“For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end (fulfillment); it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait (earnestly) for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.” Habakkuk 2:3 (Amplified Bible)
A unique and creative plan has been laid out by God for you. The plan is for your success and not failure. Within the plan is the vision. It is your ability to see and record what God is going to allow you to achieve in life that will bring glory and honor to Him.
Once there is a clear understanding and visualization of the plan or purpose for your life it must be written. Writing down the vision will bring further clarity and give you something to begin to read so that the desire moves from head knowledge to heart acceptance. Reading your vision out loud both morning and night has a definite purpose.
When the vision or desire is read in the morning it places it on your conscious mind. You will become motivated to begin to take steps to move toward the manifestation of your vision. As you start walking toward the fulfillment of your vision, God by His Spirit will get involved with your vision to make sure that it becomes a reality. Ideas, new insight, plans that you had not thought about will begin to come into your mind. You may even receive names of individuals to call or places to go. In other words, God gets directly involved in your vision to make sure that it comes to pass.
You must understand that your Heavenly Father loves you and desires to see you live a victorious life. He gets no pleasure out of seeing you fail. Your ultimate success in life will come from God. He will go to any extent to make sure that you fulfill the plan that He has for your life.
When the life of a believer is aligned with the word of God, expect great things to happen. God is a promise keeper. He will fulfill every one of His promises that is spoken in faith and acted upon. There is power in the spoken word. Before the manifestation can come, it must be spoken out of your mouth. This is why reading the vision is so important. Words have the power to create and bring into manifestation that which you desire to achieve in life. Remember, God called (spoke) things that be not as though they were. In other words He spoke as if it already existed before there was a physical manifestation.
Reading the vision at night before retiring places those positive thoughts on your subconscious mind. The mind of man never sleeps. Your thoughts are being rooted in your heart both day and night. If you want positive things to happen in your life, it must be placed in your mind. The visual image for your goal is written on the screen of your mind. When the mind receives it as truth, then and only then will you begin to take positive steps toward the fulfillment of your goals.
There is so much failure or lack of success in the world because of a lack of understanding of how success is created, developed and manifested. We were taught that you must know the right people, wear the right clothes, be in the right place at the right time and go to the right schools to be recognized as one who succeeds. There are many who did all those things that the world said must happen and are still living far beneath their privileges. I am not saying that these steps are not important because they are. You must know that God will order your steps. He will put you before the right people to fulfill His plan for your life. He will provide you with the necessary clothes needed for His plan for your life. He will open the doors necessary for success and close the doors that will be a hindrance to achieving His purpose for your life.
The exciting thing about living by the plan and purpose that God has for your life is there is no failure with God. He has promised that regardless of how long the manifestation may take, wait for it.
The time between the steps taken and the final fulfillment is often where the vision is aborted. When the desired results are not seen immediately, most people will begin to speak contrary to what had been decreed. Doubt, fear, and unbelief creeps in and begins create an image of failure in the mind in order to prevent the success that is rightfully yours from manifesting. Unless you are firmly anchored in the word and know in your heart that every promise from God is “yes and so be it”, you may be guilty of speaking the demise of your vision.
Your words have power. Make sure that you only think and speak what you want manifested through your life. No matter how long the vision takes to become a reality, wait for it. Stay focused. Remove any form of negativity from your mind and mouth. The vision is often lost in the mind and then confirmed out of the mouth.
Whatever you desire to see manifested this year, stand firm on your dreams. Believe that they will come to pass. Do not waste time analyzing every little detail. Spend time in the presence of God seeking His wisdom, knowledge and direction for your life. He has the master plan for you and would gladly give it to you if you would only ask with faith in your heart.
When you have done all that you need to do and nothing appears to be happening, stand still in your heart, wait patiently with great expectations that the vision will come to pass. Get excited and stay excited. Confirm and reaffirm your final outcome each day. Regardless of the waiting period, know without any doubt or hesitation that what you desired in your heart, spoke out of your mouth and took positive action toward will surely come.
