What if I told you the 3 reasons for delays in your life are choices you have total control over. I am going to share with you "God's Revelations" I received from the Lord about what causes delays.
These revelations can cause a REVERSE in Delays for you. In other words, you're about to experience one of the biggest paradigm shifts in your life.
Reason #1 - What you pursue, will go in the same direction
God asked me if I've ever seen a deer hunter CHASE after a deer. My answer was No because the deer would run away from the hunter. You may be wondering what this has to do with your delays.
If you have been in a Delay Pattern for weeks, months or even years, ask yourself, "Have I been chasing what God desires for me to experience?"
For example, if you want something or need something, is it possible you don't believe you've already received it? God promises in Philippians 4:19,"But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Does God want you to doubt Him or trust Him at His Word? He is Faithful and Trustworthy. He says what He does and does what He says.
God has promised you that He has ALREADY given you all things that pertain to life and godliness. (2 Peter 1:3) Why not believe God at His Word?
Now you're going to find out what you can do instead of wanting, needing or "have to have" anything.
Reason #2 - What you magnify will manifest
Have you ever heard someone complain about their problems year after year? Their focus is on their problems instead of God's Promises.
The more you magnify anything, it continues to manifest. What you feed will grow. Instead of magnifying the delays, what you can do instead is to be content and thankful for what you already have.
God showed me that contentment, thankfulness, appreciation and gratitude are all attractive. But NOT being content, thankful, appreciative nor grateful REPELS what God desires for you.
Complaining about the delay can stop what you desire to happen in your life. Complaining and griping about your situation is also repulsive. So be intentional from now on being content at all times.
1 Timothy 6:6 reveals to you a KEY to your breakthrough, "Now godliness with contentment is great gain." Just like complaining is a choice so is being content, true?
Reason #3 - Doing it your way instead of God way
The three words I've heard from the Lord this year more than any other words are...
"FOLLOW MY LEAD."
Sounds like God doesn't it? If you truly want to follow His lead, then take Jesus' advice in Mark 8:34, "If anyone wants to follow after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me."
We can say we want to follow Him, but are we willing to deny ourselves?
The Lord showed me the more we obey Him, the less our will is going to come to pass. He also asked me to take the first three letters and the last three letters off of the word OBEDIENCE. What do you see?
DIE.
The more we obey God, the more we die to self. Either more of God's will is coming to pass in your life or your will. Its your choice.
Now that you know the 3 reasons for delays in your life and your new responses to them, you'll be more expectant than ever before to see God's promises come to pass in your life.
So trust God instead of pursuing what He has promised you. Be intentional being content, thankful, appreciative and grateful instead of magnifying your delays.
Finally, commit to following God's lead instead of doing it your way from now on.
What's your BIGGEST TAKEAWAY?
