Pivot: Time for Change Sample

Step 2: Imagining

The second step to PIVOT with purpose is imagining with the Lord. God created us to be creative. He is the one who gave us our imaginations and wants us to use them.

To understand God's plan, you must spend time imagining with the Lord. No dream is too big or impossible for the Lord.

Warning: when we start dreaming big with God, the enemy may try to stop us with fear and anxiety. You may even find yourself angry at God because:

• The dream makes you uncomfortable.
• You don’t feel qualified.
• It will require more time, money, experience, or education than you have.
• You can’t see the whole plan, so you’re getting anxious.
• You are downright scared because the dreams God has given you are so impossibly big.

This is normal. Don’t let the enemy throw you off. When you keep dreaming, God reveals the plan, often step by step. He will tell you which way to turn. He also put inside you all of the gifts, imaginings, and qualities you will need to walk out his plan.

Ephesians 2:10 says, For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. See? God designed all the assignments, the changes, and the pivots you are supposed to do long before you were born.

You have to be brave enough to imagine and then chase the dream.

Prayer: God, you are a creative genius—I want to be more like you! You gave me the imagination to help me see with my faith eyes when you call me out into the deep. Make me bold as I use this imagination you’ve gifted me with, and keep fear at bay so I may walk out the assignment you have for me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
