"Set Clear Goals Now and Experience Fruitfulness in the Next 5
Years"
 Upon
arising March 22, the Lord spoke these words to me: "If
you make clear goals now, then within the next 5 years you will experience
multiplied fruitfulness." He further spoke to me that, in this hour,
we could not simply maintain the vision He gave us last year or the year before
but it was very important that we have clear directives from His Spirit for this
season. If we establish clearly defined, God-inspired goals at this time, then
within 5 years we will experience multiplied levels of fruitfulness. If we fail
to clearly define goals, then our fruitfulness would be limited, and we would be
remorseful over this in the coming days. There was urgency in the Lord's tone
over this.
Biblical Characters Were Given Clear Goals
From God
Moses had a clear goal to build the tabernacle in the wilderness. God gave him
the specific blueprint, and Moses put the plan into action. As a result, Israel
was blessed in their journey through the wilderness and the coming generations,
even to this day, were blessed with the revelation of Christ that was hidden
within the tabernacle.
Joshua received a clear goal to take the children of Israel into the Promised
Land. When he followed the Lord's instruction carefully, they all possessed and
occupied and enjoyed the fruit for years following. John the Baptist had a clear
goal to prepare the way of the Lord. Jesus had a clear goal to fulfill the
eternal, unbreakable covenant between God and Man. The early church had a clear
goal to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
No Need To Spin Wheels
You do not need to spin wheels in this hour. You do not need to live in a rut.
The Lord is going to give you fresh vision that will become a solid foundation
for you to move forward on. Get ready; you are going to experience new hope and
fresh direction. You are living now in what you sowed in the past seasons, but
what you sow now you will reap in the coming years. Plan your harvest this year
for what you will reap in the next 5 years.
Seeds are going to grow faster and larger in the next 5 years than ever before.
The next five years are important years for you. Be careful what you sow. You
will reap what you sow. If you sow to the flesh, you will reap corruption, but
if you sow to the Spirit you will reap life. The Lord says that seeds are going
to grow faster and larger in the next 5 years, more than in any other time of
your life. Those who plant bad seeds (like discord, hatred, enmity, strife,
jealousy, etc.) in this hour will reap a massive harvest of those things within
5 years, but in the same manner, those who sow good seed, Kingdom seed, will
reap a bountiful harvest of blessing that will overtake them. This is the best
time to sow good seeds. You will receive a huge return. Be careful what you sow.
This hour is the best time to set fresh clear goals for your life. You will
experience fulfillment beyond your wildest dreams.
God's Stamp Of Approval Is Vital
Your goals must have God's stamp of approval on them. God knows how to set
goals, and He does. He is the Master Goal Setter. He set His goals in place for
the redemption of man. He set His goals in place for the return of Christ. He
set His goals for His glorious church. God always accomplishes His goals. He can
help you learn to set goals and fulfill them just like He does. He will inspire
you to set goals if you wait on Him. Successful goals are to be determined by
His Spirit and not birthed from your carnal, soulish desires. Spend time in the
presence of the Lord. Wait on Him to give you fresh vision. He will. He is the
All Wise God.
Wait with expectancy for God to speak. Ask the Lord to inspire specific vision
in your heart. I like to wait on the Lord with pen and paper ready. Wait with
determination and expectancy for the Lord to speak. Prepare yourself as you
wait. I usually pray the following prayer in preparation to hear from God:
"Father, I come to You and ask that You would convict me of any un-confessed
sin. I do not want anything to hinder my ability to hear from You. Forgive me of
any thought, word, or deed that has been displeasing to You. I turn away from
such things and receive cleansing. In Jesus' name I choose to cast down my own
soulish thoughts, desires, and imaginations. In Jesus' name I bind the enemy's
voice. I determine to only hear from You Lord. The voice of a stranger, I will
not hear. Only Your voice do I submit to. Fill me afresh now with Your precious
Holy Spirit and cause me to discern Your voice. Thank You Lord. Amen."
Covering All The Bases
Now, the beauty of this type of prayer is that you cover all the bases. You have
removed the issue of sin so that there is no hindrance there. You have cast down
your own soulish inclinations. You have bound the enemy from interfering, and
you have invited the Holy Spirit to fill you and speak to your heart. That takes
care of anything that might hinder your ability to hear from God. The next thing
is to simply believe that what comes to your heart is of Him. Have confidence.
God usually speaks His will into your thoughts and imagination, so don't shake
off the dreams that come into your heart and mind. Don't think, "Oh, that's
probably just me." Remember, you just prayed the prayer to cast down the things
that come from your own soulish nature. You have just prayed to bind the enemy.
You have fully submitted and yielded to the Spirit--so trust then that He is
speaking to you. Do not doubt, for the double-minded man is unstable in all his
ways and will receive nothing from the Lord (see James
1:5-7).
Have Clearly Defined Goals
The first step in fulfilling a goal is to have one. Make sure that you have
clearly defined goals, and write them out. Remember the word of the Lord here is
concerning the next 5 years, so simply ask Him to give you vision for the next 5
years. Invite Him to give you insight into your walk with Him, your ministry,
family, employment, financial areas, health, etc. Get specific. The promise He
is giving us is enormous. Remember that what you sow in this next 5 years will
reap an enormous harvest, so don't sow small amounts of vision…go for as much as
your heart can receive from Him. Once you have your goals, write them out so
that you can see them and be reminded of them. Ask the Lord to give you
scripture promises to confirm your goals.
When you have your goals defined, you will need a plan of action. Invite the
Lord to show you the steps you can take in order to fulfill your goals.
Remember, "faith without works is dead". It
is easy to have a vision, a clear goal, but if you don't put feet to the goal,
then it only remains a vision and will not materialize. Pray into your vision
and invite the Lord to give you a plan of action.
As a visionary gift, I am loaded with vision. It pops up in me like popcorn. I
need to discern what is born from the gift itself and what is directed of the
Spirit of God for me to walk in at a given time. When I witness that a vision is
born of the Spirit and is to be embraced, then I need to develop the plan of
action and put things into motion. If I don't, it's only a vision. I can talk
about it, but that won't fulfill it. I must have the plan of action. In the same
way you wait on the Lord for the vision, you wait on Him for the plan of action.
Write it all down and make sure it is clear.
Taking Action
Once you have the plan of action, then the next step is to take action. The
early church received the following clear goal from the Lord: preach the gospel
to every creature. They also had a plan of action:
"Tarry in Jerusalem until the promise of the Father comes…and… "You will receive
power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you and you will be My witnesses…"(see Acts
1:1-8). They had the goal and the plan of action. Then they obeyed.
They did not move to the right or to the left of that plan of action. It was a
good thing that they didn't. It was a good thing they didn't take it into their
own hands after 5 days of waiting. They could have said, "Gosh, we have tarried
for 5 days now, and we still have no evidence of power from on high, let's go
and preach the gospel...after all... Jesus told us to go." Oh my, can you
imagine?
They were halfway there in their journey of obedience to fulfilling the plan of
action. They could have missed the power they needed if they had taken it into
their own minds. They could have totally missed the mark. By waiting, they saw
3,000 added to the church in one day. If they had of gone in their own strength,
they probably would not have seen any saved...just a lot of work and effort but
no results. Jesus said in John 6:63, "...the flesh
profits nothing." They received the plan of action and then they took
action. This brought amazing results.
Dream Big
The next 5 years will be a time of fruitfulness for you. Sow as much as you can.
Dream as big as you can. Receive a clear, well-defined goal, then a plan of
action, and then-- take action. Go for it and reap the amazing results. It is a
promise from the Lord for you.
