MY FRIENDS, CAN WE ARTICULATE THE ACT OR POWER OF ANTICIPATING THAT WHICH WILL COME TO BE?
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power” 1 Tim 1:9 (NKJV)
“But All these are the beginning of sorrows, for lawlessness will continue to abound, and the love of many will continue to grow cold.” Now the question we must ask our self, can god’s children even articulate a vision in the 21st century “for such a time as this” and what is that vision and where do we start. Let’s focus first on the definition.
Webster defines a vision as “the act or power of anticipating that which will…come to be.” So as we look at the world we live in, it seems to be
on a fast track to the moment when God will say it is finished. “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” Rev. 22:11 (NKJV)
Well as I look at our options today, if we serve a risen Savior, it must become personal, our vision or “act or power of anticipating that which will come to be” must become, all about God’s will being executed in our life and not what we perceived to be too difficult, or the challenge to high of a cost in regards to our time.
Paul tells us “The law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane.” 1 Tim. 1:9 (NKJV) The passion of Christ must become who we are and how far we have grown in our own relationship with Christ as we articulate God’s vision thru us to others.
Yes we must have a passion and a vision that drives us to tell others, as John when he “saw a new heaven, my friends we must envision that same new heaven and new earth, as we picture the first heaven and the first earth passing away. In addition, before us, we also see the holy city, The New Jerusalem, that comes down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And then we hear a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And then we must picture God wiping away every tear from our eyes; as we realize there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, no more pain, for the former things have passed away.
Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Rev. 21:1-5 (NKJV) My friends that vision must become real to us, before we can articulate it to others, and we must be willing to do whatever it takes, as 
we accept Christ commission to harvest His vineyard.
The things of this world that takes away God’s time that Satan present before us each day must be eliminated from our lives “as we run with patience the race that is set before us” by Christ.
My friends, the things of this world can no longer be an alternative to how we spend our time if we are serious about allowing God’s Spirit to transform our lives into the image of Christ. So today, capture the vision from above and “articulate the act or power of anticipating that which will come to be”
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
