I know you’re scared …

I know you’re scared, but sometimes you have to leave what you know in order to grow.

This is for you who is about to give up because you’re tired of being denied. This is for you who is about to throw in the towel and not apply for that job. This is for you who is about to give up on moving out of town. This is for you who is about to turn down a position because it’s in another state. This is for you who is afraid to submit the resume because you think you’re too young or unqualified. This is for you who won’t go back to school because you don’t think you can afford it!

God is, at this appointed time, getting ready to shift some folk who have been behind the scene. He’s about to alter the acoustic sound of your ministry and it’s going to blow some people’s minds. He’s getting ready to elevate some folk no one has heard of. This is a season of, “where did she and where did he come from.” All you have to do is move when God says move.

Stop explaining why you quit your job, they won’t understand. Stop clarifying why you’re faithful with only 3 folk showing up for Bible study. Quit trying to get folk to understand the vision God gave you. Move! You owe nobody a reason for the anointing when they didn’t give it to you.

Trust God and move. If anyone would have told me, fifteen years ago, I’d be where I am; I wouldn’t have believed them. But when God told me to move from the only church I’d known to a church that although I knew, was out of my comfort zone; I was devastated. I had to drive 45 minutes to church to a place I didn’t know would even accept me, but I did. It wasn’t overnight because I was scared but I moved. Was it hard? God yes, but the glory I’ve received has outweighed every uncertainty. I’m not sharing this for somebody to get up and make an immediate drastic change, however, I am telling you to move when God says move.

For somebody, it will be drastic but you’ll get your deliverance. For some, it’ll be suddenly but it’ll quiet your storm. For some, it’s premeditated but it’ll relieve your pain. For some, it’ll be slow but satisfying. For some, it’s going to hurt like you wouldn’t believe, but don’t hinder it. This move, whatever it is to wherever it is; God has a purpose for it. Plus, you can’t grow in a place you’ve outgrown nor can you expand in an area with limitations. Move with God and when God says.

“The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” – Psalm 32:8
