Push Forward
I want to give you a push forward in using your spiritual gifts.
You have been feeling stuck at the same level in your gifts for a while and you have a desire to move forward. The enemy is trying to hold you back and wanting you to believe that you are not made to do greater things than I did. I see your desire and your heart to be used by me in greater measure. I want to push you out of this place so that you can fly faster and higher in the spirit.
Know that when I give you a push you will feel sudden speed, a speed that you are not used to, and it will feel scary and uncomfortable. You will feel a bit out of control and unstable. This is good, stay in that place. Don’t retreat saying that you are not up for it, or that you can’t do it. The enemy wants you to give up, and he wants you to lose your boldness and courage. I want you to keep going. Let me teach you in the uncomfortable, unstable place. There you will listen better and lean into me more.
I can only give you a push if you decide to step out and use your gifts in ways that you know are a challenge for you. If you are comfortable with prophesying over friends and family, then start prophesying over strangers. If you are comfortable with praying against a fever, then start praying for someone who has a broken arm. Do not be afraid for I am with you, always.
Go and use your gifts!
Activation: Ask Holy Spirit what a challenge is for you when using your gifts. Spend time with the Lord and ask Him why this is a challenge for you. Ask Him if there are lies holding you back from stepping out. Agree with the Lord in what window of time you will be stepping out.
John 14:12 (NIV)
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
2 Timothy 1:6 (NIV)
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
