In this sermon excerpt, the speaker confronts listeners who constantly ask God for new revelations while ignoring clear, already‑given instructions. He argues that God’s guidance is progressive: He first calls believers to simple, everyday acts of obedience before assigning larger, more demanding tasks. Using the biblical story of the rich young ruler, the speaker illustrates how people reject God’s call when the required obedience feels too great. He emphasizes that true clarity and a lifestyle of obedience arise when believers faithfully follow the small steps God has already spoken, rather than seeking fresh revelations or grand assignments before they are ready.

Chapters

He directs the steps of the obedient. Many of you are begging God to speak to you because deep down you know what he's already said and you don't like it. Some of you can't even pray. You can't even pray because you don't want to hear what you know God is telling you to do. And every time you go to pray, you finally get back to the root of it. You leave and say, okay, I'm not willing to go there. You're like the rich young ruler who goes away sorrowfully. Because the instruction was too much. Why is God going to give us step 10? We haven't even obeyed step 1. God, use my life, send me across the oceans to preach the gospel, when you haven't even went across the street to preach to your neighbor. The voice of God is progressive, and he speaks. And when you obey, you live a lifestyle of obedience, there's perfect clarity.
