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 so appreciate your teachings and believe they are and will be “world changing”! Thank you
I just finished watching your video which included conversation on the MicroChurch and God placing believers on the “mountains”. Just last week I attended a fundraising dinner for CRU (Campus Crusade For Christ/College focus) and the CRU Communications Specialist for the Northeast Region of the US, Bret Ogburn, mentioned in his talk that for hundreds of years, more leaders in various fields (“mountains”) have attended or graduated from colleges in the Northeast (many of them prestigious colleges that were initially Christian schools) and have gone on to be leaders in their fields. He also asked the same question: What if these leaders had been Believers who lived out their beliefs?–what would those various mountains-media, education, politics, family, business, law, etc.-look like today? He was making a case for financially supporting CRU to help raise up these kinds of leaders today from the college population; but it was a similar call that God is and has been preparing His people to reach the top. Such inspiration– thanks, Lance for a wonderful message.
Very good – thank you
I feel like your meesages speak supernaturally to my “calling” and situation! I feel it is heavenly confirmation to continue the path I am chosen to do! Thank you for the reassurance. I am in education working for an international School. recently somewhat supernaturally I was promoted to Government Affairs Coordinator (because I was literally the only one in a Company of 200+ employees who had the knowledge, spoke the host country language fluently and have built up a local network in the Region over the 26 years I have lived here. I have had all kinds of challenges from the heathen administration, but am successful ..yattiyring in the outside community at superintendant and state governement Levels! It’s been a process, but your 7 mountain message gave me the spark. Please continue to preach such inspiring Messages.
I know the problem. I may have the solution. I need to hear more about my force multiplier.
Dr. Lance,
I am in a Master’s Mind Marketing group that is currently reading through Change Agent, by Os Hillman. I will definitely forward this piece to them because it is excellent in breaking down the concepts that we are looking at. As always, you’ve hit another home run.
As One,
IRH
Great answer to the question I have been asking-How do I influence the mountain God has called me to take?
Great message! I would be interested in understanding how to access people at the top of my mountain. I am not seeing any favor in this regard. Suggestions are welcomed! Be blessed!
This is world changers !
Lance – your blogs are like a breath of fresh air! I just became familiar with your website recently when I stumbled across one your videos on youtube. Interestingly enough God had spoken to me “out of the blue” recently about needing to learn about the 7 mountains…something I had only heard of once awhile ago in passing. I then “out of the blue” stumbled across your videos and website…hmmm. 🙂 I am very excited to see where God’s leading with all this. My spirit comes alive when I watch these videos – thank you!!!
