There is nothing left in Egypt for me

Thanks to all of you who have shared what God is doing in your life during this fast. It has been a blessing and a tremendous encouragement to keep on going.

What happens when you step out of your comfort zone? Well... YOU will step into your destiny! I have learned (and continue to learn), that there is a big difference between what I am good at, and what I was created for. I am good at many things: cooking, starting successful businesses, throwing parties and organizing events. I'm good at playing tennis (or at least I was until my ankle injury). I totally LOVED doing all these things. I'm comfortable doing them, therefore there is no fear of failure. But deep, deep inside I know, this is not the end of the road. I know I was created for something else, and although I can bring glory and honor to God on all these other things that I feel comfortable doing, I can only touch the deepest parts of God's heart when I submit my ME, with all the junk, all the pride, all the fear to HIM and do what I was created for.

Is it easy? No. Failure is a scary word. Rejection is another pretty scary word. Nobody wants to be branded as a failure or be rejected. So we keep doing the "comfortable thing" and destiny becomes "the dream". A place we will get some day.  But there comes a time (and the time has come), when you are so close to the fire, and layer after layer, after later of you is being burned, that destiny is not an option anymore. It hits you right in the face and you can stare at it or you can walk into it.

My friend Trey wrote an amazing song last night during worship and one of the verses says: "Burn up the bridges, close up the sea, 'cause there's nothing left in Egypt for me!"

Egypt is our comfort zone! Egypt is what tied us up and kept us away from our destiny! Egypt is the feeling of failure and rejection! Egypt is our desire to constantly please people instead of God. We MUST LEAVE EGYPT BEHIND!

We must step into our destiny. It is right in front of us! There is a future legacy depending on it and we cannot neglect it. I don't want to be where I was 11 days ago when we start this fast and I don't want to be where I am today at the end of it. My dear friend, I hope I had stirred up your heart as much as mine is because there is a promised land waiting for you and me, but we must get out of Egypt, walk into the promised land and take it by force, we have a great God fighting by our side. Don't EVER forget that!

Still in the journey,

Karina
