CHANGE IN FOCUS

I don’t take your unbelief in my ability as disheartening - It is on the other side of the result that we’ll meet.

In that push for the next level, a weird feeling arises.

of… pain? discomfort?

that inward agitation that comes with embracing all you have been called to be.

Not nice.

It makes you feel like an impostor.

But life is found here -

God’s grace fills me at my weakest points (2 Cor 12:9).

These struggles Paul called for us to glory in (Rom 5:3).

I bring it before God

“Lord, I know that me taking this step is Your will… my mind just doesn’t want to accept it. Help me, Father - my ‘strength’ cannot surpass these inadequacies.”

This discomfort speaks to me:

“you are about to be in the air... & yes, you have a parachute, but it’s not guaranteed that it will open… Why risk going out there and dying, instead of staying home and doing something sensible? Just wait for when the parachute will 100% work and by then you would’ve acquired a backup parachute too!”.

Lies

of the enemy.

The power of:

• the devil against us, and

• ourselves against ourselves.

The difference between the next level and playing it safe where you are.

I have given up waiting for the second and third parachute. As long as God has given me permission to go, my parachute is 100% confirmed. The outcome is secured in Him.

The more often I decide to go before pondering on the “what ifs”, the more I realise that those thoughts and projections contrary to my true identity have to bow to the authority of Christ.

Time to get to work.

John 9:4

“I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.”
