You are to move out of the comfort zone and into the faith zone
Out of the outcome zone and into the obedience zone

OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE AND INTO THE FAITH ZONE
God is calling you out of your comfort zone and this is a good thing! We often think about our comfort zone with a happiness and view it as a wonderful thing. So when we are challenged to move out of it, we think about how hard this is for us and even feel like it isn’t fair. Sometimes we use it as an excuse to not take action and make the decision we need to make. But the truth is we were never made to be limited and restricted into a small space that feels comfortable. We were made to be free and to live by faith.
God is calling you into the faith zone where you get to discover new, explore further afield, and see God do miracles! It is the miracle zone. Some have been holding back, you’ve even been standing at the door looking out knowing that is where you need to go but staying put because it seems unknown and unfamiliar, it is out of your comfort. You’ve even been complaining that you aren’t getting where you need to go. But you will have to take a step out… into the faith zone. It is out there where you can be wild and free and see the Lord Almighty operating in his power and strength.
OUT OF OUTCOMES AND INTO OBEDIENCE
No longer can we make decisions based on a guaranteed outcome that we like but we need to make decisions based on obedience to the Lord. He has a heart of love for all of his people, including you and he knows what he is doing. He is a good leader and obedience to him is key. Leave the outcome in his hands, trusting him to take care of that part. Make your decisions according to his leading fullstops. Don’t make them according to his leading because this outcome will happen. Make them because he is the Lord and he knows best.
Obedience decisions lead us into the faith zone which is the miracle zone. We will be seeing the Lord provide and move in miraculous ways. Get ready to be in awe of the wondrous works of the Lord!
What step do you need to take? What decision do you need to make? Be in the courage of the Lord, he has you in mind.
