IN PLACE

When everything is in place things happen.  Have you ever played a game, put a puzzle together, planned a gathering, cleaned your house or office?

When everything is in place things happen! You win the game, the puzzle is complete, the gathering is a hit and your house or office looks organized!

I am reminding each of you today that the same is true concerning the dreams and desires and prayers in our life.

WHEN EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE……….

How do the things concerning my dreams and desires get into place? How do I walk in my destiny?

The same way you play a game, plan a gathering, etc. Know your goals and submit them to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and then do the things you can do, and know to do, to advance toward what God has placed within you.

Let’s look at an example of a puzzle. If you have 500 or a 1000-piece puzzle you usually begin by finding the outline of the puzzle and then begin to fill in the pieces.

I submit to you today that knowing the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior is the beginning of fulfilling all you were created for. If you will: it is the outline of the puzzle.

As we work on the puzzle we may pick up pieces that we just have no idea where to put them, so instead of staring at the piece and throwing it down or giving up on the puzzle, we lay it down and pick up another piece. Eventually you will use the discarded piece.

As we journey through this thing called life we need to keep going and lay down the things that we cannot figure out and go for the things that we can fit into place. At some point the things you do not understand will fit right in, right in the place they were made for.

We learned at the Fearless “Dream” conference this weekend that we need to get a picture in our minds and spirits of the dream that is in us coming to pass!

I ask you to think about my puzzle example. When we are working a puzzle we usually keep the picture that is on the front of the box before us or a least in our minds. We need to see it in order to assembly the pieces correctly.

May I share with you this morning that just as parents or older siblings will help the younger kids with a puzzle, the Holy Spirit has been sent to guide us as we navigate the puzzle of the reality we have been placed in.

When we relax and allow the power of the Living God, who gave His best for us, to help with every decision and every move we make, we are headed for………..

EVERYTHING BEING IN PLACE!!!

When we acknowledge it is His way that is best and just walk in fellowship with the Father God, the Creator of all things, life will begin to come together, and we will begin to see the picture taking form.

Isaiah 30:21 (KJV)
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Let me tell you that God Loves you so much that when you open your heart just a little, He will begin to speak to you deep down inside, guide and show you the way to go!

The problem comes when we are like a two-year-old who is trying to put an 8 large-piece puzzle together and refuses to listen to the parent who is telling the child where the pieces go.

NO!!! I do it!!! Is many times the response, and that is our response much of the time!

We somehow have the idea that we can navigate this crazy thing called life alone.

How much better when we are in relationship with the giver of life.

If we listen to the creator, and do what we can, we will realize soon that:

EVERYTHING IS FALLING IN PLACE!!

What are you created for? Just move toward it!!!

Father, thank you that your Word is Truth and you want to help and guide us and work in our lives abundantly. May we listen and obey and move forward as we know how and you will do the rest. May each of us allow you to speak deep in our innermost being and life will begin to be what you have planned for us. I ask this in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Amen

Have An incredible week!
