I pulled this from my 2025 journal. As I read it, I was excited and also a little angry. Excited because the assignment is much clearer than it was at the time I wrote it, and angry because I see that I have not spent enough time in the secret place. As I look back to September 14, 2025, I see so many changes God has brought into my life that relate to “The Assignment.” I believe this is applicable to anyone who feels the call of God on their life, regardless of what that call is. I also believe the Holy Spirit has spoken something very similar to many people.
The Assignment
Evening Thought: The Assignment Sept 14, 2025
“About 4 years ago, the Lord told me the assignment was coming and it would be revealed at the “Kairos” time. I was also told the strategy for the assignment would be found in the secret place. That time is now.
Nothing else matters when the assignment is clear because the weight of the assignment crushes out the need for false priorities, lame relationships, and those seemingly important fun distractions. The weight continues to drive me back again and again to the secret place, feeling that there is more that is needed. Superficial religious cliches such as “Jesus is enough” won’t work as He has made it clear He needs me for this assignment or it will not get done.
It does not matter who understands, because the assignment is everything and just as He needed Nehemiah to rebuild the walls, He needs each of us to answer the call.Just as He needed Moses to lead the people, Joshua to invade the promised land, and David to take down Goliath, He needs us for the assignment.
There is no promised notoriety with the assignment but there is the promise that you may be misunderstood, ridiculed, and abandoned. But that is ok because suddenly the assignment is so weighty, all that matters is getting back into the secret place for the next “now word” that is required to keep you on track.
I realize as I look back over the years, that every problem was a steppingstone of preparation. Even the failures were beneficial. I realize that God brought some into my life and removed others to get the assignment completed. All the night dreams and prophetic words now make sense. I also realized that a short time ago there was a decision that had to be made before the assignment could be released and that decision initiated the Kairos release. What seemed so cloudy is now crystal clear.
I have no idea why I am writing this except I know there are many just like me who are waiting for their Kairos release. Remember that nothing is wasted. Don’t give up! Your assignment is different but it’s yours and God has the strategy for you, and it’s found in the secret place. God needs you to complete your assignment. If you don’t, who will?”
Today, as I look back at this journal entry, I now see the bigger picture that has developed over the past 6 months. I see how clear it is that every day counted when it was not so obvious as each day flipped through the calendar, one by one. I wonder what I missed when I was too busy for the secret place, even when I got nudges to stop and be still. But I also see how important the days ahead are. I see the priceless value of remaining in the place of communion and fellowship with God. I see the importance of staying in the “Now” with every word. I see the importance of the dreams, visions, and God Words that were deposited over the past 6 months, each carrying a divine directive for that day. I see the importance of obedience to The Assignment, regardless of the cost. Things are much clearer than just 6 months ago.
The Assignment is given to each of us, and we are responsible to steward our assignment well. There is an enemy who will distract and discourage if allowed. But he knows he can only influence where he is allowed entry. Understanding spiritual warfare is critical in this day. Over 1 year ago, I heard clearly, “You can be appointed and anointed, and not complete your assignment.” Why? Because there will be something that suddenly becomes more important or more valuable than The Assignment. It may be pleasing people, as King Saul learned. It may be greed, as with Judas Iscariot. It may be following the wrong voices, as with the man of God from Judah in 1 Kings 13 who was deceived by the elderly prophet of Bethel. We must stay close to the Words of God being given to us in the Secret Place of communion with God and in His Word. A large following does not guarantee a person is speaking the Word of God. God will speak and direct each of us if we remain in the secret place with Him. Many are being led astray today by false prophets, enticing pseudo-doctrines, and entertainment theology. As God told Joshua, “Be strong and courageous…obey and meditate on His Word day and night…and then you will make your way successful.” Joshua 1:7-8.
