A PERSONALIZED CALLING

JULY 11, READING FOR THE DAY

Before we jump into today's GREAT lesson I want to let you know that the next few weeks will be very busy for me. I am preparing to leave for a large women's conference in North Carolina on July 22 and have a book proposal due for a workbook. I will be meeting with a book publisher during that conference time.

It has been very hard to prepare and focus with all the summer fun, family times that create lifetime memories and all the great sunshine. However, I am down to the last couple of weeks and I need to get serious. Please pray for me as I prepare for this conference. I will continue to blog as time allows but the daily blogs will pick back up consistently when I return.

Today I opened up to the book of PSALMS  and did today's reading,PSALM 1-3. If you click the date above it will take you directly to the days reading.

It captured my heart and reminded me of the importance of Godly obedience.

The last few days I have been INTERNALIZING this statement: THE GREAT THINGS GOD WILL DO THROUGH YOU ARE GOING TO GROW IN THE SOIL OF PERSISTENCE, PRAYER, OBEDIENCE AND SACRIFICE.

YOU WILL PAY A TREMENDOUS PRICE TO OPERATE IN AN AUDACIOUS ANOINTING.

When we decide to cross over in the bigger dreams then God begins to cut away. He wants to bless us so bad that it will blow our minds! God's ways are always about positioning us to receive help and blessings.

God is cutting away in several areas in my life at this present time...I know the areas and I admit that I struggle with obedience.
BUT, I refuse to slack off, I will keep doing what God told me to do.

In today's lesson we learn that God desires for us to examine, experience and evaluate our lives. When we meditate on Gods word and receive counsel from the right inner circle we will receive: STABILITY, INWARD NOURISHMENT AND REFRESHMENT, FRUITFULNESS AND PRODUCTIVITY, STRENGTH AND DURABILITY AND
SUCCESS!

Be careful where you get your counsel from. Many people want to help you prosper but counsel without God first will not fully prosper you in the long run. Our view of God is the most important thing about us.In the next few weeks we will be reading the book of psalms. This will help your heart capture the correct VIEW of God! I challenge you to examine your view and relationship with God. 

Allow God to renew your heart today just by submitting your heart to His care, you cannot move forward into the next victor he has planned for you life until He has your heart!

God has a personalized calling for your life my friends!
I encourage you to read psalm 1... three times today!

Blessings and thanks for your prayers and encouragement in the next few weeks as I prepare for this July 22 conference!

PERSONAL HARDSHIPS

JULY 6 Daily Reading

I was away for a week with my family at my dads lake house. A time with family, friends and NO AGENDA or APPOINTMENTS! 

 During my time away a friend made a comment to me during the beginning of the long week that ringed in my heart the entire Fourth of July weekend.

Friday night while sitting by the lake under the stars, laughing and sharing stories about the good, bad and HARDSHIPS in life... the comment came...

 "Heather you are very BLESSED."

This comment was even more powerful because it came from a person that barely knows me. 
This was not a random sentence that got lost in between the many other words we shared that night. This sentence stayed with me all weekend long.

I AM BLESSED

HOWEVER, I have experienced HARDSHIPS in life that have dragged me around BUT my Savior always continued to drag me further into His heart, CREATING MY REAL FREEDOM!

Today I want to encourage and strengthen you to remain true to the Faith. We must go through hardships.

HARDSHIPS are "light and momentary troubles that are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." 2 Corinthians 4:17

When your going through difficulties in life they never seem light or momentary, but remember as we learn in today's reading in ACTS Chapter 14 that Paul is comparing our hardships with an eternal glory.

HARDSHIPS ARE UNAVOIDABLE BECAUSE:

1. God wants to GIVE US and TEACH us eternal victory by working His glory in a through our hard times

2. SATAN wants to bring us defeat by causing us to struggle and fall

3. Sin and disobedience can be a direct  
   result of hardships.

Hardships are unavoidable in this life because of the glorious nature of God and the hateful nature of Satan and the daily discipline of self.

I have experienced all three hardships and God always wanted to redirect my energy toward getting to know HIM and LOVE HIM through His word allowing me to be equipped for anything!

Hardships motivated me to redirect my focus from FEAR to FAITHFULNESS. 

Our hearts can get very sore from hardships, but still be beating. You are ALIVE my friend and life is still strangely abundant.

Allow God to encourage you through the hardships. My personal hardships taught me how to RESPOND to the ACTIVITY of God. My hardships have brought me into a MORE BLESSED LIFE.

