The Push Toward Purpose


The Push Toward Purpose  

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” — Isaiah 43:19

Something new is coming. New levels. New influence. New growth. If God is pushing you, it's not because you're stuck—it’s because the door has swung open and destiny is beckoning.

Doctors never say to women who are in labour to push whenever you feel like it. Timing is critical. Pressure signals progress. If you feel stretched, squeezed, or unsettled, be encouraged—it’s the right time.

Consider the journey of a child in the womb. For nine months, it’s a haven: warm, nourishing, and effortless. Yet if that baby stays too long, the very place that once nurtured begins to restrict. Comfort turns into confinement.

The passage through the birth canal is tight, messy, and disorienting. But what seems like chaos is actually creation. Pain isn’t punishment—it’s the passage to promise.

Just like that baby, we often wish to stay in familiar places of peace. But if we’re not moved, we won’t grow. God knows the exact timing when your comfort zone must give way to your calling. He’s not pushing you out—He’s ushering you in.

You’re being stretched, yes—but you’re also being strengthened. Pressure is proof that promotion is near.

Declarations for Today  

- I embrace God’s timing, even when it’s uncomfortable.  

- I trust that pressure is preparing me for promise.  

- I’m stepping into new growth, new gifts, and new glory.

Closing Prayer  

Heavenly Father, thank You for the seasons of preparation. Even when I feel pressed on every side, remind me that You are present and purposeful. I surrender to Your stretching, knowing You are leading me into newness. Amen.

What are your peace stealers?

🤝 Bearing One Another’s Burdens “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2 (NKJV) Life is not meant to be carried alone. God, in His wisdom, calls us into community—not just for celebration, but for support. To bear one another’s burdens is to step into someone else’s struggle with compassion, patience, and grace. But to do this well, we must first understand our own vulnerabilities. 🎯 Know Your Weak Points—Guard Your Peace The enemy has studied you. He knows what rattles your peace, what triggers your frustration, and what tempts you to react instead of respond. Be aware of your peace-stealers. Recognize when you’re vulnerable. Guard your heart with wisdom and prayer. And just as you learn your own weaknesses, learn the weaknesses of those around you—not to exploit them, but to protect them. 💞 Help, Don’t Hinder We’re all wired differently. What bothers you may not bother someone else—and vice versa. That’s why empath...

Only Believe

Only Believe - In the scripture a man came to Jesus and said, "My little daughter is very sick. She is close to death. Will you come to my home and pray for her"? Jesus agreed. But along the way he kept getting stopped, one interruption after another. Finally word came back to him saying, "No need to come. You've waited too late. The little girl has died". The people were upset, very distraught. But Jesus said to them, Luke 8:50, "Don't be afraid. If you will only believe the little girl will be well". Notice the phrase, "Only believe". Jesus went to the home, prayed for the little girl and she came back to life. But you too may be facing situations that seem impossible. In the natural you don't see how you could get well, how you could overcome the addiction, how your family could ever be restored. But God is saying to you what he said to them. "If you will only believe, I will turn the situation around. If you only believe, bre...

1000 Reasons to Praise and Thank God  "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits." – Psalm 103:2   There are not just one or two, but a thousand resounding reasons to lift our voices in praise. And if we dared to count, we'd run out of breath before we ran out of gratitude.   - Praise Him for the sunrise—the whisper of mercy every morning. - Praise Him for breath in our lungs and purpose in our steps. - Praise Him for the cross, where grace outnumbered our guilt. - Thank Him for every closed door that was really divine protection. - Thank Him for the harvest we didn’t see coming, and the seeds still waiting underground.
