What is your go in life? What is your passion behind you business or ministry marketing? Where do you feel the tug on your heart to be broken bread and poured out wine in service to others?

What is your go? The question might sounds strange, but it's based on the scripture where Jesus tells His disciples,

"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you, and lo,
I am with you always, to the close of the age."

This past Sunday at my church a young couple was being blessed and sent out to start a new church.

It was powerful to hear the testimony of this couple in how God used circumstances, gifting, and passions to get the couple on the same
page of knowing...the time to start this church was NOW.

The pastor went on to share with us more amazing stories of Christians who heard that same voice, left comfortable jobs and circumstances to answer that call of "go."

Then he briefly pointed out what stops us from going in that directions we know God is calling.

One word holds us up.

Fear.

I connected with this because I have experienced the terrible bondage of fear and how it can paralyze your faith.

"Fear tolerated is faith contaminated." (Copeland)

Three kind of fear can stare us in the face as we consider the go God has called us to:

Fear of what other people will think.

Fear of failure.

Fear of change.

What I have discovered though is that by making a
decision to go in the direction God calls, He is there
every step of the way to help you conquer your fear.

But you have to make the first step.

What is He calling you to do?

What is that still small voice telling you to do to stretch your faith?

You can do it. Even if you have failure, missed steps along the way, something amazing happens. You break the mold of fear and step out, like a butterfly, into the reality of being you. Free to be you. The you God called you to!

As Smith Wigglesworth wrote: "The power of God will take you out of your own plans and put you into the plans of God."

And that is the ultimate go. Walking out your true destinythat God has equipped you for to be a light in a darkworld, hope to the brokenhearted, and a vessel to serve others.

Following the go of your heart brings the richest fulfillment.

It's your divine destiny.

What desires of your heart are you waiting to see fulfilled? What "go" is God calling you to.

Write the plan down. Focus on the Word. Pray. Listen.

Seek or look for it. Look for ways to help people. That's really what the Body Of Christ is for.....

And finally, fear not! Obey. Stop the fear of tomorrow, and money and what other people will say.

Perfect love casts out fear.

When you begin to walk out this "go" in your life, you will be changed!
