Who's on the other side of your obedience?

When God speaks to us with instruction, it's never just for us. There are others who will not only benefit from, but need our obedience to fulfill their destiny. I know that's a hard thing to hear sometimes. That your breakthrough or purpose in God is revealed through the action or inaction of someone else. When I first heard this I did NOT receive it. I said "My destiny is up to me!" It took me years to get the Revelation that we are all in this together.

Sometimes we don't believe in people the way we should. Sometimes we don't believe in ourselves the way we should. You see if someone else's disobedience is holding you back, we are forced to ask the question. Who am I holding back with my disobedience? It is true, "No man is an island." At least not designed to be one. We are accountable for one another and when we really begin to put others first we will see new abilities and strengths arise in our lives that we didn't realize was on the inside of us. Be encouraged and "GO FOR IT!!!"

A group of people who are attentive to the Holy Spirit will truly change the earth. We have to stop wearing hats of judgement and put on hats of love and mercy. When we look at someone who isn't doing what their "supposed" to be doing, we judge them and say there's nothing we can do. Maybe the reason they aren't doing what we think they're supposed to be doing is because we haven't done what we're supposed to be doing.

Peace!!!