Satan is always wanting to create hardships, this weekend I was thankful for my freedom from past formal sin and reminded that I need to stay wise to avoid anything that would place me close enough to the vacuum to be sucked back in to self created hardships.

FREEDOM IS FOUND IN STAYING FAR AWAY FROM THE VACUUM THAT WANTS TO SUCK YOU BACK IN!

May God strengthen you today in your hardships and redirect your focus from fear of the trials to Faithfulness. I also encourage you to be WISE and know where the hardship is coming from.

BLESSINGS,

SECURE LEADERS GIVE POWER TO OTHERS

JUNE 29TH DAILY READING

LETS ZOOM IN ON ACTS 9:27

²⁷ But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus

A secure leader is very important in the shaping of ones calling.


When you sit under leadership in a business, church ministry or program that cannot or will not empower others it will create barriers within the organization and within your personal calling.


God wants to maximize your potential and He uses others to empower you!


Theodore Roosevelt realized and explained"the best executive is one who has the sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and the self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it."


It is so important to be around leaders that EMPOWER others by helping them feel valuable as they develop.


BARNABAS in today's reading was definitely a LID LIFTER type person. It seems as though he let no opportunity escape to add value to others. His greatest contribution was in terms of empowerment!


Barnaba's looked for opportunities to bring people before other leaders to help then make a connection and strengthen their credibility.

 In the book of ACTS you see that he empowered Paul to reach his potential.

 Barnabas pretty much endorsed Paul so that he was then able to move freely throughout Jerusalem, teaching the people the truth of scripture. 
God had a specific role destined for Paul and he chose Barnabas to invest and empower Paul to become his BEST!


Empowering people takes a personal investment. It requires energy and time. But it's worth the price. If we take time to empower others we will have the privilege of seeing someone move up to a higher level. And as an added bonus, when you empower others you create power for your own organization.


I am thankful today for Secure leaders that God has placed in my pathway. Leaders that are more concerned in empowering others. A big thank you to Pastor Dave Ferranti for believing in my next steps as Barnabas did with Paul.

I have Big DREAMS...
I encourage my readers to dream big too!

 However, it is very important to be around secure leaders that embrace and empower those dreams.

Do you need a lift on your dreams today? Pray for God to bring others into your pathway to influence your potential.

Are you a secure leader? If so... then take time and INVEST and INSPIRE a young leader to achieve things never thought possible.

Blessings,

Are you sure about that?

Painting by LaDonna West

Saul was the bad guy. In the movies, Saul would be the one wearing the black hat and riding the dark horse... er... donkey. The disciples knew about Saul, his reputation and the list of atrocities he had committed against Jesus’ followers. So, when the Lord spoke to Ananias (one of Saul’s targets) and told him to go and help Saul, you can sense the fear and concern in his voice. “Are you sure about that?” Ananias asked. But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name.” (Acts 9:15)

I know there have been times when I acted just like Ananias. “Are you sure about that God?” As if I was bringing something to His attention that He had somehow overlooked or forgotten. But of course He hasn’t. I do not see things the same way that He does. It is not my responsibility to question. Like Ananias, it is my job to obey.

What Ananias didn’t comprehend, was grace. God planned to use Saul’s past to demonstrate His amazing grace. As human’s it is not always easy for us to see that or understand it. Sometimes it seems easier to hold on to anger and judgement rather than extend forgiveness. But God does not do that, ever. If we are truly sorry for the wrong we have committed, God is faithful to forgive. Nothing we do is beyond His grace. 

But, God takes it a step further than forgiveness. Saul did terrible things in opposition to Jesus, but God used Saul’s mistakes to bring others to salvation. From the pit, God chose Saul. Even before he was saved, God picked Saul and gave him the words and the ability to bring people to Jesus. God will forgive us and then use our mistakes for His glory.

There is nothing you have done that He cannot use. You may be wondering how. The how is not up to us. We are only responsible for the what. So what do we need to do?

Confess our mistakes and ask for forgiveness.

Receive and believe in His forgiveness.

Obey His next steps.

Trust that He will be with you through it all. He did not bring you this far to leave you now.

Thank you God for teaching me about Your character. It is comforting to know that the mistakes I make are not final. Thank you for turning my sins into something beautiful that brings You glory. In Jesus name, Amen.

