Word for the Season ~ Fall 2007

Quantum Leap
Are you still waiting for the fulfillment of a dream or the attainment of a goal? Is there a vision that remains crystal clear in your head yet not manifested in the natural? For years I had been praying, waiting and looking for the right time to launch a ministry related idea. It had been my habit to wait for a thought, an idea or concept to be validated by someone else. I found myself continually submitting the same petition to God, "Are you sure God? Please tell me if this is the right time, send me a right now word or a sign to confirm this as true!" I was stuck, unable to move forward! Although I thought this particular assignment was ordained for me, I began to believe there was never a right time, never enough money or human resources to bring this thing to pass. That was until several months ago. I decided this time while asking of God, I would also to ask myself these simple questions, "Do you really believe? What do you believe?"

A Confident Faith
The answers to these questions came rushing forward as I began to recall how often I have believed and have been sustained by God's benevolent provision for everything in my life. In every life situation, His Word, relentless love and compassion has kept me, compelled me to move forward, leaning not on my understanding, but trusting Him to do His work. I soon began to realize what had been holding me back all the time; I had been putting confidence in my flesh, believing only what I could see with the natural eye, and not allowing for a work God could only perform in the supernatural. In the natural there would never be enough money, time or resources, but "FAITH IS" having a profound confidence that what we hope for will actually happen and gives us an assurance of things we cannot see." This requires a believing faith! In other words, I began to realize I already have everything I need, the vision will flourish and not fail, it's already Blessed and Sealed in Heaven! There is but one small thing needed; A Leap of Faith! A Quantum Leap!

Quantum Defined
The term quantum is used to describe the quantity or amount of radiant energy that is sudden and significant, causing development, allowing one to advance while moving from a place of restriction into a place of increase. How often I speak with individuals who are still waiting on God and not moving forward because they fear failure, not wanting to leave the place of familiar or comfort. They believe God will do it for them, yet they take little responsibility in willfully participating in their own breakthrough. Obviously there is a work required on our part. We need to move from a place of immobility, become willing and active participants in this work. While we're waiting on God, more often God is waiting on us to give him something to work with." A quantum leap is not a simple skip or little jump, but a sudden, significantly transitional movement from a place of obscurity and unbelief into a realm of clarity, illumination and extraordinary provision. Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead." We must leap! And in our leaping, we become transilient, radiating the Glory of God, bringing radical change and passage from a less than desirable condition into a realm of restoration and favor. Are you still waiting for God? Maybe God is waiting for you to make up your mind! Take a Leap of Faith! And, "According to your faith will it done for you!" Matthew 9:29 NIV
