No More Tossing and Turning
A mindset change that made my nights shift radically!
Do you ever wake up in the early hours of the morning, staring at the ceiling, desperately trying to coax yourself back to sleep?
For years, I didn’t understand what was happening during those restless nights. I would fight to shut my mind off, hoping to flip a switch that would send me back to dreamland. Instead, my thoughts would drag me endlessly through a maze of the previous day’s events or the anxieties of the day ahead.
Then, a shift in perspective changed everything. I began to see these waking frustrations as opportunities to process my thoughts in the quiet stillness of the night. I realized these were divine appointments—moments where I could either cling to my frustration or change my mindset and listen for God’s whisper.
Job 33:15-18 tells us that God bends down to whisper in our ears through dreams and visions. Since visions can happen while we are awake, I thought, why not stop and listen to what the Father wants to say during these nighttime sessions?
While I can’t say I’m entirely in love with waking up early just yet, I’ve genuinely grown to appreciate these moments. I’m a work in progress, and I still occasionally find myself whining my way back to sleep. But ultimately, these nighttime encounters have opened my spirit to insights I simply miss during the day.
Recently, during one of these nighttime sessions with the Father, a clear thought rushed into my mind: a concept for a new book called The Issachar Report. This project digs deeper into the “New Era” we’ve entered. When I published my first book, An Introduction to the New Era, in 2018—after years of study, conversation, and prayer—I honestly thought my writings on the subject were complete. As it turns out, God had other plans!

During our time together, I’ll be sharing a sneak peek into the core themes of the manuscript, discussing the transitions and flow of the new book, and exploring the leadership paradigms it addresses.
