When God Sends You to Ezekiel: What He Showed Me in the Middle of My Storm.

There are moments in our walk with God when He answers us in ways we’re not expecting.

Sometimes He speaks softly.

Sometimes He whispers comfort.

And sometimes… He sends you to a chapter in the Bible that feels heavy, intense, and confusing at first glance.

That happened to me this morning.

I asked God to speak to me — to talk to my mind, my emotions, and my spirit — and He led me straight into the book of Ezekiel. I read Ezekiel 24:1–14, and suddenly, something stirred in me. I felt the weight, the intensity, the judgment, the urgency. And without even realizing it, I wrote words in my journal that came out sounding like a cry from a tired soul looking at a broken world.

At first, I didn’t understand.

“Lord… why Ezekiel? Why these chapters?”

But God wasn’t rejecting me.

He wasn’t condemning me.

He wasn’t angry with me.

He was revealing something about my calling.

Ezekiel: The Prophet Who Saw What Others Ignored

Ezekiel lived in a time where:

• people called evil “good,”

• leaders misused God’s name,

• injustice was normalized,

• the vulnerable were ignored,

• and everyone did what was right in their own eyes.

Sound familiar?

It feels like the world we are living in right now.

God wasn’t trying to scare me.

He was trying to awaken me — to open my spiritual eyes the same way He opened Ezekiel’s.

The Calling of a Watchman

In Ezekiel, God raises the prophet as a watchman — a person who can see danger, discern the times, and protect others with truth. A watchman is not loud… but purposeful. Not emotional… but discerning. Not popular… but necessary.

And suddenly, I understood:

God was speaking to the watchman inside of me.

This sensitivity I carry…

this heaviness when I see injustice…

this grief over the brokenness of the world…

this fire for truth…

this desire to guide people back to God…

It isn’t weakness.

It’s calling.

He wasn’t showing me darkness.

He was showing me who He created me to be in the middle of it.

Not a Prophet of Doom — But a Restorer

Many people don’t realize that the book of Ezekiel is not only about judgment.

Half of it is about restoration:

• new hearts

• new beginnings

• new breath

• new hope

• the rebuilding of ruins

• the return of God’s glory

And that is what God is doing in me.

He is shaping me not to condemn others…

but to restore them.

Not to judge the broken…

but to help heal them.

Not to point out darkness…

but to carry His light into it.

My calling as a coach, mentor, and faith-based leader is not about workouts and macros alone.

It is about:

• rebuilding identity

• restoring confidence

• helping women find their worth

• guiding hearts back to God

• speaking truth with love

• being a safe place for the hurting

And THIS — this is the heart of Ezekiel.

God Is Training My Spirit

Ezekiel teaches something powerful:

A prophet must learn to separate their own emotions from God’s voice.

My journal this morning reflected fear, frustration, and exhaustion — my humanity.

Not God’s heart.

And instead of shaming me, God used the moment to teach me:

“Daughter, learn to hear Me above your emotions.

Learn to recognize My voice even in the middle of pressure.”

This is spiritual maturity.

This is prophetic training.

Why Ezekiel Matters in My Season Right Now

Because just like Ezekiel, I’m living through:

• financial pressure

• life uncertainty

• betrayal from people I trusted

• feeling unseen

• feeling stretched

• feeling tired

• waiting for God to move

But here’s the beauty:

God doesn’t wait for the storm to end before He speaks.

He speaks inside the storm.

Ezekiel was called IN exile.

He was used IN chaos.

He was strengthened IN uncertainty.

And so am I.

A Word From God’s Heart to Mine (and Yours)

As I closed my Bible, I felt God whisper:

“I am awakening you.

You are not forgotten — you are chosen.

You will speak life to the broken.

You will restore hearts back to Me.

You will not drown in this season — I am strengthening you through it.”

This is why Ezekiel found me today.

Not to scare me.

Not to judge me.

Not to condemn me.

But to prepare me.

To align me.

To reveal my calling.

And to remind me that even when everything around me feels unstable,

He is still God, and He is still writing my story.

If You Are Reading This…

Maybe God is awakening something in you too.

Maybe you’ve been overwhelmed by the brokenness in the world.

Maybe you’ve been asking, “Lord, where are You in all this?”

He is right here.

Speaking.

Calling.

Shaping.

Strengthening.

And just like Ezekiel —

He is preparing you for something greater than what you see right now.
