Let’s stop sugarcoating it: God is not calling us to “slight adjustments.” He’s not waiting for us to get a little more comfortable before we finally give Him the scraps of our time, attention, and obedience. He is calling for radical change — from me, from you, from everyone — right now.
We keep acting like we’ve got time to coast. Like tomorrow we’ll get serious about prayer. Next week we’ll open our Bibles more. Next month we’ll finally surrender that sin we’ve been hiding. But God doesn’t say, “When you’re ready.” He says, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” (Hebrews 3:15).
Comfort is killing us
The modern church loves to talk about balance, self-care, and making faith “fit into your lifestyle.” But Jesus didn’t die to fit into our lifestyle. He died to destroy our lifestyle of sin and replace it with a brand-new life.
Radical change means repentance. It means breaking cycles. It means canceling the compromise we’ve excused for far too long.
God is not passive
We treat God like He’s watching from a distance, politely waiting for us to figure it out. But the Spirit is convicting now. He is pressing on hearts now. The fire of revival starts in the places where people stop delaying obedience.
Jesus didn’t say, “Take up your cross when it’s convenient.” He said, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me” (Luke 9:23). Daily. That’s radical. That’s uncomfortable. That’s immediate.
The time is now
Every one of us has something God is asking us to change right now. For some, it’s secret sin. For others, it’s shallow faith. For others still, it’s apathy — the dangerous belief that just “believing in God” is enough without actually following Him.
But God’s Word is clear: faith without works is dead (James 2:26).
If you’re breathing, He’s calling you to more. Not later. Not when life settles down. Not when you’ve got it all together. Now.
A call to wake up
What would happen if the church actually took this seriously? If we all dropped the excuses, tore down the idols, and lived like Jesus really is King? We’d see revival. We’d see lives transformed. We’d see the radical, undeniable move of God we keep praying for.
But it starts with you. And it starts with me. Today.
So here’s the real question: What is God asking you to change — right now?