PUZZLED, NOT UNBELIEVING

JUNE 27th DAILY READING

A time of wondering, wrestling and balancing of life’s circumstances on this fallen planet can leave one PUZZLED.

Do you find it hard to maintain perspective when what you hold dear is lost?

Can you see the outcome "only" from your departmental perspective?


Can you really live without having ALL the answers?


This morning I was reading about JOB. If you click on the date above it will bring you to all the scriptures. I HIGHLY recommend you read those today if you are puzzled with your life or circumstances today.

Job was a wonderful man that lost nearly everything he holds dear. What makes the story so troubling is WHY did a wonderful, devoted to God, well thought of guy loose it all?

Through no fault of his own he must DEAL WITH the tragedy in its deepest forms. Yet, how he deals with it provides a beautiful reminder this Monday morning.

In this life we will experience LOSS

LOSS of a loved one

LOSS of a marriage

LOSS of a job

LOSS of health

LOSS of children

LOSS of home

Tragedy is when life does not go as planned, leaving one at a LOSS.

Job maintains PERSPECTIVE during tragedy.
He knows that unless he consciously remains subject to God's authority, he will react BITTER and hopeless.

JOB MAINTAINS A BIG PICTURE PERSPECTIVE


Job does ask God questions during this time of wondering, yet even in his complaints and puzzling times, he never abandons his commitment to God or his CORE VALUES.

Job continues to TRUST in the PROCESS.  Job never pretended to have all the answers and he showed us how to live with OUT having all the answers.

When all HELL broke loose for job and he lost all HOPE, he maintained PERSPECTIVE.

THIS IS HOW:

1. WORSHIP Job worshipped and soul searched Gods sovereignty in his life.

2. PERSPECTIVE Worship enabled Job to capture God's perspective and power.

3. HUMILITY  Perspective allowed Job to see his limited knowledge in his circumstances.

4. TEACHABILITY  Humility caused Job to hunger and seek God's insight.

5. VICTORY  Teachability led Job to gain VICTORY over his losses.

When life leaves you puzzled it's ok to wonder and question; it's doubt that God hates.
 Look at Job chapter 3 and you will see all the questioning Job spoke during the pain.

No matter how dark your circumstances may grow, we must RESIST the temptation to DOUBT GOD'S holy nature.

I want to share a workbook with those going through a puzzling time. If you get this workbook and allow God to teach you, I promise you will experience the awesome majesty of God! It is so important to STUDY to GAIN the perspective that job had.

Purchase this study today and let me know if you did!

This study will bring the presence of God in the midst of your situations and fill your mind with the BIG PICTURE
PERSPECTIVE that you need!

FOR THERE IS HOPE MY FRIEND!

                                 Puzzled, not unbelieving

STAY COMMITTED

JUNE 23 DAILY READING

C O M M I T M E N T moves past the mind and emotions and goes stright to the will.

Life gets challenging for me and I have a hard time staying committed,  if you feel the same then I promise you will be given great tools today to stay focused!

In today's reading in the book of Acts we see STEPHENS commitment in his words and attitudes.
Stephen had the presence of God in his life, based his commitment on biblical foundation, he saw error in past thinking, spotted resistance, kept his eye on Jesus, the truth and maintained perspective!


I want to be more like Stephen because he was determined to experience the WILL of God for his life and displays an unwavering commitment no matter what!

The "WILL" of  man is like a cart pulled by two horses. Their names are MIND and EMOTIONS. You must get both horses moving in the same direction to move the cart forward. COMMITMENT results when your mind and emotions move forward, whatever the cost!

I have been examining my commitment in certain areas the past few weeks. Let me share a few

Examining my commitment to running and exercise goals
Examining my commitment to marriage and my spouse no matter what!
Examining my commitment to ministry dreams
Examining my commitment to Godly parenting
Examining my commitment to a Godly lifestyle

 I truly desire to understand and stay on the path of Gods plans for my life...
 But often my mind and emotions can begin to go in many other directions.

Am I the only one?


I have  several friends come to ask me all kinds of questions like...

What is Gods plans for me? How do I even get moving forward in the plans?

 I wonder who God has for me as a mate and when I will find him?

What will I be when I get older?

 What is going to happen with our finances?

My husband was just diagnosed with cancer what will the outcome be?

I hope to find the perfect job? 

