The Best Journey

The best journeys answer questions you didn't even think to ask. Indeed, the great moments of life ask questions of you!

Who you are now is more important than who you were.

At any moment an abject failure can turn their life around by simply picking themselves up, dusting themselves off and venturing off in the right direction. Leadership is not about where you are coming from but rather what you are moving toward.

Many followers of Christ complain about feeling stuck. They wait for breakthroughs that seem to never come. To those vexed and tempted in circumstances they simply cannot change (bad marriage, financial bind, fixed income situation, illness) I encourage you to look to Jesus and recall these words: ”Since He Himself was tempted in that which He suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.” (Hebrews 2:18) Let this chapter become your journey inward, when life asks you momentous questions, such as: “Who are you? Whom do you believe in?”

For others, the best question life asks can be found in the mouths of four leprous men locked in the city of Jerusalem during a siege: “And they said one to another, ‘Why sit we here until we die?'” They boldly decided to go to the enemy's camp and see what they would do with them. They were shocked to find that God had driven their enemies out by a rumor. They left all their provisions behind. The leprous men had discovered a feast waiting for them. (2 Kings 7:3)

What can we learn from this passage? 

1. If what you are trying isn't working, TRY ANYTHING ELSE. These four lepers did, and they lived.

2. Don't wait for God to overly confirm a specific direction for you. Simply go forth and do something. Note this: the disciples “Went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word with signs that followed.” (Mark 16:19)

I LOVE THAT. The Lord promises to come alongside our activity and work with us! For me, I always find that any faith adventure or journey has an element of risk. I can't control all the details, and that leaves the door open for God to “work with” me and produce results beyond what I was even thinking!

I have learned over many years of following the Lord that taking a risk does not  have to be a scary scenario when the process and outcome  are Spirit-led.   Walking out my call in business and ministry, sharing a message of prophetic hope and insight with the nation and world, and my personal  faith walk involve daily risks.  Thank you for partnering with me many times and believing in me and the message the Father has placed within me. The risks don’t seem as tremendous when one has faithful friends and supporters lifting me up and encouraging me along the way. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me in this season?  If you are led  to partner with us, visit this link: lancewallnau.com/faith. You are sowing seeds that impact nations and  generations—there will be a harvest!

Begin a fresh adventure. Pick up the phone and make the call you dread, go over to the office and visit, type up the proposal and send it. Take action by faith and watch what shows up!
