✨ Your Calling is Greater Than Your Comfort Zone

Recently, I shared a powerful truth with my Women in Pursuit of Purpose Facebook group that stirred something deep not only in them—but also in me. As we wrapped up a session, I heard myself say: “Your calling is greater than your comfort zone.”

And I felt the weight of those words settle into the room (and into our hearts). Today, I want to expound on that thought and shine a bit more light on what it means—because I believe it’s a message for you, too.

✔️ The Assignment Requires Courage

God never calls us to a life of ease—He calls us to a life of obedience. The moment you say “yes” to purpose, you must also say “no” to comfort. Why? Because:

  • Purpose stretches you.
  • Calling challenges you.
  • Destiny demands movement.

We see it in Scripture time and again. Moses had to leave the desert. Esther had to walk into the king’s court. Peter had to step out of the boat. And each one of them had to face the same decision: Will I stay in what’s comfortable…or will I move in what’s calling me?

✔️ Fear Delays Purpose—Boldness Activates It

If fear has been speaking louder than faith, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth:

  • Fear delays.
  • Comfort excuses.
  • But BOLDNESS activates.

When we choose boldness over fear, we activate doors, divine connections, and supernatural provision. The moment you decide to obey, heaven starts moving on your behalf. 📖 Joshua 1:9 reminds us: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid… for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

God doesn’t ask us to go alone—He promises His presence, power, and provision every step of the way.

🔥 Your Inheritance Is on the Other Side of Obedience

You were never meant to camp out in your comfort zone. Your inheritance—your next level, breakthrough, business, book, ministry, or mission—is on the other side of a yes.

And that “yes” might be scary, risky, and even lonely. But it is also sacred. Because God meets you at the place of your obedience.

🙌🏽 Remember:

  • God’s will doesn’t always feel safe. But it’s always secure.
  • Your calling isn’t casual—it’s Kingdom.
  • You weren’t born to be comfortable. You were born to conquer.

📝 Final Thoughts

As you reflect on this, I challenge you to ask yourself: Where have I chosen comfort over calling? What small step of obedience can I take today? It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be bold. Let this post be your nudge, your confirmation, and your encouragement to rise up and walk in it.

Because your calling is worth it. And so are you.

LESSONS from 2020 and Entering 2021

Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

This scripture is packed with promise….

I know for myself that God causes EVERYTHING to work for my good.   2020 has worked for my good….

Now there are some qualifiers…for this promise 1) those who LOVE GOD…and 2) those who are Called according to His purpose for them…

As believers we know that we Love God and we are Called according to His purpose in our lives.  I was like Ok Jesus thank you for this promise.  Holy Spirit just reminded me that even 2020 will work for my good.     So, I created this list of lessons…in no particular order.

  • Increase my Faith, Purpose, Peace Each one of these are connected to Destiny
  • A Spirit of Resilience – It was important to not quit and succumb to the despair and the oppressive atmosphere in 2020…in each circumstance Look for GOD in the midst His banner is over us
  • LIFE is truly precious – take time to tell your Love Ones you Love them and spend quality time with them
  • TIME is a precious Resource – you have 24 hours to complete your task don’t waste your time on non-producing activity and don’t waste other people time
  • Intentional with all activity – be ever present in all that you do and be deliberate in your actions
  • Hope and Expectations are important and connected to FAITH – believing in the dream or vision will manifest
  • The past & present are building blocks for your Future – use your past and present experiences to help navigate 2021
  • Pajama days are Real and Therapeutic
  • Listen to the Holy Spirit the 1st time
  •  Obey the instructions of the LORD the 1st time
  • Invest in yourself – knowledge is Powerful
  • Gratefulness and Kindness – build character and is needed in this season
  • Leave a Legacy and an Inheritance for our children and our children’s children
  • Slow Down and breath…

Let’s Launch in 2021 with a Powerful Prosperous Presence and Purpose.

Yours in Christ,

Be Encouraged I GOT YOU!

Be encouraged Saints of God.  For our God is with us even in these tumultuous times.  He is with us.  We will not be distracted by the negative naysayers. We will not be distracted by the Media whether it is Social, Local, or National.  As children of the most-high GOD we must spend more time in HIM than we spend on the things of this world. 

We must recognize when the enemy is using our surroundings against us.  We can become so distracted in the frustration, aggravation, and the disruption that we don’t even realized that it is the handy work of the enemy.   We must regain our focus and see where the enemy has caused issues, stress, and dissension.  All this confusion is to take us off the path that has been preordained for us to follow. 

Your Destiny has been pre-determined before the foundations of the world were even established.  You are created for such a time as this.  We must be in alignment with what GOD has for us.   Satan’s plan is to disrupt this alignment and push us off the path.   

Once we have regained our focus which is on the Lord our perspectives change.  We are now capable of seeing the hand of the LORD and the plan of the enemy.  Our alignment with our Father means we are on the Divinely Lit Path that God has for us.  This path reveals and therefore we have wisdom in all things.

Prayer:

I declare and decree that you shall remain steadfast and unmovable in the word of the Lord and the plans that He has for your life.  I declare and decree that God is for you and no enemy shall prevail against you.  Lord I thank that You go before us and You are with us.  I thank You Lord that You shall not fail, nor desert us, nor leave us high and dry. We shall not be afraid, discouraged, or lost for You Lord have us in the palm of Your hands in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen
