7 Signs God Is About to Do Something Big in Your Life

God rarely moves without preparation. Just as He gave Noah instructions before the flood (Genesis 6) and told Elijah to wait by the brook before the miracle (1 Kings 17), He often signals His next move in our lives.

If you’ve been sensing a shift but aren’t sure what’s coming, pay attention to these seven signs that God is about to do something big.

1. Unusual Divine Restlessness

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV)

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end."

• You feel a holy dissatisfaction with the status quo.

• Comfort zones no longer satisfy you.

• There’s an inner stirring, like something is coming but you can’t yet see it.

Why this matters: God often unsettles us before He upgrades us. This restlessness isn’t anxiety—it’s divine anticipation.

2. Doors Closing Unexpectedly

Revelation 3:7 (ESV)

"What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open."

• Opportunities you relied on suddenly disappear.

• Relationships fade without explanation.

• Your own plans keep hitting dead ends.

Why this matters: God shuts doors to redirect you toward His best. What feels like rejection is divine protection.

3. Increased Spiritual Warfare

Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world..."

• You face unusual opposition in areas where you were once at peace.

• Temptations, distractions, or discouragement intensify.

• You sense an attack on your faith, health, or relationships.

Why this matters: The enemy fights hardest when he knows God is about to promote you. Stand firm—your breakthrough is near.

4. Supernatural Confirmation

2 Corinthians 13:1 (ESV)

"Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses."

• You receive the same message through Scripture, dreams, or godly counsel.

• Random encounters or sermons speak directly to your situation.

• You experience "God-incidences" that are too precise to ignore.

Why this matters: God confirms His word to prepare and strengthen your faith for what’s ahead.

5. A Season of Isolation

Hosea 2:14 (NIV)

"Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her."

• You feel set apart, even lonely, as if God has pulled you away from the crowd.

• Fewer people understand your journey.

• Your prayer life deepens in solitude.

Why this matters: Wilderness seasons aren’t punishment—they’re preparation. God often isolates before He elevates (Moses, David, Paul).

6. Sudden Divine Favor

Psalm 102:13 (ESV)

"You will arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her, the appointed time has come."

• Favor opens doors you didn’t knock on.

• People bless you unexpectedly.

• You receive opportunities that surpass your qualifications.

Why this matters: Favor is a sign of God’s timing. When He’s about to move, He positions you where grace can flow.

7. A Burden for Prayer

Romans 8:26 (NIV)

"The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us..."

• You feel compelled to pray more than usual.

• Intercession for others intensifies.

• Your spirit groans for things you can’t yet articulate.

Why this matters: Prayer burdens precede breakthroughs. God is stirring your spirit because He’s preparing to act.

How to Respond

If these signs resonate, don’t panic—prepare. Here’s how:

1. Surrender control – Trust God’s process (Proverbs 3:5-6).

2. Stay obedient – Small faithfulness leads to big promotion (Luke 16:10).

3. Guard your heart – The enemy will try to distract you (1 Peter 5:8).

4. Expect the unexpected – God’s plans exceed our imagination (Ephesians 3:20).

Habakkuk 2:3 (NIV)

"For the revelation awaits an appointed time... Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."

Your shift is coming. Stay ready.
