Seeing is believing. This is a common belief amongst the human race, yet, it is far from scriptural…well…sort of.
Today I was thinking about where will I be in 5 years, or in 10 years. Where do I see myself going…where do I see myself ending up and doing with the rest of my life? I cannot seem to get a firm grasp on the direction of my life right now. I mean…I'm moving home for 7 months, and then I am going into the rest of the world to fulfill my calling: to love…this is a double edge sword. I want to go, but I'm leaving everything and everyone…
As I began to ponder this whole thing about where I see myself, I quickly stopped and said, we don't walk by sight but by faith. Then I began to question…we speak and things happen. I am not to worry about tomorrow but God has placed dreams and visions in my heart. I am to declare those things to come to pass, I am to speak life over those dreams and to nurture them into being.
Thomas didn't believe until he saw…and Jesus replied that blessed are those who don't see and believe. I know this is referring to Jesus in this passage but take it and run with it. We know God has called us to certain things. Now, am I going to sit back and wait for them to happen before I believe it's true? Absolutely not…I'm going to move in that direction and see the face of my King….relentlessly. Until those things come to pass I'm going to see them and declare life and truth over them. Let's take a look at Romans 4:15-20. Take a minute to look up the passage. Romans comes after Acts in case you were looking… So, we see that Abraham…he believed in God…the one who gave life to the dead and called those things which did not exist as though they did…and later it was rewarded to him as righteousness. Check it! We believe in God who is calling our destiny into being! We may not see it…but we believe it…and walk it out.
We also see in Habbukuk to write the vision and make it plain. This isn't a suggestion…it is a demand upon the people in that time. I believe God expects the same for us…we write what we see and He calls it into being. As we become one with Him, we see His heart, it all flows…
So, here we have it. I will be in full time ministry. I will be healing the sick, declaring hope to the broken hearted, loving the unlovable, and bringing deliverance to the captives. I will have signs and wonders following me and I will bring Jesus to the world. Every tribe, nation and tongue will hear me proclaim that Jesus is Lord. I won't stop until I'm dead. I will not relent. There is a world without a Savior and King and I will bring Him to them. I will show them that He is there and that He is real. God has a calling on my life and all of our lives and we will move forward. Relentless…
