Welcome to Season 2 of You Are My Witnesses! We’re not easing in, we’re diving straight into the deep end.
This isn’t just another season. This is a divine invitation. God is gathering a remnant—ordinary believers with an extraordinary YES—who are rising up in this hour to carry His glory, proclaim His truth, and prepare the way.
And I believe… you are one of them.
Embracing God’s Timing, Authority, and the Call to Faithful Obedience
Feeling stuck in the waiting? Wondering why others move forward while you stand still with a dream no one else seems to understand? In this episode, we explore the deeper purpose in seasons of waiting and what it means to walk in true authority, rooted in love.
Before the foundation of the world, God knew you, chose you, and planted a seed of His love in your heart
You Are My Witnesses Podcast
Before the foundation of the world, God knew you, chose you, and planted a seed of His love in your heart (Ephesians 1:4–5). That seed grows not through striving or people’s praise, but through trusting and receiving His love.
This episode is a call to let God tend the seed He placed in you—to trust His timing, experience His love afresh, and rise with boldness as a witness to the world. You were made by Love, for Love—and that changes everything.
Trusting God’s Perfect Timing
Why rushing God’s plan only leads to frustration
God’s promises often take time to grow—on purpose. Delay isn’t denial; it’s part of His perfect design. Like a skilled gardener, He knows when to plant and when to bring the harvest. Even when it feels slow or confusing, trust this: the dream didn’t die. It’s just not harvest time yet. Let Him tend the soil—His timing is perfect. (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
Delay doesn’t mean denial.

Faithfulness in the Hidden Places
The secret soil where God prepares us for greatness
If your God-given dream feels delayed or even rejected, take heart—so did Joseph’s. His journey through rejection, false accusation, and being forgotten wasn’t wasted. Each step positioned him for greater purpose. Joseph learned that faithfulness in the pit prepared him for authority in the palace. The dream didn’t die—it was being refined. And so are you.
His [Joseph’s] position in God’s hand mattered more than the dream itself.

Being a ‘Lucy’ in Your Generation
The courage to follow when no one else sees the way
Sometimes, obedience means going first—even when no one else sees what you see. Like Lucy in Prince Caspian, we can feel the tension between what God has shown us and the pressure to conform to what others believe. But revelation comes with responsibility. In this episode, we explore the courage it takes to follow God alone, the beauty of being trusted with vision, and how one person’s faithfulness can open the way for many. If you feel unseen, misunderstood, or like you’re the only one—this message is for you.
The Power of Daily Surrender
How letting go brings Kingdom authority
When Lucy chose to obey—even when others mocked or doubted—her faith made a way for others to follow. Maybe you’ve faced a “Susan” in your life—someone who questioned your conviction or couldn’t see what God showed you. You’re not alone. Like Lucy, your obedience matters more than you know. What feels small could be the very thing God uses to bring breakthrough, restoration, and revival. Don’t give up—your faithfulness is making a way.
Lucy seemed so small in the story—but her obedience changed everything.

Understanding Power vs. Authority
The deeper source of spiritual breakthrough
God has given you power—but now He’s inviting you into something deeper: authority. Power is a gift, freely given. But authority is cultivated in the secret place—through prayer, fasting, and communion with God. It’s not about striving or platforms. It’s about surrender.
Authority is different. It’s not handed out freely—it’s forged in the secret place. It comes from communion with God, through prayer, fasting, and intimacy with Him—not as a reaction to problems, but as a way of life rooted in relationship.
You Are My Witnesses Podcast
Jesus taught His disciples that some battles require more than power—they require authority that flows from deep communion with God. When they couldn’t cast out a stubborn demon, He told them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting” (Mark 9:29).
We are stewards of our gifts, not owners.
You Are My Witnesses Podcast
True authority isn’t loud—it’s rooted. It doesn’t come by climbing higher, but by going lower. Jesus said, “I have given you authority… over all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10:19). In these days, authority isn’t optional—it’s essential, like the extra oil carried by the wise virgins.
Will you be faithful when no one is watching? Will you trust His timing over your own? When you live under the rule of Jesus, you carry the authority to bring His Kingdom—quietly, boldly, faithfully—into every place you step.
The weight of your calling will crush you unless it’s supported by authority that comes from the secret place.
You Are My Witnesses Podcast
You were made by Love, for Love. And it’s in daily surrender that you become who you were created to be.
Your Invitation to Step Forward
Will you say yes to God’s calling today?
God is inviting you to more—starting now. Will you fully surrender? Lay down your timelines, your plans, and your expectations, and submit to Jesus as your authority. This is a daily decision, a walk of trust where power becomes authority, and obedience changes everything.
You were made to be a witness who goes low to shine bright.
You Are My Witnesses Podcast
You were made for this moment—to be a witness who goes low to shine bright. So rise up. Say yes. The Kingdom is ready to flow through you. The time is now.
Final Prayer:
Lord Jesus, Thank You for Your unfailing love and for planting Your purposes deep within our hearts. Today, we choose to surrender fully to You—our authority, our guide, our strength. Help us walk humbly and faithfully in the secret place, receiving Your power and Your authority to bring Your Kingdom everywhere we go.
Renew our hearts, strengthen our faith, and fill us with Your Spirit. May we be witnesses who shine brightly, even when the path is lonely or uncertain. Lead us, protect us, and use us for Your glory.
In Your mighty name, we pray, Amen.
