Your Vision Is Essential For Survival For Today

So how's our vision? Is your passion in life connected with that vision?

A poet once wrote: "Beware of those who stand aloof, and greet each venture with reproof. The world would stop if things were run, by those who say, 'It can't be done.'"

In the midst of the fire, when things are NOT going your way, is when your vision can be your lifeline.

"Where there is no vision, the people perish." (Prov 29:18)

God given vision is birthed from your faith. Your faith grows by the Word. So the power to your vision lies in activating the Word of God. Prayer is the sustaining power to bring it together into reality.

My friend, be at peace. If God has called you to fulfill a vision He's given, He'll more than enable you to walk there by His grace and power. Dig in. Believe. Walk. Obey. Surrender.

I read recently, "It's not about what you can do, but what God can do with your life when it's fully surrendered to Him. It encompasses things outside the realm of the predictable, the safe, and the expected."

So what do you DO while you wait for the provision for the vision? How do you walk amidst attacks from every side?

You walk and SPEAK faith.

Your words--connected by the Word of God--are the seeds of your future, of your vision.

In the battle of David and Goliath, the giant told David what he was going to do to him.

"He said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. "Come here," he said, "and I'll give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!"

Ugly negative words that could set anyone back. The power of life and death is in the tongue has it says in Proverbs.

Goliath spewed death.

Notice how David responded and WHOSE Word he stood by:

"You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the LORD will hand you over to me, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands."

I believe this is a powerful example of how to act when the enemy comes up to you, looking like a big ugly giant threatening to kill your vision....in the form of a family crisis, a financial disaster, or a disease trying to attack your body.

You speak the Word of God to that enemy. One word spoken by the Lord in a moment can cancel years of the wrong things spoken by the enemy.

So find the words you need to face your Goliath.

"The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble"(Psalm 9:9)

"..blessed is the man who who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands.
is children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever." Psalm 112:1-3

"For I am The Lord Who healeth thee...."

"For by His stripes we were healed..."

You have God's Word to speak so you can see your vision come to pass!

"For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay."
(Habakkuk 2:3)
