The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count

"Your bold step today may be the miracle someone else needs tomorrow"

• Someone is waiting for YOUR obedience

• Core question: What if your bold step is the answer to someone's prayer?

• Esther 4:14 - "for such a time as this"

THE RIPPLE EFFECT OF OBEDIENCE

• Esther's story - Her courage saved a nation

• Moses (Exodus 3-4) - His "yes" freed millions

• Jonah - His delayed obedience almost cost Nineveh

• Truth: Your obedience sets miracles in motion for others

THE COST OF HESITATION

• Delayed obedience = delayed miracles

• 1 Corinthians 16:9 - Great door AND many adversaries

• Fear, doubt, perfectionism are resistance in disguise

• Isaiah 6:8 - "Here am I. Send me!"

BIBLICAL BLUEPRINT FOR BOLD STEPS

1. LISTEN - Nehemiah 1:4 (prayer & fasting)

2. STEP - Luke 5:4-6 (launch into the deep)

3. TRUST - Hebrews 11:8 (Abraham went not knowing)

4. PERSIST - Nehemiah 4:6 (build despite opposition)

5. WATCH - John 9:3 (God's works displayed)

CALL TO ACTION

• Acts 16:9 - "Come over and help us"

• Someone's deliverance is tied to your obedience
