LaWanda – O Jesus, the day is almost gone and once again, I have let other things distract me. Will I never learn, Lord? Help me, Lord Jesus, to from the moment I wake up to put you FIRST, with everything else coming AFTER my time with you. I cannot continue to sleep until 7 or 8 and expect to get everything done. I need your help, Lord. Help me to go to bed early enough for me to get up @ 5 or 6. O lord, I feel you are calling me to more of you, for me to invest more of me into you. And I must get to bed by 10 to do it, Lord. Help me please.
Help me, Lord, to formulate the visions for my life – the visions YOU have for me. As an author, as a teacher and as a speaker, Lord. What do you want these to look like? What vision do you have for me as a healing minister? O Holy Spirit, you are welcome here. Will you pour into me exactly how you want me to see each one, Lord? I want your vision and not mine, Lord.
The devil just told me that my experience with grief is so different from the norm that most women won’t be able to relate to a book about what you did in me during this time, and even now what you are STILL doing in me. I know that this is a lie because people have already been blessed by some of the stories. Help me not to listen to his voice, even though it is convincing, Lord. I know he is appealing to my flesh and not my spirit so I am trying not to listen to him.
I know what I need to do now after hearing that message from Tobi Arayoni. And then even as I am writing this, you send me to Habakkuk 2:2-3 in the New Living Translation. I know that passage well from the 4 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice but reading it in the New Living made it come alive for me in a new way. I must write out the vision for each area of my life. As the word says, it is for a future time, describing the completion and fulfillment of it. In your timing it cannot be delayed. O thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.
Jesus – LaWanda, my dear one, have I not said that at the very moment you call out to me, I have answered you? You may not see the answer until later but I have ALREADY answered – AT THAT VERY MOMENT! It can be no other way. In Kairos time – my time – there is no past, no future, only the present. So, of course, I have already answered and, therefore, the answer CANNOT be delayed. It is always already there. Use the gift of faith that I have given you to set this TRUTH deep within you. Remember…always… already…answered.
You are always amazed at how I orchestrate the details of your life…and so you should be! You just “happened” to go to Joan Hunter’s and hear Tobi Arayoni speak on discipline and how you cannot have it without a vision to call it forth. Discipline without vision will be in the flesh and will usually fail. This is a truth that works both in the natural realm as well as in the supernatural. This is why non-believers can be successful. They have a vision of what they want and that vision creates the discipline to accomplish it. The vision comes first – not the discipline. And so it must be with you. Create a vision for each aspect of your ministry and your life – books, speaking at conferences, teaching classes, being a healing minister. Also include your health, your finances and your physical well-being. Once you have done this, keep them before you constantly. These visions will need a lot of attention.
Dear one, I have given you the keys to the Kingdom but they will be useless to you if you do not have the vision to use them - if you do not have a vision that will call forth what I want to create through you. These visions that you write will give you all you need to move to another level in EVERY area in which you use them. This is GOLD, LaWanda! And there may even be a book or a class within this very download that I have just given you. LOL
KNOW THIS, dear one, do not confuse vision with goal setting. Goals are mental. Vision is from the heart. Vision is alive and if you entwine it with discipline, you are much more likely to see it happen, for your vision will automatically create the discipline required to bring it to pass. Setting goals without the vision is why they are seldom reached. The vision MUST come first.
So rest in this, dear one. Ponder all of it and begin to implement discipline one vision at a time. Start NOW! The process of creating these visions will be as valuable to you as the end results! Remember…Always…Already…Answered! Always!