Our marriage is struggling and not sure that I can continue on

I lost my job

 C O M M I T M E N T   IS THE ANSWER
I believe our answers will come together when we focus on the mind and emotions, our two horses!
 We have to train these horses my  friends!
 Now as we all know horses are very strong animals,  yet very trainable.
 So in the same way is our minds.
 1 peter 1:13 it tells us to gird up our minds. We have to discipline our minds by taking all loosely flowing thoughts, speculations and opinions and train them to be in the same MIND which was in Christ Jesus.




Many times a HORSE must be harnessed with bit and bridle controlling the horse to move forward. It is used to put pressure points on specific areas of the horse so the direction of the horse can be controlled. The horse then moves in a forward direction as the rider pulls on the reigns!


I am so in need of the bit and bridle to train my mind!
One pressure point is in the mouth and it  helps the horse to stay moving with control in a forward motion. The word of God to me is a huge pressure point to keep me moving forward.
I feel the reigns tugging at my heart and adjusting me accordingly, so I stay moving forward with HIS thoughts and plans. The bridle on my head, another pressure point helps me stay focused.
I am often lead in different directions from family, friends, old habits, attitudes, emotions and more.
Just as a horse can get SPOOKED so can we!

Things come in our pathway daily that make us question life sometimes, we can have that fight and flight mentality too! BUT  WITH GOD  pulling on our reigns we regain control!
 We need to trust the rider of our life.
A horse learns to gain trust in their rider . Just as we need to  gain trust in the plans God has for us. Many just need to understand that God really has a great plan no matter how messed up life may be.


Stay COMMITTED and trust your rider! If we cannot begin to trust and grow in a relationship with Jesus our rider and owner, we will never move forward into the DREAMS God has for our lives!


Do you desire to move forward into Gods great purposes?

The questions on the pathway of life that we don't understand will  SPOOK us but remember to train your minds to trust the owner!

Ephesians 4:23 "be renewed in the spirit of your mind and that you put on the NEW man which was created according to God."

Let me share 6 principles for developing commitment

1. Commitment starts in the heart  
    Look deep inside and examine where your heart is committed

2. Commitment is TESTED by action
    Talk is cheap and action is expensive

3. Commitment opens the door for accomplishment
    Once you commit yourself, all kinds of resources and help will come your way to help you succeed!

4. Commitment can be measured
    Look over the day a see how you stayed committed

5. Commitment enables you to make decisions and SET BOUNDARIES
    Gods word will help with decisions and boundaries.

6. Commitment flourishes with public accountability
    Go public with your commitments, then you will have incentive to follow through.
Blessings

STEP OUT ON THE LINE

JUNE 21 READING

In the right MOMENT, incredible things can happen!

Winston Churchill described it like this. "There comes a special moment in every one's life, a moment for which that person was born. That special opportunity, when he seizes it, will fulfill his mission---a mission for which he finds greatness. It is his finest hour."

The right action at the right time will bring success!

What is keeping you from moving forward?

 In today's reading we learn that Esther had to seize her moment or else.....

1. HER/YOUR FATE WILL BE LIKE THE REST OF THE 
  CROWD
    Sometimes in life we have to rise above the normal and take RISKS, If you do not take RISKS, you will not ever rise to the occasion.

2.GOD WILL REPLACE YOU WITH SOMEONE ELSE
    This motivates me! God will accomplish His purposes even if I sit on the sidelines. It's not necessarily the giftedness of the person that gets Gods attention. I believe it's the willingness to MOVE WHEN and WHERE HE INDICATES!

3. YOU COULD LOSE MORE THAN AN OPPORTUNITY
    If you sit back and do nothing, you could lose the CHANCE for the right thing! Sometimes doing the right thing at the right time can be risky! Seize that moment.

4. YOU COULD MISS OUT ON YOUR MISSION IN LIFE
    If you fail to act on what seems risky, yet right you may miss out on God's purpose for your life. You will never accomplish your mission by remaining idle or in your comfort zone.

What Paralyses you? 
FEAR? 
IMAGE?
PAST?

Regardless, you will succeed in your calling and purpose only by making one timely decision after another. They will bring you to your moment!

The last year has been filled with NEW OPPORTUNITIES for me. When God moved our family it was a huge risk alone. However, God's mission for my life will and does involve RISKS and CHANGE.
This year I have found riped opportunities that have actually been  NEW, FRESH windows of better opportunity.

It has taken COURAGE to RISK, REACH and put myself out on the line to seize the opportunity. My heart so desires the bigger and better dreams.  I have confidence in the future God has for me. However, I know it will not show up in a package at my front door. I need to seize the moments and find those ripe opportunities that create risk but place me in my defined destiny!

