No Excuses

“I wanna live a healthy life, but everyone in my family has high blood pressure and diabetes.” “I wanna lost weight, but haven’t you seen my momma? “I wanna stop drinking, but I can’t turn down free drinks.” “I wanna go back to school, but I just don’t have the time.” Okay, maybe you have never said these things out loud, but have you thought about it? Maybe you thought… “I want to forgive them, but you don’t understand what they did to me”. Or “I wanna get closer to God…. but then I’ll have to give up my lifestyle.”

All of these common statements can be defined in one word, EXCUSES. Let me tell you what I think about excuses; it’s a reason to repeat the same behavior. Stop using them! What is your vision and why aren’t you walking in it? Don’t blame anyone, but yourself. God has equipped us with all the resources and skills we need to manifest our vision. What you’re probably missing is the wisdom and knowledge of God, to move you into your vision.

Proverbs 29:18 (Amplified Bible)
18Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]--blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he.

Is your vision really yours? Or did you see your neighbor do it, and you jumped on the bandwagon? If you’re not sure, think about how easy everything is flowing for that other person, as far as their VISION is concern and consider if it's moving the same way for you?

Think about how you're spending your time, you can’t get time back, so use it wisely. Who's dream are you chasing? Just because you like something, that someone else is doing doesn’t mean it’s meant for you. Instead, support the other person, encourage them and ask God to show you, what your skills and natural talents are. (A true sign of growth is helping someone reach there destiny with pure motives, asking for nothing in return, and God will honor that)

Some people are great with numbers, writing, speaking, dancing, oe even problem solving, all sorts of things. Whatever your natural talents are, learn to tap into it. God is the one who gives them to you, so ask Him to tell you what your talents are, but are you ready to listen to him?

Now, once you know what your natural gifts are.... request God to give you revelation on what steps to take towards reaching your destiny. I know what you’re thinking, “It’s not that easy.” But I’m here to tell you; it is that easy.

Let me ask you a question? How would you know if it’s easy or not? Have you asked God for revelation in your situation? Maybe he didn’t answer you on “your” time frame or the answer wasn’t what “you” wanted to hear; so you stopped praying and started doing your own thing. Okay, if that’s the case how’s it's working for you?

Now let me back up.... I'm not saying by any means that you won’t have to hard work and trials will never come your way, but when your in the will of God for your life; He will lead you over or though those mountains and you will have peace during those trials.

For those who have had enough of dealing with the same issues for the past 40 years, this is for you. The one who has decided to stop making excuses about why you aren’t walking in your vision, this is for you. Please believe me... God is here. He never left you and waits ready to assist and help you tap into your vision. (READ the BLUE PRINT) There is no way He would give you all these talents for you not to use them.

It’s YOUR responsibily to come to God and YOUR responsibilty to develop your talents. PREPARATION plus OPPORTUNITY equals SUCCESS. NO MORE EXCUSES.
