If thereās one thing I must succeed in, it is to fail.
One time, my friend broke his leg. I asked if I could pray for it, believing that he could be healed in a moment. Nothing happened. He used crutches for the next 2 months before he could properly walk.
One time, a younger sister was laying sick in bed, overwhelmed by her health and how sheād get through her crazy schedule the next day. I asked if I could pray for her. Immediately after praying, she began to weep because her migraine disappeared, her stomach ache left, and she could finally breathe through her nose.
One time, I sat at a restaurant and I kept hearing the name āAmandaā in my heart. I didnāt know what to do. Shortly after, our waitress came to the table so I asked her if her name was Amanda. She laughed and said no. I continued to eat my meal and never found out who Amanda was.
One time, a friend of a friend kept popping up in my mind. I had no context with him, so I asked the Lord to give me a few words for him. I randomly sent him a Facebook message to share a few things. He read it but never said anything, so I figured it was all balogne. Hehe, whoops. Iād share with others this story to illustrate how itās okay to take a shot, even if you donāt get it right. Weād laugh about it. A few months later, I received a message from him saying how every word resonated with him. He just forgot to respond until a word that was given was confirmed.
One time, my friendās mother had cancer. I went over with a guitar. We worshipped and sang and believed for healing that, at this point, could only come from the Healer. Itās been a little over a year since her mother passed away. I miss her so much.
One time, I was walking to class when the Lord highlighted something about a classmate. The next day, I saw him sitting in the Graduate Lobby alone, so I asked if I could share a few cool things with him. His eyes lit up - and I think his spirit did, too. That was so fun to see.
Case in point: Sometimes you get it right. Sometimes you donāt. Sometimes miracles happen. Sometimes they donāt. But all the time, give it a shot. In the kingdom, failure doesnāt disqualify you, it promotes you. Donāt aim for accuracy, aim for obedience. Donāt fear failure, fear the One who will never fail you. Iām learning that failure is not when I get a prophetic word wrong. Failure is when I have an opportunity to speak words of life and love, but I withhold it because I was not willing to lose my life. It is self-preservation, not risk, that will lead us to real failure: failure to see the kingdom released on Earth.
I hate failure. I will go to the ends of the Earth to try and not fail. I am the epitome of āthe golden childā who ānever failed.ā But Iām realizing that if I want to go after the supernatural, I have to get really good at failing. Iām learning that it takes humility and faith to fail; and it is a prerequisite to the supernatural.Ā Welp⦠letās do this.
