When It Seems Like Nothing Is Happening

Have you ever felt like waving the white flag to God?

Have you ever been on the verge of giving up on your call to wealth?

Have you came close to giving up the idea of multiple streams of income or running your own business because the pressure of the extra responsibility gets to be too much?

Don't you wish you had a surrender flag letting God know HELLO!!!! I'm about to give up if you don't do something! If you don't come and help a kid out, I'm on the edge of making a decision that you may not like!?!

God!?! You there!?!

If you haven't figured this out already there will be times when it seems like nothing is happening. Through all of the stress and strains there will be times when you no longer feel that you have the strength to lean into the resistance. The pain of not knowing or not seeing is something not easy to explain, especially in times of tragedy, disappointment and failures. No matter how much praying, meditating, studying, or pushing forward you do, sometimes running the race God planned for you will seem impossible. At some point there will be times that you will not see evidence of progress. Long periods of not witnessing progress can lead to more disappointments, failures and even an ulcer.

There was a time when my business was not looking like it was going to succeed and I stood on faith for many long months knowing that the Bible states that my God shall supply all of my needs. I was not about to let circumstances kick me off of my path. I thought that if I just kept pushing ahead covered with the armor of God then everything would work out. So with much prayer, studying and forcing my way through the trenches ripping territory away from the enemy's hands, I started to notice slight change. The change was so slight that every so often I would come to a very dark place. I mean come on! I am a child of God so these bad things should have no effect on me. Why weren't profits increasing, customer numbers increasing, or my life running any smoother? After all, isn't my God a God of increase? Through much embarrassment of owing money and not being able to pay the money owed on time and sometimes months behind; anger and resentment began to rise up inside of me. Not angry at God but angry that the Scriptures did not seem to be able to keep it's promise. After all, I was stepping out on blind faith. Accepting the wealth call in order to fund His kingdom. Right? Sounded reasonable to me at the time.

Every few months I would ask God what was going on or how come the Word was not producing in my life. One day, mourning in my defeats; I decided to veg out and eat lots of food and watch a sappy movie. Of course I cried through most of it but it helped me keep my mind off of myself. It wasn't until the end of the movie that God spoke to me through it. In the movie the actor had written everything great he saw in his wife. Every great characteristic he knew her to have and that if she was ever feeling doubt, unbelief, or was losing hope in her abilities then she needed to stop and take a look at her life through her husband's eyes. God asked me to do the same thing. God told me that when I start to lose hope, cast doubt, or stop believing in myself and my God given abilities than I need to stop and see myself through God's eyes.

Here are a few ways that your Father God sees you.

1. You're A Creator

In Genesis 1:27 and Colossians 3:10 of the King James Version of the Bible it states that you are created in God's image and God's likeness. Since you are created in the image of the Creator than it should not be a surprise that God sees you as a creator as well?

Knowing that you are a creator is the key to long term success and happiness. When you feel tired, unmotivated, doubtful it is usually in times when you have neglected your creativity. We are innate creators and when we deprive our natural instinct to master our world around us we become weak. The instinct to create is so powerful that if you notice people that do not have this revelation tend to create negativity, tragedy, or chaos around them. Knowing the power of creating my world around me is still sometimes forgotten and I start to focus on the circumstances that surround me. Someone that creates a work of art be it a painting, music, writing, etc. does not do so in a moment's notice. It takes practice to master the art of anything. Lots and lots of practice. So lets get started!

When God formed the earth He did so by speaking. Lets take the word universe. Uni means one and verse means sentence. The first sentence in the Bible should be pretty important right? Genesis 1:1 states that God created the heaven and the earth (universe). Or restated is God created the heaven and the earth in a single spoken sentence. Another important scripture touching on this topic is Genesis 2:19-20. In this scripture God told Adam to name everything in the earth. Adam said it and it was. Read Genesis 1 sometime and count up how many times scripture states the God said, spoke, or called something and it just was.


2. You are more than a conqueror

Romans 8:37 states that you are more than a conqueror.

Check out these definitions of the word conqueror:

To defeat or subdue by force, especially by force of arms; To gain or secure control of by or as if by force of arms: scientists battling to conquer disease; a singer who conquered the operatic world; To overcome or surmount by physical, mental, or moral force. (www.thefreedictounary.com)

The Bible states that you are MORE than a conqueror!


3. You Are Royalty!

God created you in His image and His likeness. You are a child of The Most High!

Matthew 7:11 states "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"

John 10:10 states that "Jesus came that you might have life and have it more abundantly"

Here's one that you need to read for yourself just to make sure that you know that I'm not making this statement. Go ahead, pull out your own Bible and read it for yourself. I don't know about your Bible but my Bible states in John 14:12 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."

Think about that one!

So getting back to my point. There are lots of promises that are made to you being a child of God. I encourage you to study more on this subject and do some research of those promises.

All that time spent begging and pleading God to do miracles either supernaturally through other people. Just do something. All of that complaining that the scripture should do what it states. But what I did not realize was that I was doing it to myself. God asked me to stop and take a look at myself through His eyes. God made all of us in His image and His likeness. You are of royal blood! Now, when you feel like all hope is lost or start to get anxious, stop and see yourself as God sees you. He has already made a way and finished everything in the beginning. He works miracles by using people he does not impose His miracles at a whim, He does it through others faith, prayer, but most importantly through you. Anything that you have need of, anything that you're going through, God has equipped you to create an answer! He has equipped you to create a solution. So in times when it looks like there is no one helping you then you need to look inside yourself and know that God's nature is on the inside of you showing you how to make a way out of no way.

Dear God,
Thank you for your nature that resides on the inside of me and that I allow that nature to be dominant in my life. Hebrews 11:6 states that without faith it is impossible to please you and that you are a rewarder of them that diligently seek You so I pray for the strength to seek you more and more every day. Give me the desire to grow such a deep relationship with you that I will always follow your voice and not the voice of a stranger and that I use my creativity to line up with your will and purpose that you have for my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

To Your Success and Freedom,
