414 Something Is About To Happen

Do you ever feel like you’re 11 months pregnant with a dream? The time for the birth of your dream has way since past and now you’re wondering if this whole time you were just bloated. Like you made this whole thing up. You were never good enough. It was never really going to happen for you. Who am I talking to today? Who is to the point of being OVER IT? What was once exciting to think about is now a swollen disappointment. It didn’t happen when you thought it would, how you thought it would, now you’re left questioning if it will ever happen. Galatians 6:9 says “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” In due season? Due season? That’s just annoying right there. I’m calling it like it is. What is due season anyway? Lord we’re feeling mighty over due here, can you tell us exactly when our due season is? Only God knows when your thing will happen, but we know this for sure, it will never happen if you give up. You have one job here, KEEP DOING GOOD. Your job is not the result. Your job is obedience. Will you be obedient when it’s harder than you imagined? Will you be obedient when everyone else says it’s not going to happen? Will you be obedient when the time has come and gone? Will you be obedient when every feeling in your body tells you it’s over? When you boil it all down, this is what it’s about. All along, this is an opportunity for you to be obedient. And as you’re being obedient you’re becoming more and more like the person God created you to be. And when you’re fully ready to step into your potential, lacking absolutely nothing, it will be your due season. Can I get a celebration for due season? What you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived. You’ve been obedient through the waiting and the setbacks. And now you know what it’s time for …. LABOR PAINS. Oh hold up a hot second. Did no one tell you you were going to be working so hard all this time to do good, fighting the temptation to just give up, struggling to keep going and then when it’s finally your time and God says “okay, you’re ready”, what you’ve been working so hard for isn’t going to just magically appear? It’s going to get harder now. You’re going to feel like you’re dying. Where are my ladies at that have vivid memories of labor pains and childbirth? Who remembers that sheer hopeless feeling of “oh my gosh, the shoulders are never coming out! Somebody get this child out of me now!” After all that waiting, it gets worse before it gets better. Giving birth to a dream and stepping into your destiny is no different my sister. This is hard stuff. And this is exactly why few people ever dare to live the life they really desire. Remember, Psalm 37:4 says “The Lord will give you the desires of your heart.” This doesn’t mean God is a genie in a bottle, however this does mean the true desires of your heart were first given to you by God. Those deep seeded dreams within you of what your life could look like aren’t there by accident. Your creator created your dreams as well. God is the author of your dreams. They are a guide to the life he had in mind when he create you. When will you give birth to those dreams? When will you step into your destiny? When will your life begin looking more like the life you desire? In due season. And after massive labor pains. No one prepares you for the truth of BIG living. This stuff isn’t easy. It doesn’t happen overnight. Most will fail. The majority grow weary and settle. Their dreams are miscarried. Miscarried. They didn’t carry their dream through. How many dreams have you miscarried? You didn’t hold on until your due season.
