Part I

Have you ever found yourself bumping into the Great Wall of Fear and winding up in The Place of I Don’t Know? When you are on your journey from the Wastelands of Familiar to the Land of More Than Enough; you have to cross the Desert of Change into the Land of the Unknown.

Now ask yourself, “Can I make this journey or should I go back to the Wastelands of Familiar?” You are now shaken to the core with a resounding “I don’t know! Your guide is and has always been God—Just pray. In this place of doubt, your prayer should be “Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.” (Psalm 143:8 NKJV)

Sometimes it is a good thing to be outside the mainstream, walking in a different direction with the eyes of faith. Especially when your vision is so gigantic that it has to be manifested by God Himself. You must understand faith is the bass note that anchors everything else around you. Faith can transform you from the place you are, into a place of extreme blessing! All you need to know is that God is with you and not lose focus. You can easily lose your focus into fear if you allow the enemy to dismember your identity in the midst of the chaos; by sowing lying seeds through whispers in your spiritual ear. Command your mind to shut its mouth.

No matter the problems we can overcome…

God desires we walk in wisdom, understanding, and assurance. With the confidence that He is with us. No matter the problems we can overcome and walk through to the other side. The Apostle Paul writes, “The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:9 NKJV)

Here are three of the five examples of those who chose to walk outside the mainstream to find the greater blessing and the God of peace was with them.

1. Zacchaeus climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see Jesus, since he was coming that way. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately, for I must stay at your house today.” Although a tax collector; a sinful and greedy man—because he got Jesus’ attention he was able to receive him into his home and was converted. (Luke 19:1-9 NKJV)
2. The Syrophoenician woman would not keep silent until her daughter was healed. (Matthew 15:21-28 NKJV)
3. A certain woman with an issue of blood for twelve long years, went against religious doctrine and people’s opinions. Because of her faith determined received what doctors could not do—healed and made whole. (Matthew 9:20-22 NKJV)

Thank you so much for your continued readership and support. Until next week for the conclusion…Blessings and Peace!
