21 MAR 2025 · Have you ever felt like God was holding you back? Like no matter how much you pray, doors are closing, relationships are shifting, and opportunities seem delayed? What if God isn’t punishing you? What if He’s PRUNING you for something GREATER?
🔥 In this episode, we’re uncovering:
✅ What it means to be pruned by God (John 15:1-2).
✅ Why even the fruitful areas of your life need pruning.
✅ The danger of stepping into ministry before you’re fully refined.
✅ Why spiritual covering and submission to leadership matter.
✅ How to embrace the process and trust God’s timing—IT’S WORTH IT!
🚨 Don’t let anyone push you ahead of God’s process! The enemy wants you to move prematurely, but God is shaping your character for sustainable growth, not temporary success.
