Wild Ones for God: Living Bold, Surrendered Faith
There is a people God is awakening in this hour, not a reckless people, not a chaotic people, not people running around doing whatever they want in the name of “freedom.” I’m talking about people who are fully surrendered, deeply obedient, and burning for Jesus.
These are the wild ones.
And no, “wild” in the Kingdom does not mean out of control. It does not mean rebellious. It does not mean loud just for the sake of being loud.
In the world, wild usually means reckless. But in the Kingdom, wild means you are no longer controlled by fear, pride, comfort, or the approval of man. It means you have stopped trying to fit into compromised systems, and you have decided that pleasing God matters more than being understood by people.
That is the main lesson from today’s Morning Charge: God is calling His people into bold, surrendered, Spirit-led obedience.
Not someday.
Not when it is convenient.
Not when everybody understands.
Now.
One of the scriptures we looked at was Galatians 1:10, where Paul makes it clear that his goal was not to please people, but to please God. That is a line every follower of Jesus has to settle in their heart.
Because if all we are trying to do is keep people happy, we will eventually water down obedience.
We will hold back the truth.
We will stay quiet when God says speak.
We will stay comfortable when God says move.
We will delay what God told us to do because we are afraid of what someone else might think.
That is not freedom.
Proverbs 29:25 says the fear of man brings a snare. And that is exactly what it does. It traps people. It traps pastors. It traps business owners. It traps families. It traps everyday believers who know God is calling them higher, but they keep looking around for permission from people who were never assigned to approve their obedience.
The wild ones are different.
They are not governed by comfort. They are not chasing platforms. They are not living for applause. They are not waiting until every person understands their calling before they say yes to God.
They live to please Him.
In Acts 4:13, Peter and John were recognized as uneducated and untrained men, but the people could tell one thing: they had been with Jesus. That right there is powerful.
Authority does not come from credentials alone. It comes from intimacy. It comes from the secret place. It comes from being with Jesus until His boldness begins to show up in your life.
People may not understand everything about you, but they should be able to recognize Jesus in you.
That is what we are after.
We also talked about the fire of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 3:11 says Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit and fire. Acts 1:8 says we receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us.
That fire is not for show. It purifies. It exposes compromise. It burns away wrong motives. It produces bold obedience. It empowers us to witness and live the gospel in a world that desperately needs the real Jesus, not religious performance.
But here is where it gets practical: obedience has to move.
James 1:22 tells us not to be hearers of the word only, but doers. That means we cannot keep collecting revelation and never act on it.
Delayed obedience can become disobedience.
Partial obedience can become disobedience.
Selective obedience is not surrender.
If God has spoken something to you, then there is probably a step He is asking you to take. It may not be the whole picture yet. It may not be the finished product. But there is a step.
File the paperwork.
Make the call.
Start the conversation.
Serve where He told you to serve.
Leave what He told you to leave.
Build what He told you to build.
Repent where He told you to repent.
Get back in the secret place.
Whatever it is, do not just sit there and call it “waiting on God” if God is actually waiting on your obedience.
We also touched on Matthew 25 and the parable of the ten virgins. That passage reminds us that oil matters. Preparation matters. Intimacy matters.
You cannot borrow somebody else’s oil when the moment comes.
You can be encouraged by a teaching. You can be strengthened by community. You can be stirred during worship. But at some point, you have to get alone with the Lord for yourself. You have to let Him fill your lamp. You have to let Him keep the fire burning.
That is what the wild ones understand.
They stay filled when others grow comfortable.
They stay awake when others grow spiritually drowsy.
They stay surrendered when others become selective.
They stay obedient even when they are misunderstood.
So ask yourself today:
Am I fully surrendered, or just selectively obedient?
Am I being led by the Spirit, or controlled by the fear of man?
Am I carrying the fire of God, or just carrying information?
Am I actually doing what God told me to do?
This is not about hype. This is not about being different just to be different.
This is about becoming the kind of follower of Jesus who walks with fire, humility, boldness, discernment, and obedience.
The wild ones are not on the way.
They are here.
And God is calling His people to rise.
