How to Know When God is About To Give You Something Big

Have you been feeling that quiet pressure in your spirit… like something is shifting, but you can’t fully see what’s next? In this message, Pastor Robin Schawz shares a clear, grounded way to recognize when God may be preparing you for something *bigger*—not just more success, but deeper freedom, deeper purpose, deeper peace, and sometimes a door that changes your entire path.

Here’s the key truth we’ll return to again and again: God prepares the person before He opens the door.

If you’ve been interpreting discomfort as punishment, delays as rejection, or silence as abandonment—this teaching will help you see the patterns of grace that God often uses right before a breakthrough.

We’ll anchor everything in Scripture (not vibes), including the promise of Romans 8:28—that God can work even painful seasons into good for those who love Him—and the Gospel wisdom that true growth often comes through pruning, surrender, and trust.

this video, you’ll learn:

How to recognize holy discomfort without panicking or running
Why resistance can intensify when you’re about to grow (and how to discern it wisely)
What to do when God feels silent—without rewriting His character
How to let go with obedience (not bitterness) so your hands are free to receive
A simple routine to build expectancy into a stable spiritual rhythm

Scripture & Catholic anchors mentioned / referenced:

Romans 8:28 — God works all things for good for those who love Him
John 12:24 — the grain of wheat must die to bear much fruit
The Cross and Resurrection as the measure of God’s love (not the smoothness of your path)
Discernment wisdom from St. Ignatius of Loyola (consolation vs. desolation)

Fidelity in dryness through the witness of St. Teresa of Ávila

24-Hour Challenge (don’t skip this)

For the next 24 hours, every time anxiety whispers, “What if nothing changes?” answer out loud:

“God is preparing me, and I will stay faithful.”

Then take one small obedient step: a prayer, an act of kindness, a moment of discipline, a refusal to return to an old habit.

🙏 Short Prayer from the video:

“Lord Jesus, I place my life in Your hands… When You are silent, give me perseverance… When You open the door, keep my heart humble and grateful… Jesus, I trust You. Amen.”
