Deep dives
The Power of Vision
Vision is a critical aspect of our lives. Without vision, we become stagnant and don't make progress. In the last days, an outpouring of the Spirit of God will bring forth dreams and visions that will lead to world-changing transformations. Dreams are big, broad, and often not fulfilled in one's lifetime, while visions are achievable goals for younger individuals. Vision is a gift from God that allows us to fulfill our purpose and make a significant impact. Lack of vision leads to loss of momentum and strength, like a shotgun losing velocity. To realize and actualize our vision, we must pursue it, protect it, and prepare for it.
Pursuing and Refining Vision
Vision must be actively pursued and valued. It is not a random or insignificant concept. In valuing our vision, we recognize that it is the divine purpose for our existence, our calling, and what we are meant to build in this world. Pursuing vision requires discipline, strategy, and passion. Some may doubt their ability to have vision or believe that their life does not hold significant meaning, but these thoughts are lies. Each individual has a unique and powerful contribution to make to the world. Pursuing vision involves seeking God, praying, and stilling oneself to hear His guidance. Vision may start as clues that gradually become clearer, and through writing it down and refining it, we add detail and context. As we create space for vision, people and resources will come to support its realization.
Protecting and Holding Onto Vision
Vision must be protected from the thief who wants to steal it. The enemy's warfare is aimed at killing our vision and diverting our focus from our true purpose. We are not random; we are called and have a unique destiny. It is essential to hold on tightly to our vision, even in the face of adversity and discouragement. God's role in our vision is to lead us, empower us, and bring transformation. To protect our vision, we need to continually refocus on it, avoid distractions, and not let disappointments or comparisons with others deter us. The vision is the roadmap to realizing our true selves and leaving a lasting impact on the world.
