Your desired future must first move into you before you can move into it. If your desired future seems distant, and impossible to attain, it could be because it remains in the future. Why don’t you reach, with your faith, as far into the future as possible and take any part of that desired future and bring it back to dwell in your heart. Gather it piece by piece until the future you desire is fully formed within the confines of your recreated spirit. Now you have the future in a creation center.
Your faith now works night and day to manifest the beautiful desired future of your dreams. As long as the future remains a distant dream, it hardly governs any present decision-making. The enemy will delight in keeping you, and your future as far apart as possible. He knows when the future you desire gets imbedded in your spirit everything changes. It changes because now the future is being created by your faith in the most fertile area of life; your recreated spirit. It’s time to declare, MY FUTURE IS NOW!
It’s easy to put off decision making until another day, or a more favorable time; especially when it comes to what might be expected in your future. Hopes and dreams don’t have to be destroyed by adverse circumstances and events. God has an opinion about this decision concerning your future.
“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” Romans 15:13. Notice the first word of this verse, “NOW.” That powerful word provides the best time to make a choice about your desired future. God doesn’t take account of circumstances, or the pressures being faced; He simply says that, “NOW” is the best time to be filled with “all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope.”
Delay is an enemy to your desired future. In the midst of a great struggle, make the choice to renew broken dreams. This powerful decision will provide a burst of energy, which will catapult you out of the “tight place,” and into a “glorious future.” God continues saying, “The future is NOW!”
