Gods Destiny For My Life Revealed!!!

(Wichita Falls, TX, USA)
The Late Selena and I
Ok, so much to say and don't know where to begin. I've believed that Jesus Christ is my lord and savior since I was old enough to comprehend the concept (5 yrs old). I'm 30 now.
I started attending a local college to become a registered nurse in 2006. I took on this task half heartedly not knowing if it was what I really wanted to do. Well, around march of 2009 my dad who is a preacher by the way, got me interested in the stock market with stories of how his buddies were making good money. Yeah yeah, I thought but then said to myself what the heck. So I opened up an ETRADE account with $15,000. This was everything I had. It was GREED driven. Anyway, I lost most of it because I had no clue what I was doing even though I did actually get lucky a couple of times. Even though I lost a lot of money I was captivated by it. I thought if I could figure this thing out that it would be the most incredible job in the world (NO BOSS - I call the shots).
So I've started studying on how to get this thing up & running and have joined a chat room with professional traders that teach you how to day trade momentum stocks. A couple of months ago I just started getting the feeling that God had been setting me up for this the whole time. About the same time I re-dedicated my life to him. So I've been listening to Creflo Dollar like crazy and have been learning a lot from him and building my faith.
So like I said I was getting this feeling that I was being set up divinely. A couple of weeks ago I felt like I was going to explode if I didn't open up my mouth and ask the Father in Jesus name what I was supposed to do. Go to school which I absolutely didn't want or continue learning to trade the stock market? Lot of crying going on in this 20 minute prayer which is pretty good for a newbie to prayer. No filler in this prayer - straight and to the point telling him that I have BIG FAITH and I know according to scripture that he wants what’s best for me and that he wants to give me the desires of my heart. Remember how I said it was GREED driven before, well now it's to serve him and do what he wants me to do with the money I make. In fact any money I make is his and I made that declaration to him amongst many other things.
Anyway, by faith I knew I would get an answer. A few hours later while looking at stock charts I had this thought with my voice in my own head saying "THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO". I thought whatever, that’s just me wishing in my own head that god told me to do this. Literally 5 seconds later I felt the Holly Spirit brush up against my spirit and WOA!!! I new I had received my answer. He spent some time with me and was just there. Telling my spirit how much he loves me and I was just looking at all these stock charts crying the whole time. He was also speaking to my spirit saying "Look - See what I've set up for you. It was the most pure love I've ever experienced. No person can give you that amount of love - it's unparalleled. This went on for about 45 min and I had to go to bed so I called that session quits.
I am blessed beyond belief! My grandfather is a multi-millionaire TEXAS oil man who I'm heir to. My other grandfather retired as CEO of one of the biggest oil companies in the U.S. and now with all of that god wants me to learn the stock market - WOW! You can make as much money as you want - really.
My father told me that it was prophesied over my life at the age of 5 that I was to be a mover and a shaker and that I have an extremely giving spirit (which I'm highly aware of). I just found that out too WOW!
Here's the thing. I have this lazy spirit on me right now and I'm still highly interested in learning all of this stuff but I can't seem to get the momentum rolling. I procrastinate like crazy. Up until about 6 weeks ago I would spend 8 hrs a day looking at stocks in amazement and now it's almost like "well god told me that it's going to happen so I'll get to it whenever" But also I've seem to lost my drive but at the same time I REALLY WANT THIS.
Also what scriptures can I use for wisdom (I'm sure if I dig around your site I'll find them) I want god to show me the ins & outs of this thing and have the ability to pick it up quick while others are still struggling with it. Does it work like that?
Anyway, I don't think that it's an accident that I found your site. I can tell by reading some of your writings that you are blessed, anointed, and that the Holly Spirit lives inside you. Plus there's just something about your picture that says you love and want to help your fellow Christians.
Sorry if this was long winded but I just wanted to tell someone about all of this.
I would be very thankful if you could please impart some of your wisdom to me.
Thank You Very Much,
CHANCE HARRISON

Hello Chance!
Thanks for the photo.
I have read your journal again and I have greater clarity.
I will put your questions first and then my answers.
1. Here's the thing. I have this lazy spirit on me right now and I'm still highly interested in learning all of this stuff but I can't seem to get the momentum rolling. I procrastinate like crazy. Up until about 6 weeks ago I would spend 8 hrs a day looking at stocks in amazement and now it's almost like "well god told me that it's going to happen so I'll get to it whenever" But also I've seem to lost my drive but at the same time I REALLY WANT THIS.
Answer: God does not want you to rush into His will for your life. He is slowing you down in order for you to keep Him at the center of your work. Remain prayerful. If you believe it is God’s will for you to be a “King” rather than a “Priest” let Him guide you in that direction and remain centered upon the Word, taking the lead of the Holy Spirit to keep money from becoming the core of your existence. If this happens, you will lose God’s purpose and direction for your life.
WAIT UPON GOD IN PRAYER AND THANKFULNESS. He will give you each step to take and sometimes a glimpse of what is to come. Be thankful, but don’t move beyond the steps given you for the present.
2. Also what scriptures can I use for wisdom
Answer: Deuteronomy 28: 1-13. This is the promise of Abraham and your inheritance in Christ as stated in Galatians. Read over and over and personalize. The condition of God’s inheritance is to live by His Word (follow Jesus). This is God’s wealth plan, and as you work it you will be drawn nearer to Him with greater vision of your calling.
You can also read and meditate over the prayers Paul prayed for wisdom and knowledge of His calling in Ephesians 1:16-23 & 3:14-20.
3. I want god to show me the ins & outs of this thing and have the ability to pick it up quick while others are still struggling with it. Does it work like that?
Always want more for others than for yourself. Don’t be concerned about what God does for anyone else, just want the best for others and believe the best for yourself. Believe that as God blesses you, you will be a greater blessing to others. Also you can ask God for greater wisdom and knowledge (refer to the Ephesian prayers). Thank Him and take them by faith.
Thank you again for your submission. Stay close with God and keep your eyes upon Jesus.
Many blessings,
Margaret
