Amen! The past three years I was rejected by every job I applied to and didn’t understand why at first. I was qualified, but could never land the job. I quit applying for months off and on because I was discouraged and thought maybe something was wrong with me, so I kept focusing on building my skills. Well, last month I started applying for jobs everyday and left the rest completely in God’s hands. I prayed that he only give me the job he wanted for me. Well, I started getting all these calls back to come in for interviews! The hiring managers liked me, but in my Spirit I knew these jobs were not a fit. God spoke to me that it was time for me to start applying to the industry that I loved and feared, the one that I always said I needed a few more months to prepare for and wasn’t ready. I took the risk and applied. I received three calls back to come in for an interview. I was patient and went to the first two. The first one didn’t sit well in my Spirit. I told God if that wasn’t the job, then let them reject me flat out, no offer. I never heard back from them. The second job, I had reservations out of fear. The job seemed too big for me, but God kept pushing me to see the interview through. The more I prayed and sought God, the more excited I got about this job. I remembered who my Father is and that when he has something for me, it is for my good and never my harm. I couldn’t wait to go to the interview! The enemy did his best to keep me from going there. I had gone to the wrong location and almost got into a car accident. All I could do is laugh because I knew it all meant that the enemy knew I was close to my banner year blessing and wanted to stop me. I got to the interview and it went amazingly well. My Spirit was on fire in that place. I knew I was where God wanted me. I was hired right there on the spot. God had blessed me with my dream job right in the beginning of the new season, one day after a very significant September 7th. I hope my story will encourage anyone else who is believing God for something and feels it will never come. God’s timing is perfect. Rejection is only his protection. Let him lead you in all the decisions you make. He’ll never steer you wrong. Thanks for always delivering such an awesome message, Pastor Nicole!
