Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

John 7:16-18

Have you ever wondered whether a voice is speaking for God or simply speaking for itself? In John 7, Jesus teaches that those who truly seek God's will can discern whether a message comes from heaven or from human ambition, reminding us that Discerning The Holy requires both spiritual sensitivity and a humble heart. What is High and Lifted Up is not the pursuit of personal glory, but a life so aligned with God's purpose that truth becomes more important than recognition. For a people who have often had to distinguish authentic leadership from self-serving leadership, this passage reminds us that holy discernment pays attention not only to what is said but also to why it is said. Dream Big, because God's purpose for your life is greater than applause, popularity, or personal gain—it is about impact, legacy, and transformation. Decide To Become someone who seeks God's approval above public opinion, understanding that true greatness is rooted in service, integrity, and truth. Demonstrate Your Power by living with authenticity, pursuing purpose over prestige, and allowing your life to reflect God's character, because when your motives are anchored in God, your influence will stand High and Lifted Up.
