Are you feeling frustrated, like you are not reaching your full potential? Do you feel like you are called to do more and be more? If you are not making yourself available to be used by God, you will feel a discontent in your spirit.
In this video, Shannon Wells says that part of our calling as children of God is to elevate so we can see things from God's perspective.
A spiritually mature person will make God her source for everything. If you are looking around and comparing yourself to others and competing with other people, then you are thinking too low. We must transform our thinking and look to God for revelation in every situation.
1. You are called to exist in power and dominion.
Your power is the ability you have. You have the ability to do the same things that Jesus did when He walked on earth. The Bible tells us that we have the power to take authority over everything and everyone that comes against us. Luke 10:17-19 tells us that we have the power to trample on "serpents and scorpions," which is a metaphor for the works of the devil. So we have the power to call down every wicked scheme that comes against us and the people we love.
2. You are called to take advantage of every moment for the goodness of God and His glory.
As a representative of Jesus Christ, you should constantly watch for divine opportunities and jump on them quickly. God will carefully craft an opportunity that matches you specifically. So ask God to open your eyes to opportunities sent by Him. A conversation with someone at the grocery store could be a divine connection that leads to a life-changing opportunity.
We must look carefully at everything and everyone that comes into our lives. God will even use non-Christians to bless you, so be wise and careful as you interact with the secular world. But be careful not to waste your time and attention on things that will not give God glory.
3. You should fly with other high flyers and receive wisdom from them.
We are told in Matthew 7:15-17 that we will know people by their fruit. Healthy trees bear good fruit and rotten trees bear rotten fruit. We must always ask ourselves if we should be yolking ourselves with the people we spend time with. What is our discernment telling us about their intentions and their motives? Our discernment will increase as we get into the word of God, renewing our minds and learning what is the good, acceptable and perfect will of God.
