The Wases and the Ises (Your was and Your Is)

(Yes, I know it’s not grammatically correct. But stay with me.)

Before the grammar police come knocking, let me just say: I know it’s “was” and “is,” not “wases” and “ises.” But when you’ve lived long enough, you realize —you don’t just have a past… You’ve got wases. Who you was. The old lost sinner that was you. Those moments when you sinned, failed and didn't listen.

And you’re not just becoming one thing —you’ve got ises. Moments. Mindsets. Marks of who you are now, and who you’re becoming.

So give me grace on the grammar. Because this isn’t an English lesson — it’s a spiritual one.

Own Your Was

Your was is real. Don’t pretend it wasn’t. Don’t bury it or rename it. The was tells the truth —About where you’ve been,What you believed,And who you let lead you.

Some of you was angry. Some of you was lost. Some of you was addicted to approval, porn, success, alcohol, applause. Some of you was liars. Some of you was silent. Some of you was religious but empty. Some of you was boys in a man’s world.

Your was may be different than mine. But we’ve all got some. And acknowledging the truth of your was is how you stop being ruled by it.

Walk in Your Is

Here’s the better truth: You are a new creation.

(Re)formed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Not fixed — formed.

Different from the inside out.

You was ruled by fear. But you is walking in courage.

You was hiding. But you is standing up.

You was striving. But you is resting in your identity.

You was ashamed. But you is forgiven and free.

This is the beauty of grace.

You don’t earn your is.

You receive it.

You steward it.

You agree with it.

You live into it.

But Don't Miss This:

The move from was to is isn’t automatic. It’s intentional.

It takes surrender. It takes agreement with the Father. It takes walking with the Holy Spirit. You say:

“Father, that was who I was… but this is who You say I am now.”

And then you walk it out.

Not perfectly. But persistently.

So, Let Me Ask You:

What’s your was? Have you been honest about it?

And what’s your is? Are you owning it — or just admiring it from a distance?

Because in the end… It’s not your was that defines you. And it’s not what your potential will be either...

...It’s your is. That’s the man your son sees. That’s the man your wife knows. That’s the man the world experiences.

Let the Holy Spirit do the work. Let the Father name your is... And then, live it like a son.

It’s never too late to be a son.And it’s never too late to let your “is” be rewritten by the Father.
