Have you ever prayed for financial breakthrough, declared God’s promises, tithed, fasted — and still felt like money slipped through your fingers?

What if the real issue isn’t your faith… but your identity?

Recently, God gave me a dream that exposed the spiritual root behind financial struggle in a way I had never seen before. It wasn’t about numbers, budgets, or bank accounts. It was about a mindset — a spiritual agreement — I didn’t know I was still carrying.

The Dream That Exposed Everything

In the dream, I was negotiating prices, trying to get discounts, lowering my expectations, even trying to get something for free.

And demons started laughing — not because I was broke, but because I thought like someone who had nothing.

That mockery revealed the truth:​
You can’t receive what your identity is repelling.

• Poverty isn’t always external lack.
• Sometimes it’s internal agreements.

That dream revealed something that I didn't even realize was going on in the spiritual realm. In the past my prayers looked and sounded like I was always pleading and begging for a financial breakthrough...even thought I tithed, I gave first month seeds, I gave end of the year seeds...I gave pastoral seed and still..that big break I was looking for never came.

I'd pray for financial breakthrough like it was going out of style, and always wondered why every time I got a paycheck, the money would be far spent before I could even understand what was happening.

What that dream also exposed was how I was trying to hustle my way to a deal.

Now, everyone loves a deal, but in the dream it was like I was given one price, and wasn't happy with it, and wanted it lowered. I was repelling provision and was doing it in a way that seemed needy.

This is Why We Repel What God Sends

God showed me that:

• Poverty is a system
• Lack is a spiritual mindset
• Striving is rooted in fear
• Negotiating from insecurity reveals identity wounds
• Repelling happens when your heart cannot carry what God is releasing

Just like the widow in 2 Kings 4, you can have oil in your house and still feel empty—because you don’t recognize the value of what’s already in your hands.

That widow wasn’t lacking oil.
She was lacking perspective.

When Elisha asked her, “What do you have in your house?” she dismissed it at first:

That word except reveals the identity crisis.
She saw what she had as insignificant—too small to matter, too common to be powerful.

And that’s how many of us live.

We pray for provision while overlooking what God has already placed within us. We ask for more while undervaluing what’s present.
We feel empty not because we have nothing—but because we’ve agreed with a lie that what we carry isn’t enough.

The miracle didn’t begin when the oil multiplied.
The miracle began when her identity shifted—when she stopped seeing herself as a desperate widow and started responding as a steward.

Poverty isn’t the absence of resources.
It’s the absence of vision rooted in identity.

Once she recognized the value of what God had already given her, multiplication followed—and the system broke.

But when identity comes into alignment, the oil doesn’t have to be chased.

It flows.

Because provision follows alignment, not striving.

Our Identity Must Shift Before Provision Can Flow

Provision follows identity.

"Blessed and worthy of praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ," always.

When God shows you who you are:

• your posture changes
• your decisions shift
• you stop apologizing for your calling
• you stop negotiating for what is already yours
• you begin to operate from daughterhood, not desperation

That morning after I woke up from the dream and wrote it down. I began to journal and ask the Lord where was poverty hidden in my life? He revealed that it was hidden throughout my bloodline and that because I am a new creation that I needed to reject the lie, because that was no longer my truth.

The truth is, I am a Daughter of the King, I am Chosen and I am Beloved. And now armed with the truth, I went into action: not that screaming from the top of my lungs, or waving my hands in the air action.

I broke the agreement with lack, declared my position as a Daughter, and stood on the promises of God. Ephesians 1:3 being one of them.

And what I do know is this: once I broke agreements with the lie and aligned with who I am in Christ Jesus, my nervous system had to come into agreement with God’s truth. That’s what the Word of God does—it realigns you to truth and begins the process of renewing the mind and rewiring the brain.

This is explored in the book "Switch on the Brain" by Dr. Caroline Leaf, which emphasizes "capturing every thought" to replace lies with truth —literally creating new neural pathways that support health, peace, and clarity.

