The Power to Live in “Today” While Thinking Into “Tomorrow”

Not only should I be “thinking” ahead, but I should be “going” ahead. You see, you must go into the future on the “inside” before you’ll ever get there on the “outside.” The other night I was speaking to someone who was in Paris. It was Thursday night where I was at. I said, “What time is it there?” She said, “It’s 10 am.” She said, “I’m already in the future.” Wow! I was in Thursday evening and she was already in Friday morning…both at the same time.

That is why God gives you an imagination—to allow you to visit an amazing future ahead of time. He gives you an imagination to allow you to see pictures of an awesome future to motivate the actions necessary to get there. Imagine-nation. God allows you to go and get images from “another” nation and bring them to “your” nation to produce a “new” nation (a new personal world). What images are you capturing about your future?

You can do something significant “today” that will trigger something more amazing “tomorrow.” This moment is setting up the next moment. This moment is setting up a future moment. This moment is pregnant with power. This moment is pregnant with purpose.

God has made us bi-dimensional. You can be in this moment and set something in motion for the next moment. In so doing, you are in both moments at the same time. Just because something appears to not be going right in the current moment doesn’t mean that trend will continue.

Your “heart” is more intelligent than your “circumstances.” What is your heart telling you? I’m not asking what your circumstances are saying. Have you listened to what your heart has to say? If not, break away from everything and get in a quiet place and just listen. Is your heart saying?…

  • Things are going to get better.
  • This situation IS going to turn around.
  • As long as you have time you have a chance for a turnaround.
  • Your destiny is ordering divine corrections.
  • You always come out on top.
  • Break away from the details.
  • Break away from a certain person.
  • Get away from a certain group of people.
  • Every storm that “starts” has a “finish.”
  • Even if it doesn’t turn out the way you think, it will still turn out in your favor.
  • The presence of difficulty does not mean the absence of God.
  • You made it through every difficulty up to this point and are still standing.
  • You’re “unkillable!”

What is your heart saying?

Although you are in your “present” you can still affect your “future.” You are so powerful that you can live in “today” while thinking into “tomorrow.”

Birthing Results!

More often than not we try to produce significant “external results” without any meaningful “internal support.” In other words, in order to birth something significant you have to be pregnant with it first. We often focus on the result instead of focusing on what produces it.

When what you’re carrying becomes bigger than the womb that’s holding it, it is forced to be released to a world with enough capacity to hold it. All it takes is feeding what you’re pregnant with until it becomes too big to stay inside.

What is it that you want to birth? What results can you no longer live without? Who is it that you need to become? Get pregnant first. You have to get pregnant with what it is that you’re going after. Take it in. Plant it in your spirit. Then, start feeding that baby—and in nine (9) months, boom, you will have that “baby.” Now elephants are pregnant for 22 months before they give birth. The revelation is this, if you want to produce elephant size results, you must be willing to feed what you’re pregnant with for a longer period of time.

There are times when you realize that you are already pregnant with a dream or desire, and there are other times when you realize that you need to get pregnant with your desire. There has to come a moment in your life where you decide what is missing in your life “today” will not be allowed to be non-existent “tomorrow.”

Are you already pregnant with something great? If so, you better feed that baby. You become what you’re full of. What is it that you can no longer live without? Start feeding that thing. Give it a constant dose of 5 things:

  1. Visualization

You have to go there on the “inside” before you can go there on the “outside.” You must get an image on the inside of what it is that you’re trying to produce. You must keep images in front of your eyes of what you desire to see in your life. Get images of it—both internal images and actual pictures.

  1. Meditation

Biblical meditation is not the absence of thought. It’s not trying to rid your mind of thoughts. It is the deliberate repetition of God’s word in your mouth & mind. Meditation is to go over in your mind; to mutter (which is to speak with a low voice under your breath). God told Joshua that his success is tied to his ability to meditate (see Joshua 1:8).

3.   Revelation

Open your heart to the unveiling—the revealing of something specific about what it is that you’re trying to produce. What you entertain believes it has a chance to enter your life. Expect for your vision to be awakened to see and know things that you never knew before. Look for answers to suddenly appear.

4.  Expectation

Expectation is giving the future something to prepare for. That’s right—your expectation gives your future an assignment to obey. Expect to see in your “future” what you currently see in your “spirit.” Expectation is a form of releasing your faith. Faith has to be released in order for it to produce.

  1. Declaration

A declaration is an emphatic statement backed by power and authority. The atmosphere has ears. The atmosphere is pre-coded to obey commands from those with authority. After Jesus effectively got the winds to obey him, people concluded, “Even the winds and waves obey Him.” When was the last time you even attempted to speak to an atmosphere?

It’s time for results. Period. Results!
