The Lifted Warrior
Lord Give Me A Sign
Episode notes
What if your constant plea for signs from God is actually blocking your spiritual breakthrough?
In this challenging episode, we confront a widespread habit in Christian culture that subtly undermines our faith journey: demanding signs before taking action. When we find ourselves saying, "God, if you want me to do this, just show me a sign," we're revealing a fundamental misunderstanding of how faith works.
Jesus didn't mince words when confronting the Pharisees and Sadducees on this very issue, calling them "an evil and adulterous generation" for demanding miraculous proof. But why such harsh language? Because demanding signs reveals we've positioned ourselves in opposition to God's sovereignty and authority. We've forgotten that the Holy Spirit dwelling within us is already the ultimate sign of God's presence and guidance.
Throughout Scripture, we see a consistent pattern that many of us have backwards: signs follow faith, not the other way around. Abraham witnessed God's provision only after demonstrating complete trust. Moses performed miracles after his encounter with God and step of faith. When Jesus healed people, He often declared, "Your faith has made you whole."
Many believers miss God's provision because they've stepped off His intended path while waiting for confirmation. His cloud of revelation hovers over the right path—not wherever we've wandered seeking proof. The solution isn't more signs but deeper faith, built through daily immersion in God's Word and small steps of obedience that build confidence in recognizing His voice.
God is raising up a generation who won't require multiple confirmations before obeying—believers who understand that the Holy Spirit within them is already sufficient guidance. Will you be among them? Your challenge: identify what God is asking of you right now, and take action without demanding further signs. The world is ripe for revival, but God is seeking those who will move when He speaks.
