When God Calls You to Destiny: 4 Divine Signals It’s Time to Level Up
“I still remember the goosebumps that ran down my arms as I stared searchingly at the self-help aisle. The same thought kept invading my mind: ‘You’re destined for more than this.’ But as an unemployed college dropout with $18 in my bank account, destiny felt like a cruel cosmic joke…”
Have you been there too? Stuck wondering if you’re going crazy because despite all outside evidence, something deep inside whispers – you’re meant for greatness beyond present reality.
Good news – you’re tuned into signals from the divine hand behind human destiny. Bad news – the elevation process rarely looks like the inspiring movie montage with soaring background music as your life magically transforms overnight after some motivating speech from that one mentor who believes in you.
In reality, destiny unfolds more like a winding labyrinth shrouded in darkness with lots of sharp turns, dead ends, moments of disorientation and temptation to turn back. Until one day, you reach the center where your hidden potential finally surfaces welcomed by cheering soul-tribe that was awaiting your arrival all along.
So how do you find courage to keep tracing unfamiliar territory when the horizon remains obscured?
You learn the signposts – 4 of them according to spiritual leader Prophet Lovy – that assure you of two things:
- You’re heading the right direction so ignore outside critics
- Divine elevation is around the next corner preparing to catch you by holy surprise
Signpost #1: When Everything Goes Wrong Despite Your Best Efforts
Have you heard the story of “Jon and Sarah” – names changed for privacy?
They uprooted a thriving California-based business to launch an orphanage in Fiji after receiving vivid dreams of helping suffering children on a faraway island. Within months, they lost their entire life savings to a fraudulent contractor while initial housing plans collapsed. No children emerged either.
They nearly abandoned ship convincing themselves it was all “misguided religious fanaticism.” Until they received an email inquiry out of the blue from a couple who wanted to collaborate on building an orphanage somewhere in the South Pacific after selling their own business!
Today over 63 children have a loving home at the fully funded PeaceLily Villa orphanage and community wellness center staffed by nurses and trauma counselors too.
But not before a “dark night of the soul” period struck the founders with failure after failure jeopardizing the entire mission into which they had invested their identities, relationships, hopes and finances.
Sound familiar?
Biblical leadership legends like Noah, Moses, and David among others navigated plunging misfortune right as divine destiny zeroed in. Speculation gave way to public spectacle giving way to supernaturally vindicating victory as they clung to holy promises undergirding their purpose despite persecution.
“When everything falls apart despite righteous efforts, it may feel like cruel betrayal,” shares Prophet Lovy. “But in reality it is God separating the Son of Man’s table from the enemy’s so He can abundantly re-set it by His design as confirmation unfolds.”
God allows us to first fully exhaust own limited resources wrestling to make a holy dream reality by grit and gifts alone until we rest utterly dependent on Him to provide in due season. He gets the full spotlight upon the amazingly miraculous turnaround leaving no question the resurrection power source flows straight from Heaven.
What current chaos signals pending celebration in your story?
Signpost #2 – Deep Down You Know You’re Destined for Greatness
“Who do you think you are anyway with these crazy schemes?” taunts that nagging inner critic.
And fair enough. Insecurities often originate from past traumatic failures, current disappointing circumstances, or projections of worried well-wishers warning, “Better safe than sorry!”
Yet…if you tune below the mental static something different echoes.
“But what if I AM destined to spearhead that solution?” you argue back internally. An almost supernatural stirring simmers within whirling wild dreams into concrete vision backed by improbable waves of creative strategy bubbling just below the surface of conscious thought.
It feels like holy hot-air ballooning. Climb into the basket by saying Yes despite AlarmBells demand you cut loose sandbags of doubt that threaten to plummet aspirations back down to mediocrity. With heart racing, you fire up faith flames while releasing more deadweight deductions and despair. Suddenly breathless revelation rushes in – you are lifting off at last!
Still the ride may get rocky as the winds of opportunity gust unanticipated turbulence. That’s why confirming signposts lend confidence to course-correct rather than abort mission. God reminds us that just as history’s revolutionaries faced fierce opposition, we’re in good company. The darkest hour stretches right before the dawn.
A landmark study on entrepreneurs tracked the brainwaves of participants as they worked towards bringing breakthrough ideas to reality. All expressed irrational conviction that they would succeed wildly despite having no experience or evidence beyond an inner holy hint. The actual creative trigger? Alpha brainwave surges in the frontal lobe synced to divine destiny downloads that neuroscience now confirms can and DO permeate human consciousness overriding “common sense” odds.
Some might call it hubris. But what feels like overblown human ego is often God-given glimpses into our epic Eleazar destiny.
So take heart. What naysayers call delusional, but the Spirit confirms as vision, aligns you with history’s world-changing giants who embraced holy promptings despite statistics shouting, “Impossible!”
