Radical Yes: Embracing God’s Call to Expansion

There is a profound sense of holy invitation in this moment—a double invitation, both from you as a community and from the Lord Himself. The atmosphere is thick with the prophetic, and it’s clear that God is calling us into something deeper, something that cannot be contained in a single meeting or even a single year. The heart of what is stirring is this: Worthy is the Lamb. Jesus is worthy of everything we have, everything we are, and everything we could ever give.

There is a fresh invitation to radicalize our “yes” to God. Not a half-hearted, toe-in-the-water kind of yes, but a full, abandoned leap into His purposes. This yes will be challenged; it will be opposed. But when we cross the line from hesitation to wholehearted surrender, God puts His fire on our yes. The Moravians, who prayed for a hundred years and sparked a global missions movement, exemplified this radical yes. Their willingness to give everything—even to the point of selling themselves into slavery—was rooted in the conviction that Jesus is worthy to receive the reward of His suffering.

Heaven’s culture is one of extravagant giving. The elders around the throne cast their crowns—everything of value they have—at the feet of Jesus. In the same way, we are invited to recognize that everything we have is from Him, and the only fitting response is to give it all back. The righteous life is a life that receives the overflowing generosity of God and reciprocates it, not out of lack, but out of abundance.

This is a season of birthing and expansion, both for individuals and for the church. God is preparing us not just for ourselves, but to be broken and given for others. There is a call to move from being receivers to being exporters of the fruit God has cultivated in us. This will look like new expressions—music, books, media, teaching—and a fresh commissioning for mission and service beyond our walls.

God is unblocking ears and inviting us to hear His voice with new clarity. The challenge is to renew our yes, to throw our crowns at His feet, and to step into the new thing He is birthing. The deeper and brighter our yes, the more vibrant our commissioning will be. Now is the time to respond, to let go of distractions and disappointments, and to say, “Here I am, Lord. My answer is yes.”

Key Takeaways

• 1. Radicalize your “yes” to God A true “yes” to God is not partial or reserved; it is a wholehearted surrender that will inevitably face opposition. The fire of God falls on the yes that is fully given, not the one that is hedged or hesitant. When we step over the line and abandon ourselves to His call, we find ourselves empowered and set ablaze for His purposes. [55:31]
• 2. Everything we have is from Him Our crowns—our achievements, authority, and treasures—are not self-generated but received from God’s generosity. The only fitting response is to cast them at Jesus’ feet, recognizing that our lives are not our own. Living in this revelation frees us from striving and invites us into the flow of divine generosity, where giving back becomes our greatest joy. [59:53]
• 3. The righteous life is reciprocal generosity Righteousness is not just about moral standing but about receiving God’s abundance and reflecting it back through generosity. When we live with an open hand, we move from a mindset of lack to one of overflow, becoming conduits of God’s life to others. This is the practical outworking of the kingdom—receiving and giving in a continual, life-giving cycle. [68:32]
• 4. This is a season of birthing and expansion God is moving us from a season of preparation to one of being broken and given for others. This involves discomfort and stretching, but it is a sign of new life and fresh commissioning. As we step into this, God is releasing new expressions, connections, and a missions movement that will impact regions and nations. [77:53]
• 5. God is unblocking ears for fresh commissioning There is a grace right now to hear God’s voice with new clarity. Distractions and confusion are being removed so that we can receive dreams, instructions, and a fresh sense of purpose. As we respond and renew our yes, we position ourselves to be part of the new thing God is birthing in and through us. [91:26]

Bible Reading

Revelation 4:8-11 (ESV) — > And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,
> “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
> who was and is and is to come!”
> And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
> “Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
> to receive glory and honor and power,
> for you created all things,
> and by your will they existed and were created.”

Matthew 6:19-21, 22-23 (ESV) — > “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
> “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”
