As I was sitting in morning reflection with God today, I saw a picture of an inauguration parade, and sensed Him saying to me “I’ve given you authority Katrina”.
It was interesting that generally when I see things in the spirit – which is daily – the revelation of what God shows me is fairly quick. Often a few moments, and then it starts to unfold and I receive the missive. Of course it can then continue to unfold further in the days, weeks, even years to come!
But today it was different. I saw the streets of heaven lined with people, and had the clear sense it’s an inauguration. But for the life of me I couldn’t see of WHO. I knew that it obviously wasn’t about me, I ran through my kids and loved ones in my minds eye and nothing sat right.
As I continued to wait, I clearly saw God the Father seated ahead, at the end of the parade, and then Jesus to His right hand. And it hit me –
this IS about you being crowned Kat, crowned with righteousness, crowned as His child, crowned as the word of God says we are as Kings and Queens, a royal priesthood under and in and by the King of Kings.
INSERT SQUIRMINESS.
Because every part of the FLESHLY me was making this about me, and ‘as if’ God is showing me a vision of inauguration or royalty or crowning that is about me!
OH what a dangerous ‘as if’!
I don’t say ‘as if’ Jesus would really give His life for me, and I don’t say ‘as if’ for a second to do with my place in eternity.
So why would I question the effects of that salvation and its work FOR eternity here on this earth?
Why am I so comfortable to believe in salvation which changes my eternal destiny yet not when it’s directly about my earthly one?
And the truth is … I’m not.
I accept, believe whole-heartedly, and call on the Name of Jesus in every area of my life, in greater specificity and surrender the longer I walk with Him.
You too? I surely hope so!
“You’ve been given authority, Katrina, and you need to use it”.
I just checked back in my journal, and these were the exact words.
Now insert your name.
How does that make you feel?
I know for me I feel excited, I feel reverence, I feel CERTAINTY. And I also feel and have BEEN resistant.
Oh Lord, forgive us for resisting your authority and power through us, and the work you’ve given us to do, the words to release from heaven, the sound you’d have us sing and be, for your glory!
It’s not new to me to realise about myself that I need to quit resisting and avoiding walking in what He’s put in me.
What’s a little more new … and I say that very loosely, because suspect I’ve known this for some time and so Lord cause me to REMEMBER it … is the revelation that I need to also quit looking around to somehow ‘get there’.
To get to a place where walking in and by Him, crowned by Him, as His signet ring no less, is something I think I’m positioned for, prepared for, or have clarity on every last bit of the how of.
The message He gives me is clear, and I know it’s one for you as well. In whatever form that may take for you.
And that message is this:
Walk into the space, and be my voice.
Put your fingers to the keyboard, and be my voice.
Turn the camera on, and be my voice.
I used to say to clients some years back – “commit to the container, and pour in whatever comes out!’
This was my response to how to know or do or decide ANYTHING relevant to content, course, messaging unleashing.
Just decide the CONTAINER, and pour in whatever comes out.
This is what God’s been calling me more deeply into.
In practice this means, if you know you’re meant to go live, DO it and know He’ll provide the words, His presence going before and beside you and His favour surrounding you.
If you know it’s a book, pray and START it.
Pray, declare, decree over whatever it is and then take that breath and open.mouth.in.faith.
Ya know?
We make this so complicated.
But life in Jesus is easy.
I don’t mean it’s not hard. Or that His mysteries, which by the way mind you He says are the glory of kings and queens aka US to seek out, are not endless.
But it is not a master puzzle for us to figure out.
It is in Him we FIND out.
So look afresh.
Surrender afresh.
Say yes afresh.
And then?
Girl do your job. The job of showing up to whatever God is leading you to.
He will bring the rest.
And the fire which is lit by heavenly oil and cannot be quenched will burn through you.
In Jesus Name let it be so for each of us,
Amen.
Now don’t forget –
Life is Now. Press Play.

Called to Burn, the masterclass, took place on Saturday and it was 1h 55 minutes of the absolute fire and flow of the Lord through me, for you.
As per usual it went infinitely beyond what I expected or imagined and brought that fresh sweet fire of the Lord which ALWAYS falls on sacrifice.
In this case, I believe, the sacrifice being my own and also that of those who have already said yes to this and ARE still in the yes (maybe you? maybe now?!), which is a yes to being DONE doing it our own way.
The reality we’ve maybe tried every which way to understand ourselves, act on ourselves, finally realise we can’t and don’t want to build ourselves, is the one in which we actually submit to how MAMMOTH the vision God has put in us is, and the fact that if He showed it He is also the one gonna cause it to come to fruition.
Not//how//instagram//says. lol.
If you are called to burn, as His voice and vessel –
And you know that includes writing, speaking, creating, pouring and out and selling –
And you KNOW know you sure as all get out aren’t gonna be doing that the old or the world’s ways –
This is going to blow things wide open for you and take you into that place in HIM where it makes sense, it is certain, it is PALPABLY graced, and it flows outta you like the rivers of living water He wrote for you, FOR THE SUPERNATURAL MULTIPLICATION OF THE WORK YOU ARE HERE TO DO.
