Get Back to the Vision

Most mornings I embrace the presence of the Lord in a dark room about 3am. While in this place I begin to see things from a higher perspective. It's a place to dream big without restriction. I can go back into places and scenes I have seen before and continue to create and expand what vision I saw before. What I see is so clear its imbedded in my spirit in such away I can see it throughout the day. The morning ritual gives me the place to envision my future. 

Several weeks ago I discerned I had lost the clarity of vision. It was like I lost my equilibrium for life. A tad stressed and weary I questioned my condition. I summoned Holy Spirit for help. He spoke and said "go back to the visions and live from there". There is something very powerful about framing up your future and being very diligent to live from that distinct place.

Solomon writes "where there is no vision people perish or cast off restraint". When we lose that prophetic future leading knowing we come into a stall, no life, no passion, no occupancy. We are all vulnerable to find ourselves away from vision. Life will pull you and I in every direction. People will press in and demand of us. The enemy seems to act relentless towards distraction. 

Go back and visit the journals written about you, read and listen to the words spoken about you, recalibrate, tune back up, get your passion back, let the fire come back to your eyes.

Rusty Doors and Fairy Tales

Tate

Many times my most difficult time to process things I face feels like trying to open a rusty door. When I was young I learned from my environment to avoid tough places. We all want to take the easy road because it's comfortable, its known, it's acceptable socially. However to step outside the boundaries of what you have always known also open doors to dilemmas. When we step outside the norm it impunes others sedate lifestyles. Breakthrough usually is from something breaking. A habit, a way of thinking, how religion framed your thought life, deconstruction of old values to take on new ways to think and live. 

So often I have felt like many friends have disappeared socially when I step out of the norm to go big. Comments like "too many irons in the fire", "be very careful" etc... They seem to not want to be too close "when I go down or fail". However they cheer me on when they see success. There is a hardship to breaking patterns in our lifestyle. At 59 for instance my wife and i took on a 26 day detox program. The first week was awful. The food required to be consumed tasted toxic. Breaking old habits is hard, but necessary in order to see good results. 

I stumbled upon a storage room full of junk. I looked at it over and over again to develop a "what if vision" on how would this room look if it was reframed, repurposed into a thriving art studio. Pushing this rusty door of opportunity open required many hours of dedication, cleaning, emptying, deconstructing to get it to what I saw. Many challenges, many misunderstandings and many disappointments. It would have been a hell of a lot easier to just dream about it than to actually push my way through to a new future. 

The fairy tale part... A fairy tale is fiction, its fantasy, its for lore. It's is the way we see life until we push through the obstacles. A few months ago i published an article on the "art of push". Even the article offended some...

When your eyes get full of vision, your life gets full of passion you begin to walk on a super highway. Sleep is over rated, comfort zones become optional. Fear becomes a vanquished foe.  Unfortunately and that's a fricken big unfortunately at your express pace you walk among the "slow ones" let's call them "slows" for short. Have you been on an escalator or a people mover where people want to just ride like they are on a daycation! Your frantic voice in the inside is Dear God would your people just move! It is more fun to run on a people mover watching the walkers. It's like two different worlds. 

Our cultures traffic is myopic or narrow fixed in the temporary, where vision is only on today never tomorrow much less future. Apathy, laziness, and a boat load of complacency or the slow ones as I call it liter the path to success. So to the visionary who tries to function among the slows it's like "quick sand". Here is where the "art of push" comes in. Grace is good to a point, but after no returned phone calls or texts sometimes you need to pull out the "art of push".

Here is my prescription the visionary on the express lane of breakthrough. Apply grace toward people as you move forward, (excuse me sir/ mam I'm coming through) however as I am learning is most of the "slows" hate change because they have bitten the apple of personal comfort. "Slows" like to accuse there slowness on the altar of "I was busy". They like to form opinions about you in their secret groups like "I think that guy is crazy" or "something's gotten into him lately".

Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art, writes:

“Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.” Highly creative people wake up every morning, fully aware of the need to grow and push themselves. But there is always the fear, resistance as Pressfield calls it, that they don’t have what it takes. No matter how successful the person, that fear never goes away. They simply learn to deal with it, or not.

Here is where you now apply the "art of push". Will they get offended heck yes they do! I have offended more people in the last 60 days than all of last year, so I push all the more. Nothing great was ever accomplished on the back side of lazy town. No rusty door of destiny was ever opened without some level of exertion. I doubt not one powerful invention ever came to be without the art of push. So visionary arm your self with a bucket of grace, throw caution to the wind and push till your vision becomes reality.

