Live Your Passion!
So you got the vision and now you’re writing it down, making it plain! The excitement of your new found passion is bubbling up inside you like a volcano ready to erupt. You rush to tell your loved ones and friends, only to have your “Prophetic Vision” shut down.
One by one, your trusted confidants began to speak negative remarks and conclusions of accomplishing such greatness!
Hardly any of the people you chose to share with give you any positive feedback or kudos, nothing more than reactions of ‘Consider this…What about that…How do you expect to…!’
Now your newly discover passion has gone from elated joy to feelings of uncertainty. You second guess yourself and contemplation dominates your thought process. You wonder whether or not this is what you’re actually supposed to be pursuing.
Sound familiar!
So many people have prematurely abandoned many great plans and visions that have been truly given to them by God, through their constant diligence in prayer, mediation and seeking God’s will for their lives.
From the negativity of others who haven’t been given the same vision, who may not relate to the passion of one’s desires, verbally sabotage mandated purposes that God, and, God alone has ordained.
Skeptics, naysayers, for whatever reason find it necessary to discourage and plant seeds of doubt in the minds of others, even those closest to them.
Ministries, Professional Careers, Global and World Changing Advocates, Record Breaking Athletics, Gifted and Talented Artists and many more dreams shattered, all due to negative influences of “Outside Voices,” speaking death into an awaking of destiny, ordered steps, destined for God to get the Glory for the gifts and talents of greatness He’s imputed in His very own creation.
This had been the case for me!
Until one day I decided that I would do what Mary, Jesus’ mother did. I held what was purposed in my heart until I saw the manifestation of my vision come to pass, entirely and completely through my trust and faith in God who purposed me for all things pertaining to Life and Godliness. Ref. (Luke 2:19) (2 Peter 1:3).
Sometimes it is wise to keep a matter to yourself until the day of revealing comes. This way, only God, your spouse (if you’re married) and you will be “In the Know,” no distractions, nay-saying or discouragement to hinder you.
The process of accomplishing your purpose is pressure enough! Stand your ground. If you know, that you know, that you know, God has placed promise, purpose and destiny into your heart, don’t be swayed. Stand firm in the faith!
Recall the visitation from the Angel Gabrielle….Luke 2:15-20 Until next time. Blessing to all and always Stay Encouraged!
