Ask permission before taking. Abide by the answer.
Never take the first. Never take the last.
Take only what you need.
Take only that which is given.
Never take more than half. Leave some for others.
Harvest in a way that minimizes harm.
Use it respectfully. Never waste what you have taken.
Share.
Give thanks for what you have been given.
Give a gift, in reciprocity for what you have taken. Sustain the ones who sustain you and the earth will last forever. 64-65”

Prophetic Word: The Freedom to Choose

Listen…
God is positioning you before a table of divine opportunities. Not just one door—but several. Each one carries favor. Each one is marked with grace. And here’s the word: You choose.

He’s not forcing your hand. He’s honoring your growth. He trusts your discernment. And whichever path you take—you win.
No one loses. No blessing is forfeited. No promise is delayed.
Because this is not about competition—it’s about completion.

You’re stepping into a season where obedience and freedom walk hand in hand.
So breathe. Decide. Move.
Heaven is backing you either way.


Hallelujah ”
― Dr. Angela L. Hood
