Feeling Trapped? Let’s Get Moving!

Greetings!  As I write these words to you I feel such a sense of urgency and expectation because I am soon to release my brand new book Get Out of Your Rut:  From Stagnant to Breakthrough!  Over the years, within prophetic ministry and even within my own personal life, what I’ve continued to find is that, more and more, there seems to be confusion about how to actually move forward. 

 

Having a dream or a vision or even a desire is one thing; however, how does one actually move toward the manifestation they’ve been promised?  In other words, once someone is given an actual promise or the realization of a dream for a more rich and abundant life, how does one get from “Point A” to “Point B?” And what does that journey look like? As you well know by now, even in the journey of faith, it can become so easy to begin to feel imprisoned and literally trapped – “stuck in a rut.”  

 

So often, in my sessions with clients who come to me for prophetic coaching, I hear, “Jeremy, I know what I want, but how do I get there?”  Often times these moments of questioning follow the pain of traumatic experiences – the breakup, the divorce, the loss of the job, or even the diagnosis.  Other times, also commonly, these questions arise from a lack of self-awareness as the individual finds himself or herself asking, “Is this truly the will of God for my life?”  Yet through it all, one thing remains constant:  indecisiveness.  My friend, while you’ve been waiting for God to move, although it may feel as though you’ve remained faithful, the blunt truth of the matter is that you’ve become far too indecisive.  While you’ve “waited,” what have you been doing?  Often, in life, even the most sincere and well-intentioned among us can become imprisoned in the feeling of being trapped as we all at times find ourselves feeling stuck in the ruts of life and not truly knowing how to move forward. And before long, complacency begins to set in as we resign ourselves to sit within the rut, claiming, “This must be the will of God.”  My friend, it’s time to begin to move and to act.  It’s time to finally reclaim control of your life and your God-given destiny.  

 

 

Unfortunately, as with most things, religion has done a great and terrible injustice to humanity by offering centuries of false teachings where the topic of “waiting” is concerned.  In the Book of Isaiah, we find the passage of scripture which declares that those who “wait” upon the LORD will have their strength renewed and will mount up on wings as eagles.  “Waiting,” though, doesn’t truly mean what most think it means.  In fact, to better understand the text from the Kingdom perspective requires a better, more comprehensive understanding of the language of the Bible.  “Wait” doesn’t mean to sit idly by or to simply stand still.  

 

In fact, the words of the Prophet Isaiah actually have very little to do with one’s own personal prayer life even. Instead, in the original language of the Bible, the word “wait” means to “bind the pieces together.”  It means to “tie together.”  In other words, to put it another way, “wait” means to build something!  All too often where the journey of faith is concerned, we sit on the sidelines, waiting, wishing, and hoping for the next big idea or the next “quick fix” or “easy way out.”  

 

As much of a bitter pill as it may seem to suggest, religious lies have made us lazy and as a result the entire Body of Christ has spent centuries claiming to believe but never really being very productive in matters of daily life.  It’s time to rethink your strategy and begin to draft a new blueprint for your life. You have been called to prosper in all things, even as your soul is prospering.  I’m a firm believer that “all things” means “all things.”  In other words, you can get out of your relationship ruts.  And, yes, you can get out of your financial ruts as well – only if you act.  How can you truly expect for God to continue to invest in your dreams and desires when you haven’t been willing to invest in them yourself?  

 

In my newest book, Get Out of Your Rut:  From Stagnant to Breakthrough! I share the time-tested and proven strategies designed to take you from your dream into the manifestation of your dream.  These time-tested strategies, coupled with the ancient wisdom of the Kingdom were the same strategies that I personally used to become a bestselling author of more than forty books.  Also, these are the same strategies I used to take the Gospel to the entire world when the Holy Spirit first birthed within me the vision of Identity Network all those years ago.

 

Somewhere along the way, you became stuck in your own journey of moving into the greater glories of God.  Somewhere along the way, as a result, you stopped believing in yourself, becoming content to remain trapped where you are.  My friend, I assure you that the moment you begin to build your life by becoming more decisive with your decisions, everything will become transformed.  When the Holy Spirit birthed within me the vision of the “Now” all those years ago, I realized how vitally important the issue of time within our world truly is. Whether you’ve realized it yet or not, you’ve been wasting a lot of precious, valuable time where your life is concerned – time that could have and, well, in all honesty should have been used to build the life you dream of.  Today, I want to encourage you and inspire you to begin to view your faith in a new and exciting way.  Moments are quickly passing you by.  It’s time to become un-stuck and get out of your rut!  As the scriptures declare, old things are passing away and all things are being made new.  My advice to you is to allow it to happen by beginning to finally act on your own God-given dreams.
