shares a story she's never told before: the 5-year journey to buy her first home.Five years ago, they started receiving shares from their company. Instead of using them, they made a 5-YEAR PLAN to cash them out for a house down payment.Here's the thing: at this time, Desiree was one foot in and one foot out with God. She wasn't consciously bringing God into this decision. She wasn't praying about it. But NOW she sees - God was FAITHFUL even when she wasn't fully committed. He was positioning her, training her, preparing her.Over those 5 years, the shares accumulated out of sight and out of mind. They just kept stacking. And during that time, God was working on Desiree - teaching her to "take care of what you already have in order for God to make room for what's next." Bit by bit, she cleared things off her plate.They started searching for a home in Las Vegas where they were based. Nothing matched their vision. As a joke, they looked in Branson, Missouri. And THERE it was - everything they'd envisioned.Now Desiree's husband returned to his hometown bringing the family he'd created. And God put Desiree in the most peaceful place she's ever been - positioned exactly where she needs to be to do the work God's called her to do.IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:The power of Exodus 19:10-11 - God says "be ready" BEFORE He shows upDesiree's 5-year journey from credit score below 600 to homeownershipHow God was faithful even when she was one foot in/one foot outThe principle: "Take care of what you have so God can make room for what's next"Why faithful preparation over YEARS positions you for breakthroughHow God works behind the scenes even when you're not consciously bringing Him inThe unexpected move to Branson, Missouri and God's bigger planWhy the preparation ISN'T separate from the blessing - it's the process TO the blessingTODAY'S SCRIPTURE:Exodus 19:10-11 - "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow.
