Craig Cooney: A Time of Recalibration
Aug 3, 2025
Intro from Craig Cooney: Over the past few weeks, the Lord has been speaking to me about "recalibration." I have also been experiencing it in my own life. Maybe you have felt it—a divine disquiet, a tension within, and a sense that something is just... off. You haven't rebelled, but you've drifted a little. You've been faithful, but you've felt frustrated. You've been moving, but the motion hasn't produced momentum. There's a growing agitation, because you know there is more. And you're longing to step into it. As we continue through the second half of 2025, I believe that things are going to shift for you. The Father is going to bring changes in your positioning, priorities, and even purpose. Hope deferred will become promises fulfilled. You will receive fresh clarity and divine direction. A renewed hunger for the things of God will grow inside you. A new anointing of the Holy Spirit will rest upon you. A supernatural strengthening will empower you. Surrender to the loving hands of the Father. He is so precise and intentional in how He is moving things in your life. But He can only do that as you partner with Him. Be ruthless with distractions and anything that would hinder you. It's time to stop walking around the same mountain. Advance. Cross over. Take new ground. This is a time of recalibration. This Is a Time of Recalibration
You have found yourself expending energy in directions that no longer yield true fruit or fulfillment. You have lost interest in things you once loved. It's disorientating and confusing. In some cases, even your zeal for the things of God seems to have dissipated. You feel unsettled with things that once satisfied. You're longing for something with more substance. This is a time of recalibration. You Are Being Fine-Tuned Like a master craftsman fine-tuning a precious timepiece, the Father is making precise adjustments to your rhythm, routines, and relationships. The Spirit is sweeping through the hidden corners of your heart, exposing the subtle deviations, the compromises, and the distractions that have pulled you away from the path ordained for you. He is gently turning the compass of your heart back to true north—His presence and perfect will. A Disruption for Divine Order It might feel like disruption, but it's divine alignment. This is not a time of punishment but of precision. This is a "pruning" and removal of the remaining debris of the last season, a stripping back of anything that would sabotage your future. He is pulling up the roots of dead routines and misaligned relationships. He is realigning your desires with His heart, your plans with His purpose, and your relationships with His design. The Lord is closing doors that no longer serve you and unlocking doors of opportunity that you could not have opened on your own. Where you have walked in circles or felt stuck, He is opening new pathways.
The static in the spirit realm that has interfered with your ability to hear His voice clearly is being silenced. The fog is lifting. Where confusion and weariness have clouded your vision, He will begin to bring clarity, direction, and renewed purpose. Old cycles are being broken and new rhythms are being released. Assignments are being renewed with divine strategy and heavenly timing. This recalibration may feel uncomfortable at times, as old patterns are disrupted and familiar comforts are challenged. But God is not bringing chaos—He is bringing order. Patterns, priorities, and even dreams are being sifted through the Father's loving hands. You're being drawn into a deeper place. What was sufficient in the last season will not sustain you in the next. Yield to the Process This recalibration process requires your surrender. Yield. Listen. Adjust. Those who allow Him to do His work will emerge with greater clarity, deeper authority, and unprecedented favor. For now your surroundings might appear the same, but something inside you is changing. The second half of 2025 will look different than the first half. Watch and see, for He is bringing you home into the fullness of who He created you to be.

Many have felt a deep disquiet, a subtle misalignment, as if pieces of your life, purpose, and passion have drifted out of sync. There has been a sense of internal agitation, almost irritation, but you have struggled to express it or understand its source. You haven't moved deliberately out of the will of God, but you know that you've lost your way a little. Something's not quite right. (Photo via Unsplash)
It will become clear that some relationships have gone as far as they can go. There are people who don't have the capacity, character, or desire to journey any further with you. There will be a clear reordering of priorities. What once seemed urgent will diminish, and what truly matters will rise to the forefront. The Father is restoring your confidence and reminding you of your true identity. (Photo via Unsplash)
