  1.  Ask God tonight for direction on unclaimed wealth, unknown ideas and unused potential.

Have you ever wondered why you aren’t accomplishing more?

When we begin to think back about why we didn't do this …  or why that didn't work, the very first thought our flesh will usually come up with is an excuse.... all we need to do is begin making excuses and the devil is ever ready to jump in and help us out.

Don’t give him the satisfaction.

Hebrews 12:12-13 in the Message Bible really stirred my spirit when I read it.  The verses say:

“So don't sit around on your hands! No more dragging your feet! Clear the path for long-distance runners so no one will trip and fall, so no one will step in a hole and sprain an ankle. Help each other out. And run for it!”

What would make people sit on their hands and drag their feet. . .it happens when they make excuses.

The American Heritage Dictionary says that an excuse is “the act of justification.”

There are 78 days left in 2015. . .this article is designed to help you imagine where you want to be on New Year’s Eve.  It will be here before you know it.

I’m not talking about which church service or party you will attend but where you will be in life. . .that night.  Will you have achieved your goals?  Will you be full of anticipation and expectation about 2016?

Let’s start by establishing a very basic fact.  There are only two ways you can see what will be happening on New Year’s Eve.

First, with your natural eyes.

Second, with your imagination.

The word imagination is defined in the Merriam Webster Intercollegiate Dictionary as:

One of my favorite teachings is entitled “Don’t Be Hypnotized By The Appearance of Lack.”

Matthew 14:15 in the New Living Translation says:

“That evening the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.”

The disciples brought Jesus a negative report.

Now get a picture of this…those closest to Jesus . . . those who had seen Him heal blinded eyes, restore lame limbs, and work mighty miracles. . .those closest to Him were hypnotized by the appearance of lack.

10.  God has given us the power to get wealth…not welfare. Deuteronomy 8:18

Perhaps our biggest regret is not for things we have done but rather for the things we’ve failed to do. . .or didn’t even try.

Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin once said:

“The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.”

The Lord keeps directing me to talk about discovering previously unknown opportunities and tapping into previously unused potential.

There’s a reason why God wants us tapping into what we’ve never utilized or maximized.

God created us. . .He knows the potential living within us. . .He knows what we’re capable of. . .He knows the destiny awaiting us. . .if we seize the moment.

God also knows the best way to experience previously unknown opportunities is to expect them.
