VISION!!!


Proverbs 29:18
21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

In this world nothing is what it seems. The passions of the world become the distractions to GOD’s voice in each of our lives. We are bombarded with the white noise that floods our five senses to full capacity on a daily basis. And over time this state of existence becomes the norm. We get used to the display of the world that the devil uses to keep us from seeing the deeper calling GOD has placed before us. We entertain ourselves and let GOD’s vision get replaced with the pipe dreams of the world.  The dreams are for a moment, but GOD’s vision leads into eternity!  If we give in, and if we let ourselves become distracted, in the end we will be left with feelings of emptiness and longing. Like a millionaire that losses all of his friends because of a shortage of funds, we will be looking for the dream to fulfill us, but it cannot. The dream cannot answer the eternal questions that GOD’s vision is designed to lead us to.

The dreams of the world look, sound, smell, taste, and feel good. The dreams of the world will wet your whistle for a short time. Just like the right sum of money can buy you the best night with the best prostitute you can find! She will listen to your problems, and provide for the needs of your flesh, but when your money is gone so is she.  However all the money in the world will never buy a woman’s real love, loyalty and respect. The other woman represents the worlds dream, but your family and wife represent GOD’s vision!  You can wake up from a dream, but GOD’s vision is destined and placed in your life specifically to be fulfilled. The dream is a distraction, but GOD’s vision is a blueprint to reach a specific goal.

We must train ourselves to be sensitive to GOD’s voice and become open to the vision he is bestowing upon us. We need to have our motherly ears on. Isn’t it funny that in the middle of Chucky Cheese on a Saturday during 16 simultaneous birthday parties, a mother can pick out her child’s voice from the rest of the children playing! When have we trained our ears to hear GOD calling us in the middle of every distraction the world places in our path? Don’t just wonder what GOD has planned for you, seek it, and claim it! The vision is yours to fulfill in the strength of GOD, in Jesus’ name! Drop the dreams of the world and grab hold to GOD’s purpose and vision for your life!


Be encouraged!

I love you all ways and in all ways!


Rev. M. Harrison

    Asking God to train our senses to respond to Him is a minor task that has a major impact!

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

NEW BEGINNINGS

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert   Some of us are stuck in our present and being held back by our past.   We struggle with what might be and what “was”, all the while God is shining a light on the door that leads into a place of renewal and challenge.   The question is; Why do we hesitate to turn the key and accept the challenge? We must be open and faithful to the plan of God in our lives.   In o ur past and present we have developed a perceived control, but our future is totally in God’s hands.   We need to recognize and accept that in all things God’s will needs to be done.   Do not let fear, and uncertainty become the stumbling blocks that motivate you to sway from God’s plan.   Be bold and accept his will and way for your future.   Look for his guidance and leave the past where it belongs.   ...

TIME!

James 4:14   Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. __________________________________________________________ Our plans and plots are events that we try to cram into the short time we have on this earth.   The term YOLO is very true.   We only have one life, and one short chance to live and make a difference in this world.   When we make plans for our lives we are, at best, looking at a very small slice of time.   Our time is like a seed.   A seed is small!  Yet it will leave a legacy that will be manifested in the tree and fruit that is produced.   The seed will die but what it leaves behind speaks to what was planted.   What have you decided to do with your time?   Strive to let your life edify God and leave a legacy of love via your life of expression.   Express the gift that God has given you through His son Jesus Chris...
