Refined Not Ruined: Crowned in the Process

📲 Let’s Stay Connected! Family, I would love to hear from you! Whether today’s episode spoke to your heart, challenged you, or reminded you of who you are in Christ, text and share your thoughts. Your testimony could be the encouragement someone else needs! Your voice matters—let’s build this kingdom community together! 👑✨

Welcome back to Crowned Heirs Declared, where we set our minds on things above and walk boldly in our Kingdom authority. I’m your host, Tee Marie, and today’s episode is one I pray breathes life right into your situation.

This week, I’m anchored in Isaiah 43:2–3 and 18–19 (TPT), verses that reminded me:
You will walk through fire, but you won’t be burned. You will pass through rivers, but you won’t drown.
God is doing something new—and even when we don’t see it, He’s in control and intentional with every step.

Let me testify:

• March 3, 2024 – First YouTube video
• July – Created digital resources: a dream journal & a 30-day affirmation guide
• July 28 – Launched Self-Love Through Christ
• July 31 – Wrote my first book: The Little Girl in the Back
• August – Created lavender-scented anointing oil
• September – Officially launched my business and designed my logo
• February 2025 – Recorded my first podcast episode after deep quiet time
• February 22 – Relaunched Dare to Declare with new oil

Each step required fire, but I wasn’t ruined—I was refined.

And if you’re in your fire season right now, hear me:
You are somebody. You are seen. You are heard. And you are crowned in the process.

The company you keep matters.
Make sure your circle lifts you, not leaves you in the fire. Some will carry your mat (Mark 2:1–12); others may block your breakthrough. Choose wisely. The wrong voices can drown your discernment.

Also, God recently gave a name to the encouragement videos I’ve been doing:
Tee Speaks.
A confirmation of what He’s been birthing through me—speaking life into dark and broken places. Obedience doesn’t always make sense at first, but it always brings revelation in time.

Activation Journal Prompts:

• What am I walking through?
• What is God refining in me?
• What do I need to release to receive His best?

Declare this aloud:
“I am not ruined. I am being refined. I am crowned in the process.”
