Diva Table Topic: How do you step out on Faith?
Stat: https://praywithconfidence.com/stepping-out-in-faith/
What Does It Mean To Step Out in Faith?
To step out in faith means to take a risk for God, knowing that He is going to catch you and be there with you if anything should happen.
It is going above and beyond to do God’s will, even if you don’t know what the steps in the process are yet, or what the end result is going to be yet.
3 ways to know if God is actually calling you into stepping out in faith:
1. You Don’t Know the Whole Plan
Stepping out in faith is frightening. It doesn’t make sense. But if God has a plan, and we are part of that plan, we need to shift our focus to being honored that God chose us instead of thinking that it’s our plan that we can do on our own.
2. It Doesn’t Make Sense to Man
Stepping out in faith almost always has resistance from people that want what is best for you. I’m not saying ignore other people’s advice. God gave us relationships and fellowship for a reason. But at the end of the day, if you have truly prayed over this inside and out, and still feel like this is what God wants, it may simply not make sense to anyone else. Because it’s not supposed to make sense.
3. It Has an Opportunity to See God Perform the Impossible
The reason why stepping out in faith does not make sense to us or people is because if it all made sense, we would never get a chance to see God perform the impossible.
Scripture:
Romans 10:17 ESV /
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of God.

with the 99 Divas I just transported somewhere you definitely I did that’s where the food took me then that’s where food’s supposed to take you you know what I’m saying when it’s not on a journey right yeah on a journey for real it’s an experience well let’s Journey right through this topic today this is this is a great topic um and we’re talking about how do you step out on faith and I went on a website called praywithconfidence.com where it kind of it breaks down what it means to step out on faith so to step out of faith it means to take a risk for God knowing that he is going to catch you and be with you if anything should happen it is going above and beyond to do God’s will even if you don’t know what the steps in the process are yet and what the end result is going to be yet three ways to know if God is actually calling you into stepping out on faith number one is you don’t know the whole plan stepping out in faith is frightening it doesn’t make sense but if God has a plan and we are part of that plan we need to shift our Focus to being honored that God has chose us instead of thinking that it’s our plan that we can do on our own number two is it doesn’t make sense to man it ain’t gonna make sense to you okay but stepping out on faith almost always has resistance from people that want what is best for you I’m not saying to ignore other people’s advice but God gave us relationships and fellowship for a reason but at the end of the day if you have truly prayed over this inside and out and still feel like this is what God wants it may simply not make sense to anyone else because it’s not supposed to make sense and number three it has an opportunity to see God perform the impossible yeah the reason why stepping out on faith does not make sense to us or people it’s because it’s it all made sense and we would never get a chance to see God perform the impossible I love that yeah I love those stats yeah familiar with that place that you know that site that you got that information from but I love that it’s very clear yeah I thought that it was a very very very clear as as the breakdown um because you know I mean from one to three if you think about it I mean I can only use the example for this podcast right I had no experience whatsoever in podcasting right I was a singer I was an actress I’m a recruiter but I had nothing to do with podcasting but I remember during covid when they shut all the theaters down and I had no place to perform and I was like what am I going to do with all this creative juices and God was like and at the time both my parents had cut covered so I was nursing them back to health so I was going through somewhat of a depression because the enemy was really trying to get in my mind and tell me I’m about to take both of your parents so as I was actively trying to nurse them back to health I said okay well God I need to do something once they get back to health I need to do something to pay homage to you because I know he was the one that was getting them out the woodwork right so I had to go out every single day even though nobody was out on the roads I would just go in my car put my worship music on pray worship cry and I would ask for God to heal but then I also asked God to put something in my spirit so that when they were healed I could venture out and do something with all this stuff so God said you know what they did you should talk about love and relationships do a podcast love that and and I’m sure you will like and do what right with who right and how right and when and that’s the stepping out on faith part because you don’t hear somebody or yourself say what you actually touched on it when you said when you said that it brought me to the place where when I stepped out of faith and did music uh full-time my wife was like when I quit my job I came home and she said what did you do can we showed my wife at the time she’s my girlfriend and she said what did you do think about all the plans that I had all the plans that we had and it was like uh it’s not gonna make sense right but to the man I knew that I knew the voice of the Lord said go do this and I said Lord if it’s your will because then I put a demand on the faith substance of things over and the evidence of things like uh okay yeah this is for me then you keep my phone ringing my phone hello [Laughter] it rings all the time and amen it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and that’s how you know that you’re in line with God’s will because he will set it up for you he will put the right people in position in your life you know and things will come to you easy and I’m saying that you know I haven’t had some struggles because I have but even through those struggles God has provided um and so I mean like I said and also too I think we brought this up when we’re named one day when we were talking about Vision um