Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
We need to get ”God vision” because our sight is very limited!
Many years ago, we sat in our living room and cried out to God in prayer. We were at a turning point in our lives, and God had prepared us to do something. But we were not sure exactly what or how.
We had made the decision to leave our house. We had sold most of the stuff in it, and we had taken in just enough cash to get a rental place. It was probably one of the hardest places to be.
But the thing I take with me and remember the most is that as we sat there in the two small chairs that we had left in our living room, God met us there.
He spoke to us that day and told us we are to do full time ministry. Now, you need to know that the ministry He was speaking of was exactly what we do today.
At that time we had nothing to work with. We were empty. But today, we are full. Full with His purpose, His guidance and His provision!
Thank you all so very much for the part you play in this, because it’s huge.
The one thing that we would love for you to get from this is that we had no idea how to do what God was asking us. Our vision was very limited.
On that note, what did we do? The only thing we knew was to keep doing what was directly in front of us, but to stay open and alert to changes that came our way.
The best information we can give you today is, unless God directly says to stop what you are doing and go here or go there, don’t make any sudden moves. That is true even when He shows you what He is going to do through you. The vision will usually come first as, a seed. After that it is usually in quiet steps.
When Mary was impregnated by the Holy Spirit, the Son of God was growing right in her womb. Who did she tell? Everyone? No… she went to Joseph and told him. And the only other person that confirmed who she carried inside of her was Elizabeth. They kept it to themselves.
Luke 1:41-42 (NKJV) 41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
You see, it is very important, 1. Not to move too quickly. Do only what God shows us to do. 2. Not to tell everyone we know. Protect God’s plan with everything in us. And, 3. Wait on the Lord to unfold it, step by step.
Today, let God open our vision and show us His plan. He is faithful to fulfill it! Amen.
