"You can stop looking for the blueprint, you are the blueprint."

I shared this in a message at the beginning of last year (God says GO, WATCH clip) that came from Business and Books LLC's Initiative and few of my books, popular mention HERE. The

Father's point was to encourage His KINGdompreneurs in the plans of God. Those plans vary depending on the individual. You can be the blueprint in your family for Salvation, a community unifier, for an event, speech, ministry, book, idea, as a teacher, or business. There are many blueprints before us, currently, and to come. I've shared in the HERspace Blog before one of my favorite words is NEW. Per Webster, new means not existing before. God is the Creator. He often gives plans, ideas, and instructions for new things. People get excited about new developments, but they're not always commenced or seen to fruition. But why? Insecurity, procrastination, fear of failure, not being able to handle obscurity, just not doing it, or wavering Faith during unseen times are some common reasons once the process of being #1 commences. Dr. Seuss is famously quoted, to be #1 you have to be odd. The process of developing the blueprint for innovative productions is not for the faint. Recently, the Lord has been highlighting the word blueprint to me again. A woman of God mentioned this quote earlier this week, and it affirmed to me again what God is saying. Although the time is now for many God promises, ventures, and ideas to come forward -- it takes great Faith. This blog is for those who have the mandate to do what's never been done.

Three Factors in Navigating the Blueprint as #1

1. You have to learn to navigate the unseen. I shared in the first HERspace Blog of the year, Shut Out (HERE -- booking coming soon: ), many promises will be completed in 2022, but Faith is a requirement. In studying Faith last week, a common theme is unseen. Now, Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of what is not seen (Hebrews 11:1). God specializes in the unseen. For instance, He is not seen by man's natural eye, yet those that "know" Him know He is always present. The Father reveals His plans to us via His words, and it is unseen to the natural eye, but we have Faith to know it will come to pass. Simply, because He said it. I wrote the chapter in the book "Properly Id'd" ~ When are God's Words Enough? Transparently, like other areas I have before the Lord, although I scribed this chapter, I endeavor to let His words settle His will in me. I shared during the Shut-Out, God's words are the manifestation. The natural has to catch up.

Most of us have a vehicle or have ridden in one; no one questions the unseen when riding. We trust everything is operating in a way necessary to bring us to our destination. The Father desires us to navigate "the unseen" part of the blueprint process the same way.

My grandfather owned a construction company, he worked with land surveyors, architects, and builders regularly. In observing the building process, I distinctly recall one of the longest parts was drawing the blueprint and preparing the land's sustainment of what's being built. I will not bore you with the detailed process, but there are many components. This is often the reason why land seemingly sits barren for so long; it's due to the unseen blueprint stage.

If you are in a stage of this process where you are not seen -- by family/friends or people generally, rest. God is building something in, on, and around you. At the appointed time, it will speak for all to see.

2. Obscurity is commonplace. If God has anointed you to be first, expect obscurity. This is the quality of being difficult to understand. As a word of encouragement, it does not last always. Also, you're in good company. Study Noah with the ark read about Walt Disney, other innovators like Maya Angelou, the Biblical account of Joshua & the Promised Land, and Jesus.

Not being understood is a part of the blueprint (at times).

How do you overcome and garner the support needed to complete?

Resting in God.

I am a planner and a checklist type of person on a regular but one area I'm learning in the fight for Faith is rest is essential. Rest is not inactivity.

• It is fighting forward with contentment in God.

• It is ceasing of opposing mental delineation and replacing it with God facts i.e. scripture.

• It is resting in what God has said.

• It is resting in who He has chosen you to be.

#REST

3. The Fight. Have you ever wondered why MANY are called, but a FEW are chosen? This verse comes out of Matthew 22:14 when Jesus gave the parable of the wedding feast as it relates to people's entrance to Heaven. One characteristic of the Lord is He is not a respecter of persons.

So, why do many hear God's call of Salvation or earthly mandates, but only a few are chosen?

In my study, it boils down to the fight for Faith.

The Father has made His call to many of us to be developers, builders, and completers of His blueprint. However, it comes with tests, fights, unseen, obscurity, and TIME (& you likely will not get the length of the duration beforehand). In other words, you will have to learn to fight for Faith (1 Timothy 6:12).

We fight the good fight of Faith that Paul shares by holding steadfast to our relationship with Jesus Christ.

As you fight, remember you are chosen. Being God's chosen comes with something (Luke 12:48).

A. You no longer represent yourself. Go before Him (in prayer) with every movement.

B. If He instructs you to speak, say only what God says.

C. Stamina, wisdom, and God's grace are needed to endure to the end -- ask Him for it. Matthew 7:7-8 emphasizes consistency. Keep asking and it will be given... God wants you (us) to win. Focus on the winning way through Him.

D. You have been chosen to endure. Whatever comes, there's strength & strategy to endure.

E. Finally, be diligent and excellent in your time, talent, treasure, and work, it will set you before Kings (Proverbs 22:29).

In closing, I heard MVP Kamala Harris share her mother's words to her,

"Kamala you will have many first, but make sure she is never the last."

Being the blueprint is an open door opportunity, not only for you but others.

As you are operating in the open door capacity, ask God for the end in the beginning. How can you set others up to continue what you were called to begin, and they continue until the day of Jesus Christ?

I heard Joel Osteen share last Sunday: God is the keeper of the open door. He is opening up ancient doors due to our consistency in Faith. Ancient in this context meant past promises. Pastor Joel has been transparent about his fight for Faith in assuming the shoes of his dad who also had the anointing to do what was unprecedented for his time. His son could not imagine exceeding what his dad did in the Kingdom. However, when Pastor Joel switched His focus to the Father and focused on what he was chosen to do (not his dad), which is to encourage people through the word of God, we know the results. Many doors open not only for Him but the Kingdom to do many things that had/have never been done.

In serving as the blueprint, remember to keep the focus on the Father. Leave the door open for those "assigned" to follow. Do not be intimidated by others who walk in a similar anointing ("MANY" do). Your goal is to navigate the unseen, don't allow a time of obscurity to define you, and fight the good fight of Faith by taking all limits off of God's blueprint for your life.

I would love to hear your testimonies below on being the blueprint in whatever area, let's motivate each other in this innovative process.

"You can stop looking for the blueprint, you are the blueprint."
