Set Sail

My child,

Board your ship and set sails. You have prepared yourself faithfully for this next season. Now it is time to pull up the anchor and set sail to a new territory. Let My Spirit be the wind in your sails. He will guide you to the new land I have prepared for you.

However, once you arrive – you have to burn the ship. I am asking you to set your face to moving forward, to conquering this new territory. Returning will not be an option for you anymore. I am the only option that you will have. I know the land, the culture, the customs, the people and the circumstances that will await you in your new territory. 

Trust in Me alone that I will guide you and help you step by step. Don’t look at what you have left behind. Don’t count your losses. Instead, focus on Me. Your journey will be so much more rewarding when you are doing My will and when you follow My plans for your life.

Take heart, for the time to leave your harbour has come.

Activation:
What new “land” is God calling you to set sail to? Is it a geographical move? A job change? A relationship that you have to let go of? A new ministry that He wants you to embark on? Does He want you to let go of old habits that keep you stuck or get rid of distractions in your life that keep your focus from moving forward? Trust that the Spirit of God will reveal to you your next step. Meditate on the scripture below, or ask the Lord to guide you to another passage. Declare the words over yourself and watch your faith, boldness and courage increase. You are ready for the new that God has for you!

Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)

‘So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.’ 

Philippians 3:8 (ESV)

‘Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.’
