When you make consistent advancements in the way you think, live, and act, the next level will start to recognize you. The next level will not only recognize you, but it will begin speaking to you. Even more, it will make an invitation for you to come and live on it. The next level will start showing you that it has a place for you—it will show you that you are welcome in its world.
When you’re ready to see something different; something better; something higher—you will be able to see it even through the dark. When you are really ready to change, then change will pack its bags and start walking towards you. Change will begin to embrace you and encourage you to live in its world.
You see, when you are NOT ready to live on a certain level, nothing related to that level will even be on your radar. You won’t hear it when it talks of possibilities, nor see it when it makes a presentation of what could be.
When you ARE ready to move to a higher level, the higher level will ready itself for your entry. You will start to hear its voice and recognize its ways. It will show you pictures of yourself somewhere in your future doing something greater than you’re currently doing, or being someone greater than you’re currently being. It will give you a preview of the future movie of your life.
What you embrace “today” is what will show up in your “tomorrow.” Have you embraced that vision (that you have) of a greater you? Are you ready to walk out that picture that you have on the inside of a more focused you; an excuseless you; a consistent you; a creative you; a disciplined you; a responsible you? If you can see a picture of it “inside” of you, you can live it on the “outside.”
If you’re not looking to travel to a higher level, the airfare and plane tickets to the next level will never appear. When you decide that you’re not “staying,” then “going” will start to appear. “Going” will start to present to you your travel gear. “Going” will start to mentor you on what you need to do to get from your present into your destiny—from stagnation into momentum.
It’s not likely that you will “find” something that you haven’t decided to “seek.” You can’t be “sold” when you’re not looking to “buy.” You won’t find “change” if you’re ok with “staying the same.” If you are ready to refuse to stay the same a whole new world will open up to you.
I thank God for the revelation in your article You Won’t Find “Change” If You’re Ok With “Staying The Same”. I realize in reading that a lot of what I was doing was for relief with minimal and short lived results. Change requires a greater cost and commitment. God is truly moving me from stagnation to momentum.
Thanks again Pastor!
