God, This Don’t Feel Like the Vision You Showed Me

I never spoke about the moments of my prophetic path where my faith truly felt like betrayal.

The visions would bring all of the peace, the clarity, and divine confirmation that made me say yes. But then after the vision, I’d look around me and think, “God, this doesn't feel like what YOU showed me.”

It appeared that I was wrestling with doubt but from a spiritual warfare perspective, it was actually intentional confusion. That my friends is the number one tactic of a thieving low entity that cannot allow your truth to manifest. When you walk with vision, you expect alignment instantly. I expected breakthroughs, and experienced more breakdowns. I learned during that time that every prophetic promise comes with a process that doesn’t always look established while it’s unfolding.

Here’s what I want you to understand:

1. The Vision Is Real And The Process Is Just Revealing

What God shows you in the spirit is pure. It’s unfiltered truth. But what you live through after that vision is where all the human layers must get peeled back such as your fears, attachments, and timelines. I call this the purification process of the vision. The process doesn’t distort the promise as we think but it develops you to hold the anointing that is needed.

It’s easy to forget that the same Creator who gives the glimpse is also the one who governs the growing pains & process. Sometimes the Creator lets the journey contradict the vision just long enough to strengthen your faith muscle.

2. Prophecy Doesn’t Exempt You From Process

The promise is the preview.

When you carry a prophetic gift, you often see it before you’re shaped for it. That’s the part that hurts and can be spiritually difficult to break through. That in-between where your current circumstances mock the revelation received. However, what looks like a contradiction is really spiritual calibration of your character being stretched to match the calling.

You only saw it early because you must be anchored before accelerating in that realm.

3. The Hardest Part Is Watching It Not Match

Let’s be real: I started questioning if I even heard God right. The people change. The place shifts. The timing drags on. I was left many times holding a word that felt way more heavy than heavenly.

But our Creator rarely shows the construction site, just the finished home. So when life starts feeling like demolition, remember what looks like loss is often a layout.

4. You’re Not Being Played But Prepared

It’s okay to be honest with God about the frustration. I did often lol!  Prophetic people often think faith means silence, but real faith has tears, questions, and moments of, “Lord, are You sure?”

Even Jesus had a “this don’t feel like the vision” moment in Gethsemane. You’re not crazy for questioning what doesn’t align. You’re just growing into the maturity that can hold the promise. The vision still stands however you must surrender to the purpose. For I know the plans I have for you!

5. The Vision Still Holds Weight

When God shows you something, it’s already written. What’s being rewritten is you. Every delay, disappointment, and detour is fine-tuning your discernment. So when the manifestation finally comes, you’ll know how to handle it with grace and authority & not your ego. The vision hasn’t changed. But you will though.

And that’s exactly what God needs.

So yes, it may not feel like the vision you were shown but maybe it’s part of a divine layout that you’re not meant to witness yet.

Think of this chapter less about what God promised & more of who you’re becoming while being built. 

Journal Reflections:

• Where in my life does it currently “not feel like the vision”?
  
  
• What parts of me might God be developing through this delay?
  
  
• How can I honor the process without resenting it?
  
  
• What truth has God already confirmed that I can anchor myself in today?
