HOW Can?

U.N.L.E.S.S.

Romans 10:14 “Contemporary English Version How can people have faith in the Lord and ask him to save them, if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear, unless someone tells them?”

Is there something gnawing at your heart? Well, I think as I grow older this constant twinge in my heart is a reminder that time on this planet is a designated period. Then we aren’t. Now, the pain may not be very sharp like a knife or cut; but it is present and a consistent reminder that I must continue to be intentional, present, vocal, and representative of HIM. I fail quite a bit, but I am determined to keep pressing onward. Regardless to continue on in the press tried like a diamond in the fires that after it hits the right temperature it can be of GREAT Value once it is shined off and the light can go through it clearly to reflect the quality of this precious jewel. Yes, we are lights, and even greater we should be the medicine in this pandemic – a global pandemic that is crying out for answers, solutions, and deliverance. That’s where salt comes into play because without preservative, seasoning, and medicine is null and void. So, again I ask….HOW CAN? U.N.L.E.S.S.

Okay, here is the scenario: Your team is facing the end of their chances to keep hope alive for getting into the Super Bowl. Why? It is the 4th quarter, the opposing team is ahead by 3 points, and there are only 13 seconds left. TIME to change the channel and suck it up to they had a good run while it lasted! OH NO wait a minute don’t change the channel the Swan Song has been canceled. What do you mean in 10 seconds your team got all the way down to a manageable field goal opportunity. And just like that, we are in OT. Facing Fate you did not flinch, you did not flee, you did not fear! What you did was WIN in Overtime. So, I ask you the question, if you only had a few seconds to live or die, to win or lose, to course-correct; HOW WOULD YOU CHANGE THE NARRATIVE OF YOUR STORY?

There will be opportunities for us to see what kind of stuff we are made of when faced with similar challenges.  The question we must ask now is are we prepared to M.O.V.E.?

M = Make a decision quickly O = Organize your thoughts calmly V = Vie for the favorable Vision you want as your outcome E = Enable Success

I suggest the above word to just M.O.V.E. can position you and me into a place where the narrative of our story can change.

Abigail’s Story Part 1 - From the PITTS to the Palace (Study Blog Post) Link: https://thethankfulrevolution.com/2021/12/30/from-the-pitts-to-the-palace/

https://thethankfulrevolution.com/2022/01/16/part-2-abigails-story-p-r-a-a-y-s-where-are-my-receipts/

The last we broached the story of Abigail, it was determined, it is important to first identify your assignment and then secondly align with your assignment so that you could provide your receipts for accomplishing your assignment’s life journey purpose.

Building upon that foundation, it is remarkable that when dissecting Abigail’s C. P. R. + N. O.W. moment she truly met the challenge and “Understood her Assignment.”

The slang interpretation of “Understood the Assignment” basically means the following:

Someone who rises to the occasion and does an exceptional job displaying knowledge of how to present, act, or demonstrate excellence in a given scenario is my take on "Understanding the Assignment."

I uncovered a few key points of interest as indicated below.

Key Points to focus upon:

1. Anointed for the Assignment

2. Acknowledge the Assignment Crisis

3. Answered the Assignment Call

4. Aligned with the Assignment Directive

5. Ambassador to carry out the Assignment

6. Absolved once actively fulfilled the Assignment

7. Awarded & Ascended into the “More Abundant Life” all because Abigail attended to her Assignment

As we wrap up, I would ask all of us to dig deeper and ask ourselves: What is my motive and purpose for existing? Do I understand my unique assignment? Who am I most aligned with Abigail, Nabal, or David in this scenario and why? If I want to truly show forth some receipts of obtaining my calling then where are my own receipts? Finally, and most importantly, in order for me to obtain Life and that Life more abundantly, do I know Jesus Christ as Lord for myself and if I don't ascribe to Christ to be the Redeemer then why not ask Him to prove Himself personally to you - provide His own receipts.

Additionally, as we progress with achieving our personal goals, let us get honest and real with actively putting in the work to show forth the evidence of our growth. Time to not just talk about it BUT more importantly BE About IT! 


We must definitely pray at all times in any and every situation so that we can all obtain our personal N.O.W. moment. 

N.O.W. equals New-Beginnings is Our Witness! Let us all be healthier & happier in 2022. We can all begin anew with an active commitment to say YES to ourselves and no to all that would deter, distract, and delay our realization of life and that life more abundant this year. 


Love you much and thank you for taking the time to listen about Part 2 of Abigails story where we can all learn the importance to P.R.A.A.Y.S. and produce our personal receipts (evidence of the new-beginnings becoming and being a reality for our lives).


P.S. Remember, to help us navigate through this life and enjoy a new life that one being eternal with God our Father; we have to make a decision N.O.W. = New Beginnings is our Witness. Below provides a prayer that you can ask the Lord to become your Redeemer, Healer, Savior, your everything to help you on your personal life’s journey – even though it may be bitter sometimes with God He always sweetens your steps. Love you always! Miriam aka Essence of Myrrh Proverbs 3:5-8.

HERE I AM LORD, HELP ME TO CHANGE INTO THE PERSON YOU BIRTHED ME INTO EXISTENCE TO BECOME. ALLOW MY PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE (OUTLOOK AND THOUGHTS) BECOME NEW.

HELP ME TO VIEW YOU CLEARLY WITH A STEADFAST FOCUS! I ASK THAT ANY OBSTACLE THAT HAS HINDERED ME BEFORE OR IN MY FUTURE BE REMOVED SO THAT I CAN OBTAIN THE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE FOR ME TO LIVE IN PEACE, LOVE, STRENGTH, POWER, AND FEARLESSLY. THANK YOU FOR EQUIPPING ME WITH ALL THAT I NEED (HOLY SPIRIT AND JESUS AS MY SAVIOR) TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE THIS LIFE’S JOURNEY. I AM GRATEFUL, HUMBLED, AND WILLING TO BE YOUR FAITHFUL SERVANT. I AM HERE AND ASK FOR YOUR HELP EVERY SINGLE DAY. THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME AND PROVIDING ALL THAT I HAVE NEED FOR ACCORDING TO YOUR RICHES IN HEAVEN. AMEN (SO BE IT)!

Let’s Chat

Hi, I am Miriam S. Stevens, founder, and initiator of The Thankful Revolution. This movement came about after I had a traumatic life experience in October 2008. After I had hit rock bottom – job loss, income loss, and barely existing – I had an epiphany of sorts. God through the prayer of my son and a “cup of soup” allowed me to somehow get out of my funk and into a new way of thinking. Thus, The Thankful Revolution was birthed!
