The life you have today is based upon the preparation you made (for it) yesterday. What you prepare for today is what will show up in your tomorrow. When you start preparing, so does your future. If you fail to prepare so does your future.
IF YOU’RE NOT A PREPARER YOU WILL BE A REPAIRER

Are on the cutting edge of things Are cut on the edge of things

4 THINGS TO PREPARE FOR
- You must prepare for a future that requires more of you than your present.
- When you ask God for more be aware that more demands on your life will probably come along with it.
- I prayed for more clients but I didn’t pray for more demands on my life. They came automatically…with the clients.
- That prayer for more (that you’re praying right now) better be accompanied by a prayer for the grace to handle it!
- You must prepare funeral arrangements for everything in your life that needs to be buried.
- Sometimes “more” is not so much about adding on, as it is about taking away.
- Listen to the language of these verses:
- Ephesians 4:22—That you put off concerning your former conduct…
- James 1:21—Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness…
- Colossians 3:8—But now you yourselves are to put off all these…
- It’s time to bury some things. Prepare the funeral arrangements.
- What (in your life) needs to get the ashes-to-ashes, dust-to-dust treatment?
- You must prepare for the things you’re praying for.
- Is the prayer you prayed today waiting for the step you take tomorrow as its answer?
- If you want God to help you open a business you better start working on your discipline, organization, speed, health, management skills, and handling multiple demands.
- The prayer might not be answered until YOU become the answer.
- You must prepare for the things that have already been prepared for you.
- When you become a match (in Spirit) with the things that God has already prepared for you, they’ll be released.
- When you become (in the spirit) the match with what is prepared for you, you will have traveled to the place where the prepared thing is.
- Then you will no longer be trying to prophesy—you will become the prophesy.
- You will no longer be praying for money–money will be asking to be attached to you.
This is great!! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thanks Eileen! I appreciate you taking the time to extend some positive feedback!
Wow. That’s all I can say. Its very true we ask God for bigger things, without asking Him for the grace to handle them when they come with the responsibility attached. This is a lesson for me to pick up from, know that whatever I will ask God for, I should also ask for the grace to be effective in doing that task as well.
