A Shift In The Atmosphere

Shaun Bradford
Covered!

For several days now, B. Slade’s (formerly known as Tonex) song, “Make Me Over,” has been playing in my head off and on. But today, it’s been on repeat. I fell asleep hearing it and woke up hearing it. Even believe I was hearing it while asleep. Which means it must need to be shared. Here are the lyrics.

“Make Me Over” by B. Slade
Lyrics: Musixmatch

You know my other side
I can no longer hide
Let you down so many times
Sin freshly crucifies

Thought that I had a plan
I had it all figured out
But the more that you tried to be by my side
The more I pushed you out

Lord make me over
Lord make me over
Lord make me over

Make me over again (Is that anybody’s prayer out there tonight)
Make me over again (Somebody out there sing it come on)
Make me over again
Make me over again

Time after the time I failed you
Pierced your side when they already nailed you
Jesus heal my open wounds
I just want to be more like you

Father I let you down
What’s not like you just take it out
Reconcile me Jesus, I just want to please you
Wash me and make me whole

Lord make me over
Lord make me over
Lord make me over

Make me over again
Make me over again
Make me over again
Make me over again

Y’all, there’s another shift happening in the atmosphere. I can feel it, and I’m here for it! God is making everything new again. Whatever was meant for evil or to destroy will not prevail. Keep your eyes, hearts, and minds open. Great things are headed your way!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

According To God’s Plans

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! Have you ever been frustrated, disappointed, down, or even hurt because things in life just haven’t gone as planned? Well, according to your plans.

If so…

Let It Go!

Release every expectation you had for your plan because God has something better in store.

Here’s a quote from the late Bruce Van Horn along with the post I shared six years ago.

I shared this a couple of weeks after I had basically given up on my plans of finding a new home. After losing my house (due to divorce), I had promised my kids that the place we had moved into was only temporary. Well, eventually our “temporary” home began to look more like a long term stay.

After three years of searching for a place and things not working out, one day everything just fell into place. I found a house, secured the lease, and moved in the day before my son’s birthday.

You see, the year before, I had promised my son we’d be in a new place before his next birthday (no lie). So, I was really trying to make good on my promise. Well, by the time September of the following year rolled around, I still hadn’t found a place. Talk about being frustrated and disappointed. Then, one day I just let it go. I was tired. And that’s when it all happened. What I hadn’t been able to do in three years, God did in less than three weeks. To this day, it still amazes me how things happened. As I mentioned, we moved in the day before my son’s birthday.

Y’all, that’s only one of many examples of things happening according to God’s plan. As Bruce Van Horn put in his message from God, trust God’s love for you. Never doubt that He’s got you, completely!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Praise

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! Woke up this morning with this scripture playing over and over in my head.

Psalm 34:1—I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Continually…

Never ceasing…

Always…

God’s praise shall continually be in my mouth. Amen

I pray you have a wonderful day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Who’s In Your Circle?

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Who’s in your circle?

Do they build you up or tear you down?

Do they give or constantly take?

Are they supportive?

Are they kind?

Can you trust them?

Again, who’s in your circle?

Hmmm…Something to think about, right?!

That’s it for now. Praying you have a wonderful day and fabulous week!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

My Purse Note

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! I hope you rested well last night. I surely did.😊

So, as you can see I’m still talking about my “purse note,” which I retired yesterday. Yay!! Yes, I retired it. It had been ten years and needed to be released along with everything else I released on the other side of 50. As I said, there wasn’t anything juicy or story worthy in it, just something between me and God. Basically, it was about my state of being and mindset at the time (2014).

At the time I was on the brink of a divorce and I thought my world was falling apart because things weren’t going as smoothly as I had hoped. For those who don’t know, I initiated the divorce (full story can be found elsewhere). I knew before I said “I do” that I shouldn’t have. Besides that still small voice screaming in my head “Don’t do it!”, there were many other signs. Side note: When I tell this story I have always referenced “When I said ‘I do’.” Well, it just dawned on me that we never said any vows. We got married at the courthouse and one of the options was for the vows to be said to us and we just say “I do.” And that’s what happened. Wow!

Anyhoo… let me not get sidetracked. As I have written before, I had to make things right. He had no idea I wasn’t in my right frame of mind when I got married, but God knew. For years I lived in guilt and I kept hearing my life wouldn’t get any better if I didn’t make things right, which was letting him go. And boy when I did it wasn’t pretty. Becoming emotional all over again. Y’all, I had no clue I would lose everything. Everything! My house. My car. Family. Looking back, had I known, I’m not sure if I would have done it. I would have needed to. I had lost myself. I was depressed. I wasn’t mentally present for my kids. I had lost so much hope. It was just a bad situation that I needed to get out of, and I did.

Now, here I am 10 years later full of gratitude! I made it!!! Yessss!!! Here I am 10 years later and God has restored everything I lost including dreams I had given up on long before I got married. Y’all, obedience pays off. Listen, right those wrongs in your life and watch God work. At first, the enemy will make you feel like you’ve made the biggest mistake in your life. However, the biggest mistake is living a lie, and not living to fully fulfill your purpose, dreams, and goals. Y’all, there’s so much more for me to do and see! I can’t wait to see what God has planned for the next 10 years!

The message: Be obedient…the first time.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
