I have learned over the years that no matter how true a vision from God may be, it will never be fulfilled in the manner in which I have imagined.  All my expectations are incomplete. In fact, my very ideas often become the most subtle obstacles standing between me and my appointed future in God.  Thus, I must keep my mind open and submitted to God, for when God fulfills His Word, it is always “exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Eph. 3:20, KJV).

God has amazing plans for us.  We have a dream that involves many ministries - and ultimately to see revival come to the Central Valley!   It is a huge vision.  However there is no testimony without a test!  Each building in our project stands on the threshold of moving forward.   We have it all lined up but it just doesn’t move the final step to the signing of the documents and the release of the loans for the construction to take place.  We need to break through a spiritual wall the enemy has placed as an obstacle to the fulfillment of the vision God has given to us.  The greater the wall the greater the breakthrough!

He loves us just the way we are and He uses us just the way we are.  As we trust in Him He will bring the breakthrough we need. 

God will not cease in bringing His glory upon the earth regardless of our willingness to become a part of His plan.   Mordecaii tells Esther if you don’t do it than God will raise up someone else – but who knows if this is why you are here now.  Esther responds and God brings deliverance!

God is looking for those who are broken and humble enough to align their lives with Him. When God wants His will accomplished, He finds those who have come to the end of themselves and whose confidence is not in themselves, but only in their God.  Those who will say, “Here am I, use me!”

It is time to ask God’s people to take the initiative in seeking the Lord like never before.  We need prayer – we need a breakthrough!

And as we seek Him, we listen, and learning from Him, we become empowered to bring His transformational Spirit into this environment so that we become part of the needed breakthrough.  We rejoice in all He will do through our lives. God’s “Hearers” can truly change the world.  Listen to what God tells you to do and then step out in obedience to His voice.  

Be ready, He is speaking. Listen, He has a more excellent way for all of us, and His Kingdom will surely come, and will be done, through our lives, and to the glory of God.  2012 is the “Year of Opportunity”.