Cheers,

Tate

Creative People They feel deeply.

Creativity is about human expression and communicating deeply. It’s impossible to give what you don’t have, and you can only take someone as far as you have gone yourself. A writer once told me that an artist must scream at the page if they want a whisper to be heard. In the same way, a creative person must feel deep if they are to communicate deeply.

transformed people transform cities...

We are in an apostolic season... most church goers are not aware of it! Most still function on a pure horizontal level, not aware of seeing and hearing from heaven. Jesus told leaders of his day on earth "you don't enter into the Kingdom of Heaven and worse yet you prev ent others from entering. We have preachers, teachers, and leaders who dont practice vertical relationship with heaven. Word smiths craft inspiring mesasage from the best of their intellect without a consideration of heavens impact.

We are called to get heavens perspective and appropriate what we have seen and heard in the earth. Everything we need I'd beyond our natural sight. Our healing, our wealth our inheritance, even our ability to make wealth.

I hear or see my future and the future of others. I rarely get all the steps. I find in my journey that much I'd hidden until I go forward and take the next step. What I used to fear i no longer fear. You get used to trusting God by what He reveals as you walk. Knowledge is released as i walk by faith in what I have seen and heard.

Heaven places powerful abilities upon our life to walk out what we have seen and heard. Super natural wisdom drops into our hearts like strategies beyond human intellect. Daniel had an ability to interpret a kings dream, the byproduct of that was he was promoted and given great wealth because of his accuracy.  Seer ability to see into the future to navigate around potential hazards and to give confidence in our journey. Supernatural favor drops on our life, doors open, gifts are granted, wealth comes after us.

Transformed people transform cities. Heaven isn't bankrupt, heaven is full of ideas, witty inventions and solutions to every problem. We must live from above!

The word says the wealth of the unrighteousn is stored up for the righteous for righteous purposes. It also says the He give the power to get wealth to prove He is a covenant keeping God.

Kingdom Focus

Spiritual concentrations are to prepare us to be expectant and impregnated with revelation seed from above, so we can give birth and enforce what we have heard and seen in the earth. We are the ecclesia a governing people in the earth, a parliamentary body of people. It's a non religious body. It's not flesh and blood theatrics, but it's "spirit" activity. The church structure is primarily "flesh and blood" operation incapable of manifesting Heaven on earth". It's a horizontal structure. Spirit is a vertical structure.

Confessions of a Glory Dweller

Dreamers Confessions of a Glory Dweller

Notes on the mystic life...

I was once called a "mystic believer" by a pastor. His way of saying I did not fit in to the modern church culture. He was right! I am a mystic believer.

The prophetic arena is a powerful arena by where we decree what we hear from God. The mystic arena is more powerful where we have experiences out of the glory realm, out of the heavenly realm and release mysteries and treasures in the earth. 

I was taken to heaven a few weeks ago to a chamber full of artistic anointing. One after another deposits of artistic creativity were deposited in me. I was not having a dream nor a vision. It was real. Results are in, my creative level has enlarged dramatically. The glory realm dependence and relationship with regard to creating works of art is even more precious and powerful.

The mystic arena is one where we journey beyond the visible to what is invisible. What is seen is temporal, what is unseen it eternal. We are admonished by the word to not look at the seen, but the unseen. This is a mystical seeing. 

Paul says "What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared made and keeps ready for those who love Him"... 

Your inheritance is just beyond your natural sight. 

Your future is just beyond your natural sight. 

Your healing is just beyond your natural sight. 

Your wealth is just beyond your natural sight. 

One of the definitions of mystic is to have a sense of awe and wonder. 

When heaven interacts with you you will have a sense of awe and wonder. 

Religion will keep you grounded on things that are safe and tangible. 

The mystic realm will transform, transfigure beyond what's tangible. God is called the the God of power performing signs, wonders and miracles. This is the true mystical relationship.

A famous prayer often quoted, rarely realized is "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."  Sit in then Glory of His  presence and say "bring it God, I want your Kingdom to manifest in and through me. And "wait for it, wait for it, wait for it"... Stay awhile, waste an hour in the glory, 

Paul says "And a sense of awe reverential fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were performed through the apostles the special messengers."

The glory realm to me is my gateway into the mystic realm of God. If I go there with expectation, with passion, with regularity I will see and experience beyond my wildest dreams, highest prayers and strongest hopes. 

We must embrace the mystic realm of God and it's lifestyle. When you begin to see the manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven you will be caught up in a sense of "awe and wonder".
