Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.  Proverbs 15.22

The Creator gave us the capacity of executing projects. Before the fall, whatever we planned would have happened. Today, without the help of Jesus, all our plans are in vain. We need to receive the revelations of the Word so that we might not have any lack of resources in order to conclude what we have planned. There are many people that have been a laughing stock for starting something that they cannot finish.

The Most High, beautifully inspired, planned to create man at His image and likeness. Being so, we are already born with the capacity of dreaming and projecting what we feel is good for us. God made us just like Him. However, after Adam and Eve sinned we lost this position. But with the coming of Jesus, what we had lost was restored to us in double. Therefore, if we use His Name, whatever we determine shall be done to us.

Before the fall, there were no obstacles for our determinations to be attended. After the Lord had made man, and all other things, He saw that it was all good (Gn 1.31). Then, He made man sovereign over all the things He had created. Today, since there is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ (Rm 8.1), we do not have to falter when an attack from hell comes, but only to determine that it should be undone.

Since Jesus resurrected by the direction of the Lord, we can vindicate whatever we want in His Name, and it will be done (Jo 14.13). Today, the enemy cannot hinder us from obtaining what the Lord declared that belongs to us. Also, God does not hinder us from taking possession of what He declares that is ours.

However, without the help of faith in Jesus, which comes when we listen to the Word of God (Rm 10.17), our projects will be unfruitful. Anyhow, having received the faith that comes from hearing the Lord, we can and should take hold of what is revealed to us. Those who know their rights and claim them are always successful. Jesus and His disciples behaved in such a way, and their authority was never questioned.

Fix well this orientation from Christ: without Me you can do nothing (Jo 15.5). Without the revelations of the Word – from the Lord Jesus –, there is no way for your purposes to be executed. Without the help of the Master, they will be like clouds without water, like children chatting. However, if you understand what God tells you, you will have the means to conclude what was planned. Once the Lord has spoken, determine and receive your blessing.

Many people that start a mission and are not able to finish it have been mocked. The Savior warned us concerning this fact. According to Him, before starting to make a project, one must sit down first and see if he has the resources, knowing the information from the Word in order to see the blessing that he needs coming true (Lk 14:28). The Most High does not want anything to be unfinished.

In Christ, with love,
