Pray & Proceed

Lady Malissa Davis steps into the pulpit at Collective Community Church (C3) to deliver a powerful word on strategic movement and prayer while Pastor Damon ministers in Phoenix.

This message challenges conventional ideas of strength, teaching us the core principle: You don't need to force when you've got favor.

Key Takeaways:

• Meekness is NOT Weakness: Lady Malissa emphasizes that meekness is a fruit of the spirit, defined as strength under control. It requires inner strength and restraint, opposing arrogance, aggression, and impulsiveness.

• The Danger of Bad Timing: We often make plans, but acting outside of God’s timing leads to unnecessary warfare. Like Sarah, who created conflict by forcing a solution instead of waiting on God's promise, rushing results in a mess.

• Stop Canceling Your Prayers: A double-minded person will never receive anything from God. We must guard against laughing inwardly at God’s promises or speaking words of death over the situations we pray for.

• Winning Differently: Learn from the wisdom of Queen Esther. Despite being queen and having the power to make an immediate demand, she was strategic. She submitted to counsel, prayed, fasted for three days, and waited patiently for the perfect time to make her request.

• Power in Restraint: Biblical examples like Jesus (who chose submission over calling down angels) and Moses (described as the meekest man on earth, despite leading millions of complaining Israelites) prove that humility requires immense strength.

Lady Malissa encourages listeners to pause, take a breath, and ask God what to do, choosing gentle power over "crashing out" in the flesh.
