If we are standing inside the "fenced" in area, we pray for protection and provision. As we build up each area in our life with excellence through God's Word and presence, we need to move forward and extend ourselves. We have to stretch ourselves and our influence.
Sometimes God will force us to move one "cone" further out by asking us take a step of blind faith in Him. Sometime He'll create opportunities in our life to take another "cone" to another level - for example our prayer life. Sometimes a passion is stirred up inside our hearts due to our life experiences or dire need we face and we are compelled to move another "cone" out a little further - ex. charity work, helping hand, etc...
Sometimes the call of God on our life is so strong to serve Him with our entire being, that He obliges us to take up our "cone" and follow Him. And follow Him until He tells us to put the "cone" down. Imagine how much you expanded your territory for His Kingdom.
We have to also at time, knock some cones down that the enemy has put up to limit our thinking, faith, prayer, and trust in God. There are "cones" we need to take up and just throw them to the side and step out of the box the enemy wants to keep us in.
Step out of the box in faith and see how far God will expand you and your influence for His glory!
Enjoy The Ride,
Cecil
