00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.280
Hi my friends, welcome to day 9 of our 30 day dream big challenge, and it's all about

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.119
stepping outside our comfort zone.

3
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:16.400
Galatians 5, 22-23 says, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,

4
00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:21.960
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and against such things there

5
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:23.520
is no law.

6
00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:29.240
So stepping outside your comfort zone can be daunting, but it is often where our greatest

7
00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:30.880
growth occurs.

8
00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:35.120
You see, God has equipped us with the fruit of the Spirit, which will empower us to face

9
00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:37.640
challenges with courage and grace.

10
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:42.880
So I don't know about you, but sometimes, oh, I dream to go out sailing and walking

11
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.480
on the water, but when I get to the edge of the shore and I see those waves in the deep

12
00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:50.120
ocean, oh, I just, I get afraid.

13
00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:51.960
I get afraid to take that first step.

14
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:57.560
And see, that's where the power of the Spirit can come in to encourage us to have bold feet

15
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.600
and to take action and to trust that He will equip us with everything we need.

16
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:09.280
So today, reflect on what actions make you feel uncomfortable regarding your dream.

17
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:14.160
Identify one specific action that you can take this week to step outside your comfort

18
00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:20.120
zone and trust God that He will be with you and help you take those leaps of faith.

19
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:25.520
So let me ask you today in our activation, what makes you uncomfortable about pursuing

20
00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:26.520
your dream?

21
00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:27.520
Be honest.

22
00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:29.680
God already knows anyway.

23
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:35.040
And then identify one action that can, like, push you like a little baby bird out of the

24
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.880
nest and get you to start flapping your wings.

25
00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:40.080
And so I want to pray for you today.

26
00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:43.320
Oh, God, just thank you for my friends.

27
00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:48.880
God, thank you for them stepping out into bold feet this week and pursuing their dreams.

28
00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:53.080
And God, I pray that they could just walk into deep waters with you, that they would

29
00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:58.800
leave the safety of their nest or the things that bring them comfort, that they'd be willing

30
00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:04.840
to go outside of the area, God, that you are calling them to, that they would grow and

31
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:09.800
that they would embrace discomfort and that you would bring them to a place, God, of bold

32
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:10.800
faith in you.

33
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.340
God, I pray for encouragement, highlight specific actions you want them to take.

34
00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:20.640
And may the fruit of your spirit be their source of energy, vitality, encouragement

35
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:22.000
and strength this week.

36
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:23.000
In Jesus name, amen.

37
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.000
Okay.

38
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.000
Bye, my friends.

39
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:25.000
