Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'" Luke 10:19 (ESV) "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you." Proverbs 8:11 (ESV) "For wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her." REFLECTION QUESTIONS Where are you still trying to force doors instead of waiting for God to open them? What would it look like to stop pushing and start listening for the small promptings? When you feel a prompting from God—even a small one that doesn't fit your plan—do you obey or do you talk yourself out of it? What would change if you trusted that obedience from authority opens bigger doors than strategy could? Are you still trying to prove your worth in your business? What would it feel like to operate from the position that you already have authority, you already have standing, you already have value? What is one small obedience God is asking of you right now? Not the big, strategic move. The small prompting you've been dismissing. What would it look like to honor that? Be sure to subscribe to the podcast!
