Stay open to Gods' plan whether you understand it or not. God speaks things that do not appear to the natural eye into existence. Forget about where you have been. Think about where you are. You may not see how God is going to accomplish what He said He will accomplish in your life. You may not see yourself the way God sees you. Just know that He is smarter than you and what He has spoken will come to pass. Don't be a doubting Thomas negating the prophecy with negative words and attitude. Cooperate with the Lord for the fulfilling of His plans for you.

Consider timing. God creates a hunger in you before He brings into the natural what He has planned for you. You will often sense a holy dissatisfaction with the way things are as a prelude to Him bringing about change. Many misinterpret this God given dissatisfaction and blame it on the people and circumstances around them. Marriages even break up because people think "I am just not happy". Don't waste your restlessness. Seek God for what He is doing in the spirit realm and for what He is preparing you for.

a. There are two types of timing mentioned in the bible. They are chronos and kairos.

i. Chronos- refers to a space of time whether long or short; it is where we get the word chronological, the timing and existence that we are familiar with.
ii. Kairos- a fixed or definite period, sometimes an opportune or seasonal time, a season, a time, a period possessed if certain characteristics.

Chronos marks quantity, kairos marks quality. Broadly speaking chronos expresses the duration of a period, kairos expresses it as marked by certain features, thus in Acts 1:7 " the Father has set within His own authority both the times (chronos-length of the periods) and the seasons (kairos-epochs which means a period of time characterized by certain (stiking) events)".

Of reaping and sowing Gal 6:9 reads "at the proper time (kairos) we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" NIV
The Message translates it as "at the right time"

b. Always be aware that God speaks the end of a matte, the destiny. Then He brings you back to the beginning to start the journey. Don't become impatient. God will never take you straight from step 1 to step 10. It is a process. Some prophetic words are given three, five, ten even twenty five years in advance. What is important is that you recognize the road you are on and ask Holy Spirit to help you stay on the right one. God has promised us that He would show us the best pathway for our lives.

Pay attention to any conditions that may be included in your word. Things such as if you obey my word, or as you spend more time in prayer or while you soak in my presence. Endeavor to do those if's, as's and while's that may be conditions for the fulfillment of the word of prophecy over your life.

Don't just hear, listen. Something as simple as having the wrong mindset when you hear a word can throw you off. If we have a preconceived notion of what we think a statement means it will taint its true meaning.
