Procrastination is disobedience in slow motion. That's a BAR! So true. God has placed it on my heart to start writing as well. I know i must step out in faith. Thank you for this post

THIS!!! “This might ruffle some feathers but disobedience to God is rebellion against him, which is equated to witchcraft (See 1 Samuel 15:22-23).” I loved this article! Thank you for praying with us and sharing your wisdom.

“The more we submit to His leading, the more we are renewed in our thoughts, words, and actions. However, at times, it will feel uncomfortable for our fleshly nature. So, what do we do in those moments? We disobey.”

Whewwwww 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

This message was an answered prayer. God had been calling me to leave my relationship of 6 years of a man who I loved who had always treated me so well, but recently I've found God and God has a reason we are not meant to be together that I don't fully understand or want to accept.I just kept convincing myself it was the enemy, because I didn't want to believe it. Tonight I left in the middle of the night because I had another dream and I just knew. And it was so hard and this message was an answered prayer to me. I just know I did the right thing no matter how bad it hurts. And that is enough. Thank you so much for letting God work through you! I needed that prayer.

Wow! Praise God for your obedience and for sharing this! I had this same experience a few months ago. The Lord had been asking me to leave a relationship for YEARS ( 9 years to be exact) and I refused because he was a good guy and other reasons. When I finally asked God what would happen if I decided to continue to pursue the relationship God showed me exactly what would happen and I repented and stop operating in disobedience and let that man go! It’s was challenging and I was heartbroken but I’m trusting God to be the author of my love story! 🙏🏾💕

Darlington, I relate so much with you on this. For me I'd been in a relationship for three years and honestly they've been one of my best three years. God has been showing me how much I had idolized the entire relationship and that I needed to let of it. It's been a day silence we broke up and guys, I've never felt so relieved and burdened at the same time. May God's will be done really.

When you said, “Partial obedience is not acceptable to God, therefore, it is disobedience” I was CONVICTED! “Procrastination is disobedience in slow motion,” is a whole word 👏🏾 👏🏾 THIS WAS AMAZING! I truly needed to hear this! Time for me to repent and walk boldly in obedience without hesitation or delay!

Convicted just by the title. Many times, we think we got away with disobedience but it's only on judgement day we'll fully grasp the effects of our every action or inaction.

This is so fitting. I love how you broke down the reason why as humans we sometimes disobey.

I wrote about something similar with regards to obedience and the single season here :)

This is spot on!

Thank you so much, I really needed to read this, sometimes I feel when we disobey God consistently, He doesn't listen to us anymore. 🥺

Thank you so much for being obedient to the Lord and doing what He told you to do. I am saving this article to read it again, the piece of writing so openly spoke to my heart, every point except love of sin, I found it in my heart, especially who will listen to me. May the Lord richly bless you and may this article continue to speak to His people. This one is anointed by Him. With love, in Him!