Signpost #3 – Outgrowing Relationships, Projects & Places
When bluebirds first venture from crowded nests, they often circle back to familiar tree branches while mastering early flight. But soon neighborhood rooftops offer appealing new perches. Skyward glimpses reveal vast horizons awaken adolescent dreams of exploring distances only adult wings can reach. As strength and precision grows, they phase out old habitat.
Our soul development follows similar scope and sequence. As divine awakening stirs conviction in unseen potential, we initially cling to old comfort zones – relationships, jobs, housing situations, cities – hesitant to risk-test new waters solo. Until one day, pent-up revelation ruptures restlessness outgrowing current containers. Suddenly we don’t vibe with childhood friends still fixating on past drama. Hollow power struggles sap energy at uninspiring workplaces. Even favorite restaurants lose charm as spiritual appetite craves more substance.
Holy prompts signal it’s time to elevate by exiting the familiar.
Moses traverse from desert isolation to leading millions across the Red Sea on exodus to destiny is one of the Bible’s most extreme examples. Joseph likewise level jumped from convicted con artist slave to administrating all Egypt second only to Pharaoh overnight.
Even Jesus himself repeatedly withdrew from all-too familiar crowds into wilderness wildernesses heeding the Spirit’s mysterious summons towards destiny’s next explosive chapter. He invested focused foundation-building energy in just twelve faithful apostles as change agents to ignite coming Kingdom movements.
Spiritual trailblazers throughout history aligned actions to God’s appointed hour through divine intuition without full logic or logistics. They simply sensed the inner shift reaching critical mass – then boldly departed outdated contexts despite outside concerns. God connected dots in due time.
Take inventory. Do you find yourself increasingly allergic to stagnant situations that once sustained you? Did past dreams lose luster replaced by inflamed inspiration towards riskier adventures you can’t shake?
Divine elevation may involve being suddenly sidelined, redirected or replaced from previous projects and associations. But as you shift focus to pioneered terrain, take comfort – destiny’s doors open uniquely to those bold enough to knock.
Your efforts aren’t being rejected but rather – redirected.
Signpost #4 – Recognizing You’ve Outgrown Current Place
The squirming frustration builds slowly over months, even years. School subjects lose edge as you consistently outpace peers. Internship tasks grow tedious offering little challenge. Leadership roles leave you empty although others celebrate your model success.
Ever been there?
“Lord, I’m grateful for how far you’ve brought me,” you pray restlessly. “But I know there are greater works ahead.”
When present plateau can no longer contain your gifts, you’ve outgrown current placement. Stretching towards new levels always feels awkward and scary. But Psalms reminds us God intentionally leads proteges into unfamiliar wildernesses to tenderly test and expand travailing hearts (66:10-12) that cling to Him alone – not self-sufficiency – for navigational guidance.
Destiny continually reconstructs our boundaries right when we get cozy or worse yet – prideful. Don’t resist transition tension. Let it propel you higher.
Reality check – you will often perplex onlookers in the process. Prophet Lovy notes, “People start questioning why you still show up in outdated environments that limit potential and stunt growth.” Outsiders misinterpret our outgrown status which proves painfully misunderstood, rejected and opposed initially.
Yet by sovereign design the tension builds hunger for long-awaited spiritual nourishment and navigation coming from fresh faces that champion the “new you.” As we shed smaller versions of self, God sovereignly leads us into relationships and partnerships that sound boarding maturing dreams, connect resources and run relays to pass destiny’s baton.
Get ready for surprising co-labors. Unlikely allies. Shared dreams. Quantum leaps. Long sought affirmations. Outgrown always precedes “new growth” as God replaces Babel’s confusing voices with Heaven’s native tongue guiding us into established identity and assignments. Listen for the Spirit’s commission into new ventures. Divinely dissatisfied hearts position you for elevation as God lovingly leverages introspection towards more.
In Summation – Confirming the Signs
Transformational expert John Maxwell famously declared, “We are all designed for areas of greatness.” Question is – do you possess the codes to unlock Heaven’s GPS concerning your customized greatness?
Be encouraged. Prophetic voices like Lovy Elijah tap into divine insights to demystify the elevation process for our empowerment. Roadmaps make previously intimidating terrain surmountable right? Spiritual signposts assure us we’re securely on the fast track even when it feels more like free fall. Suddenly, we recognize each phase:
“Oh THAT’s what this sign signifies! God is repositioning me again!” Relief washes our embattled emotions with hope. We realize valleys lead to victories as new Spirit-connectionssurface to confirm coming explosions of long-awaited purpose. God winks with wisdom through trusted mentors who speak advocate identity, calling and commission over us.
The question remains – will you embrace your Epic Eleazar destiny as God elevates you into expanded dimensions of customized influence, impact and legacy? Allow Spirit-wind to direct your sails towards priority Kingdom targets.
It’s time to set course for the fullness of joy that awaits at destiny’s port. The world needs YOU…
