You don’t need to fear the future, ever, because you've already been there.
Consider if the opposite may be true:
- What if you were built to excel in Babylon? If as we believe “darkness shall cover the earth” then the second part is true as well – “But the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you.” (Isa 60:2) What if the problems of the last days are actually the platform for your promotion?
- You have a call on your life and a work to do. You glorify God by “finishing the work” He called you to do. (John 17:2) The level of complexity in the problem that you solve shapes the degree of glory you demonstrate.
- Joseph, David and Daniel all entered their circle of greatest influence when they solved the greatest problem in the sphere they were called to occupy. Think about that. It is that way for you as well.
The key to everything is YOUR ASSIGNMENT.
- Your assignment is an invitation to push your capacity to a new peak. Your assignment is a problem waiting for you to show up to solve it.
- Caleb was in his 80’s when he said these memorable words, “Give me my mountain.” How did he see giants? “They shall be bread for us.” The giant problem you solve is how you get your bread. The same spirit of faith that was in Caleb is in you.
- Fear by its very nature will paralyze you and cause you to hesitate and hold out at your present level. However, when you stop going up you stop growing up to full stature, in fact the root meaning of the word “mediocre” is “half way up” the mountain.
You can do better, no matter what level of success you have achieved because there are invisible leverage points that enable you to earn more and accomplish more with less sweat. These are called “spiritual force multipliers.” You don’t build a brilliant future by fixing your faults, but by investing time, money and training in the area of your gifts. That’s where you excel, and as a believer the place of your assignment is where the excellent spirit operates through you.
I’m retired 🙂 I am fully involved in using my artistic and creative talents. I’m amazed at what the Lord is doing. I want to thank you Lance for the E-Book. It is such a blessing. I have been hearing from the Lord daily and I love it.
I will pass this on to others. This is actually what I am hearing from HIM in this day. It is done…Believe and move accordingly.
But Islam came after Christ.
Thanks Lance. Makes sense because that’s the way God works in us and around us.
My spirit jumps up and down when I read these things!! I connect with it. I seem to be at a stale mate right now in my life but i know there’s another move. i just don’t want to move too quickly (learned a hard lesson on that one) I sense “stuff” is happening in the unseen – God is moving; His Word is working and these emails from Lance shine light from a different angle. It helps me to focus on the big picture. i need more of this to pull me up and out of narrow, small, limited vision!
Thank you! I have sent this to 5 friends/family and will send to even more!
Have applied for Corporate IT Mgr, with a six-figure income, to a Fortune 1000 company that invited me to apply because of my professional career history, which they already verified. I worked as a Fortune 300 IT Consultant with Fortune 500 clients, AND, President Reagan, when in office, wanted me to consolidate the whole country’s data processing, but I was too young to have the confidence to know that I really could pull it off with the Lord’s help. This company is specifically looking for WOMEN to fill their corporate ranks–WHY? Good Question! I don’t know the answer to that yet as the Lord hasn’t let me in on the secret. However, they are planning on expanding into the middle East. I did not get to where I was in my career by being a submissive female either. The Lord has been giving me dreams & visions about what to do on this job–He’s already told me the company will hire me. The Lord told me in a prophetic word that He was preparing their hearts to receive me. This would be a 7-fold restoration as in Proverbs 6:30-31 for all I’ve lost since being disabled & now healed by the Lord. I’ll just have to wait & see what the Lord has in store, I guess. Does this sound like “an Excellent Spirit.” The Lord has also told me three years ago that I was a “problem solver.” Do you have any insight from Holy Spirit on this or suggestions? Anything will help as confirmations.
Last night the Holy Spirit wakened me repeatedly and each time he said the same thing 2 times: “Not one stone will be left upon another.” This is a quote from Matthew 24:2. I believe God is speaking to His people. We will do well to draw near to His Tree of Life and not fill our head with the knowledge of good and evil. Stay close to his heart, hear his voice, obey. He loves us utterly.
I totally agree with you we should be drawing nearer to The Lord.
Love your insights and wisdom in this hour. I believe that you are one of the ones The Lord is using to empower the church for the days ahead. Thank you very much for this.
I once had a dream job (or so I thought it was) and it was lost. Now I feel like such a wanderer and so disappointed and so frustrated. I’ve been told several times that I am highly intelligent and G-d has me for the end time. Also been told that G-d is waiting for me though I don’t know (at least consciously) what that means? I’m open for G-dly feedback as to what steps I should be taking right now.
