Brother, are you wandering in the wilderness? You know what I mean — stuck in the cycle of pain, regret, and resistance. You hear the whisper, but you keep walking your own path, staying in what feels safe and familiar.
Isaiah 30:15 (NASB)
“In repentance and rest you will be saved, In quietness and trust is your strength.”
That verse is a call for us men to stop resisting and start following. If you feel like God’s whisper is behind you, maybe it’s because you’ve stepped out in front of Him. Today, we’re going to talk about what it looks like to stop resisting, hear His voice, and finally walk in power.
Section 1 – The Wilderness of Resistance (Pain):Many of us live on autopilot. We resist the very promptings that could change everything — a call to forgive, to pivot, to pick up the phone and repair a relationship, to change our health habits, to lead differently at work or at home.
That resistance keeps us in pain. It keeps us stuck in the familiar, even if that familiar is killing us. Like walking the same circle every day — it feels normal, but it’s the reason we never get unstuck.
The pain is not just circumstance — it’s a signal. It’s God’s whisper saying, “Son, this is not where I want you to stay.”
Section 2 – The Whisper Behind You (Purpose):Because when you hear Him behind you, it means you’ve gone ahead of God. You’re leading yourself instead of letting Him lead you.
Following requires trust. It requires laying down control and stepping into the unknown. That’s why it feels uncomfortable. That’s why we resist.
But this is where purpose is revealed. When you stop, listen, and pivot, you realize God has already gone ahead to prepare the path. Your role is to walk in His steps.
Section 3 – Pivoting into Power (Power):The more you obey, the more you listen, the more comfortable the pivot becomes. Like walking in the opposite direction around the room — it feels awkward at first, but eventually your mind and body adjust.
Obedience leads to breakthrough. Each pivot moves you out of pain, reveals your purpose, and positions you to walk in power.
Here’s your action plan:
Write the vision. Journal what you hear God saying today.
List three steps. Identify three small actions you can take this week.
Act immediately. Don’t resist — move on one prompting right away.
Stay aware. When resistance rises, pause and declare: “This is the way, I will walk in it.”
End with gratitude. Each night thank God for one moment of obedience.
Closing Call to Action:Brother, stop resisting. Don’t stay in the wilderness. Step back behind God. Let Him lead.
