The Power of Suddenly: Abby Trivett on How God Changes Everything in a Moment
Abby Trivett, editor at Charisma Magazine and author of The Power of Suddenly, joins Philip Cameron to unpack one of the most overlooked patterns in all of scripture — the word "suddenly" and its direct connection to divine miracles. Abby shares how a deep, yearlong immersion in scripture in 2024 led to a light-bulb moment: the word "suddenly" appears throughout the Bible and is consistently tied to God's miraculous intervention. "It is all over scripture," she says, "and it is connected to miracles."
Drawing on biblical accounts including the woman with the issue of blood (who touched the hem of Jesus's garment after exhausting every other option) and Abraham and Sarah's decades-long wait for the promised child, Abby explains why God's timetable rarely matches ours — and why that gap is itself part of the miracle. She challenges the skepticism of modern Western culture that dismisses the supernatural, pointing out that nowhere in scripture does God say He stopped doing miracles.
Abby also addresses what to do in the "valley of no suddenlies" — the painful middle ground between prayer and breakthrough. Her answer: stay in faith, take negative thoughts captive, choose to be led by the Spirit, and "just try Him one more time." The Power of Suddenly is available now on Amazon.
