Launch into the Deep

As I look into the spirit, I see an expansive body of water. Standing on the shore, I see the image of a person. As I look closer, I see that this person appears to be testing the temperature of the water by cautiously dipping their toe in, contemplating whether to get in or not.

The Spirit of the Lord says:

Come! Stop waiting and hesitating. Stop using familiar methods and past experiences as guides to see if you should go into the waters or not. I am the one who is calling you and I am calling you to leave the security of the shores and come to me. The time has come to launch your nets and have faith in who I am. Launch into the deep with me. Trust that I know what is there for you, even when it’s not visible to you. Come! Hear me call you by name. 

Stop playing it safely by relying on your own strength; stop playing it small by relying on your own understanding. Do you trust me, or do you trust yourself more? You can only go as far as your faith in me will take you. Come! Come away from the shore and come with me into the deep waters knowing that I am God. I know what I’m doing. Feast on my faithfulness, delight in my faithfulness, trust in my faithfulness for I am the faithful God, and I say Come. I am here with you. Come!

Activation: This is a call to stop playing it “safe” and to go deeper and further with God. This is also an invitation to really examine your heart to see where and with whom your trust really lies. Take time to sit with the Holy Spirit and ask Him, “Lord, do I really trust you or do I trust myself, my reasoning, experiences, and expertise more?”

Psalm 37:5 (TPT)

Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way, you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!

Isaiah 43:1-2 (NLT)

But now, O Jacob, listen to the LORD who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.”

Isaiah 46:10 (TPT)

I declare from the beginning how it will end. And foretell from the start what has not yet happened. I decree that my purpose will stand. And I will fulfil my every plan.
