At the onset, I thwart the diabolical tactic of the enemy and decree and declare… “NO guilt and NO condemnation!” The reason it was necessary for me to openly announce and pronounce with the authority God has given me over all the power of the enemy, is because what I’m about to address could be used by the demonic forces of hell as a weapon against you instead of a divine tool for effective living. So in advance, I’ve set the order of the Kingdom...now read on!Recently I was speaking with a Sister-Friend and our conversation sparked this revelation…NEVER sit on a Divine Strategy! Let’s take the time to initially focus on one word that is in this sentence…sit! According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, one definition for sit is “to rest” which is defined as “absence of motion.”
Therefore, another way to verbalize this revelation is…
At no time whatsoever is it acceptable to remain stationary,
refusing to move when God has released to you a Plan of Action.
Frequently enough, many times when God releases a Plan of Action it doesn’t appear to be at the most convenient times and usually during seasons with less than ideal circumstances. In my experience, the Plan of Action seemed to come in the midst of the most arduous time which required me to operate at a level of blind faith and total dependency on Him (Proverbs 3:5, 6; Romans 1:17).
Why is it that we too often view God’s Strategies, Plans of Actions, or Instructions as optional? I believe it’s because during the maturation period of childhood, at times some of our parents gave us the impression that their instructions were optional. And we have carried this faulty paradigm into our fellowship with God thru Christ Jesus. However, regardless of what has been, a paradigm shift is in order!
Another reason I believe that we view God’s Strategies, Plans of Action, or Instructions as optional is because we allow the enemy to use our minds to rationalize us out of walking in first time obedience – immediately, completely, without murmuring or talking back. Most often the strategies do not appear to make much logical sense, if you will. Sometimes the strategies actually are very simple, and yet they become so difficult to follow due to the mental aerobatics we exercise. At other times, the divine strategies that are released to us go contrary to the way we think things should be done or opposite to how we have always operated. It is during those times that we must bring every thought or imagination that tries to elevate itself above what God has directed us into captivity to the obedience of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 10:3-6). And oh, watch out for those “what ifs” that subtly rise in our minds, causing us to question the Integrity of God’s Word and the validity of God’s Instruction, giving doubt permission to permeate our thought processes, preventing our progress, causing us to sit on the strategy that is given to lead us to a place of personal freedom and deliverance.
The speed in which you respond can greatly impact the
outcome of an opportunity.

As I write, I continue to reflect for inner peace at the numerous times God has released strategies, and regardless of how difficult they were to follow, something greater opened up to me because of my obedience. However, I must be honest with you…I have not always obeyed immediately, completely, without murmuring or talking back. Unfortunately, I’ve learned some painful lessons when I chose to ignore an instruction that was released through the mode of diction. Situations, afflictions, and at times seasons of personal destruction quickly woke me up to the Truth that God’s Strategies, Plans of Action, and Instructions are actually being released for my protection and for His Purposes to be released in the earth (Psalm 119:67, 71, 75; Jeremiah 31:18-19).
So my friend, make a commitment to quickly move in accordance with the Divine Strategy that has been released to you. Regardless of how simple or even how difficult the Divine Instructions might be to execute, there is something that hangs in the spiritual balance, some permanent eternal blessing waiting to be released that may not readily be apparent to you. Trust God that He sees something you can’t see. He desires for you to be prepared to conquer in ways you could never imagine without His Divine Proactive Prevention.
I release to you what God released to me back in 2005 when I was dragging my feet to follow a Divine Strategy…“The point is, obey now! Do it now!” Today, let’s remember that sitting in delay will cost us more than moving forward in faith on a Divine Strategy.
