God, when He was asked His name answered, "I am." He did not say that He was "I will be" or "I was". We can still expect to find God there. Many of us spend all our time living in the the past or the future yet expect to connect to the anointing and be blessed. I believe that to have a full connection with the Spirit of God we must dwell in the now. It is so easy to live in the past or live in the prophecies of the future and miss what God has for us now.
I have come to believe acknowledging who God made us to be is crucial to our long term fulfillment and development. I have been quietly allowing the words of Ken Gire to soak through me from the book Windows of the Soul. This has proved life changing in enabling me to look back over my life. That does not mean I chose to dwell in the past, but I acknowledge my experiences and their possible significance for my present. The Chapter on the Window of Vocation helped me identify and acknowledge talents, giftings and desires that I have never seen in that light.
This has brought implications on how I now choose to live today. I used to be waiting for the fulfilment of the prophecies over my life to come into being. By doing that I actually denied the power of living for now because I was always waiting for something more or different. I now choose to live in the now...the phophecies can look after themselves. I choose to live in this moment. It is all I have and I am the better for it.
