The number one lie of the enemy:
YOU ARE NOT READY YET! Do not listen to this voice.
Remember – if it's the truth that sets you free, then it’s a lie that holds you captive. The lie you must overcome is that you need more preparation, money, time, experience, or confirmation.
Look at the business graph I attached. The dotted line is your track and the solid line is the opportunity.
1. At first, you sense an opportunity. Your spirit gets a glimpse of something.
2. The moment arrives where you need to take action, see what works and what does not work and make adjustments.
3. You are over thinking, waiting to be certain, looking for confirmation. Over-analysis leads to uncertainty and the state of uncertainty opens the door to confusion as you entertain too many voices and ideas.
4. Failing to take action, you come down into a “wait and see” position and watch for the moment to step into action – and miss the window.
What you needed to do is assess the situation and the opportunity and TAKE ACTION: run a pilot, test your assumptions, get in the game, take some sort of action and adapt and increase engagement! You will never feel fully ready because where you are going is always larger than where you have been.
Learn this – GOD REWARDS RISK MORE THAN CAUTION!
The parable Jesus taught about the talents is often misunderstood. The servant who feared making a mistake was punished and the servant who was aggressive about increasing market share for the Master was rewarded. Faith involves risk. BEWARE the confusion that breeds uncertainty when the time comes to ACT!

I can’t begin to express my appreciation for the timeliness of your words. You hit me right between the eyes again! God Bless you!
oh this was the “slap in the face” that i needed to wake me up. a direct and personal rebuke from the Lord. THANK YOU GOD! thanks Lance.
Dr Lance blessed by the post. This is a great post is aimed at bringing down religious thinking that always have you sitting wishin and a hopin without the least encouragement to go after and seize your Jesus moment passing you by. Circumstances are never perfect. They don’t accommodate faith they challenge it. Grace and truth is always there.
Wow! this is particularly good for those who find it hard to make up their minds about issues even with all the resources around them. Good push Dr.Lance.
Lance, thank you so much for this. When we begin to hear God calling us into something (new), – the main question that will raise its ugly head, (and very probably very promptly) is ‘What if?’ While being ‘normal’ for many of us, it reflects our world view as, at the root of it, is of course one of Satan’s main weapons-FEAR. I pray that instead of asking ‘What if?’ almost immediately, that we engage our faith and take on board your very wise suggestion to ‘take some sort of action’ (as opposed to letting fear overwhelm us and us end up doing nothing, which in the days to come may well lead to regret). I’m speaking to myself here (and of course I hope helping everyone else reading this) -put your toe in the water. Yes the ocean’s enormous, but it may well represent the breadth, length and depth of the opportunity that God wishes to bless us with, something far beyond our imagining. Far more importantly, the number of souls that we may help bring into The Kingdom may well also turn out to be far beyond our imagining also. Is it easy to take that initial step? Maybe not, but speaking personally, I know God has given me a musical gift that I’m sure He wants me to start using again in the very near future. But what if..? NO! I’m not going to entertain the thought. Kick it out guys! I’m going to trust God. I’ll pray, talk to others, take wise counsel. Leave my full-time job in the future? Well, yes, maybe..but only God knows what I and my family need and He won’t leave us in lack I’m sure. To quote Lance: ‘You will never feel fully ready because where you are going is always larger than where you have been’ .The water gently washing over our toes at the water’s edge is a great start-but let’s exercise our faith and dive in! I’m beginning the process. Who’s with me? God be praised for His amazing Holy Spirit and may He bless you Lance for your Prophetic Revelation, encouragement and obedience! It’d be amazing to meet you one day.
thank you Lance for all of your great teachings. do you have your teachings on cd? Please let me know. God bless.
Hi Lane,very helpful,thanks
This was inspiring. Thanks.
I feel very much in my spirit that the words above are directly to me from God through Lance. It’s another confirmation of what the Lord has recently put in my heart. And it’s as crazy as Sarah having a baby at age 90.
