Perfect Conforming

Forfeiting your upgrade because you refuse to conform your life to match God’s will is a huge mistake, and one that many of us make without ever realizing it. Look at King Saul. He disobeyed a clear and direct order from God so he could do things his way. It cost him everything!

Know this: Forward is not in the confines of what we are used to. Forward needs to be learned, pursued, and conformed to.  Moving forward after kingdom upgrade requires you to work with teams when you’re naturally a lone wolf individualist. It requires you to go through some things alone when you wish you could party with your friends.

Better will require you to lay down what you think is a big deal and prioritize what you haven’t really cared about before. You may have to lay down something you’ve always considered precious – relationships, mindsets, and habits which are holding you back from fully following Jesus. You know what they are, so write them down.

If you are going to move forward and advance into upgrade, God says you have to be “that guy.” In fact, He says you already are that guy! You just have to chisel away the parts that don’t look like Him!

Take that list and lay down the things keeping you from reaching your purpose. When you do, it’s called wisdom. It’s what Saul rejected and Solomon asked for. Wisdom is a huge part of your ongoing move into better, so be wise. Get rid of the foolish things in your life.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7
