"So Joshua said to the Israelites: "How long will you WAIT before you begin to take the possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?"
Joshua 18:3

Let me ask you a question....

What exactly IS Procrastination?

It is the NATION of delay, that we many times live in, and operate our actions in.
It is the CRASS putting off what needs to be taken on.
It is PRO for Not Starting, and against finishing.
It is the Art of Hesitation practiced.
It is the START that STOPS most people.

Those will give you an idea...it is delay, putting off of things, not finishing what you started, and not even start what you said you would.

Glory Secret:

Procrastination is a stronghold of the evil one. Plain and simple.

You may not believe it, but it is....and a tool that he uses to keep us from doing the actions that God has put in our hearts, and will help create our Success.

Why is this such a tool for the evil one? Why do so many people suffer from this?

Simple...

The evil one will do all he can to get us to procrastinate, as it causes a delay in us giving God Glory, and it allows the evil one to control us in a way we are not aware of.

Understand this;

God is a God of Starting, and Finishing. And there is no exception to that.

If we are going to become more Christlike, and let our Success mirror the Glory back to Him, then we need to be aware that everytime we delay in doing what we know we need to do, we are being manipulated like a puppet by the evil one with his strings of Killing, Stealing, and Destroying our Success.

There are Seven things that can cause Procrastination. There are more than this, but we will list only 7:

1) "Perfectionism"
2) "Overwhelm"
3) "Imagination"
4) " Fear"
5) " Habit"
6) "Over Analyzing"
7) "Focusing on you being in control, instead of God".

Do you see any of these in you? Or anyone you know?

All of these are part of what catalyzes delay, and in doing so, causes a delay in giving God the Glory for the Success He wants for our lives.

Glory Secret:

Anytime "I" try to RUN my life instead of God, then you placing the letter "I" in the word RUN, and you end up with the word RUIN.

The evil one wants to RUIN your future and Success by you focusing on YOU running things and getting things done, versus God!

The word "DELAY" stands for:

"Demonically Empowered Lasso Around You".

"The cords of death entangle me, the torrents of destruction overwhelm me" Psalms 18:4

Do you have a Lasso of delay pulling you away from waht you need to get done?

Glory Secret:

The evil one's Lasso is the beginnings of a NOOSE!

How do you breakthrough this and conquer Procrastination?
