BEYOND…Sample

To move forward, you must be willing to let something go

Every next level calls for new choices.

To move beyond what you’re experiencing, you must let something go.

To walk in God’s will for his life, Abraham had to leave everything that was known to him. This meant relying entirely on God, day after day.

When we cease to depend on the Holy Spirit and start relying on our own strength or reasoning, we come to a standstill and risk losing the calling and the promises God has for our lives.

Abraham could have stopped, but against all odds, he chose to believe God, and this led him to become the father of many nations.

Elisha left everything behind to follow and serve Elijah, and in doing so, he received a double portion of the anointing.

Are you willing to let go of your human sense of security and trust God completely?

Each sacrifice made in obedience to God opens the door to new things from God and to deeper experiences of His faithfulness and provision in your life.

As you commit yourself to fulfilling God’s plan, He will take care of the desires of your heart.

Challenge

Identify and write down one specific thing you feel God is asking you to leave behind (a habit, a comfort zone, a relationship, control, fear, etc.)

Today, take a practical step of obedience—even a small one—toward what He has revealed to you.

• If it’s a habit, put an end to it today.
• If it’s a fear, take a small step despite it.
• If it’s something to give up, begin to step away from it in a practical and tangible way.

End your day with a simple prayer: "God, I choose to trust You, even in this situation."
