BUTTERFLIES in a World of Caterpillars

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
Isaiah 43:19 NIVUK

There are moments in our journey when heaven breaks in, not with a crash, but with an unfolding. Two and a half years ago, we watched a miracle quietly blossom. Two years ago, the keys were placed into our hands. After a long, wearying season of divine delay, suddenly… it happened. The new thing emerged, not by striving, but by the gentle, sovereign unfolding of God.

I believe many are standing in that same holy moment. You can feel it—like the faint rustle of a curtain just before dawn. God is shifting His people from forcing outcomes to letting things unfold. He is bringing new purposes you never dreamed of, new alignments, new places, new ideas, and new moves of Kingdom life. Heaven is busy—quietly, powerfully—preparing an UNFOLDING.

But every divine unfolding requires a divine unravelling. To embrace the new, we’ve had to lay down the old. We’ve dismantled what was familiar. We’ve stepped away from the comfortable landscape of “how it’s always been.” Like Abraham leaving his homeland for a land yet unseen, we’ve ventured forward with only a whisper from God. It’s stretching. It’s shaking. It’s profoundly disorienting.

And if you’ve been the herald of the new—the Town Crier of fresh vision—you know the loneliness of that road. Some prefer Egypt’s predictable slavery to the wild freedom of a Promised Land. Prophets of change often feel out of place, crying transformation in wilderness places. If that’s you—keep going. Your voice matters in the transition.

Those who fully embrace God’s transformations often feel like butterflies surrounded by caterpillars. We come from the same family, yet see from different angles, speak a different language, carry a desire to fly while others cling to the ground. Don’t mistake that tension for failure—it’s proof of your metamorphosis.

A wave of prophetic innovation is erupting across the Church. God is unfolding things differently this time. Less about five-year strategies, more about the next step. Less blueprint, more obedience. Less pushing, more perceiving. The Spirit is inviting us to trust Him in the slow reveal, to walk forward with wings still drying in His presence.

And hear this clearly: you are not alone. Don’t slip into Elijah’s cave, thinking you’re the only one contending for the new. Thousands are stirring with the same holy dissatisfaction. These days—these shaking, stretching, beautiful days—are the ones many of us have prayed and prophesied into for decades.

The turbulence of transition will soon give way to clarity, courage, and wonder.

So keep walking. Keep believing. Keep unfolding.

These are days of holy wonder. 🦋

Believe & Confess Meditation & Declaration

God is doing something new in me, even when it feels hidden and uncomfortable. I will not fear the process, for transformation often happens in quiet places. “See, I am doing a new thing; now it springs up—do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:19). Like a caterpillar entering the cocoon, I release the familiar and trust the work of God in the unseen. What once sustained me will not define my future. I am being transformed, not diminished. “We are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18). I declare that the waiting is not wasted and the breaking is not the end. God is forming wings where there once were limits. “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles” (Isaiah 40:31).
