Week 2 Day 9 - March 12
/I want to explore the anomaly of how the Lord seems to work. It seems like when we expect growth, it delays, and then suddenly it arrives. How come the Lord's timing seems so different than ours?!
I'm not going to claim to be an expert at timing, but I do know that the Lord operates in very specific ways. Sometimes, we get to understand them, and sometimes we are in the dark. But I have seen a pattern in scripture that leads happens with business.
Many times when the world was going one way, believers and the those who had the Lord's heart went the opposite (when the world was struggling, believers rose). I believe that this is how it is to be all the time. To maintain the kind of momentum that creates growth in the "off-season" is decidedly a difficult thing, and without the anointing of the Lord, seemingly impossible.
But look at Gideon ... Israel in shambles to another god, then God promotes him suddenly. Look at Esther ... a hidden plot behind the scenes, but God suddenly promotes one of His. Look at Joseph ... a drought on the way, then suddenly a dream interpreted. Look at King David ... 2x it happened. First, he was just a shepherd ...then suddenly anointed for kingship. Then again...he had built a great small business and was managing many "for-hire warriors" and then suddenly they anoint him again, and he is in the palace.
I could go on and on, but the point I am trying to make is that a suddenly will promote you in business faster than you can work yourself there. So we need to posture ourselves to receive a suddenly. These are the kind of encounters that you just fall into that open up huge doors of influence, favor, and sales. They are anointed by God and usually align with a specific timing.
This March of 2015, there have been multiple words about a suddenly coming upon us. I want us today to focus ourselves towards that end.
1. Ask God to reveal any place that you are out of His timing. If He shows you something, finish the task, or get you butt towards the vision you saw! Get in timing.
2. Roots of bitterness can keep us bound to old seasons more than just about anything. Ask Jesus to reveal to you where, if any, you have roots that are literally strangling the life out of you. Then FORGIVE and release and say a prayer of blessing.
3. There is very little that opens up timing more than praying in tongues. So get after it. Use your prayer language and expect Jesus to open us doors and influence and show you where and WHEN you need to be there.

Declare
I declare that I will operate in timing. I will align with where you have me and where you are taking me. I will not let the voices of the past steal my future. I will prepare myself for the suddenly that I know God wants to bring me, and I will eagerly hold on to hope that it will come quickly. I receive my suddenly!
