Don't Be Too Bound Up to Step Out by Adam Becker

By Adam Becker
The other day I saw something from Jeremy Lopez (Jeremy is an awesome and anointed man of God by the way) on his ministry page, Identity Network that prompted me to write this article.  He said, "some people have a very real, continuous fear. "Is this the will of God?" "Is this the will of God or is this my will?" He goes on to say, people are religiously bound up by this.  I can concur with what he is saying and know it all too well.  I have even been there myself.  You want to be in Gods perfect will and plan, you naturally don't want to do anything that goes against that or is out of that.  God also desires us to be obedient and in His perfect plan, but we need to be careful we aren't being too religious and bound up by that.

The other day I saw something from Jeremy Lopez (Jeremy is an awesome and anointed man of God by the way) on his ministry page, Identity Network that prompted me to write this article.  He said, "some people have a very real, continuous fear. "Is this the will of God?" "Is this the will of God or is this my will?"  
 
He goes on to say, people are religiously bound up by this.  I can concur with what he is saying and know it all too well.  I have even been there myself.  You want to be in Gods perfect will and plan, you naturally don't want to do anything that goes against that or is out of that.  God also desires us to be obedient and in His perfect plan, but we need to be careful we aren't being too religious and bound up by that. We do know that Jesus didn't do anything that He didn't see the Father do or in other words, get orders about from the Father.  But we are not Jesus.  We don't always hear from God as Christ did. I know some people seem to think they do but in reality, we don't.  
 
A lot of people are so bound up by the "is this Gods perfect will" that they never step out and do anything. They live in religious fear of being out of Gods plan.  I know people like this, they either never attempt to do nothing at all. Or they do things that are extremely thought out and because they are extremely thought out and the person has the ingredients to make it happen, it works. But it was their own will, not Gods plan.  And because it worked, they then declare it was Gods perfect plan but in fact they made it happen. They get all puffed up from this and think they are always in Gods perfect will and hear from God. They also like to warn everyone who steps out not to do it because it probably isn't Gods perfect will, so they come against anything everyone else is doing. I have met so many people like that. Churches are filled with them and some are pastors.  They seem to think they are the only one who is ever in Gods plan and no one else is. Many times, this is motivated by pride and fear.  Pride as they think that the things they made happen were Gods plan and they always hear from God and are in his perfect will.  And fear for the ones who never step out and do anything.  God does not want us to get into pride or fear.  God wants us free.  
 
Religious mindsets are not only good for the person bound by them but as I mentioned they also seek to condemn others and bound them up as well.  Sometimes they are really seeking to put people beneath them as the religious leaders of Christ's day did that were all bound up by religion.  They act as though they are the only ones who could ever be in Gods will and everyone else is beneath them and out of it.
 
I know a guy that preaches to do what I myself often do. You just step out and try everything you can think of. Not talking about sin but go for every opportunity that comes your way and step out with every new idea you get. If God doesn't want you doing it he will shut it down. Like throwing everything at the wall and see what sticks. There are a lot of things I really thought was God that God shut down and other things I really didn't know whether it was God and I tried anyway only to learn years later that was God and worked. Even things that didn't work I found that was Gods perfect plan as God wanted me to learn something from the process and failure that could then prepare me for something else God wanted me to do in the future. The worst that can happen is it fails but real failure is never trying. That is faith, stepping out on things you cant really see.   You need to be certain about it but as humans can we really be certain about everything?  
 
Free Yourself
 
Did Peter know for certain that he would be able to step out of the boat and walk on water.  No, he didn't, he even doubted and started to sink when the waves rose up. Of course, he saw that Jesus could do it and was with Him so he tried it but he wasn't certain. Well Jesus is with us and He can do it.  Everyone wants to hear from God and be certain but with hearing from God can come with error.  
 
My vocation is a prophetic minister.  I do personal prophecy and prophetic ministry for people and I have found that it is easy to hear from God and know things for other people but not so easy to hear God about your own life.  Some people like to say that as you mature in Christ you hear from God for yourself all the more and clearer, but I say as you mature you admit all the more that you don't hear from God as much as you think you do. The reason why hearing from God for ourselves can be so difficult is we have an iron in the fire.  Yes, we have wants, desires and often our own thoughts. These wants and desires can come into play and drown out what God is saying. It is the same thing when trying to hear from God for people you personally know well.  You have an iron in the fire and your own desires, jealousies, thoughts, beliefs about someone you know can get in the way of what God is saying.  That's why I like doing prophetic ministry for strangers the best.  
 
I know I am probably going to hear a lot of seasoned Christians and prophets disagree with me on this but it's true.  You are human and as long as you have your own wants and desires for yourself you are not going to hear from God that well for things about you.  I am not saying you never do but often you won't.  That's why I will go to other prophets like Jeremy Lopez to get a word from God for my life.  This is the truth and reality.  I can't count how many times I have seen Christian leaders say they heard God about their own life or something they had an iron in the fire about and they were wrong. Some appear to be right because they made it happen on their own and was not Gods perfect will and they did not hear accurately from God.  
 
My point is don't worry so much what is Gods perfect plan. We really don't know for sure many times what Gods perfect plan for us is. If it doesn't go against scripture it may be possible. God is not against us having our own wants and desires and us wanting to accomplish something that we want to do either.  I can choose to eat at McDonald's or Burger King, God is probably not planning on me eating at one and getting upset if I eat at the other.  He gave us free will and we can make choices. Try some things, if it works great if it doesn't learn and move on.  The Bible says God works all things out for good.  Don't be in fear, bound up or attack others who step out. Free yourself of a religious mindset!
