The steps nevertheless, can be experienced in any order. Sometimes you may even experience more than one step at a time. These steps will most definitely feel just like trials, but when you view them communally as a ladder reaching to a great promotion, you will start to view them more as required steps and not painful trials. The 14 Steps to Promotion Time Word Personality Incentive Servant Outback Misunderstanding Patience Disappointment Discouragement Warfare Self-Will Vision ObedienceTime represents the distance you go thru as you surpass and overcome these steps. Fortunately, though, we may only go through this whole process (all fourteen steps) a couple of times at most during our lives. Word may represent the Biblical Word or revelation you receive and study relating to your final destiny or guarantee you are reaching for. It could also be specific words given or spoken to you by others, whether as support or prophecy.

Character requires time to build and God will always promote somebody with a developed personality over someone with a weak character. this could be the last of the fourteen steps that person wishes to triumph over in their life. For others, character can be developed by experiencing a couple of years at a tough job or thru a situation in family life. Inducement is what drives us to persist. Without it, we give up or think we'll never reach our final guarantee. I think incentive comes in the middle of these 14 steps for most people, as it helps push us over the half-way mark and encourage us to keep going.

Servant represents the free time we give and volunteer to other causes, whether by helping a neighbor or serving in our church. I suspect servant follows close to character, as volunteering your time develops your heart and displays the true motives behind your needs in life. Outback is maybe one of the most uncomfortable steps to surpass, as we often experience just what the word says . This is most frequently a time when buddies appear to stray or move away, leaving you in a way on your own. Of course, even if you're on your own physically speaking, God is always there with you. Outback is most frequently the hardest step, but a necessary one that can bring you into a closer relationship with Him. Misunderstanding is necessary? Sometimes, yes. The misunderstanding we are facing in the fourteen steps is crucial as it is often a time when we think everything, including suffering, is all over! We then have a tendency to get too relaxed and start to curve off course.

Thankfully, when going thru these steps, misunderstanding will only lead you to learn from your mistakes and help you find your focus again. Patience is unquestionably something everyone needs to work on, but patience as a step is critical. It may mean the biggest difference between actually seeing all of your tough work come to pass vs your promise being delayed further.

If you know you're in a situation where you can't turn and run in any direction, then don’t try to. Instead, wait thru it with enduring patience until it passes. Disappointment is something we will all face. This step may follow closely with misunderstanding and patience, but as you work thru all 3, your character will strengthen seriously, and you will be better rigged to face the very next step or perhaps receive your promise (if frustration is the final step you go through). Discouragement could actually be coupled with any of these steps, as it is quite straightforward to stumble into.

In these steps, discouragement most often comes when we face something and don't see results right away. We may try again, but only to end up with similar results. It is generally for our benefit, though, as we may face discouragement to block us from going down the incorrect trails or facing needless obstacles later. Warfare is one of the most challenging steps we're going to face.

It customarily means religious warfare, but religious warfare frequently manifests into physical warfare, leading to challenges like abuse (physical or verbal), sickness, disease, etc . Truly the only real way to triumph over this is thru prayer and doggedness. Note : If a situation gets out of hand, please seek outside help in the correct form. Self-Will regularly comes toward the end of our 14 steps, when we notice how much we have already gone thru, and understand there's little to no reason to give up at this point. Self-will will help you push through the final obstacles the enemy throws at you, because you will be at a point of realization that you were intended for something bigger! Vision can imply your grasp on the focus of your promise, or it might be a dream or vision you received that proved you've a great promotion waiting. As a step, I think it is completed after you receive that dream, vision, or come to the admission that something great awaits you. Is God asking you to move? Or is he asking you to quit drinking or smoking? In the Bible, obedience almost always led on to promotion, so it is one of the greatest steps you will face.

But thru obedience, and by enduring these fourteen steps, God can pour out His blessings and release your guarantees to you.
