Obedience Over Fear

Friend, fear will always try to stand in the way of what God has called you to do. It whispers lies like, “You’re not ready,” “You’re not good enough,” or “What will people think?” Fear convinces us to wait, to delay, or to chase perfection instead of simply obeying.

But here’s the truth: it’s not about perfection — it’s about obedience.

How Fear Holds Us Back

Fear doesn’t always show up as panic or shaking hands. Sometimes it looks like procrastination. Sometimes it looks like waiting for the “perfect” moment. And sometimes, it looks like silence — staying quiet when God has already told us to speak.

The enemy knows the power of your yes to God, and that’s why fear pushes so hard against it.

How to Recognize Your Calling

Maybe you’re wondering: “How do I even know what God is asking me to do?”

Most of the time, it’s that very thing that keeps pressing on your heart, the thing you can’t shake, the assignment that makes you uncomfortable — maybe even the one you don’t want to do.

God doesn’t call us to comfort. He calls us to obedience.

The Cost of Disobedience

Some of us are stuck in the same place year after year because of disobedience. God already gave us the instruction, but we’re waiting until we feel ready, waiting until we feel brave, waiting until the timing feels perfect.

But delayed obedience is still disobedience. And disobedience will keep you circling the same mountain instead of stepping into the promise on the other side.

“To obey is better than sacrifice.” (1 Samuel 15:22)

The Power Of Obedience

When we finally obey — even while afraid — something shifts. Fear loses its grip. Peace takes its place. And breakthrough follows obedience.

Your yes to God may not just change your life — it could be the very thing that opens the door for someone else’s freedom.

For You, Friend

So let me ask you: what has God been telling you to do that you’ve been avoiding? Starting the business? Writing the book? Sharing your testimony? Leaving that relationship?

Whatever it is, don’t let fear keep you from moving. Don’t wait for it to feel comfortable. Don’t wait until you have all the answers. Move when God says move.

Your breakthrough is on the other side of obedience. And maybe… just maybe someone else’s breakthrough is too.

A Prayer for Obedience

Father, I come before You asking for clarity. Show me what You’ve been calling me to do, and give me the courage to obey. Remove fear, doubt, and distractions, and let my obedience bring You glory while setting others free. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Purpose of Isolation

The Purpose of Isolation

Friend, there’s so much I didn’t put in my book. Sometimes God puts something on my spirit and I just write it down or make a quick voiceover video. But today, as I was building this site and saw “add blog page,” I instantly knew what my first post had to be: Isolation.

Maybe you’re already in that season right now. Or maybe you feel like God is pulling you away from certain people or things and you don’t fully understand why. Even if you’re not there yet, keep reading — because one day you might be, and you’ll remember this.

What Isolation Really Felt Like

My isolation didn’t look like people slowly cutting me off. It looked like betrayal. God allowed everybody around me to show their true colors so I would have no choice but to let them go. One by one, people I trusted exposed themselves.

At first it felt painful, like everything was being stripped away. And truth is — it was. God took away false connections, false comfort, and false security. But I learned that what felt like loss was really His protection.

Isolation isn’t punishment. It’s God cleaning house. It’s Him removing what can’t go with you into your next season.

What I Learned in the Quiet

During that time, I cried a lot. I prayed even more. I fasted because the attacks didn’t stop — they increased. But in the middle of all that, I found peace.

The more time I spent with God, the more He revealed. He showed me who my enemies really were, the spirits behind them, and most importantly, who I am and what I’m called to do.

It wasn’t easy. Some of the revelations cut deep — especially realizing that familiar spirits I felt in Walter were the same I had grown up around. But isolation helped me see patterns and break them. It forced me to hear God clearly and face truth I couldn’t ignore anymore.

Why God Separates You

People love to say, “God separates you because you’re about to elevate.” And while that’s true, I’ve learned it’s not just about elevation.

God separates you to:

• Protect you from what you can’t see.

• Heal wounds you’ve been ignoring.

• Reveal your identity and calling.

• Strengthen you for what’s ahead.

It’s not a quick process. You won’t see fruit in two months. Sometimes it takes years. But if you stay obedient and trust Him, the isolation season will shape you into someone stronger than ever.

My Breakthrough Moment

The week I finally chose me, everything shifted. God confirmed everything He had already shown me. He told me to delete all my social media, to be still, and to fully surrender.

And when I obeyed? The chains broke.

I chose God. I chose obedience. I chose me.

And I never looked back.

For You, Friend

So if you’re in isolation right now — don’t mistake it for abandonment. If you feel like you’re entering it, don’t fight it. And if you’re not there yet, keep this in your heart, because the time will come.

Isolation isn’t God punishing you. It’s Him protecting, healing, and preparing you. It will break you down, yes. But it will also build you up. On the other side of obedience is breakthrough. On the other side of surrender is freedom.

And when it’s all said and done, you’ll look back and realize isolation was one of the best gifts God ever gave you.
