Good morning my friends! I’m so stirred in my spirit this morning and the presence of the Lord is so present. I love this time of day when the house is quiet and the Spirit calls out to me, “It’s time to act as though what I’ve promised has already happened, because it has.” Isaiah 48:3 TLB says; Time and again I told you what was going to happen in the future. My words were scarcely spoken when suddenly I did just what I said.

Get ready! God means what he said and only those who believe Him will see it manifested in their lives. In 1999, the now deceased Dick Mills gave me a word. This is a portion of it; “You are being groomed, conditioned and prepared for a special time in God’s calendar.  It’s more than 15 minutes of fame.  It’s a long preparation for a short, quick work. (Romans 9:28 “For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”) It’s been a long time getting here but now the “getting ready” time is just about over.  You’re coming into an arena for which you have been preparing for, for a long time.  Who knows if you have come to this place for such a time as this? You’ve always known you were picked out for selective activities.  It’s not a feeling of superiority nor an elitism.  The facts are, “You have been chosen for a special function by the Lord above.” He’s planning His supernatural power to be distributed worldwide.  You’re chosen to be one of His recipients.”

That was 15 years ago in Lansing, Michigan at Mt. Hope Church, where we were content to stay for the rest of our lives.  We had excellent jobs, involved in leadership, close to family and friends.  Three years later, we quit our jobs and moved far away with only a promise that God was leading us and would never leave us. Ridiculous! Crazy! At our age? What were we thinking?! Let me tell you something, my friend; I’d rather be in the center of Gods will at great sacrifice, than to be comfortable and ignore the leading of the Lord any day!

When God spoke to me this morning and said, “It’s time to act as though what I’ve promised has already happened, because it has.” I can guarantee you this, I’ll be acting differently from this point forward. I will carry myself differently in preparation for what is manifesting. I’ve learned that what God says, He means. I’m excited! I’m expectant! I’m thankful! Don’t tell me ships don’t dock where there’s no water because if God said he would do it, it will happen. Don’t tell me a plane can’t land in my driveway because if God said it, it’s going to happen. When you stop saying, “IMPOSSIBLE!” and begin believing that nothing is impossible with God, you will see it too.
