Unwavering Faith

Our daily challenge is to synchronize our faith with God’s schedule.  Destiny is not a drive thru, where you can order _____________ and expect to receive it five minutes later. I have learned that everything God will reveal in your life will be done in stages. In the bible, our ability to exercise our faith is illustrated by sowing seeds and reaping a harvest in due time.

Before you sow a seed, you need to plow the ground first to make sure that the soil is ready for the scattering stage. With time as you continue to take care of the seed, the sprouting stage will take place and you will be ready to harvest the grain. I know what you must be thinking, “Ok Dani, enough with all this agricultural talk. How can I apply this principle to my own life”?

The real question is: How do you relate with impatience when God’s schedule is not synchronized with yours?

I Can.

Faith is not a feeling; it is a decision. Until you face it (it can be limited thinking, discouragement, pride, resentment, bitterness, anger, disappointment …. Etc.), faith can’t fix it. Don’t judge the tree by the size of the seed; attach the seed of your dream to the seed of your faith. If it is His vision, He will give you the provision!

I am Able.

The voices you believe will determine the future you experience. Let your life’s navigation system be led by the spirit and not by your senses. You walk by faith and not by sight. God will warn you but He will never create worry within you. Don’t be focus on your storm; focus on the future God has promised you. Your faith is powered by your focus.

I am Faithful.

What God put in your heart, He wants to make known through your life. The key to the future you hope for is found in being faithful with the measure God has given you. Don’t beat yourself up over what might have happened or what might have been; this can cause you to miss out on what God wants to teach you in the present.

I am ________.

Have you ever had someone discourage you from doing something that you are passionate about? I know, I have! People have no idea how just one word can plant a seed of insecurity in one’s heart. Just because you may not be where you want to be, does not disqualify you from attaining or mastering that gift and that calling that is on the inside of you.

No one knows you better than God! Stop trying to prove something that He has already spoken.

More than a Conqueror

Often it is easier to reduce our theology to the level of our reality than to bring our reality to the level of our theology. What is there to worry if God has already given you the victory. You may be in the fourth quarter getting ready for overtime but, you can rest assured knowing that you’ve already won. Your life is not contingent upon anyone or anything that is no longer with you or that has left you. God will not let anyone who left you, limit you to where He is taking you.

It’s a Lifestyle.

Sometimes we feel like we need all this elaborate training, knowledge, or even background when, faith is meant to be more than a formality. Faith is patience with mystery and, the opposite of that is certainty. You usually don’t stretch yourself to a territory that enables the faith that you need for the challenge you are going to face because, it is uncomfortable.  Since we have such a situational view of God, most of our lives are spent trying to fix that situation.

Unshakeable

Patience is not a feeling; it is a daily decision. When you have the ability to endure resistance and/or you stay in the fire, you are exhibiting patience. This is definitely easier said than done and in order to confidently walk in patience, you need to prepare.

Purposeful Alignment

Your purpose and persistence determines how high you can go. Stop wasting potential on areas that are not a part of your purpose. It is time to refuse complacency as you wait around for God to fix your mindset. It won’t come down until you send it up. You never know until you let go, Release and watch it rain!

The Best is Yet to Come.

In this new season, what are you expecting for? What are your dreams and passions?

Our perspective is limited by what we see on earth, which keeps us from recognizing the invisible and unlimited resources of our father in heaven. Be expectant for what is to come! The best stories are still untold and, the best lines are still unwritten.
