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.
Your words are what I’ve known in my spirit for a long time, but always felt guilty because I was not being more overt regarding my faith. I work as a counselor in a secular agency and have learned to teach Kingdom principals to my clients. I get “downloads” from the Lord and put it in a context that is not overtly religious. Over and over again my clients come and tell me that they are “going back to church,” or “I’ve turned my life back to God.” I’ve gotten terrible flack from a local Christian organization that is trying to bring churches together in our city. So your talk here really helped validate what I’ve been feeling and seeing the Lord do beyond my ability to evangelize. Thanks so much.

Brilliant
What a powerful website, thank you so much for sharing! There is a real lack of understanding in the church about the need to be covert (and its power) in the marketplace, so I appreciate your encouragement and support. Am a problem solver for my CEO (God has AMAZING ideas I would never think of!) and I’m stepping into my convergence zone in the Arts mountain, it’s exciting 🙂 Thank you, Lance, for sharing your gifts with us, please know how much it’s appreciated!
I wanted to let you know that my 15 month grandson is full agreement with your video clip! He listened, “talked back” and seemed generally excited about the content! I asked him if he agreed with what you said, he shook his head yes, and said “thank you”. I thought you would enjoy reading that you reach audiences of all ages! Blessings!
Just what we need ! I’ve been doing these things at work and they work 🙂 love your videos and blogs !
Wow thank you Lance. It is awesome to see how God is using your ministry to speak into my life and what I am going through. Your messages are an encouragement and motivation to keep on pushing ahead and staying ahead. Thank you for showing me that I am on the right path and right in the middle of my convergence.

MOST EXCELLENT Blog! It is like the iPhone: a 5th Grader can master it! I love the big video’s with big green play button and then having the written transcript right under it – EXCELLENT modeling of what you are teaching: accessibility to ALL! Become like a child to enter the Kingdom! Thank you for breaking it down and making complex issues so understandable and relateable! You are my absolute favorite! I bought a bunch of your DVD’s from Jubilee Christian Center in San Jose,Cali, where I saw you in person and had my pic taken with you! You are THE BEST! I still use concepts you taught at Jubilee!
