@ryankanerWX Just wanted to see some big storms this morning and the weather pattern didn’t come through…yet. Storms seemed to go north. That’s all

Capacity versus Capability

Some people mistake capability with capacity. Let’s say, for instance, that you own a factory that builds great widgets. You go out and hire three more, super-salespeople and suddenly you have so many orders that you can’t possibly fill them all. Consequently, you overpromise and underperform which, destroys your relationships with your customers because it breaks trust. Ultimately, you go broke.

The more talented you are, the greater the risk that you’ll crash and burn, because you have a ton of capability, but it takes time to build capacity. Whenever you get bigger on the outside, then you are on the inside; you will eventually fail.

Justin Bieber said recently that he was dealing with imposter syndrome. This is one of the greatest risks of the social media era. You can quickly become so famous for what you do, without building capacity in your personhood. You begin to fear that people will discover the frailty of your humanity because of the elusive persona of your gift.

But God protects those He promotes but self promotion always leaves you uncovered and unprotected.

@BobSorge It’s possible

@FredScanner Feels like an overstep with FCHD.

[Kris Vallotton @kvministries]

Probably the most important question a leader needs to answer is, how clearly do you hear God? You only get to pull the God card a couple of times before your team stops trusting your relationship with the Lord. In other words, if you say to the team, “I had a dream last night and the Lord spoke to me about taking the hill!” Then, consequently, you are unable to take the hill; soon your team stops trusting that you hear from the Lord, and they will become weary of your “prophetic declarations. I have written several books on hearing the voice of God, so the subject is vast, but let me give you 6- things I have learned about prophetically directing a team.

1- Hear God with the team, not just for the team. In other words, seek the Lord together for prophetic words with your leadership team .

2- Look for patterns of prophetic confirmation, in the principle of agreement. Jesus demonstrated this when he proclaimed, “…if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 18:19) I understand that the subject here is not prophecy, but the principle is still relevant. Thus, if a few trusted leaders are getting the same thing from the Lord, then I would put more weight in that plan and direction.

3- Develop a culture of fallibility by judging and testing prophetic words, dreams and promptings etc. The Apostle Paul instructed us to, “Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.” (1Corinthians 14:29) Nobody on the team should be viewed, honored or treated as if they are infallible in their ability to discern the word of the Lord. Everyone, no matter how experienced or insightful, they are, is fallible!

4- When the steaks are high, bring in other trusted, accurate prophetic voices from outside your organization, who have no conflict of interest; and seek their prophetic insight into your situation. I prefer, that you don’t tell them anything about your situation, so they aren’t tempted to be swayed by the team’s perception or the circumstances of your business.

5- The greater the risk the clearer the prophetic words need to be. Be wise in the timing of the implementation of strategic, prophetic plan. James said it best, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. (James 1:5-8) It’s important that once you come to an agree, that you move forward in faith, and not allow doubt to derail your confidence when resistance or complications arise. The truth is, every great endeavor will be met with resistance by some, and also complications, difficulties, and obstacles. Yet, you need wisdom as well as prophetic direction to fulfill your divine assignment.

6- Do an excellent job communicating with those who are being led by the team, of the prophetic direction that’s been embraced by the leadership. Take them through your prophetic journey so that they can understand your confidence in the direction you have chosen. Let them process with you; sharing their concerns, fears and confirmations, so that they also have buy in. It’s important that they feel heard, and valued even if they are not fully on-board. Encourage those who are struggling with the direction the team is committed too, to seek the Lord for themselves, and get back to you.

@kvministries Yes

[Justin Thomas @pjluke515]

@shawnbolz Amen, I need this.

[Kris Vallotton @kvministries]

The greater the mission is the clearer the vision must be; because huge assignments most often require high levels of sacrifice and/or risk to see them fulfilled. The level of sacrifice an environment requires determines the measure of clarity necessary for people to follow. When a leader lacks the skill of impartation, sacrifice begins to separate the people who can instinctive envision from those who can’t. Remember it is vision that causes people to restrain their options, (which requires sacrifice), so they can apprehend the assignment.
