As I was doing my year-end reflections and planning for 2026, the Lord began to show me something very clearly — not just about me, but about many leaders who love God, have experienced success, and genuinely want more of what He has promised.
He revealed five limiters that quietly restrict our ability to see, partner with, and fully step into the assignments He has for us. These aren’t obvious sins or outright disobedience. They’re subtle internal ceilings we place on ourselves — often without realizing it.
In this episode, I share what the Lord showed me in prayer, journaling, and dreams, and how He invited me to shift my vantage point — from ground-level thinking to a heavenly perspective.
If you’re setting vision and goals for the year ahead and sense there is more available than what you’ve been seeing, this episode will help you recognize what may be limiting your sight, your faith, and your willingness to say yes.
This Episode Is for You If:
- You’ve experienced success, but sense your vision has quietly narrowed
- You feel protective of what you’ve built and hesitant to risk or stretch
- You’re planning the future based on problems to fix instead of purpose to pursue
- You want God’s vision, not just your own upgraded version
- You feel called to something bigger but feel constrained by resources, capacity, or practicality
- You’re ready to see your life, leadership, and assignment from Heaven’s vantage point
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Your Vision Can Become Short-Sighted Without You Realizing It
I realized how easily vision shrinks when we have more to protect — comfort, stability, reputation, success. We shift from dreaming with God to maintaining what we’ve built. Ground-level vision focuses on problems to fix; heavenly vision reveals purpose to steward.
God Invites Us to See from an Elevated Perspective
When I asked the Lord to show me what He sees, He radically expanded what I thought was possible. God’s vision is eternal, intergenerational, and far bigger than our personal timelines. He’s not asking us to bless our plans — He’s inviting us to partner with His.
Provision Is Not the Gatekeeper — Obedience Is
One of the strongest limiters God exposed was how easily we allow money, resources, or financial safety to dictate obedience. God does not fund ideas — He funds assignments. If He gives the vision, the provision has already been allocated.
Grace Is Capacity, Not Just Forgiveness
Grace is not only what covers our mistakes — it is the supernatural empowerment to fulfill what God has called us to do. When the assignment feels bigger than us, that’s not a sign to shrink back; it’s a sign that grace is required.
Burnout Comes from Carrying Assignments Without Grace
I’ve learned that exhaustion doesn’t come from doing too much — it comes from carrying God’s work in our own strength. When we make room for grace, alignment replaces pressure and capacity expands.

“Burnout comes from carrying assignments without grace.”
