Vision & Hope
Today we live in a society where right is wrong, and righteousness is regarded as abnormal. We have people feeling hopeless, lost, confused and depressed. Families are broken. Many fear what the future holds. They are fearful for their spouses, their kids, grand-kids, their jobs, their health. How can we have a vision when it looks like there is no future? God wants to turn this around. The greatest hope today is Jesus. That greatest place to be is His Church.
Matthew 16:18, I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. The Church is Gods idea. I believe that through the Church God wants to reveal Jesus to the world.
Without a vision the people perish. Proverbs 29:18
With a puzzle we have a lot of pieces that need to come together. The best way to link it all is by looking at the picture of what it is supposed to look like. Getting a vision for your future will help you to fight the good fight. You will not just see chaos in the midst of puzzle pieces. You will see the end result. Vision is the same way. Seeing the end result.
If you look at negative, hopeless circumstances long enough, you will be controlled by “seen things.” This is how a person becomes continually motivated by fear. By always looking at natural things. Thoughts of failure produce a vision of failure-fear. The vision you have for your life determines how you see the circumstances of life. – Dr Michael Maiden
It is time for us to no longer sit idle and keep silent. It is time to stand up, speak loudly and march under the blood-stained banner of Christ and take back everything the enemy has taken from us. You are the Church and greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4
