Without Borders


Today, I want to talk to you about breaking free of your limitations, the four walls that create borders and do not allow you to move forward. Dare to expand and be uncomfortable so that you can get out of the commodity of your zone. It's time to get out of THAT box that has defined you for so long. You cannot be complacent and expect greater things to happen. God wants to take you further than where your imagination can take you. Isaiah 55:8-9 says: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. What a wonderful declaration, just to know that our best is not God’s best, He will ALWAYS have a better idea, a better plan and definitely a better future for us. (Jeremiah 29:11)

You've got to get out of your comfort zone, I don’t know how else to say it. If you’re comfortable, you’ve got a problem, simple as that. You have to want more, you have to want to aspire to do more but MORE will not come, if you are content with LESS.
 
Today, I challenge you to ask God to lead you to that place where there are no borders, may your faith have no borders and may your trust be borderless. It's time to live your life without borders. You will never receive revelation in the shorelines, only in the deep waters. It will seem like you are walking in the "unknown" and fear, doubt, and insecurities will creep up on you but if you are certain that you are being led by God, everything will be okay! He will give you directions and clarity as you walk and move forward. Your every step will be guided by the One who holds your hands and directs your feet. Once you start on the journey of walking in deeper waters, there is no turning back because if you do, you risk everything.

Every heard of the phrase, “You’re in too deep”? Once you take the step to go in deep with the Lord, there is no turning back. It will seem scary and a bit intimidating but if you truly want a limitless life, you will have to get rid of those borders that have been impeding you from reaching your purpose and destination. Your trust, faith and dreams have to be borderless in order for God to complete the good work that He has begun in you. Want to fulfill your purpose? Get rid of the borders and limitations in your life that have been hindering you from moving forward. Enough of the shallow waters, it’s time to put your big boy and big girl pants and go in deep. With God on your side, you will NOT drown.

I love Oceans from Hillsong. And if you listen carefully to the lyrics of this song, you will understand that in order to get into deeper waters, you must walk and in the process, you must trust. In order to fulfill God’s calling; you must have faith and take action.



Allow yourself the opportunity to walk in freedom, knowing that what lies ahead is so much deeper and so much greater than what your eyes will ever see and your mind will ever comprehend if you choose to stay in the shorelines. Only in the deepness of the unknown waters, will you truly receive wisdom, understand and revelation; something that cannot be achieved in shallow waters.



Be Encouraged, Be Blessed!

Hillsong - Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

[6x]
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
