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!

HARVEST TIME!

Galatians 6:9 New International Version (NIV) 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Have you ever been working, waiting, or standing in the gap for anyone? In such times of testing and prayer did you ever think how easy it would be to give up? It seems that while we are going through we loose sight of the goal GOD has set before us! We focus on our discomfort and take the burden onto our own backs instead of leaning on GOD's everlasting arms. The struggle itself is not the problem. However, our main problem is our human condition. We cannot do it all on our own. We must constantly look in the mirror and remind ourselves that we are not alone. . . Ever! We must remember who our GOD is. GOD will never allow you to go through a problem without bringing you to your blessing. It may take more time than you would like to endure. However the outcome and harvest gained is what's needed. If you are ...

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV). Do Not Grow Weary In Waiting!!! I have realized that we live in a society that has trained us to have everything "right now" and our way. We have become experts in getting our children to stop having temper tantrums. We grow weary when we even think about how long something may take. And the thought of working through a rough patch in our lives and marriages seems like the thing not to do. I mean!! Half of our marriages end in divorce. How can Christians fight for marri...

LOVE. . . EVEN WHEN IT HURTS!

John 4:7-8 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.  _____________________________ It sounds so easy! “Love one another”! But it is a task that takes practice and the Holy Spirit working within us to accomplish.   IT is easy to love a friend or a family member. Those who are good to us make it easy. But what about our enemies? How can we love them?   This verse does not exclude our enemies.   Those who push our buttons need our love the most.   Those who we must pray for daily need to see Christ in each one of us.   And please remember to others we are that person that needs prayer as well. Bottom Line: Loving others the way GOD loves us is not an easy task. It takes the spirit of GOD working in side of us to accomplish.   It takes the death of the old us and the new nature of Christ living in...
