~Middle Position vs. the Fence~

16.June.2026

If you have been with us this past week you know that we spent seven days drawing a line in the sand, stepping over it, and not looking back, because ALL IN means exactly that. Every part of you surrendered, every excuse retired, every foothold of compromise identified and evicted, and the fence, that dangerous middle ground that feels neutral but belongs entirely to the enemy, called out for exactly what it is.

I will be honest with you, there was a teaching that kept surfacing in my spirit throughout this week that I wrestled with including, and I held back deliberately, not because it was not important but because it was too important to tuck into a series that was already asking a lot of you, and I did not want it to get lost or confused with what we were addressing about the fence, because they sound similar on the surface but they are not the same thing at all.

The fence is a place of compromise, double-mindedness, and divided allegiance, and it has no business in the life of a believer who has made the decision to be ALL IN.

The middle position is something else entirely.

Jesus did not avoid the middle, He occupied it on purpose, standing between the Father and humanity, fully facing both directions simultaneously, and that was not compromise, that was the assignment, and it cost Him everything He had to hold it, which is exactly why it meant everything that He did.

As believers, that is where we are called to stand as well, between God and the people around us, fully surrendered upward and fully available outward, and you cannot hold that position halfway, you cannot stand in the middle with one foot still on the fence, because the middle position requires everything you have, which is why ALL IN was never just about you and your personal surrender, it was always preparation for something larger than yourself. “Somebody is waiting on the other side of your obedience.” ~Tim Storey~

The fence says I will not fully commit. The middle position says I am fully committed in both directions and I will hold this ground no matter what it costs me.

One is abdication. The other is assignment.

You spent a week getting ALL IN. Now you know why it mattered.

Dear Heavenly Father ~ Thank You for sending Jesus to die on the Cross just for me. I admit that I have sinned, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me. I believe that He died and rose again. Right now, I make Him the Lord of my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. My sins are washed away, my past is forgiven, and my future is bright. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’ Name Amen.

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
