SO HOW DO YOU UNLOCK YOUR FUTURE??





WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU ACTUALLY STARTED TO DREAM AGAIN.....




So how do you unlock your future?

The Lord whispered something so powerful to me, "So many of my children are trapped in the past.  They are in captivity in their mind - their thinking, trapped in their circumstances because they cannot see beyond their circumstances. It is a strategy of distraction. They cannot move forward if they keep stepping backward."

"One of the greatest tactics of the adversary is to change your focus. He will attempt to take your focus off of me; off of the words of truth and life, off of the counsel, leading, and direction of the Holy Spirit to REDIRECT YOUR FOCUS, YOUR ENERGY, YOUR ATTENTION, AND YOUR EMOTIONS onto your circumstances.  He will consistently remind you of the past and the failures of your past to cut off the path of your future, because you cannot see, move, or receive beyond that which you believe."

Let me just repeat that:  YOU CANNOT SEE BEYOND WHAT YOU BELIEVE. YOU CANNOT MOVE BEYOND WHAT YOU BELIEVE. YOU CANNOT RECEIVE BEYOND WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

Did you know that God does not consult your past to determine your future?  Ruth is considered to be not only one of the greatest women who ever lived in the bible, but one of the greatest proteges of all time.  You know what made Ruth so EXCEPTIONAL??

Ruth refused to build her future around the events of her past. She was willing to pay whatever price to stay in the mentorship and presence of extraordinary people.  She left her Mother and Father and her country of Moab and followed her Mother-in-law Naomi.  She discerned the love and power of God, whom Naomi followed from what she had seen and decreed that Naomi's people and Naomi's God would be her people and her God, leaving to travel with Naomi to a place she had never been nor ever saw.

See, Ruth was willing to go where she had never been, partake an experience that was foreign to her, and DO WHAT SHE HAD NEVER DONE TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING SHE NEVER HAD!!

Can you truly expect to achieve or receive something you've never achieved, had, or received before DOING THE SAME THINGS YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE??

RUTH DISCOVERED A MAJOR TRUTH:

GOD NEVER CONSULTS YOUR PAST TO DECIDE YOUR FUTURE! In fact your future is actually consulting your present to determine the timing and level of manifestation OF YOUR FUTURE!!

Okay, that was deep so let me repeat that one more time....

You are actually creating your future one minute, one hour, one day, month, and year at a time.  The things you focus on and your habits - YOUR DAILY ROUTINE is manifesting your future, literally!!

Brian Tracy, famous motivational speaker said it well when he said, "Change your thinking, Change your life", but I would take that one step further....  CHANGE YOUR HEART TO CHANGE YOUR THINKING, CHANGE YOUR THINKING TO CHANGE YOUR HABITS, AND IF YOU CHANGE YOUR HABITS - YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!

You see the Holy Spirit is your counselor, teacher, and guide. He is not just inside of you if you are in a personal relationship with Jesus.  He is not just with you. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus, the source of maintaining and holding all creation together is INGRAINED IN YOU and YOU ARE INGRAINED IN HIM.  You are so dearly and tenderly beloved that you, YOU are imprinted upon the hands and heart of God. He rejoices over you with singing and He is guiding you along the path, continuously opening your eyes through the spectacles of FAITH to see in progressively greater detail the path to the land He has set aside for the fulfillment of the dreams, destiny, and purposes He has placed within you to release unto the world.... That the world might discover THE LOVE OF JESUS!  The truth of just how real He really is! 

He is holding your hands with His eyes fixated on You and when your eyes are fixated on Him, he is guiding gently step by step.  But what happens when you can no longer see Him, because your eyes have been redirected to see your circumstances??  Why is this so critical?  Because IT IS ONLY BY THE LEADING AND GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT YOU WILL DISCOVER YOUR LAND, YOUR DESTINY, PURPOSE, PROVISION, AND WEALTH. If you have a heart to build the Kingdom of God, do you think those opposed to that vision want you to come into wealth, focus, and clarity?? No.

WARNING! ONLY READ THE FOLLOWING IF READY TO BE SHAKEN!!

You feel the weight of your circumstances and the joy of the Lord dissipates, because your focus has been secretly redirected off of the Lord.  The word of God tells us to not be ignorant of the ways and tactics of the adversary.  So he's a truth that will blow your mind.  The adversary only has the power you, mighty child of God who has been commanded to take dominion and given all power to tread over serpents, scorpions, and over all things under the influence of the adversary - delegate to him.  He has already been defeated and stripped of all power.

Just meditate on that.  You, created in the image and likeness of God - what would happen if you truly believed all that God has said about you?? What would happen if you truly believed you were who God said you were??

And what would really happen if you truly believed that you could have and do all that God said you can have and do??

What would you do, have, see, or experience if you really believed that all things are possible - because they are to HIM WHO BELIEVES.  BELIEVE!! Re-ignite the passion of your dreams. See them coming to pass in the picture screen of your mind. Print out pictures and post them on the mirror, on the refrigerator, on the wall, on your screensaver.  Allow yourself to see them, feel them, and experience them as they were have ALREADY COME TO PASS and PRAISE AND THANK GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART FOR HIS GOODNESS.  Believe!

Until we meet again...
