Reed’s Reads of Wisdom Wednesdays™: The Village of Memphis: Discovering Destiny in a World on the Brink

What if you woke up one day and everything you thought was just a nightmare... turned out to be real?

What if the dreams that haunted your sleep were actually God’s whispers of your true purpose—calling you to a mission greater than yourself?

In Chapter 4: "The Village of Memphis" of Book I of S.O.L.A.D.™: Soldiers of Light Aginst Darkness™, Kevin and Juanita find themselves transported to a world unlike anything they’ve known—a world suffocating under the weight of darkness, where memories are fragments and evil is not just an idea, but a visible force stalking the innocent. Yet in this broken world, they find a flicker of hope—a hidden sanctuary called the Village of Memphis.

And that’s where everything begins to shift.

A Place of Refuge—and Revelation

The Village of Memphis isn’t just a safe zone. It’s a spiritual incubator, a divine outpost, a place where weary souls find clarity and warriors find their callings. Hidden behind shimmering gates and wrapped in divine protection, it’s a place where destiny gets activated.

But let’s be honest: walking into a calling doesn’t mean you feel ready. Kevin and Juanita didn’t. And maybe you don’t either.

Maybe you’re in your own “Village of Memphis” moment—where God has brought you to a place of revelation and you’re being told, “You were sent here for such a time as this.”

But like them, you’re thinking: “Me? Why me?”

God Doesn't Call the Qualified—He Qualifies the Called

Kevin and Juanita weren’t superheroes. No suits. No powers. Just two young people with a past full of questions and a future wrapped in mystery.

But their journey reminds us of this powerful truth: You don’t have to be extraordinary to be chosen—you just have to be willing.

God equips. God empowers. God prepares. And sometimes, that preparation starts with discomfort. With relocation. With the unraveling of everything familiar… so that He can reveal what’s been buried inside you all along.

Your Dreams Are Clues, Not Coincidences

In this chapter, the line between dream and reality blurs. What Kevin once dismissed as nightmares becomes prophetic. What Juanita silently carried in fear becomes confirmation. And what seemed like a random accident reveals itself as divine orchestration.

That’s a message for us all: the strange dreams, the heavy impressions, the things we can’t explain—God may be trying to awaken us to something bigger than ourselves.

Don’t ignore the whispers. Don’t shrug off the signs.

Reed’s Wisdom: You don’t have to feel ready to be chosen. You just have to say yes.

📖 Scripture: Esther 4:14 – “Perhaps you were born for such a time as this.”

✅ Declaration: My fear will not stop my faith. I rise, even when I feel unqualified.

🛡️ Takeaway: The greatest warriors are often the ones who never saw it coming.

There’s Purpose in the Unfamiliar

When you step into new territory, it’s easy to want to retreat. But what if the strange place you're in is actually where you're meant to be transformed?

In the Village of Memphis, Kevin and Juanita are introduced to a higher calling. They’re told they are not just visitors—they are answers to a desperate prayer.

What if you are the answer to someone else’s cry?What if your presence in a dry place is the beginning of healing rain?

The World May Be Dark, But You Were Sent to Shine

Let’s not sugarcoat it: the world Kevin and Juanita enter is broken. Crumbling bridges, barren landscapes, cities swallowed in silence and pain. Demons attacking and devouring humans.

But the darkest moments are when the light shines the brightest.

The stakes are higher than Kevin and Juanita ever imagined. This isn’t just a mission—it’s a war. Families have been slaughtered. Heroes have fallen. Villages have been overrun. Only Wiseman J and Jeff remain from the original rebellion. The others were torn apart—physically, emotionally, spiritually.

Now, two seemingly ordinary young people must rise up and carry the torch.

And though Kevin smiles and says, “Then when do we start?”, Juanita is trembling. Afraid. Uncertain.

But even in her fear, she stays.

And that’s what this chapter is all about—it’s not just a setting, it’s a summons. It’s God saying, “I haven’t given up on this world, and I’m sending someone to remind them of that truth.”

Maybe that someone... is you.

Reed’s Wisdom: You don’t have to feel ready to be chosen. You just have to say yes.

📖 Scripture: Esther 4:14 – “Perhaps you were born for such a time as this.”

✅ Declaration: My fear will not stop my faith. I rise, even when I feel unqualified.

🛡️ Takeaway: The greatest warriors are often the ones who never saw it coming.

REED’S WISDOM:

✅ You don’t need all the answers to say yes to the assignment.

✅ God reveals just enough to get you moving. Trust the rest to Him.

✅ Your purpose may not begin in comfort—but it will always lead to impact.

✅ If you’re still here, it means your assignment is still active.

📖 Scriptures for Reflection:

• Isaiah 6:8 (NIV): “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’”

  
  

• Romans 8:28 (KJV): “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

  
  

• Esther 4:14 (NLT): “…Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”

Final Thought: The Village Is Only the Beginning

The gates of the Village of Memphis aren’t the finish line—they’re the launching pad. They’re the doorway to discovery, courage, sacrifice, and destiny.

Kevin and Juanita didn’t choose this world. But it chose them.

And when you stop running from the unknown and start walking in the calling—everything changes.

So the next time you feel out of place, under-qualified, or confused about where you are…

Remember: maybe you’re exactly where God needs you to be.
