Firstly I rightfully do not endorse Christians
trying to make money of the gospel, asking for money or any of the adds, or
the Bibles, books, tapes listed here for sale
too..
FOLLOWING YOUR VISION
QUEST
(Prov 16:8 KJV) Better is a
little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
(1 Cor 3:19 KJV) For
the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh
the wise in their own craftiness. 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the
thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21 Therefore let no man glory
in men. For all things are yours;
(Job 20:4 KJV) Knowest thou
not this of old, since man was placed upon earth, 5 That the triumphing
of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment? 6
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto
the clouds; 7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which
have seen him shall say, Where is he? 8 He shall fly away as a dream,
and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the
night.
(Luke 9:25 KJV) For what is a
man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast
away?
(Luke 9:26 KJV) For whosoever
shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be
ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the
holy angels.
(Hosea 10:12 KJV) Sow to
yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for
it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon
you.
(Hosea 10:13 KJV) Ye
have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of
lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty
men.
(Psa 34:18 KJV) The LORD is
nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite
spirit.
(Psa 51:17 KJV) The
sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God,
thou wilt not despise.
(Isa 57:15 KJV) For thus
saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I
dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and
humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of
the contrite ones.
(Isa 66:2 KJV) For all those
things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD:
but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite
spirit, and trembleth at my word.
(Prov 29:18 KJV)
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law,
happy is he.
Note you want to be blessed, to see
all of your God vision followed through. try to keep all of God's laws
then..
No matter how much I say many people still do not do it.. I said spend
more time in getting to know God's words directly, read the Bible more.. and
do not rather read what the still mostly liars do say about the Bible, and
anything else. Men's opinions are useless to God's real, whole truth still
too! Let God interpret, teach you his word and not the mostly mere,
usless men and women. Stop praising mere men and women, praise God and worship
him
You do Need A Godly Vision, (but you also do still need to follow only
after, still obey God's words..)
(1 Sam 3:1 KJV) And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD
before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no
open vision.
(Isa 28:7 KJV) But they also have erred through wine, and through
strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through
strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through
strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
(Jer 14:14 KJV) Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy
lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake
unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing
of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
(Jer 23:16 KJV) Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto
the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they
speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the
LORD.
(Lam 2:9 KJV) Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath
destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the
Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the
LORD.
(Ezek 13:7 KJV) Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not
spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have
not spoken?
(Micah 3:6 KJV) Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall
not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine;
and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over
them. 7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded:
yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of
judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel
his sin.
Psalms 119:36,37 Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to
covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive
me in Your way.
"All that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life; is not of the Father but is of the world."(1 John
2:16)
You need God's vision for your life, it can save you from
three deadly faults, impatience, indecision, and worst of all,
indifference. Seek it. Ask him for it..
(Ezek 8:4 KJV) And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was
there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
(1 Sam 3:9 KJV) Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie
down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for
thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
What confrontation is looming over you at this moment? Which colossus
is making you feel like a gnat? Surely you don't want to surrender, and you
may be attempting to be strong. If so, have some great news for you;
with God on your side, you can overcome any challenge! There are various ways
to outflank any challenge, however, one weapon is essential, that is
'vision.'
Why is that you ask?
A
genuine Vision of and from God, this vision will give you the ability
to:
1. Utilize God's power.
2. Appreciate God's presence.
3.
Understand, and focus on God's will for your life.
4. Overcome any
obstacles.
The Vision will change your attitude. Should a dilemma jerk the rug out
from under you, you won't even consider surrendering. Instead, you can say,
"Go get'em Jesus!" A vision will allow your faith to turn a
conflict, into an experience, that glorifies God.
A
godly vision will enable you to overcome uncertainty, temptation or
indifference. A vision will enable you to remain 'tough' when the going gets
tough.
Now don't fall into the trap of thinking, somehow, or through
someone,something 'magic' is going to occur, and everything will finalize all
at once .Oh bad news: It doesn't work that way! As, vision requires
still a commitment and the excercise of one's faith in God.
(Heb 10:38 KJV) Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man
draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
A
commitment, and an attitude that proclaims, when everybody around you is
saying "you cannot," you exclaim, "with God's help, I can!" OK, let's
get started; if you don't already have a vision from God, ask Him for one.
Then maintain it and strengthen it; your vision from God, of God is your key
to victory.
Keep in mind God always enables you to do whatever He asks you to
do! If God said it, you can believe it; now do it!
(Gen 15:1 KJV) After these things the word of the LORD came unto
Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding
great reward.
Your God given vision is till not a false alternative to have an
ongoing personal relationship with God.
(Num 12:6 KJV) And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a
prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and
will speak unto him in a dream. 7 My servant Moses is not so, who is
faithful in all mine house. 8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even
apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he
behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he
departed.
But not all of God's visions are even positive ones.. some times they
are visons of negative judgments even upon God's own people.
(1 Sam 3:15 KJV) And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the
doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to show Eli the
vision.
(Isa 1:1 KJV) The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw
concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and
Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for
the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have
rebelled against me. 3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his
master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. 4
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children
that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy
One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
(Isa 21:1 KJV) The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds
in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible
land.2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer
dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O
Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease. 3 Therefore are my
loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman
that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the
seeing of it.
(Isa 22:5 KJV) For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down,
and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking
down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
Godly Visions are also given not just to encourage people to repent,
turn from their evil ways but also to encourage others, confirm God's will and
truths.
(2 Sam 7:4 KJV) And it came to pass that night, that the word of
the LORD came unto Nathan, saying, 5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus
saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? 6
Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the
children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent
and in a tabernacle. 7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all
the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I
commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of
cedar? 8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus
saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the
sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel: 9 And I was with thee
whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy
sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men
that are in the earth. 10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people
Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and
move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more,
as beforetime, 11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be
over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies.
Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house. 12 And when
thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up
thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will
establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build an house for my name, and I
will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 14 I will be his
father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with
the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: 15 But my
mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away
before thee. 16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for
ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. 17 According
to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto
David.
(Psa 89:19 KJV) Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and
saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen
out of the people. 20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil
have I anointed him: 21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm
also shall strengthen him. 22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor
the son of wickedness afflict him. 23 And I will beat down his foes
before his face, and plague them that hate him. 24 But my faithfulness
and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the
rivers. 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the
rock of my salvation. 27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than
the kings of the earth. 28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore,
and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 29 His seed also will I make
to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 30 If
his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 31 If they
break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; 32 Then will I visit
their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 33
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my
faithfulness to fail. 34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter
the thing that is gone out of my lips. 35 Once have I sworn by my
holiness that I will not lie unto David. 36 His seed shall endure for
ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 37 It shall be established
for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
(Ezek 11:24 KJV) Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me
in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So
the vision that I had seen went up from me. 25 Then I spake unto them
of the captivity all the things that the LORD had showed me.
(Ezek 43:1 KJV) Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the
gate that looketh toward the east:2 And, behold, the glory of the God of
Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many
waters: and the earth shined with his glory. 3 And it was according to
the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I
saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that
I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
(Dan 2:19 KJV) Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a
night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
(Dan 8:1 KJV) In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a
vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto
me at the first.
A
godlly vision will cause you now to worship God. even more
And what about your Godly vision? Do you have one now? why
not?
(Dan 9:23 KJV) At the beginning of thy supplications the
commandment came forth, and I am come to show thee; for thou art greatly
beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the
vision.
(Psa 15:5 KJV) He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor
taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be
moved.
(Psa 106:3 KJV) Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that
doeth righteousness at all times.
(Jer 48:10 KJV) Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD
deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from
blood.
(Mat 7:21 KJV) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven.
(John 3:21 KJV) But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that
his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
(Col 3:25 KJV) But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the
wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
(1 John 2:17 KJV) And the world passeth away, and the lust
thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
(1 John 3:7 KJV) Little children, let no man deceive you: he that
doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
(3 John 1:11 KJV) Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but
that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath
not seen God.
In the very same denomination, in the Church, in the very same
building, there were two types of distinct Christians, one was false and
the other ones true.. and this applied to the City of Jerusalem as well
at the time of Christ... to the wise and foolish virgins. but it also applies
to the Pharisees versus the disciples of Christ.. or Judas compared to the
other apostles..
I
was once attending a church services where two different main languages were
spoken by the attendees, so thus next two separate churches were
held there in the very same building, the very same denomination as well. In
the main larger service , this was the clearly proud, arrogant
church.The pastor himself was arrogant, and he was also self employed as
an accountant who helped members of his church wrongfully to commit
tax evasions as well. In the other Church service that I also
attended the same day at a different hour the Christian people there and the
elders were humble kind, loving, gentle one towards another and
they rightfully did not commit tax evasions.
Now I have seen this stark contrast more than once even in the
same denominations, in the same building and
(Gal 6:7 KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap.8 For he that soweth to his flesh
shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of
the Spirit reap life everlasting.
(Gal 5:22 KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,23 Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have
crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the
Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of
vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Why does God have to show us how really bad our pastors, our family
members are still?
Please do stop now even idolizing, praising mere men and women,
praise God and worship him alone. Otherwise you are in false pride.. and
pride comes before a great fall.
(Lev 26:19 KJV) And I will break the pride of your power; and I
will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
(2 Chr 32:26 KJV) Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for
the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the
wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
(Psa 31:20 KJV) Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy
presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion
from the strife of tongues.
(Psa 36:11 KJV) Let not the foot of pride come against me, and
let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
(Psa 59:12 KJV) For the sin of their mouth and the words of their
lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which
they speak.
(Psa 73:6 KJV) Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain;
violence covereth them as a garment.
(Prov 8:13 KJV) The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and
arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
(Prov 11:2 KJV) When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with
the lowly is wisdom.
(Prov 13:10 KJV) Only by pride cometh contention: but with the
well advised is wisdom.
(Prov 14:3 KJV) In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride:
but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
(Prov 16:18 KJV) Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty
spirit before a fall.
(Prov 29:23 KJV) A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour
shall uphold the humble in spirit.
(Jer 13:17 KJV) But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in
secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with
tears, because the Lord's flock is carried away captive.
(Dan 5:20 KJV) But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind
hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his
glory from him:
(Hosea 5:5 KJV) And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face:
therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall
fall with them.
(Zep 2:10 KJV) This shall they have for their pride, because they
have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of
hosts.
(1 Tim 3:6 KJV) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he
fall into the condemnation of the devil.
(1 John 2:16 KJV) For all that is in the world, the lust of the
flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father,
but is of the world.
Every time you lie and you tell yourself or others how good someone
else really is, how good your family really is like, or how nice your
children, your job, your spouse are.. God shows the whole truth to you as well
next as to what they and your false pride are really like.
(Micah 7:2 KJV) The good man is perished out of the earth: and
there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt
every man his brother with a net. 3 That they may do evil with both
hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the
great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a
thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be
their perplexity. 5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a
guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. 6
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her
mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the
men of his own house. 7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait
for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
(Mat 10:35 KJV) For I am come to set a man at variance against
his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law
against her mother in law. 36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own
household.
(Psa 14:3 KJV) They are all gone aside, they are all together
become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
(2 Cor 4:7 KJV) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
(John 3:16 KJV) For God
so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the
world through him might be saved.
A house divided against itself cannot
stand (Mark 3:25) applies to Churches, and
our homes, and our marriages too.
God Bless you.
