(Yearly Cycle) God, Why is this taking so long?

Uncategorized Jan 22, 2021

We are in a time of the year where it may seem like time is going by really quickly. This is a reminder that God has given us the ability to both speed up and slow down time. We need both the ability to slow time down by squeezing the most out of the moments we have while also accelerating our productivity and results. 

God has given us control over how we experience time, but sometimes it can feel like certain things can take forever. You may find yourself asking...God, what's taking so long?

Sometimes we must wait because God is teaching us to trust him and other times we must wait because there is a perfect timing and if God did it too early it may create a problem. 

However, assuming these are not the case here are some ways to accelerate results. These come from the Time Blueprint. 

The first thing to understand about time is that time and space are one. Any improvement in positioning automatically changes how we experience time. The first key to positioning is having our priorities in order. We are told to seek first the kingdom of heaven. 

The next key to positioning is humility. Taking a humble approach that asks God for help and continues to trust him even when things are delayed is key. Many times out of pride we try to over intervene. Instead of letting God work things out, we take things into our own hands and try to force or effort our way to results.

Galatians 3:3 says... after beginning with the spirit are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort. 

When results are delayed or lacking we tend to get in the way and try to force or effort our way into making things happen. This just slows things down even more. 

Instead of over intervening use what I call the 4P's of productivity... Praying, praising, playing, and people. 

Pray, turning the issue over to God. Then let him have it. If you have done what you know to do already give it to him and let go of it. 

Praise and Play. Then move into praising God and having fun. Stop worrying, stressing, and being frustrated about it. Focus on enjoying life and let God have it. 

People are the final accelerator. People can be the biggest thing that are either slowing things down or speeding them up. Sometimes you just need to find the right person to help, and God may direct you to that person.
