The Purpose of Vision

I had just woken up this morning and while spending time with the LORD, I began reading from 2 Samuel 5:10,12. The Holy Spirit spoke to me concerning one of the most pivotal reasons David was "a man after Mine own heart".

David took the time to not only consult the LORD but to be obedient in all that He told him. David realized that the LORD had given him a vision. He realized that the vision was not for him, but for God's people.

David was aware that in the LORD's graciousness, he was reaping the benefits for carrying out God's mission.

I have heard enlightened men of God speak on the difference of having a vision and being ambitious, and the Holy Spirit confirms in His Word that ambition is for "self", but vision is used to empower others.

Faithful in Small Things

This speaks to me as I become more intimate in my relationship with Jesus. When He speaks to me and as He guides me, I feel that when and if I tell others, they will think that what I am sharing is a little thing. Insignificant. But I am in awe at His very presence.

Who am I that He is mindful of me?

I feel in my spirit that God is leading me in baby steps as He continually shows me more of His glory. (It is hard to praise an infinite God with a finite mind.) But I know that as He can trust me in the smaller things, my strides will become longer until I am soaring with Him as an eagle.

My spirit is so full. My heart is overwhelmed. I serve a majestic God who is the creator of life itself. A God that is able and will one day fold these old heavens like the folding of a blanket.

My heart is full and every day, I am in "AWE of HIM how chose me!!!

Added Note:

As the Holy Spirit continues to give us revelation, it is important to add that when He gives us a vision, because in essence, this is one of the reasons why we were created, we must be meticulous in how we carry it out. It can be the difference between life and death.

David learned this with the first attempt to bring the Ark of God home. His heart was in the right place. But in his zeal, he did not follow the commandment of the LORD concerning the ark and it caused Uzzah his life. It is imperative that we listen and not be hasty in the vision that God gives us, lest it lead to pride and our downfall.

Don't Profane What is Holy!!! People are committing all sorts of immoral lusts against their bodies. Marrying and in homosexual, bisexual, and polygamous relationships. Truly believing that you can indulge in lasciviousness and see God's face in peace. The worst part is that you are bringing innocent children into the equation. Allowing them to be taunted and scarred by brutal indifference. While exposing them to one of the most demonically, sinister, and perverse entities that walk this earth. A spirit that is so degenerate, it will and has led to bestiality and worse. Now I need you to read or listen to this at least three times. Some may be offended. But because you are leading to the corruption of the innocent. While mocking God when you know that it is wrong. Judgment will be swift and merciless. You have rejected God!!! Did you get that? Because when you sin against your own body. This is a specialized kind of self-hate. Birthed through mental, emotional, psychological,

I am thankful that I am capable of communing with the Holy Spirit. Having some time off before I start my next assignment and while we were in fellowship, He encouraged me to take a vacation with my two youngest children. It will be their first real vacation and the fact that I am able to do so is a blessing. For approximately six years following my divorce, I had been sleeping on the floor. I made sure that my kids had beds after some time, and this did not necessarily bother me. I had just gotten so used to it. But the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, "get a bed". Likewise telling me to stop living in a scarcity mindset. (Thank you, Tony Gaskins!) He loves me and wants to give me the desires of my heart according to His will. I never have experienced true love from family or friends and now I know that it is okay. God has been with me from the beginning I am thankful that I care enough for me to work on self. I am crying while I write this because I have so much to be tha

Don't Worry About Nothing!!! Can I tell you that when you are fretful, allowing someone to "trigger" you. You open yourself up to spiritual distress. Unnecessary persecution from the enemy. Frustrating your spiritual balance. Sending you into mental and emotional chaos. You allow the adversary to rule over your thoughts and emotions. The negative effects are compounded by a slow spiritual and mental recovery. Every time you allow this, it is harder to heal, robbing you of the ability to exercise faith in God's Word. You must remember that we are more than conquerors. Stop and see this ambush for what it is. Speak the affirmations of God's Word. This is why Philippians 4:8 admonishes us, "Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God's Word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, i