But this isn’t just science.
It’s discipleship.

When identity is restored, alignment follows.
And when alignment happens, everything else begins to settle into its rightful place.

Becoming a Magnet for Provision

In the dream, God showed me something sobering:
I wasn’t attracting provision — I was repelling it.

Not because I wasn’t praying.
Not because I lacked faith.
But because my identity posture wasn’t aligned.

Provision responds to alignment.
When identity is healed, provision is drawn to you like a magnet.

Because wealth isn’t something you chase —it’s something you inherit.

Here’s how you begin shifting from repelling to attracting:

1. Let God confront the mindset, not just the money. Ask Him to reveal where you’ve been thinking like a servant trying to earn… instead of a daughter learning how to receive.
2. Break agreements with lack at the root. Poverty is not just a financial issue — it’s a belief system. Renounce the internal narratives that say: “There’s never enough.” “I always struggle.” “This is just how my life goes.”

Replace them with truth: My Father is my source. I lack nothing in Him. Provision follows obedience.

1. Honor what’s already in your house. Just like the widow, multiplication didn’t start when she received something new — it started when she valued what she already had.

Ask God: What have I minimized that You want to multiply? What oil have I been overlooking?

1. Align your nervous system with trust. Provision doesn’t flow where fear governs. Peace is not passive — it’s a signal of alignment. Slow down. Listen. Obey the small instructions.
2. Stay positioned, not pressed. Magnets don’t chase metal — they draw it by nature. When you live from your true identity, provision responds naturally.

This is how inheritance works. This is how the Kingdom functions. And this is what changes everything.

Final Encouragement

Provision doesn’t respond to pressure — it responds to alignment. Once I broke agreement with the lie and realigned with who I am in Christ, everything began to shift from the inside out. My thinking changed. My nervous system settled. My capacity to receive expanded. What I stopped chasing began to find me. Because wealth isn’t something you strive for in the Kingdom — it’s something you steward as a daughter. And when identity is healed, provision follows naturally.

If this stirred something in you, let it. You’re not behind, broken, or disqualified. You’re awakening. God is not asking you to do more — He’s inviting you to come back into alignment with who you’ve always been. Take a breath. Listen again. What’s already in your house is enough for this next season. As you choose identity over striving and obedience over fear, you’ll find that provision, peace, and clarity aren’t far off — they’re already moving toward you.

ABOUT ME: From Survival Mode to Spirit-Led Identity ​ Hi, I’m Idina—a Kingdom entrepreneur, Holy Spirit-led identity coach, and voice of truth called to help women heal, rediscover their God-given identity, and build with clarity and excellence. I need to tell you something honestly: It wasn’t always like this. The clarity, confidence, and flow you see in me today — I didn’t start here. For years, I lived in survival mode. I prayed but doubted myself. I served everyone but ignored my own needs. ​ I pushed, performed, hustled… hoping something would finally shift. But nothing did — because I was building my life backwards. I had faith. I had vision. I had gifting. But I didn’t have identity. And without identity, everything felt heavy, scattered, and out of rhythm. Then the shift came — not all at once, but layer by layer. I started trusting the small whisperings. I obeyed before I understood. I showed up even when I felt unqualified. I walked by faith and spoke anyway. And slowly, the fruit began to grow inside me first: ​ My mind became clear. My voice returned. My confidence settled. My spirit aligned. My dreams awakened. My identity spoke louder than my history. ​ That’s when the Get Realigned: Oil to Flow™ framework was born —not from theory, but from my transformation. ​ Now I help women do what I had to learn the hard way: Stop building from fear. Start building from identity. ​ Let God realign everything from the inside out. And when you do? Fruit follows. Peace follows. Clarity follows. Provision unfolds. Purpose awakens. Life gets realigned. Not by striving —but by surrendering into who God says you are. ​
