5 Ways to Believe What God Told You Without Forcing It
You can’t believe what God told you through willpower. You have to route your belief in the direction of what He told you.
I spend a lot of time in the presence of God because I have nowhere else to go lol. But no, seriously, it’s a great place to be wouldn’t want to be elsewhere, and I’ve tested many. Sometime in the last few weeks, the reality of what belief is became more solid for me. Or maybe my conviction around it just got stronger.
1. Stop treating belief like an act
I used to think believing was something you did. I thought believing was a verb. But belief is a power, and power is what makes something happen.
2. Route your belief
You can’t “power” a lamp. You route power to the lamp. Belief works the same way.
You can’t force yourself to believe what God told you. You route your belief in the direction of what He said.
3. Put your confidence in who spoke
If my mum tells me she’ll buy me a certain bag for my birthday, I’ll believe her because I know her. She does what she says she’ll do, so I can trust her. My confidence isn’t in getting the bag. My confidence is in who told me she was getting me the bag.
Now, if a stranger on the street promised me the same thing, I wouldn’t believe him because I don’t know him. Let’s say he’s six-something and Nordic-looking because the Norwegians are finally getting their moment. I’m writing this on Saturday evening after they lost so now I’ll have to support, for example, NO ONE for the rest of the World Cup. Anyway.
4. Make the thing itself a non-entity
Notice how the bag is a non-entity in all of this. The bag did not change. The difference is who made the promise.
That is where belief lies. It lies in who or what you believe.
5. Let who you believe strengthen your belief
Your belief does not grow because you will it to grow. It grows because of who you believe.
The more you believe in yourself, the future you’re walking toward and that everything is happening for absolute good, with no harm to anyone but abundant good for all, the stronger those beliefs become.
You believe those things because of who planted the seed of belief in the first place. The same thing can happen with negative beliefs.
Belief is powerful because it creates what you see. I’ll go into that in maybeee an episode of Can It Be. That’s another class we have to have!
One caveat: this will only work with absolute certainty if you are patient and your desire is aligned with God’s heart for you.

Your Daily Must Do
Think of it like a vitamin
For max hottie effect walk 10 - 30k steps a day and eat lowkey whatever you want that’s why you walk so much lol. But, if you’re concerned about no rules or regs, just eat God’s food, in normalll quantities, it’s hard to overeat real food.
Letter from the Editor (Me!!)
not copyedited btw
There comes a point where every girl decides what’s best for her, and it usually comes after rock bottom because there’s nothing like thinking from rock bottom, considering you can’t even do it lol. So you have no choice but to rely on something outside of yourself.
Luckily, if you’re here, you’ve chosen to rely on, oh I don’t know, the most reliable pillar. Or should I say ROCK?
Anyway, you’ve chosen to, or at some point chose to, because thank God we’re not where we used to be. And you’re not where you used to be. Pay attention now because something is going to happen to you very shortly.
We’re at a, how do I articulate this, an intersection of sorts. I’m sure you feel it.
Think of society’s collective rock bottom as COVID. Think of all the careers that were launched and people you didn’t know who you now know, me included, who “surfaced” during COVID.
We’re at another one of those moments. This time, it’s more systematic.
You’re probably not doing the same kind of work or schooling that you were doing six years ago. You’re probably either pivoting, planning to, or itching to. Don’t ignore that.
I’ve always said this and I’ll always say this: if you’re here right now, you’re part of not only my heart <3 love you fr, but part of what God is doing, which is infinitely more important, number one, and an amazing privilege, number two.
I don’t want you to miss it.
That thing you’ve been hesitating to do, to start, to begin, take a step. Just one.
Noah left the ark on one instruction. Abram left his homeland on one instruction. Esther left Shushan on one instruction. If you don’t remember the full context of these stories, ask Chat or Claude or whoever. It was one instruction.
And if you don’t really know what that instruction is, and I promise you there is an instruction otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this, may God remind you of what He told you.
He loves you so much. Never doubt His love for you, no matter what’s happening. Or not happening.
In fact, in a short while, a lot is about to be happening. I believe this with my whole heart. And I know you do too.
Accept it in the same way He’s accepted you.
LOVE YOU AND I’M BACK IN ACTION.
Had to reset and realign (and freaking graduate lmao. Get out of my face. I will be writing NO MORE theses for a HOT MINUTE. So over it okay :D)
Always remember you’re hot and amazing and wonderful and beautiful and graceful and the reason the sun rises in the morning love you sooooooooo much.
xoxo,
