Beloved saints of God, I am writing this to bring clarity to many Believers who has received prophecy asking me these question: “What is it that brings a prophetic word to pass?” When a prophetic word is given, what role is the seeker to play in manifesting the promise given? Are we to simply wait patiently, as some have suggested, or is there a very real role to play? Surprisingly, where your promises are concerned, you’ve always had a very real “say” in the matter. Whether you realize it or not, you’ve been cast in the role of a lifetime, and it’s time to take center stage! All of Creation, as Apostle Paul says, is groaning with anticipation, waiting to see a performance of the sons and the daughters of God. Only you can play the role that you’ve been cast to play and no one else can do it for you. I use the analogy of “acting” because where most seem to miss out on their manifestations, where their prophetic words are concerned is that they believe, they hope, they wait, but very rarely, if ever, put action behind their visions and their dreams. If you’ve been given prophetic promises and are now finding yourself waiting for those promises to come to pass, I would lovingly and respectfully ask, “While you’re waiting, what are you doing?”
The Book of James reminds us that faith without “action” is no true faith! Without “action,” faith is nothing but just wishful thinking. James 1:23-25 declares, “But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.” Take note what the Book of James says: the power is not simply in the believing but in the “doing” meaning in the “acting.” Ask yourself when will your own promises or prophecy will come to pass in your life, I want to remind you that you and only you can determine that. Yes, your vision is divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit and the LORD is always faithful to perform His own WORD; however, there’s a very real role that you’ve been cast to play and only you can do it. It’s time to act! So often I hear the question, ” when will my prophetic promise come to pass?” To the surprise of some, the answer is “it depends.” Often we find ourselves shocked with the idea of personal responsibility. After all, there is no real work within the Kingdom, right? Well, not exactly. Although Heaven has inspired your vision, it’s up to you to “act” out your vision within the realm of earth. This means that the stage has already been set, the spotlight is now shining brightly upon you as you take center stage, as the curtains are drawn and the responsibility now rests upon the actor or actress meaning “you!” James 4:17 reminds us that when we know what to do and refuse to do it we miss the mark. Your prophetic word has confirmed to you that deep down you know exactly what you should do. You’ve always known the entire time, in fact. How long have you talked about starting your own business? How many years have you spent saying that one day you’d begin a ministry of your own? How many days have you continued to stay in that relationship that’s been literally draining the life out of you, “believing” that one day someone new will come along? Saints, you see where manifestation is concerned, the truth of the matter is that you “know” exactly what to do because of the Christ in you. You know the role that you’re called to play. All too often most simply develop a case of “stage fright” and fail to “act.” Today, that can change. You’ve prayed, you’ve waited, you’ve believed, and now it’s time to move. I want to encourage you to begin to make a decision as never before that you will begin to act on your vision. When Jesus promised his followers that they would receive “power,” he was actually passing the torch of personal responsibility. “Power” in Greek is “Dunamis,” meaning “ability.” Beloved saints of God and fellow seeker, whether you’ve ever realized it or not, you have the ability to manifest your visions and your dreams. You have the ability to manifest the Kingdom within the realm of Earth. You have the ability to create for yourself the abundant life you’ve been promised. As always pray unceasingly, stay still in faith as you move forward in the process. If you find yourself feeling “stuck,” I’d like you to prayerfully consider to stand in the word given and seek the heart of the Lord diligently withholding nothing by prayer and fasting till you hear His audible voice of confirmation in your spirit! The life of your dreams already exists for you; you simply need to begin to “act” it out by Faith!
