Un-Ghosting God Reconnecting with His Purpose for Your Life

Let’s be real—obedience to God isn’t just about checking off a list of dos and don’ts. It’s about having a heart that actually wants to follow Him. When we shift our mindset from “God’s rules are limiting” to “God’s plan is freeing,” we stop resisting and start embracing His direction.

What is Sin and Why Does it Matter?

Sin isn’t just a bad habit—it’s anything that pulls us away from God’s will. It’s the little (or big) things that keep us from fully reflecting His holiness. The moment we accept Jesus, we’re called to live differently, not just blending in with the world but standing out as a light.

Two Keys to Unlocking God’s Plan

Isaiah 1:19 lays it out:
✔ Willingness – Having an open, eager heart to follow God’s lead
✔ Obedience – Actually doing what He asks, no half-measures

Saying “Yes, God” but dragging your feet isn’t it. Full obedience requires both the right attitude and the right action.

Why Does God Care About Our Attitude?

God isn’t just looking for compliance—He’s looking at why we obey. Are we just doing it because we feel like we have to, or are we genuinely trusting His plan? True submission means aligning with His mission, not just going through the motions.

How Obedience Unlocks Blessings

God’s promises aren’t random—they come with a blueprint. When we walk in willing obedience:
✅ We align with His purpose
✅ We show trust in His wisdom
✅ We put ourselves in a position to receive His best
✅ We set an example for others

What’s Holding You Back?

Let’s be honest—sometimes we hesitate. Here’s what often stops us:
🚧 Fear and self-doubt
🚧 Wanting to stay in our comfort zone
🚧 Picking and choosing what parts of God’s word we follow
🚧 Putting it off for “later”

Time for a Heart Check

Ask yourself:
🔍 What’s something God has been nudging me to do that I keep avoiding?
🔍 Am I obeying fully, or just enough to feel good about it?
🔍 What’s one step I can take today toward full obedience?

Challenge This Week:

🔥 Identify one area where God is calling you to step up
🔥 Shift your mindset from obligation to trust
🔥 Take action, no matter how small
🔥 Believe that His commands aren’t restrictions—they’re pathways to blessings

God’s not holding out on you—He’s setting you up for something bigger. His plan is better than anything we could come up with on our own. Are you ready to stop playing it safe and start walking in full obedience? Let’s go.
