Hey there Beautiful Souls! Welcome to Day 22 of "Chaos to Clarity: Hearing God When Life is Loud" - a 30-day transformational journey on The Holy Shift Devotionals Podcast with Desiree Day.

WEEK 4 BEGINS: YOUR 100-FOLD TESTIMONY

Today kicks off the final week with the FULL story Desiree has been referencing throughout the series. This is the complete 100-fold return testimony in three parts.

Part 1 - From Worry to Action: Desiree was worried about finances. Her new salary would be HALF what she'd been making. Instead of spiraling in worry, she took action - set up her budget for the rest of 2025, did the math, made the plan. She became relieved: they could take care of all they needed. She praised God. And because she was obedient - took action instead of being consumed in worry - God provided one more check with her old salary. A bonus she wasn't expecting.

Part 2 - The $5 to $542: That weekend she wasn't feeling well. Laid down. Read in devotional: "Do it anyway through the pain. Take action." So she started packing closets. Found 5 single dollar bills. Thought God blessed her for casino jackpot. Got to casino - machine she'd played 10+ years was GONE. God removed it. Put $5 in car, forgot about them. Two weeks later: homeless man on side of road. She judged him. God said "GIVE ALL 5 DOLLARS." She obeyed. Two days later: $542 check from doctor - overpayment from almost 2 years prior she had no idea about.

Part 3 - The $10 to $500+: Ten days later: $10 bill in her bag she'd been carrying. Saw two young girls walking - teenager and 5-year-old. God said "Give them the $10." Didn't know who they were or what they needed. Pulled over, gave it: "I don't know why but God told me to give this to you." Older sister almost cried: "God bless you." Two days later: Check over $500 from lawsuit she had NO idea was happening or that she was part of.

God provided every time she obeyed. The real reward? Seeing God moving WITH her and IN her. Knowing she's held in His heart and hands. The money confirmed it, but the relationship is the treasure.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• Mark 10:29-30 - "Will FAIL to receive 100 times as much" (WILL not might)

• The three-part progression: Worry → Action → Provision

• Why obedience comes BEFORE provision, not after

• The $15 given, $1,000+ received pattern

• Why the real 100-fold return isn't the money - it's experiencing God's presence

• How provision confirms God is WITH you, FOR you, taking care of you

• Why 100-fold return is relational, not transactional

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Mark 10:29-30 - "No one who has left... for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age."

YOUR HOLY SHIFT ACTION: Ask God what worry you're consumed in that He wants turned into action. Take action instead of spiraling. Obey what He's telling you to give/do. Watch for 100-fold return over the next week.

Hey there Beautiful Souls! Welcome to Day 20 of "Chaos to Clarity: Hearing God When Life is Loud" - a 30-day transformational journey on The Holy Shift Devotionals Podcast with Desiree Day.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN GOD TELLS YOU TO DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES EVERYONE THINK YOU'VE LOST YOUR MIND?

Today's bold episode tackles when obedience looks crazy from the outside.

Desiree shares a powerful story from 2016-2017. She'd been working at the same place for 12 years, building her career from high school into a management position. But she and her boss were arguing constantly about how things should be done.

June 8, 2016: She had a moment thinking about going on the road, traveling, making a documentary. It felt liberating. She saw the writing on the wall: I have to get out of here. So she declared: Within a year, I will not be working here anymore.

May 1, 2017: An opportunity came to travel and create content. It meant leaving all responsibilities, everyone she was caring for, the security of a paycheck. She told her boss she'd leave at the end of the month.

June 8, 2017: Exactly one year after declaring it, she was on the road. Excited for the unknown. At the time she didn't know God was still with her - but looking back now, she sees it clearly.

She traveled for 5 weeks. Things didn't go as envisioned but taught valuable lessons. Her mom was supportive, understood the road brings clarity. But other people kept asking: "Are you making money? What are you going to do?"

Here's how she knows God had her: Every time they were about to run out of money, God provided exactly $60. Not $100, not $50 - sixty dollars. The PERFECT amount to get to the next place. Every single time.

After 5 weeks she returned to Vegas, dabbled in entrepreneurship, drove for Lyft for 9 months. She learned: not a full-time road person, values a consistent place to sleep, bathroom/shower are luxuries she doesn't take for granted. Lessons she still carries in 2026.

From the outside it looked crazy, irresponsible, foolish. But God had her the whole time.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• The power of 1 Corinthians 1:25 - "The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom"

• Desiree's story of quitting her job after 12 years with no solid plan

• The June 8, 2016 declaration and the June 8, 2017 fulfillment

• How God provided exactly $60 every time - the perfect amount to get to the next place

• Why people's questions don't invalidate God's instructions

• What she learned on the road that still impacts her in 2026

• Why you don't owe anyone an explanation for your obedience

• How God's "crazy" instructions lead to breakthrough "smart" advice never could

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 1:25 - "For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength."

YOUR HOLY SHIFT ACTION FOR TODAY: Ask God what He's been telling you to do that looks crazy. Write down all the doubting questions people ask. Cross them out. Write: "The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom." Then obey even if it looks crazy.

Hey there Beautiful Souls! Welcome to Day 19 of "Chaos to Clarity: Hearing God When Life is Loud" - a 30-day transformational journey on The Holy Shift Devotionals Podcast with Desiree Day.

WHAT IF THE BIG BREAKTHROUGH IS WAITING ON THE SMALL OBEDIENCE YOU KEEP DISMISSING?

Today's episode reveals a powerful PATTERN you might have missed over the last two weeks of stories: Every big obedience was preceded by small obediences that trained Desiree for it.

Over the past episodes, Desiree has shared multiple stories. Some dramatic, some small:

• The $10 to the sisters

• Getting up when the alarm goes off

• Praying in the chaos instead of leaving the room

• The "God speak through me" prayer before conversations

These might seem like small, insignificant obediences. But here's what happened:

The $10 trained her for moving to Missouri - both were obedience without understanding. Give when God says give, move when God says move, even when it doesn't make sense.

The 5 AM alarm trained her for launching the business - both were obedience when God says NOW not someday. Stop negotiating, stop hitting snooze on God's instructions.

Praying in chaos trained her for the Daniel Fast in chaos - both were bringing God INTO hard moments, not waiting for perfect conditions.

The "speak through me" prayer trained her for hard conversations - both were surrendering control and trusting God to lead in the moment.

Every BIG obedience came AFTER she practiced the SMALL ones. The pattern is clear: Small obediences train you for big obediences.

Jesus said it in Luke 16:10: "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much."

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• The power of Luke 16:10 - Faithful with little = trusted with much

• The pattern connecting small daily obediences to life-changing assignments

• How the $10 story trained for moving to Missouri

• How the 5 AM alarm trained for launching the business NOW

• How praying in chaos trained for the Daniel Fast during chaos

• How the "speak through me" prayer trained for difficult conversations

• Why you can't skip small things and jump to big things

• What small prompting you might be dismissing that's actually training for something bigger

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Luke 16:10 - "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much."

YOUR HOLY SHIFT ACTION FOR TODAY: Ask God: "What small thing have You been asking me to do that I keep dismissing?" Then ask: "What big obedience might this be training me for?" Then DO IT today. Don't dismiss it as "too small to matter." The big breakthrough you're praying for is waiting on the other side of the small obedience you keep dismissing.
