My Story… My Story…DisorientationAgitationDisengagementReengagement

Agitation Stage Frustration Frustration Burden or Concern Burden or Concern Confinement Confinement “You haven’t lost it, you’ve just outgrown it!” “Action must be taken!”

Thinking Old Doing Old Thinking New Doing Old Thinking New Doing New

Incubation Stage… Hearing from God! Presumption Emotional… - No word from God -The counsel of self. Self Effort Ego Driven Ill-considered Impulsive changes Driven by Agitation Faith Beyond Emotion.. - Scriptural reference point - Wise confidants Inspired Effort UTL! Well Considered Steady Application Prevailing Peace “Live by Faith, not by Sight”! (2 Cor. 5:7).

The challenge to Incubation… The reality is many of the things you ‘incubate’ will fail! The reality is many of the things you ‘incubate’ will fail! So develop both an implementation and exit strategy! So develop both an implementation and exit strategy! This is not planning for failure. Rather it is creating realistically a culture that is not risk averse. This is not planning for failure. Rather it is creating realistically a culture that is not risk averse. Trust for the Spirit‘s guidance in the context of human frailty. Trust for the Spirit‘s guidance in the context of human frailty.

Enactment Stage… Through the open door of opportunity. 1.Sharpen your edge… Decide what not to do. Put the ‘big rocks’ in place! Drill down. 2.Remain solution not problem orientated. …And have exit strategies in place. 3.Stay mission not maintenance focussed. 4.Watch the allurement of the old and safe. 5.Keep on keeping on…Stay the Course!

Determine to act Decisively… Creating the courage to decide. Ask God! James 1:5 If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help.

Trust God! James 1:6 Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves. Allow God! Proverbs 3:6 Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.

Relax and Keep Leaning! Isaiah 50:10 (Msg) For anyone out there who doesn't know where they're going, anyone groping in the dark, here's what: Trust in God. Lean on your God!

In the end, you’ve got to Step Out! “You’ll never, never know, if you never, never go ! Matthew 14:27-29 Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
