How to Overcome Procrastination | Another 1% Idea
See everyone visualizes the future and gets the weight of the matter figured out for the journey. That's a seed. It has to die first before it sprouts roots. Every seed planted is a God idea. In nature seeds always die before they start decomposing in the outer shell to form the nutrients and fuel to grow roots. Same with neurons. It's a natural phenomenon. It's also proof that you cannot take the DNA of your ideas and make it multiply. Only God brings the increase.
So you learn to let your motivation of planning die, so you can start the journey of growing roots of how you will start. Wait on God. Ask him for revelation on how to get started. See procrastination is a double mind. Romans 7 states that Paul could see by the Law of God within him, what he needed to do; but how to do it, was not known. While he delighted in the inner man for the ideas, he saw in the outer man the incompetency that grew more and more evil in it's nature as he tried to do what the Law or ideas required. He then said "Oh wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from this body of death." The outer incompetency dies before Christ quickens it.
Romans 6 tells us that the body of sin is crucified. Romans 7 tells us, sin revives when we are pressed by performance measures to man up and do something. The great news is Romans 8, how we are not measured by performance of our own; but God who quickens us to fulfill the call. Then he closes in saying nothing will separate him from the intimate call of Christ.
It's a living moment to hear the call and get the ideas; its a dying moment you can participate with by reckoning things dead, and then allow Christ to give you the strength through revelation to answer the call. If it's not a God idea, there may be nothing to motivate you to do something that is not God breathed; meaning eventually you will have to die to ideas that are not his so you can get ideas he will quicken.
We cannot do what we do not see the Father show us first. Jesus said, "With out me, you can do nothing. John 15." He also said, "I do nothing accept what my Father shows me." What we do in the flesh that is not birthed by the Holy Spirit will always be slavery. What we do according to his grace is always inheritance.
