Talking that Exceeds the Walking

Speaking Excitement into your Upward Call brings you closer to God and your vision which fills your life with such vivid colour even you will be blinded by it.

God’s talk can sometimes be in black and white for us because our eyes are not opened to see it in action. As we work our way into believing His words to us, colour begins to appear. The same can be true of our own talk, helping us walk our way into believing in our own Upward Call of God.

According to Ephesians 1:18-19 the eyes of our heart need to be opened, which means we have to hear the truth to have our eyes opened into the living colour of it. And if you are anything like me, you need to hear it more than once before the colour appears.

None to Some

My first experience with unbelief intimidated me. I was a new Christian with a fresh, although colourless vision for my future. I spoke it to hearts that were not opened to hear it.

I was to intimidated to talk about it, and began to think I was not worthy of it. Of course, I already thought I wasn’t worthy, so this was just more confirmation that I am a chump rather than a champion. I was lifeless and colourless.

This colourful vision needed a champion, therefore I was not God’s gal.

Some to More

The Lord kept leading me into it, and I kept following. I still believed myself to be lifeless and colourless but He was teaching me to be less of a chump. He gave me more confidence to talk about my vision in colour and that met with more resistance that I could actually handle.

I was beginning to rest in His plan for me. I also became more confident in my Upward Call of God, and the Visionary Ministry given to me by God, because He was putting a deeper array of colours into my heart for it.

I was still selective about who I painted the picture for.

More is Better

My chumpish ways were still looming over me even as colour enters the picture. I would speak of my Vision from God but still kept the life giving vivid information back. People would say, “We need this Vision of yours.” in one breath and with another say, “BUT go take it somewhere else.”

Chump Kathleen would shut her mouth, even when life giving,colourful Kathleen was longing to reveal herself. Finally, after many colourful conversations, Champion Kathleen won and put her chumpish ways aside. She began speaking about her Vision from God as the Lord added more colourful life to it.

The more I talked the better I got at talking about my Upward Call of God.

Better for All

I was becoming the champion of my colourful cause even though it still wasn’t in full colour but chump Kathleen was still waiting in the wings to take advantage of any confusion.

Colour was constantly coming into the black and white of my Upward Call because the more I talked about my vision the clearer it became. The clearer it became the more excited I became about it. The more excited I got, the better it was for all.

I was talking about my Upward Call of God as it grew more colourfully into my Visionary Ministry.

All of us are called by God to be steadfast verbalizing our Upward Call of God. The more we talk about it the more articulate we become about it. We will recognize the Lord’s hand in it and it will open the eyes of our heart to bring it forth in living colour.

Silence is not golden when it comes to your Upward Call of God. Silence is golden when it comes to how intimidated you feel when you talk about it. Talking about it, before it happens, will always exceed your walk in it.

God’s talk exceeds your walk. Why shouldn’t yours?
