The Power of the Quiet Season · Brain Spa

  Don't mistake silence for absence.
• 0:05
  Some of God's loudest work happens in the quiet.
• 0:10
  Today's Scripture is coming from Zechariah chapter #4 verse 10.
• 0:13
  And this is the NLT, and it says, do not despise these small
• 0:18
  beginnings, for God rejoices to see the work begin.
• 0:25
  Let's talk about it. Being chosen doesn't mean you
• 0:29
  skipped the grind. David was anointed, but still
• 0:34
  was sent back to the sheep as a shepherd.
• 0:39
  That wasn't God stalling, it was God sharpening.
• 0:43
  You see, the pasture was his training ground where his sling
• 0:47
  became his sword for the giant. God hides you to hone you.
• 0:56
  Maybe you're in the season with no applause, no spotlight, and
• 0:59
  no one checking for you. Yet heaven is fully tuned in.
• 1:06
  This is the season where roots grow deep before branches
• 1:10
  stretch high. If you can't honor the hidden
• 1:16
  work, you won't be able to handle the visible weight and
• 1:25
  today's reflection moment. The unseen days built the
• 1:30
  courage we use in the seen days. I wouldn't trade the quiet for
• 1:37
  anything. It taught me how to stand and
• 1:41
  how to build. It's like the young Potter who
• 1:45
  shaped a flawless vase and then hid it away in a dark cellar.
• 1:51
  When that's why she said if the clay meets the light too soon,
• 1:57
  it will crack under its own beauty.
• 2:01
  You see some blessings just like some people need the shadows to
• 2:06
  survive the spotlight and today's declaration.
• 2:11
  Repeat this after me. My hidden season is sacred
• 2:17
  training ground. God is shaping me for a blessing
• 2:24
  and await. I can't yet imagine and today's
• 2:30
  prayer. But I thank you for helping us
• 2:34
  to understand that we don't have to rush into anything because
• 2:40
  you're perfecting us in the shadows.
• 2:44
  Give us patience, trust, and diligence, and we believe that
• 2:48
  this season is our preparation season for what's next.
• 2:52
  We thank you for holding us and helping us to understand that as
• 2:55
  we are developing ourselves in the shadows, when the moment is
• 3:00
  right, we're going to be prepared for the spotlight.
• 3:05
  We thank you for always making sure that we are understand this
• 3:09
  and that we have a download of your wisdom as well as your
• 3:12
  peace to stay focused. We thank you for always making
• 3:16
  sure that we're not distracted, but focus on what you called us
• 3:19
  to do. We honor you for covering us,
• 3:22
  our loved ones and our kids and our spouses, and everyone who's
• 3:24
  near and dear to our heart. Thank you for making sure that
• 3:27
  we're whole and complete with nothing missing, broken, or
• 3:30
  lacking, and that we're always moving within your divine favor.
• 3:34
  We thank you for these many blessings that's bestowed upon
• 3:36
  us in this day, and that whatever we find to do
• 3:39
  throughout this day, it will go forth and prosper.
• 3:42
  And we thank you for these many blessings, for all you're going
• 3:45
  to continue to do in the masses. Name of Jesus to Christ our
• 3:48
  kingly do pray, Amen. God bless y'all.
• 3:52
  I love you and I hope you have a fantastic day today.
• 3:56
  Now take care. One last thought.
• 4:01
  Your quiet season is a weapon in disguise.
• 4:05
  Don't rush it because God's building a strength for the
• 4:08
  spotlight.
