Moving With God Instead of Camping in Comfort

When I talk about strategic mobility, I’m really asking you one simple question:

Are you geared up for war but still sitting by the campfire?

In natural warfare, an army can have the best weapons, the sharpest strategy, and the fiercest training, but if they’re stuck, surrounded, or unwilling to move, they lose. Mobility is not a luxury. It’s a requirement.

The same is true in the Spirit.

Jesus did not say, “Stay and wait until the world comes to you.”
He said:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…” (Matthew 28:19, NKJV)

At The School of Ministry, we train you to go in your city, your sphere, your assignment, and in some cases, the nations. Training is never meant to end in theory; it must manifest in movement.

The Danger of Being a Well-Equipped, Immobile Soldier

Picture this: A fully armored soldier. Helmet on, sword sharpened, shield polished, battle-plan memorized, and then he curls up by the fireplace and never leaves the house.

That’s what many believers do spiritually.

• We study the Word.

• We learn about spiritual warfare.

• We talk about revival.

• We sit in powerful services.

But the real war is not happening inside our Christian bubbles. It’s happening:

• In the streets of our cities.

• In unreached villages and neighborhoods.

• In jails and prisons.

• In strip clubs, trap houses, and drug dens.

• In boardrooms, classrooms, and living rooms.

No matter how strong your prayer life is, how sharp your theology is, or how anointed your encounters are, if there is no mobility, there will be no real takeover.

In our Foundations of Faith guide from The School of Ministry, we emphasize that doctrine is the foundation, but obedience is the building. You’re not just called to know the faith; you’re called to move in it.

Battle Skills Are Formed on the Field, Not Just in the Classroom

A soldier doesn’t become skilled by only reading manuals on warfare. He becomes skilled in warfare by actually engaging the enemy.

The same is true with spiritual warfare:

• You don’t learn deliverance only by reading about demons; you learn by casting them out.

• You don’t learn intercession only by taking notes on prayer; you learn by travailing for souls, cities, and nations.

• You don’t learn evangelism only by hearing testimonies; you learn by opening your mouth to share the Gospel with real people.

Our manuals, courses, and devotionals are your Kingdom war scrolls but the scroll is only powerful when it’s opened, believed, and acted on.

Two Kinds of Strategic Mobility

For some of you, mobility will be geographic. For others, it will be relational and emotional. Let me break that down.

1. Geographic Mobility

For some believers, being mobile means literally relocating:

• Moving to another city or nation as an evangelist or missionary.

• Relocating to attend Bible school or the School of Ministry Academy so you can be trained for your assignment.

• Saying “yes” when the Lord calls you to plant a church, build a hub, or pioneer a work in spiritually dry places.

In our A–Z Commentary, we see this pattern over and over again: Abraham leaves his land at God’s word, the apostles are “sent ones,” and the early Church spreads because they moved when God spoke.

God is still moving people like chess pieces on a board—strategically liberating regions through obedient, mobile sons and daughters.

2. Mobility Right Where You Are

For others, mobility will look like this:

• Stepping out of your Christian-only bubble.

• Leaving the safety of “church friends only” to intentionally build relationships with unbelievers.

• Going into ghettos, shelters, rest homes, hospitals, college campuses, or prisons to minister the Gospel.

You may never move countries, but you must move beyond your comfort zone.

You cannot win the world for Christ if your entire life is spent inside the four walls of a church, talking only to people who already know Him.

The Biblical Pattern: Everyone God Uses Is Mobile

Think about it:

• Abraham left his land.

• Moses left the backside of the desert to confront Pharaoh.

• Joshua marched into hostile territory.

• David ran toward Goliath, not away from him.

• The prophets went where God sent them, even when it was dangerous.

• The early believers in Acts “turned the world upside down”—not by sitting on pews for an hour on Sunday, but by living as a mobile, Spirit-led invasion force.

In our commentary materials, Abraham is called a “sent one,” and believers are described as those who move under God’s authority, like soldiers under a commander.

The pattern is clear: immobility and destiny do not coexist.

Heart Check: Am I Actually Mobile for God?

Let me ask you straight:

• If God asked you to relocate today, would you even be willing?

• If He prompted you to walk across the street to your neighbor, would you actually go?

• When was the last time you shared the Gospel with someone who doesn’t already know Jesus?

• Have you allowed fear, comfort, routine, or busyness to spiritually paralyze you?

• Is your Christianity built around attendance…or assignment?

Take a moment and sit with these questions. Don’t rush past the conviction—this is the Holy Spirit inviting you into movement.

Activation: Moving From Theory to Action

I don’t want you to just read this. I want you to activate it.

Here’s a simple pathway you can start today:

1. Ask the Holy Spirit for Your “Next Move.”
   Pray: “Lord, what is one step of mobility you’re asking of me right now?”
   It might be a phone call, a conversation, an apology, a new ministry, or a geographic shift.

2. Identify Your Comfort Zone.
   Write down where you tend to hide:

   • “I only feel safe with Christians.”

   • “I never talk about faith at work.”

   • “I’ve been afraid to say yes to missions or ministry training.”

3. Choose One Battlefield This Week.
   Ask God: “Where are You already at war that You’re inviting me into?” A coworker, a campus, a street corner, an online space, a family member.

4. Pair Mobility With Intercession.
   Before you move, pray. In our Kingdom Intercession: How to Pray and Intercede manual, we teach that intercession prepares the ground and sustains the work you're going, and your praying must be married.

5. Take One Risky Step of Obedience.
   Text the person. Start the conversation. Visit the prison. Volunteer with outreach. Share your testimony. Apply for the training. Obedience is the doorway to new authority.

Journaling Prompts

Take 10–15 minutes and write with the Holy Spirit:

• “Lord, where have I been armored but immobile?”

• “Show me one comfort zone you’re calling me out of.”

• “What city, people group, or sphere of society do you want my feet to touch?”

• “What would ‘strategic mobility’ look like in my life over the next 12 months?”

Let Him speak. Capture what you hear. Treat it like a war assignment.

A Simple Prayer of Surrender

Pray this out loud:

Father, in Jesus’ name,
I repent for wearing Your armor but refusing Your orders. I lay down comfort, fear, and passivity.
Make me strategically mobile for Your Kingdom.
Send me where others won’t go. Use my life outside the four walls of the church; in streets, prisons, nations, and neighborhoods. I say “yes” to movement, to risk, and to assignment.

Here I am, Lord…
Send me.
Amen.
