Radical Obedience Do not be deceived, deluded, and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at—scorned, disdained, or mocked (Galatians 6:7, AMP). Our harvest is connected to the things we sow, or the deeds we do. God loves us dearly and you should know this and live with it. God wants us to do extraordinary things. He wants us to prosper and succeed in life. He is able to do exceedingly above all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). We are blessed to be a blessing to others. Examples of Radical Obedience Radical obedience is obeying God when it doesn’t make sense. a. For example, Jesus told His disciples to let down their nets and launch out into the deep, when they had finished their fishing jobs (Luke 5:4-5). b. Peter made a radical move by obeying Jesus even though he didn’t see the point in it. c. As a result, they caught a great number of fish. d. Obedience produces breakthrough. We must obey Jesus’ commands. Radical obedience is doing the will of God even when your own agenda makes more sense. e. For example, Commander Naaman became a leper and came to the prophet Elisha for help (2 Kings 5:1-14). f. Naaman did not like the instructions he received from Elisha; however, he obeyed and was healed instantly. Radical obedience is not just asking, “What would Jesus do?” Instead, being radically obedient is doing what Jesus did. *Be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only (James 1:22-25). Radical obedience is refusing to compromise when it comes to obeying God’s Word even when it means losing friends. Radical obedience means venturing outside of your comfort zone, no matter how uncomfortable or unreasonable it feels. Radical obedience is born out of delight, not duty. It is not a burden or a grudge. Radical Obedience Do not be deceived, deluded, and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at—scorned, disdained, or mocked (Galatians 6:7, AMP).