I can name a few big opportunities on my calendar for the summer/fall

1.Book proposals and meetings with publishers for a study/workbook called "Run Like You Mean It."
2.A  huge Pastors and ministry leadership/networking conference in August.
3. The opportunity to speak and teach on the book of Nehemiah this fall. (precept upon precept) for the women's bible studies at Northridge! So Excited, humbled and honored!

I will seize these opportunities trusting God!

What opportunities or new risks are you taking?

Step out on the line this week and seize an opportunity.

DREAM BIG and DO NOT GIVE UP!

Blessings,

SUN STAND STILL VISION

Happy Monday friends!

Thank you so much for the several emails this past week in regards to last weeks BLOG POSTS on the study of NEHEMIAH and God sized VISIONS.

If you are visiting for the first time today, I encourage you to read a few of last weeks blogs.

CLICK HERE and this will take you to the first blog from last weeks series!

I wanted to share a book with you  today and a short video that will continue to encourage and move your heart. If my past blogs activated your faith then this is your next step to continue to inspire and ask God for the impossible or even reconnect you with God for the very first time.

YOUR HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS ARE THE BEGINNING OF WHAT GOD CAN DO!

A statement from Steven Furtick...

"A few weeks ago I gave you a sneak peak into Sun Stand Still and the movement that I’m praying it creates. As I said then, this is about much more than a book. This is ultimately about God raising up a generation that will dare to ask God for the impossible and act in audacious faith for His glory." 

Also I challenge you to ponder this question as you read...
Do you have a church that is stirring you and challenging you to rise above the mundane living?


Embrace faith-filled audacity today and learn from Steven that the God who accomplished the impossible through the great hero's of faith in the bible desires to do the same through us today!


Enjoy this  short video!


SUN STAND STILL VIDEO


Incredible moves of God  are depicted in the book. But more than just recounting events in other people’s lives, this book will challenge you to witness the sun stand still in your own life. I believe our story hints at a God-sized transformation that is available to every follower of Christ

  I encourage you today to get this book for you pool side summer reading!

 "The words on the pages will not go down like ambien," says Steven.
" I intend to incite a riot in your mind, trip your breakers and turn out the lights in your favorite hiding places of insecurity and fear. Then flip the switch back on so that God's truth can illuminate the Divine destiny that may have been lying dormant inside you for years."


WOW...Just saying!
He will reconnect you with your God sized purpose and potential.


Blessings,

TRIFLING HARDSHIPS

JUNE 17 DAILY READING

Today's verse that spoke directly to the hardships of yesterday! WOW God is so Good!
“But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God. “Now therefore, our God, the great God, mighty and awesome, who keeps his covenant of love, do not let all this hardship seem trifling in your eyes—the hardship that has come on us, on our kings and leaders, on our priests and prophets, on our ancestors and all your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until today. In all that has happened to us, you have remained righteous; you have acted faithfully, while we acted wickedly.” (Nehemiah 9:31-33 NIV)


Yesterday evening I had to go for a little ride in my car to clear my mind. Usually I go running but I already had a good run in that day and had no energy left to move.
 I was tired, stressed and overwhelmed by a few circumstances.
We all have hardships and not a person is going to live this life without experiencing a few trifling situations.

I have been tested more then ever lately because my dreams for God have become bigger. I believe God is allowing Mr. Satan to mess with with me to test my faith and firm foundation.

In times of hardship I get away from the circumstance. I need to take my mind to a place that I can regroup. As I drove in my car I asked God to...   
 "Help me to experience you in the expected and the unexpected. Help me to let go of control allowing your space to live in and through me. I love you and thank you that you are so near to me. You are a gentlemen waiting on me so that you can show me your love. I desire for you to have space in my heart, soul, and mind so that you can be revealed to others through my actions. I thank you for the gift of this day, and praise you for your working in my life. You are an awesome and almighty God. There is no God like you."


This was not easy friends, but mandatory. I began to weep differently as I turned my focus away from the hardship and began to PRAISE GOD for everything!
 I have so much to be thankful and it was funny to watch my specific tears revolving around the negative began to change directions.     I had tears of thankfulness.

This was so odd...
Only God can change the direction of our tear falling feelings!

Today I was reminded again as I opened the Word of God to not allow hardships to be trifling to the eye but remember how Great and awesome God is! Click above and view how Nehemiah rose  above his trifling hardships...

