This may require a 2nd reading. -- God will speak your future potential to your spirit before the track record of your past reflects any resemblance of your destined purpose. But God will never begin the fulfillment of that destiny until your past has proven faithful in preparing a foundation in your present which God can use to erect your future. Isaiah 46:10 "I make known the end from the beginning...". Many forfeit their predestined purpose by just waiting & not also preparing. James 2:18, I'll show you my faith by what I do. How you live/pray/think today is what Holy Ghost has available to work with tomorrow
