You Are Destined For More
The other morning I came across a video where a woman was talking about taking a leap of faith. She said the only way to grow is to step out of your comfort zone. I do agree change entails getting uncomfortable, but she also said there’s never going to be the right time or the right circumstances to take that BOLD step.
People, I can tell you right now, God clears a path for us and times it just right to ensure our success. That bold step is not without His favor. It’s not a fluke that we decided to step out in faith and things just happened to work out for us. It wasn’t pure luck. It worked out because God had already planned it that way.
Back in 2011, I was unhappy with my real estate career, even though it was very successful for me. Although the money was good, my circumstances weren’t, and I felt like I was missing something in life. I wasn’t operating at my fullest potential. Toby would point out that I’m entrepreneur-minded and needed to be working for myself. He took it a step further and told me that once he was making my same salary, along with his own, he wanted me to quit and go into business for myself.
He said this repeatedly, and even though I heard him loud and clear, I didn’t believe he could make that much money any time soon. Not only that, I didn’t have confidence I could go into business for myself. I had attempted it once before and it hadn’t worked out for me.
Surprisingly, a year later Toby was making my salary in addition to his own. At this point, he told me to stop working in real estate, and instead start doing what I dreamed of ... but I couldn’t trust the process! I didn’t want to take the chance of it not working out for me again, so I continued to stay in real estate, traveling down that unfulfilling path. What I didn’t realize at the time was that my discontent in that job was because God had greater plans for me. Deep inside I knew I wasn’t doing what I was supposed to be doing.
During this same time, I’d been looking at universities for Toby so he could finish his degree. I finally found one that impressed me, and thought, this is perfect for Toby. That’s when I heard the Lord speak, “No, this is perfect for you!”
I realized then it was God’s plan for me to get out of real estate and into what I was created to do—what I was supposed to be doing—to use my God-ordained talent and go to work for Him. This is how I ended up getting a degree in Theology and resuming the writing career I had once hoped for many years ago.
In my mind, I was not in a position to do these things. But guess what … it doesn’t matter what I think! It doesn’t matter what man thinks. If God says “YES” the answer is yes!!!
When you're ready to step into your God-given purpose in life, there is a RIGHT time and it will be under the RIGHT circumstances. His timing is perfect. Trust in it! Trust in HIM!
Now, there are things we’re to do when God moves in our lives!
TELL EVERYONE!
Give your TESTIMONY!
Give GOD the GLORY!
What a shame when the Lord creates miracles, moves mountains, and covers someone in His supernatural anointing and they keep it to themselves.
Yell it from the mountaintops.
Yes, some people will come against you. Some will want to diminish what God has done in your life out of pure jealousy or hatred … give your testimony anyway. Let the jealous be jealous, because it’s not YOU their hate affects, it’s only THEMSELVES!!! There’s a price to pay for the person who comes against what God has done in your life. God will never allow man or demon to steal or destroy what He has given you!
“So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God,” 1 Cor. 10:31.
Your testimony not only brings God the glory He deserves, but it ENCOURAGES others. It reminds them we can always have HOPE in every situation because of the Lord.
These words came out of the mouth of Jesus, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible,” Matthew 19:26. Aren’t you glad we don’t have to rely on man!!!
Start speaking your destiny out in your praise to God and watch it unfold! Put your faith in God and trust the process!
