Dealing with the spirit of procrastination

Procrastination is keeping for tomorrow what God wants you to do today. It is one of the most subtle yet dangerous barriers to spiritual growth. Though it may seem harmless, delaying what God asks of us today can cause us to miss critical moments of breakthrough. Many have fallen victim to this spirit, missing divine timings and opportunities that could have radically transformed their lives.

There is an urgency required to respond to God's instructions, which grants access to the deep things of the Spirit. John did not delay when the invitation was made. He immediately aligned himself with the Spirit’s frequency, without allowing procrastination to interfere.

Revelation 4: “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ‘Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.’ Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.”

As soon as John responded to the call of the Spirit, he found that everything was already set for him to embark on a spiritual journey with the Lord. Now, imagine what would have happened if John had waited even a week before responding to this urgent call. What if he had not overcome the filthy spirit of procrastination?

How do you deal with the spirit of procrastination and gain mastery and victory in accomplishing the purpose of God for your life, especially in studying the Word?

Listen to this message, and allow your spirit to be stirred up to confront and cast off the spirit that has tried to delay your engagement with the unchanging power of God's living Word.
