Embracing Your Spiritual Identity and Divine Purpose

You were never a mistake. Even the years filled with fear, tears, and survival mode were part of God’s intentional design.

Some stories do not begin with clarity or comfort. They begin with tension, uncertainty, and unanswered questions. In this deeply moving episode of the Joy Inspired Podcast, Nikki Cruise sits down with Peta-Gay Roberts, a sacred warrior and marketplace mystic, to explore a life shaped by faith, resilience, and divine purpose. What unfolds is a testimony that reminds us God’s hand is present even in the moments that once felt like mistakes.

Peta-Gay’s journey is not polished or predictable. It is layered, holy, and deeply human. From a near-abortion story to fully embracing her identity as a sacred warrior and wealthy mystic, she shares how God has continually revealed purpose through pain and calling through chaos. Her story invites us to look back on our own lives with new eyes and ask whether the years we labeled as fear or failure were actually seasons of preparation.

You Were Never a Mistake

One of the most powerful truths echoed throughout this conversation is simple yet life-altering. You are not a mistake. Even when circumstances surrounding your birth, upbringing, or early life felt confusing or unwanted, God’s design was already at work.

Scripture reminds us that the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it. That includes your story, your lineage, and your becoming. What others may have intended for harm, God can and does redeem for good. As seen in Genesis 50:20, God has a way of repairing the breach and rewriting the narrative in ways only He can.

Identity Shapes How We Live and Lead

Peta-Gay speaks boldly about spiritual identity and how naming it changes everything. When you understand yourself as a sacred warrior or a wealthy mystic, you begin to move through life and business differently. Identity is not a label for performance, it is a foundation for alignment.

Too often, people allow childhood experiences or generational patterns to define their future. This conversation gently but firmly reminds us that while those experiences may inform us, they do not get to define us. God’s plan is larger than our past and more intentional than we often realize.

Spirit First, Soul Second

A key theme woven throughout the episode is the biblical understanding of spirit, soul, and body. According to 1 Thessalonians 5:23, we are designed with divine order. When the soul becomes misaligned, it can block the flow of God’s guidance. The soul acts as a gatekeeper, and when it submits to the spirit, clarity and peace begin to follow.

Peta-Gay explains that trusting your spirit to lead your soul is essential in walking out God’s will. This is not about ignoring emotions or logic, but about allowing God’s voice to be the primary influence. When spirit and soul work together, discernment sharpens and obedience becomes less burdensome.

Trusting the Unseen and Embracing Jesus Magic

There is a sacred invitation in this episode to trust what cannot always be explained. Peta-Gay refers to this as Jesus magic, the quiet miracles, divine insights, and unexpected doors that open when we trust God beyond what we can see.

Proverbs 3:5–6 calls us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding. This trust often requires releasing preconceived ideas about spirituality, about how God works, and about who He uses. When we loosen our grip on assumptions, we make room for wonder.

Seasons of Preparation and the Gift of Time

The conversation also touches on the significance of forty year seasons in Scripture, seen in passages like Numbers 14:34 and Exodus 24:18. These periods are often marked by testing, refinement, and preparation, not punishment.

What if the years of fears, tears, and gears were not wasted time, but sacred training ground. What if God was forming endurance, depth, and authority that could only be developed over time.

A Gentle Call to Reflection

This episode invites listeners to slow down and reflect honestly. It asks us to reconsider how we view our life experiences and whether we see them as obstacles or divine preparation. It encourages us to examine what labels or beliefs may be limiting our ability to fully embrace God’s design.

It also challenges us to notice how God communicates with us, sometimes through creative or mystical ways that do not always fit neatly into boxes. God is personal, and He speaks in ways that reach the heart.

Root Check Questions

As you sit with this message, consider these questions:

How do I view my life experiences, as obstacles or as divine preparation
In what ways am I allowing my spirit to guide my soul
What preconceived ideas might be holding me back from embracing God’s design
How do I recognize God’s mystical work in my everyday life
Where might God be inviting me to repair a breach in my self-belief or relationships

Final Encouragement

You were designed on purpose, with purpose. Your spiritual identity is not separate from your earthly mission, it fuels it. When you trust God’s unseen plan and allow your spirit to lead, alignment begins to replace confusion.

Be open to miracles, both quiet and bold. Be willing to see your story through heaven’s lens. The years of fears, tears, and gears may be the very seasons God used to prepare you for what comes next.

Stay open. Stay aligned. And trust that God is still writing your story.
