You Were Created For Greatness!

Do you know you were created for greatness?  Do you know God put great things inside of you on purpose to make lives better on this planet starting with your own?  What does your “being great” look like to you?  What problem on earth would you solve if you could?  What can you do right now that would be a step closer to you living in your greatness?  How do I know this is even possible?  I know because David talks about it in Psalms 71:21 – You will make me truly great and take my sorrow away (cev).  Then I took some steps to see for myself if it was true & you should do the same thing!

All of us have daily responsibilities that tend to steal our dreaming time.  We all have to work in order to pay our bills.  We have homes to keep in order and various relationships that demand our attention.  So little time is left just for us!

So, let your reading of this article be the start of you taking 5 minutes  (just start with 5 minutes- that’s about the same time it would take you to actually read this article) everyday to focus only on yourself!  I heard those demons talking to you – what is 5 minutes gonna do? You’ll be surprised when you see what you & God can do with only 5 minutes.  Let me show you what I mean.

Sit back and get comfortable, kick off your shoes, put your feet up and silence all of your phones.  When was the last time you did that?  LOL.  Now, close your eyes & think about just one thing you’ve always dreamed of doing.  Once you have the thing chosen, don’t make it too deep, just pick the first thing that pops into your mind or the thing you want the most – then start to see yourself doing it, don’t forget to ask God to help you.  Let it appear & run just like a movie.  It will take shape right before your inner eyes, just follow God’s lead & it will be like watching any other movie.  Now pay special attention to the places, colors, smells and those people around you!  Breathe slowing & deeply so that you stay relaxed while watching.  When 5 minutes has passed, click the pause button on your movie and open your eyes.  Before you can be distracted,  pick up your journal or notebook and write down everything you can remember about your vision/movie while it’s still fresh in your mind.  This is what I call “vision casting”.

Once you do that, start talking to God about it! Tell Him how you just felt while watching your vision –  the excitement, the peace, the joy about it!  Talk to Him about any obstacles that you think may be in your way.  Satan and your flesh will make sure to bring them to your attention – probably while you were in the middle of vision casting!  But remember, dreaming is free – free from obstacles and free from cost!  So keep dreaming!  You can do this & Jesus will help you – Philippians 4:13 – (amp) ¹³ I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]

Didn’t you like what you saw?  I know you did, so keep taking that 5 minutes a day to see what else God wants to show you via your vision casting.  God make you in His image because He made you to usher in His miracles – Genesis 1:26 – Then God said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.”  You will soon discover that the movie/vision you are watching is God’s way of showing you the great things He put inside of you! This is how you can connect with your divine assignment & purpose while at the same time, pull yourself onto the path God has for your life!  Where do you think your desire to do these things came from?  God put them in you in seed form – Jeremiah 29:11 –   For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope.  Your spending time – just 5 minutes a day vision casting, acts as water on that seed – you are the dirt/ground.  And what happens to seeds planted in the ground (you) when you water it?  It grows!

As the seed inside you grows and grows, it will change you.  As it grows, it will burn bright inside you and the entire trajectory of your life will now change!  For example, you will finally take that class and get that degree you’ve been talking about for years.  You’ll write that book that you secretly wanted to write.  You’ll take that trip you’ve always wanted to take.  Now what seemed to be impossible not only becomes possible, you will actually live it!   Won’t He do it?  Yes He will!  There is no one better than our God!  I dare you to test it!  Let me calm down, lol!

Once you’ve tackled that first dream (of course with God’s help) what can stop you now – nothing!  Isaiah 54:17 says “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn.This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord.  Just like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, you will realize that you had the power inside of you all along. So come on and start right now!

Can you tell I’m getting excited?  I’m not talking about what I’ve heard or read in some book, I’m talking about what I know because I lived it! No matter what your yesterday was like, no matter what you’ve done or what was done to you, today is the first day of the rest of your life starting right now!  All it takes to start is 5 minutes a day.  Test God and see what He can do with that 5 minutes.  I dare you!

You were created for greatness!  God and I believe in you, but can you believe in yourself?
