Ep. 35 - Stop Waiting for a Sign: Stirring Up Your God-Given Gift to Start

Jazmin Ruiz Season 3 Episode 35

Have you been feeling a tug from God to start something new—a business, ministry, or creative project—but you keep telling Him, “Lord, I need a sign first”? If so, this episode is for you.

In Matthew 16:1-4, Jesus addresses the Pharisees and Sadducees when they demanded a sign from heaven. He reminds them that signs are not the foundation of faith—trusting God’s word is. Too often, we delay obedience because we’re waiting for extra confirmation when God has already spoken.

In this heartfelt conversation, I share a word of encouragement for women who know God is calling them to begin but feel frozen by uncertainty. Drawing inspiration from 2 Timothy 1:1-7, we look at Paul’s powerful reminder to Timothy to “stir up the gift of God” within him. That same call is for you today—God has already equipped you, and now He’s inviting you to step forward in bold faith.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why waiting for a sign can keep you stuck in disobedience and delay your God-given assignment.
  • How to discern God’s timing without relying on extra signs that He may not give.
  • Practical encouragement to stir up your gift so you can start walking confidently in your calling.

Whether God is leading you to launch a business, write a book, step into leadership, or start a ministry, you’ll leave this episode with renewed courage to act. You’ll be reminded that His presence is your assurance and His Spirit is your guide.

Stop waiting for perfect clarity. God’s word is enough, His Spirit is within you, and the gifts He placed in you are ready to be used for His glory. This is your sign—it’s time to start.
