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.

God Will Validate and Verify!!!

God Will Validate and Verify!!! But before I go on, I must take accountability for the thing that I said. Being corrected, I need to apologize. Before listening to Celestial of “The Master’s Voice Prophecy Blog” recently, I stated that I could not even listen to someone that attempts to come to me with any depiction of Jesus, particularly Sallman's version of the "Head of Christ". But credit must be given, that part of the European nations' legacy is the fact that they, regardless of intent, were willing to take the gospel all over the world, "enlightening countless others". She confirmed what bothers me most, and that is that we don't take the time to study the Word and know Him for ourselves. As she affirmed it with this statement, "The Gospel has to be separated from its historical past. Using Jesus as a coverup for colonization, oppression, or for anything else, does not negate the fact that truth is truth and that Jesus is Jesus...". I a...

God's Laws Remain Very Relevant!!!

God's Laws Remain Very Relevant!!! As we enter chapter 6 in the Book of Deuteronomy, there is a continued focus on God’s laws. I am led by the Spirit to point out a couple of things before we proceed, as many would think that sin is justified as long as we “repent”. “For whoever keeps the whole Law but stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of [breaking] all of it. For He who said, ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ also said, DO NOT MURDER.’ Now if you do not commit adultery, but you murder, you have become guilty of transgressing the [entire] Law” (James 2: 10-11, AMP). “What shall we say [to all this]? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that [God’s gift of] grace may increase and overflow? Certainly not! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, continue to live in it any longer? Or are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We have therefore been buried with Him through baptism into dea...

The Wisdom of God's Laws!!!

The Wisdom of God's Laws!!! As I listen to the diatribe of men and women in leadership, the psychopathic, recalcitrant behaviors, I notice that there is a severe break in perception. Psychosis is pervading the minds of many. And the truly frightening thing is that it is becoming the "normal" state of being. A “trickle-down effect” being effectively spewed to the masses. The Holy Spirit had me to do some research as He was confirming to me that this is of Him. Educating me that racism is one type or form of psychosis. Discussions were held in the past to classify this type of ideology as a mental health disorder. Why do you think that it never happened? As we continue I want to touch on one of the most egregious forms of idolatry. The most popular depiction of Jesus Christ by Warner Sallman, “The Head of Christ”. Through a partnership with two publishing companies. One Protestant and the other Catholic. Along with other portraits combining “gods” and pagans. All wit...
