When something is missing in your life it is very likely because you have not qualified for it yet. God often puts desires inside you for great things that are beyond your current level. You think that the great thing you’re pursuing is the reward, when the real reward is the new “you” that the pursuit is going to produce.

Several years ago I was frustrated by the fact that I wasn’t producing 60 per month in a certain area. I prayed and asked God why I was not able to hit “60 per month.”  For 2 years God did not say one thing in response to my prayer. After 2 years I started averaging over 60 per month. Then, for the first time in over 2 years, God begin to talk to me about it. He said, “Two (2) years ago you weren’t in position to produce 60 per month.”  “You didn’t have the structure for it; you didn’t have the staff for it; you didn’t have the marketing in place for it.”  In other words, you can pray for something that you have not even prepared for.  You can be praying for something that you are not going to receive because you do NOT qualify for it yet.

Many times we’re a roast beef sandwich level individual asking for a filet mignon level blessing. The “you” who asks for something great and the “you” who receives it will be two (2) different people. The “you” who receives the great thing you’re asking for today is usually a much more structured, disciplined, organized, and wiser individual. Focus on becoming the individual who already has the great thing you’re seeking. When you become that person, the thing you’re seeking will start seeking you…until it finds its way to your door.

Here’s how to accelerate the process:  Just start acting like the person you were going to give yourself 5 years to become.
