Welcome back to the Brilliant Perspectives podcast. I'm your host, J. Lynn Bowden.

And today, we're wrapping up our monthly series with one last clip from the live conference

called Developing Your Destiny. We're learning all about what it means to see ourselves in the present

based on God's declaration of how He sees our future. And if you didn't already know,

Jeremiah2911 tells us that he's got some really good plans in store.

Since that's the case, I've got one quick question for you. How do you feel about investing?

The idea that we're setting aside something valuable right here and right now with the confident

expectation that we'll see an even greater return in the future. What I love about today's clip

is that we're taking this principle of investing and making it incredibly practical

for our life in the spirit. Let's jump right in with Graham as we learn what it means to invest

in our own destiny starting today. All success is backward. You know, and I've learned in

business, you know, there's this critical path analysis in business where you start with a

launch date in mind and you work back to the present to determine a pathway of development

so that you can hit that time. When you get a prophetic word, you've got an outcome.

And now you need to work back from that word to figure out what are all the things that I need

to learn and become so that that word can be realized. And here's the brilliant thing is,

the more you start practicing that, the closer the word comes. And the more you give yourself to

that preparation, the closer the nearer and nearer it gets. And so what was 10 years in the word

could be 18 months, could be two years because God is a quickening spirit and when He's in the mood

so you're a quickening spirit too. We're not living in the present with no concept of our future.

That beloved is a legal behavior. We have a God who knows our future and tells us how we can align

ourselves with Him to create a pathway from now to then and there. Jesus loved to say the hour