but I knew I could not tell everybody right right because and that’s very important too you can’t tell everybody in most cases you should tell no one right because the vision wasn’t given for them it was given for you right and so when you tell them um Sometimes some people will work against you um speak some things against you so that that thing doesn’t come to fruition so yeah you should keep your mouth quiet and ask the Lord to tell you who do I confide in right right especially when people don’t know you to do something right right like you they know you have no history in doing it no experiences doing this so they might talk you out of it or they could be jealous because you thought of it before they did okay right Joseph Joseph uh not Jesus daddy Coat of Many Colors Joseph reads your Bible the dream coach they threw him in a pit because they didn’t understand his vision because his vision had them serving him and they couldn’t see that and when you have a vision that has people that are supposed to be here brought down here because now you’re there they’re going to do everything in their power ful’s wife uh the the getting him thrown into prison but every place he went he wound up prospering it because the will of God was over him read the Bible don’t worry about it impressing me today that was two for two is today Sunday listen don’t let the smooth taste fool you I know how to raise an offering now reaching your wallet real quick dining with a diva real quick I need a couple dollars because listen nobody honestly if you think about it all the vision that he had he spoke it and to the wrong people and they tried to kill him because of the vision that you have it but his his vision that they tried to kill him for wind up saving the world so you’re doing something now and you’re doing something now and we’re also doing we’re all doing something now that and he became the advisor to the king as well he was the man he was granted much space yeah he was he was the man so that kind of thing uh when the favor of God is over you but you have to make that step you know I’m reminded or I’m thinking of my own daughter right and so my oldest daughter is an interior designer and a fearless diy-er and so she graduated from undergrad with the BFA in interior design and couldn’t find her place and so almost gave up her dream of this is what I want to do you know I know that I’m good at it I know that I’m passionate about it I just don’t know how to launch and it wasn’t until she got silent and the Lord just told her do this now she has 120 3000 followers on Instagram companies reach out to her literally daily she she has she already hired her um a manager you know what I mean like so she has someone working for her under her that she pays right you have to trust God and listen to the voice of God somebody writer Jingles for them that’s gonna be me I’m leaving I waited two I’m I’m never mind you know because y’all have y’all are sitting on an amazing gift both of you and I don’t get me started with you I know this one does it sometimes I said this one because we’re still fighting but um I’ll sing it yes yes you have an amazing gift and because of insecurities and because of things and this that and the third don’t you don’t do it because I’m gonna cry but let’s go this is the year because you’re sitting on an amazing amazing ability that a lot of people wish they had that you have naturally well here’s what I here’s here’s where I am right now so now that God has put me in the direction of podcasting now what I’m trying to do is slowly but surely incorporate music now right into the podcasting and and you know I tell people I’m like an onion you’ll you’ll learn me a layers uh when I was giving you a chance you went back but like with what jalise was saying though I mean it was in those moments of Silence when I was in my car and it was just one-on-one with God and I was either playing my music praying that he started to impart in me certain things that I had to follow and various envisions and ideas and he said as long as you keep my word in it I bless you so I said well how oh how do I keep your word in it God he told me with every topic that you create I want you to have a scripture to match that topic as your positive takeaway to your audience so this is why at every show I have a scripture because I must Implement God in every episode in order for me to to always be aligned in his will and to continue to bless me so if there is a vision that you have if you feel like you’re coming up you’re waking up in the morning you got like this wrestling you know just wrestling in your spirit my capacitor used to say it’s not it’s not the extra detergent in your drawers it’s literally it’s literally the Holy Spirit yeah wrestling something in you stirring up something in you and so you want to just be obedient and be silent and wait for God to give you that vision and step out on faith and when you step on faith you will watch God bless you and provide for you okay but I was in my Bible okay and of course I had got a scripture another one specifically for this topic and I was Roman in Romans it’s comedian part of this okay in enrollment and Romans 10 17 says so faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of God so first you gotta listen and make sure that it’s the spirit and not the spirit right and then you just want to be obedient and just watch how God blesses you because our spirit will have you all discombobulated see what I did look at you swinging back to get the word you know what I’m saying love that for you Michael Lord have mercy but y’all I hope that you were blessed by this and you know feel free if there’s a project or something that you know God has put on your heart to do and you do it and you step out on faith and you become successful or you just decide to do it I want to hear about it so hit me up email me or hit me up on the comments below but we want to definitely praise you for it and give you acknowledge I’m gonna praise you because you just hit a milestone I yes we are we are 100 episodes in yeah okay y’all when you step out on FaceTime you will bless you I would have never thought I would have gotten 100 episodes this is just an idea y’all but look how God you know just came up and showed out and I’m just being obedient that’s all I’m doing some people don’t make it this far no they don’t you still
