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.
Thanks Lance I would love to know more information. You said if I wanted to know more you could put me in contact with other people that are at the top of their mountain. What books do you suggest? I am a senior leader of a church but feel there is so much more I should be doing to equip and train the people. I burn with this message but just need a vein to get in and strengthen my gift area. Thanks for all you are doing. I want to know more, more, more!!!!
Love this! I teach at a University in South Koreaand I totally agree with what you had to say about covert/overt ops. I haven’t watched Tv shows for maybe the past 15 years…don’t own a tv. i am surrounded by mostly non believers. One of my coworkers suggested ad even downloaded a tv show about Covert ops. I really liked tthe show and the Lord began to speak to me about it. He told me that I was in his CIA and a covert operative for the Kingdom. He told me CIA…stood for Christ In Action! How cool. I have kept tat in my mind and over the past year meditated and thought and prayed about it. Also the Lrod had given me a word one day while I was sitting in Starbucks in Korea. He told me that the Shad rachs, Mesachs, and Abednegos were being raised up in Korea. He kept saying ..thy’re coming! I again marvelled at that word and Like I was taught by my mentor , Rick joyner, I prayed about it and put it on a shelf. Today , when i heard this short teaching..my spirit leaped!!! Thanks so much! It was right on time! Just when it seems all hell is breaking loose on you and the rabshakah comes to whisper and the accuser rises up against you…God Speaks ! The voice of the Lord shatters the enemy! I am sure that this was how it must have been for Daniel in babylon and Joseph in the prison, and even Ester when she was facing the wicked Haman. Glory to God for ressurection power and life!!!!
Yes I will read more we need to be reminded often during this time ..
Good one! I posted to FB!
This is outstanding and is giving me insight already. Thanks. It makes me think of the amazing impact that one man (Greg Mortenson) and then the great group formed from him (Central Aisa Institute) and drawn to him in his sphere of influence have made in Afghanistan and Pakistan and worldwide.. Wow I’m guessing we all have the potential to radically effect the world system from the inside out. (as in Greg’s peace through education, not bombs!)
The Lord just spoke Ecclesiastes 3:11 to me this morning “He has put eternity/destiny in the hearts of men.” I believe this is why so many people , including Christians are dissatisfied. They have not discovered nor are they fulfilling that destiny that God put in their hearts before time even began.