Nehemiah was a big dreamer but did not forget that his GOD was bigger then the problem.

Rise above today friends,

ok I know my curious friends will wonder what was the trifling hardship?
Well here it goes... MONEY!
We do very well however their are always many needs that I have and my husband may not view them the same. He is the leveler in the family. Without him we would be seriously broke! But sometimes he stresses alot about money and He does not have t

This week alone we have 2 birthdays, fathers day, weddings,  parties and more! let me tell you....It was a little stressful!

When Stress, money and marriage mix it can be trifling!

This morning before my husband left for work he reminded me how much he loved me, he embraced me tightly. This was a kiss from God my friends.

 Life is hard but don't miss the places in which God embraces!

OPPOSITION TO THE V I S I O N

JUNE 16 DAILY BIBLE READING

Several, years ago I was sitting in the balcony at my previous church home waiting for my pastor to bring the Sunday message. Pastor Jim was a tool in which God used to help  me learn how to DREAM.

As I trace the story backwards I remember a very significant moment in which the course of my future was about to change!

One simple message on an ordinary Sunday made my life forever extraordinary.

The message of course came from the book of NEHEMIAH. If you click on the above reading it will bring you to the reading for today. I highly encourage you to read yesterdays post,  click here to read  as it will heart beat with today's devo.

In this message I was taught to model  Nehemiah. He was a man that could not imagine sitting still in the midst of pain. When he heard the wall of Jerusalem lay in shambles, he created a vision of what could and should be. 

HE HAD TO ACT

HE HAD TO DREAM

Let me share some tips from this Sunday message to develop the dreamer in you!

D ETERMINE you must be determined to want some

thing better that you cannot control. This becomes your vision. You determine the problem, the solution, the reason something must be done and the reason something must be done NOW!

Remember: For it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His GOOD pleasures. Philippians 2:13

R EALIGN  you must have a plan so you can play out your part while you wait for the vision to unfold. Goals and plans keep us focused and determined. We then can daily realign with the optimism in the midst of realism.

(a starting plan is prepared for you at the bottom of today's post)

Rely on God, Respect the opposition, Reinforce the weak points, Reassure the people, Refuse to quit, Renew strength continually

E STABLISH your position in the midst of your  circumstances, then prepare to accomplish the vision. God is using your circumstance to establish and prepare you for something bigger.

Difficult, Painful and Frustrating times are not wasted times!

REGAIN PERSPECTIVE IN THE MIDST OF AN ENVIRONMENT THE IS HOSTILE TO YOUR DREAMS!

A CCOUNTABILITY you must have accountability with others that are like minded to the goals. They will inspire your dream.

Do you belong to a team of like minded supporters?

I love my bible study group and small groups....simply amazing and inspiring!

MULTIPLY  you are a model that will multiply the work of God in your life. God has created every single person to be a dream catcher. Allow others to learn to dream through you.

PEOPLE ARE WATCHING YOU

Establishing a VISION is very important.

Today we see that Nehemiah's vision is what helped him stay focused when destractors tormented and did everything possible to interfere with the future.

Nehemiah's character countered every assault and he stood strong on the Godly vision.

In life we will have destractors but God will help you in the midst of the unfolding vision. God wants to provide you with a new strategy for victory. The secret is to outlast your critics and stay committed to the DREAM.

Start with these few questions and watch what God will do.

It is not the experience and knowledge of God that will help you, it starts with the PASSION and DESIRE to know God and the dreams he has for you! God will then fill you with all the knowledge.

* State the existing problem

*What is your proposed solution

*Image with your mind a clear picture of what could and should be

*write down a list of adjectives that describe what could and should be

*Now begin forming sentences that describe your preferred future.

 To speak your own imagination , you may want to start with the phrase, I IMAGINE...

I Imagine a family that...

I imagine a company that...

I imagine a marriage in which...

I imagine a church where...

I imagine my child...

I imagine my finances...

  

I suggest also you get the book called VISIONEERING by Andy Stanley. It will be life altering!

Start ESTABLISHING your DREAM today!

Let me know if you are going to run with the above thoughts and write then down. I would love to hear your thoughts on Visions and Dreams. I want to pray for you!

Leave a comment below or send me a personal email at heather@hbministries.com

 God has a blueprint for developing and maintaining your vision.

I dare you to tap into His plan.

 It will change your life.

It did mine.

Blessings Today
