GO! Start “Where” you are

Walter R Reyes

Description

Walter challenges you, but he shows you step by step how to build, create and make your God given dream happen in your life. He helps you get rid of your excuses and shows you how to wake up to answer the call.

This book is a reminder that God has called you for “such a time as this”. The time to pursue your call is not in some far off distant future where everything is lining up perfectly for you and it all makes sense. This is the time that God is calling his people to take action in the here and now. The enemy would love to have us ignorant and oblivious to the fact that the Bible says, “life is but a Vapor”. Sometimes we live as if we have all the time in the world to pursue the purposes of God, but the truth is that

“life is but a vapor”, so God urges us to

cease the moment. I give specific instructions on how to cease the moment and how to implement and take action steps towards your high calling.

Ephesians 5:15-17 (TPT) says

“ … Take full advantage of every day as you spend your life for his purposes. And don’t live foolishly for then you will have discernment to fully understand God’s will.”

This book instructs on how to:



*Take full advantage of every day

* What it means to spend your life for his purposes

* Get discernment to understand God’s will for your Life



The Starting point for God's plan in your life is closer than you think.

INTRODUCTION
There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now.”
How well have you made use of this present time that God has gifted you? Have you been waiting for tomorrow to press forward toward your God given calling.
I feel a strong urgency from God to write on the subject of this book which is to urge believers to “Go!” and to do it for such a time as this. But of course I’m not telling you to live aimlessly and directionless on where to go. And when I say go I don’t mean to go to another geographical location or move from one location to another, I’m referring to your pursuit of the High calling of God in your life.
Philippians 3:12-16 (MSG) says,
“ I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong:
By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal , where God is beckoning us onward —to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. So let’s keep focused on that goal , those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision —you’ll see it yet! Now that we are on the right track, let’s stay on it.”
The apostle Paul was the writer of those verses. And there are a few things I want you to catch from it so I broke it down a little down below.
• Paul didn’t “have it all together” when he got started and you don’t have to either as you get started.
• He was a work in progress, so while God was working on him he was going to “work on” his calling
• Unsure of your Vision, don’t worry, “ God will clear your blurred vision”
• Your goal is to get your Sights on the Vision and not turn back
Just because you can’t make out your Vision doesn’t mean it isn’t there, the bible says, “Before you were born He knew you and called you.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
The bible talks about a blind man that Jesus laid hands on his “ eyes ” to heal him, and once Jesus prayed for him he could finally see! (story found in Mark 8:22-25 )
But there was something very unexpected and startling about the whole situation though. He could see alright, however he saw people and they looked like trees, like trees walking around. Jesus then laid hands on him a second time, and after that, the man could see crystal clear, his sight was completely restored.
I mention the story of this man because the word used in verse 23 for “ eyes ”, is the Greek word omma , and that word refers to “ both Physical and Spiritual Sight ”.
Not only did God restore his physical sight but he restored back to him his spiritual sight, he gave him vision to see towards his future. Vision to see beyond his human limitations.
The author, educator, lecturer and so much more Helen Keller who was not just deaf but also blind herself, said,
“ The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision. ”
However in this story Jesus gave this man Sight and Vision.
Something to note in this man’s life that is relevant to you since we know that the Word of God still speaks to us today and it’s that this man went from blind, to better, to best , notice the transition and that there was a process that he went through, he couldn’t see clearly right away even after a touch from Christ. When Christ laid hands on him the first time, everything changed but things didn’t seem to make any sense to him because he saw trees walking around for goodness sake! Something was off to say the least but no one could deny that there was significant progress, he went from being completely blind and dependent on others to guide him from one place to another to being able to see light, forms, structures, colors and movement, that was a miracle.
My point is that at first we won’t see everything as clear as day and our Vision might be unclear and hazy but as we move forward in faith and allow God to reveal His Vision for us then God will bring more and more clarity throughout the journey.
Romans 12:2 (ASV) says
“… be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the
 
good and
acceptable and
perfect will of God .”
We don’t jump over and skip the “ good ” and “ acceptable ” right over to the “ perfect will ” of God, it’s a process and that’s the way God intended for it to be because one thing prepares you for the next.
God already has a plan for you and your life. We are not asking God to make a plan and come up with a Vision for your life. He already has it; as a matter of fact the bible says in (Jeremiah 29:11)
“I know the Plans I have towards you, declares the Lord. They are plans to give you a hope and a future…”
God has a plan but we need to be made aware of what he has already planned for us to do. I pray that God will give you and or restore to you your spiritual sight so that your Vision will be revealed to you. You can compare it to walking into a dark room that is completely pitch black that you have never been in before, and at first you don’t know what’s around you or what’s in the room but if someone flips on the light switch you are now able to see the furniture and things that are in the room, the person that turned on the light didn’t bring in the furniture or decorate the space they just switched on the light and the light revealed what was already there to begin with. My prayer for you is that God will turn on the light so to speak and make known to you what to do as part of his already pre existing plan.
Ephesians 1:18 says
“I pray that the
