Do you have a dream waiting to be birthed?

Have you been putting your destiny on the back burner?

Is your business or ministry becoming stagnant?

Is the fear of lack holding you back?

If so, you are not alone.  Every day, everywhere dreams are dying, destinies are destroyed and businesses and ministries are declining simply because of financial needs.  Everything seems to cost something.  There are generally two approaches to fixing this problem.  First we whine and complain about not having the money we need to accomplish the task.  Or we do what we Christians do best and pray and wait for God to send the money flowing down from Heaven like manna.  I have tried both of these approaches and let me tell you this – the whining has never worked and although God is a miracle working God who has moved mightily on my behalf many times, when it comes to living out our destinies, He wants us to be actively involved with Him.

Recently I like so many others,  was experiencing the “deer in the headlights” approach to my destiny.  My book “Defeating Fear” was finished, but we had just gone through a painful foreclosure and lost all of our retirement.  For the first time in my life, I had no where to turn for funds.  It was a humbling place to be.  Here I had this book God had led me to write and yet, I had no way to share it with the world.  But one day an encouraging call from a friend changed everything.  The words she spoke freed me from the box I had escaped to and I began to think outside of that comforting box.  Within 30 days my book was in print!!  Was it a miracle?  Yes, it was.  As I look back on the details, I know what happened was impossible for mere man, but I don’t serve mere man.  God moved mightily, but I needed to move with Him.  I won’t kid you, it was an exhausting month, but boy was it worth it.  The funny thing is, nothing changed in my financial situation.  The only thing that changed was me and my thinking.  Everything I needed was right in front of me and deep within me all along.  God works that way you know.  When He assigns destinies, He supplies all you need to accomplish them.

So, if the fear of lack is holding you back take the time to stop, pray and ask God to open your eyes to the things, people, resources and talents around you and within you.  Write down everything He shows you whether it makes sense to you or not.  And see if you do not start finding a way where there seems to be no way!

Stop allowing the fear of lack to hold you back!  Get out of the box and step into the Promised Land.  Do it now! Your destiny is waiting.

“What if some did not have faith?  Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?

Not at all! Let God be true , and every man a liar.”
