A R I S E // My 2019 Manifesto by Kat Harris
LISTEN NOW: ITUNES // SPOTIFY // STITCHER
It’s faint, yet distinct.
The whisper.
An exhale of relief radiates throughout.
The soft breeze rustles your matted hair and tear stained cheeks.
A stirring unfolds.
Finally, it is here.
ARISE.
A new day.
Dawn is on her way.
The sun grasps for the horizon.
Yet, the battle wages on.
Taunting you from every angle.
Shame backing you into that old familiar corner,
battered and bruised you go.
Submit to the shadows, fear beckons.
Weariness clothes your soul.
Exhaustion clings to your heels.
Yet I tell still you: Arise.
Failure
Rejection
Isolation
Suffocation
Pain, heartache, struggle, addiction…
Fear
They are not your destiny.
ARISE.
Awaken hope.
Your portion is peace.
Your portion is breakthrough
Upward you go!
You’re not chained to the corner—you never were.
ARISE.
Restoration is here.
Reconciliation is now.
Rebirth has begun.
ARISE.
You are on assignment.
You are FREE.
You are supported.
You are safe.
ARISE.
It’s time.
Renewed.
Come.
Step into the light.
The outpouring of peace is waiting to radiate upon you.
ARISE.
Rub the sleep from your eyes.
It’s time to go to a higher place.
ARISE.
Courageous one, You belong here.
No more waiting in the shadows.
You are being led—
moment by moment,
breath by breath.
ARISE.
When you move with your Maker there is ease—
there is rest.
Your Creator is never far off.
Together you pave a new trail—a new legacy for the generations
bursting with hope, wholeness, glory, and connection.
Somewhere between the end of self and the beginning of surrender
hope revives your weary soul.
Each step forward is untamed territory.
With power and authority claim your victory.
Dawn awakens and breathes life.
It’s a new day.
ARISE.
ARISE.
ARISE.
