Transition

Friend,

There are seasons in life where God begins to shift things, not just around us, but within us.

In July of 2025, God led my family and me to move into my husband’s parents’ home. We came from a house with plenty of space, but within that space, there were cracks, places where the enemy found entry. There was disruption of peace, deception, lies, and even division. But because God is strategic and intentional in everything He does, He used a natural situation to produce a spiritual breakthrough and elevation.

Now, I find myself in a place where I can no longer walk around or ignore certain things like I once could. In a smaller space, everything is exposed. What I used to step over, I now have to confront.

And the truth is, when you make an intentional decision to face what you once ignored, you are also making a decision to be healed, set free, and delivered.

In this season of transition, there has been an increase in my faith and maturity. Because when you are forced to acknowledge and confront the “giants” in your life, growth is the only outcome, if you allow God to work.

David said in 1 Samuel 17 that he would face Goliath not in his own strength, but in the name of the Lord. The same is true for us. The giants we face are not meant to defeat us, but to reveal what God has already placed within us. If we approach what God is doing with the right mindset, we can stand on Romans 8:28, knowing that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.

Nothing is wasted.

A spiritual transition is a profound and often challenging in-between season of internal change, where a person shifts their mindset, beliefs, and way of living. It requires letting go of old habits, patterns, and ways of thinking, and choosing to align with God’s will.

The Bible reminds us in Romans 12:2 to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” That transformation doesn’t happen without process.

Transition is a process. It is the movement from one place to another, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. And it is necessary in your walk with Christ because it produces evidence that the Holy Spirit is working within you.

As I reflect on who I used to be, and I look at the woman God is building now, I know it was only the love of God that rescued me from a life of brokenness.

As it says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.” It was His love that picked me up and turned my life around. God’s love is indescribable and unmatched. No one can love you the way God does, so don’t expect them to.

I want to encourage you:

Confront the giants in your life.

Face the things you’ve been avoiding.

Because on the other side of that confrontation is healing, freedom, and deliverance.

You are capable of more than you think, but more importantly, with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).

You are not stuck. You are in transition.

And God is using this season to grow you.

Keep going.

Walking this journey with you, Chantel Emanuel

Healed. Set Free. Delivered.
