Going to the next level in life.
As Christians, we can either advance in life or move backwards. It all depends on our choices in life. Remember, God said in Deuteronomy that He places before us life and death, and that we have to choose. Our choices determine if we move forward or backward in life. Yes, there are challenges, roadblocks, and "giants" that want to hold us back, but Christ gave us the strength, courage, and power to overcome them all.
Isaiah 43:18-19
"Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."
When God begins to move you to a new level, you will most likely encounter various forms of opposition. As He moves you forward, the devil wants to move you backward, or at least to cause you to stay where you are. He will orchestrate many thoughts or feelings designed to hold you back, so let me encourage you: Go ahead and commit to overcoming any opposition that will come against you.
Do not expect your transition to be easy. Know that the changes will have their challenges, and make a proactive decision to emerge victorious, by God’s grace, in every way.
One of the greatest barriers to moving forward to the next level is being too comfortable functioning where you are. You may want something different, but when you move into it, you realize that the new assignment has no respect whatsoever for your comfort zone. It will stretch you, challenge you and be full of experiences that are unfamiliar to you.
Choosing to stay in your comfort zone may mean that you never go to the next level in God. He will not force you to embrace anything new, but I believe He wants you to do so in order to fulfill His purposes for your life. Any form of discomfort is worth overcoming in order to say yes to the next great thing God has for you.
