If you think about it, you have probably experienced things through the years that actually reveal a pattern. Not only were these events similar, but they have impacted your life on a very deep level. They may have even gained some control over you.
These past events and circumstances create boundaries that limit our ability to serve God the way that He has called us to. We may not be happy about it, but as time goes on, many of us get used to the limitations. Sadly, we have come to just accept mediocrity as a way of life. I call it “living in the land of good enough”.
Good enough just isn’t
God has plans for your life that are beyond imagination (I Cor. 2:9). I’m here to tell you: It’s time to get out of the land of good enough! And the only way to do that is to put your foot on it! Take authority over the areas of your life that have hindered you from going any further in your walk with God.
Ephesians 1:22 & 23 put it this way: “And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”
Before we can take the first step of that journey, however, we need to identify the problem. It takes an awakening and stirring of our spirits to want to come out of the land of good enough. Desire to push past where you are today and make the maximum impact in life.
Trample the enemy
I pray that every one of us would recognize that it’s time to begin to step on the thing that once stepped on us. It’s time to exercise the dominion and authority that God has given to us. After all, He is the head and we are the body. And He has put all things under our feet. I repeat: It’s time to start walking on things that once walked on you!
“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19)
In Joshua chapter 10, we read that Joshua sealed the cave where five enemy kings were hiding. He then brought out the kings and instructed his captains to put their foot on their necks. In other words, take dominion over them. “So it was, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, ‘Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.’ And they drew near and put their feet on their necks.” (Joshua 10:24)
This act is symbolic of God bringing the things that once controlled us to the forefront of our hearts and minds. He is delivering to us the enemy of our soul so that we can take authority over them.
Awaken your spirit
It’s time for us in the body of Christ to put past fears and defeats under our feet and walk in victory! We must go further in our walk with God than we have in the past. But it starts with an awakening of our spirit.
Secondly, we need an understanding of the authority and headship that God has given us.
Lastly, we must remember that Jesus already defeated the enemy. All we are doing is re-presenting Jesus and defeating our enemy in the power of His might. Today, I encourage you to put your foot on it! Don’t back down. Go forward!
