"The Keys to 'Suddenly!' --Preparation is NOT Wasted Time"

Preparation time is not wasted time! You must really understand this principle in your heart. Christ needed 30 years to prepare for a 3-year assignment that would evolve into an everlasting legacy!

Many of us need 10-, 20-, and 25-year preparations to prepare for "an overnight manifestation of significance." Every one is a day away from tangible greatness and significance. But the years of seeming toil are a much needed "training center" to produce an everlasting product that won't be forgotten or wasted.

God is building us for legacy. He is defining us for everlasting landmarks that will continue to reproduce after themselves. There is, within the confines of our eternal legacy, a revelation of the Kingdom that will birth -- more and more intense revelation and wisdom for the future.

We are now experiencing wisdom and revelation that was not even fathomable, even in the days of the apostles, because the Kingdom has caused this knowledge to be INCREASED.

So, please do not fret over the length of time it takes for significant accomplishment. The intensity of the legacy will determine the intensity of the preparation. Also, you must realize that the legacy is different than the assignment. The "after effects" or "post-assignment Glory" will determine the legitimacy and the substance of the assignment. A "dead work" is a work that produces no significant life, memory, or powerful reproduction. It is a work that is barren, even though it still moves around.

Have You Suffered "Death" in the Midst of An Assignment? Be Encouraged!

During your times of preparation and assignment, relationships may be severed, rejected, and fearfully misunderstood. Assignments can cause things to be said that should not have been said. It may cause things to be done that should not have been done, or things to be misunderstood that should not have been misunderstood. You may experience "inward death" in the midst of an assignment.

However, even if you experience "death" within the life of an assignment, the legacy will reveal that life was produced in those who were once around you. Christ's assignment in the earth produced life amongst His disciples, and yet it produced betrayal and denial amongst them as well. It even produced a suicide in the apostolic ranks. But yet, the legacy of His life and purpose is enjoyed by all of us today, so many centuries later. We are yet receiving new insight and significant manifestations of wisdom that many in His day "did not receive, nor did they understand." Christ Himself is enjoying a new time with us today, looking upon us as His 21st century apostolic friends, brothers, and disciples.

I can imagine Him getting great joy in the revelations that we receive of Him, even to the point of Him realizing that we may have caught what those who walked with Him did not "catch," even while with Him.

You are One Hour, One Day, or One Second Away from an Incredible Discovery of Favor

You are one hour, one day, or one second away from an incredible discovery of favor. But it may take years of practice to become an overnight discovery!

Don't be afraid of the term called "years." It is truly not wasted time.

While you are experiencing the years of redefinement, continue to yield yourself to the hand of the Lord. Do not faint in your yielded lifestyle to the Father. Manifestation remains locked in the vault of potential as a result of an unyielded life. Even pro-longed potential (dormant power, ability, and capacity) is the result of a consistent unyielded life. Even certain lack in life as well.

During your "time of process," you must continue to yield your life over to the hand of the Father and His Kingdom. Christ was the Master of the yielded life, and it gave Him the ability to receive the benefits and glory as a result of it. These benefits did not come "by default." They didn't happen "because of Who He was." It became manifest as a result of what He did!
