Vision Pastor: Awo Antwi KP2 Date: 19th October 2025 ------------------- In a world full of noise, how do you hear the still, small voice of God? Drawing from the prophet Habakkuk’s commitment to "stand the watch," this message explores the necessity of separation, the power of writing your vision down, and the discipline required to run the race with purpose.

[0:00] Vision, vision, vision.
[0:01] Yes.
[0:02] When you say vision,
[0:03] some of you,
[0:04] I'm sure your eyes are looking at,
[0:05] !
[0:30] Yes.
[0:31] Deep understanding.
[0:33] Like Peter's own.
[0:35] Amazing.
[0:35] It was so specific.
[0:37] And then after that,
[0:37] a voice followed.
[0:38] Go to a street called street.
[0:41] How direct can you be?
[0:43] A street called street.
[0:44] And indeed,
[0:45] there was a street called street.
[0:47] It's beautiful.
[0:49] But that's not the vision
[0:50] we're talking about today.
[0:51] It's the other vision
[0:52] of having to see ahead.
[0:56] Have an image or an idea
[0:58] of something ahead of it,
[1:00] ahead of time.
[1:02] God has a vision.
[1:03] God has a plan for humanity,
[1:05] for the saints,
[1:06] for the church,
[1:07] particularly our church,
[1:08] and also for your life
[1:09] as an individual.
[1:11] One of God's vision
[1:12] is for you to be saved.
[1:13] And by God's grace,
[1:14] I believe all of us
[1:15] are saved.
[1:17] And if you're not saved,
[1:18] it is God's desire
[1:19] that today you will be saved
[1:20] as you've entered into his house.
[1:23] In his salvation plan,
[1:25] God desires to restore
[1:26] the covenant relationship
[1:27] he once had with Adam and Eve.
[1:32] It's a relationship
[1:32] that is supposed to be eternal.
[1:34] But most of us would know
[1:35] that that relationship
[1:36] was broken because of sin.
[1:39] It's God's vision
[1:40] to see mankind come back to him.
[1:44] It's also God's vision
[1:45] that salvation will come
[1:46] through Jesus Christ alone.
[1:48] That's how we made it.
[1:50] He planned it.
[1:51] He's programmed it.
[1:51] He's purposed it.
[1:52] That's how he's seen it.
[1:53] And that's how we know
[1:56] to have salvation
[1:58] that will come
[1:59] through Jesus Christ.
[2:00] There's no other way
[2:01] to come to God
[2:03] but through Christ.
[2:04] Christ said it himself.
[2:05] And many others over time
[2:07] have tried to find
[2:08] alternative ways.
[2:10] Sometimes people say,
[2:10] I don't even need
[2:11] any other thing.
[2:12] It's me.
[2:12] Now, self is the center
[2:14] in our generation.
[2:15] People say,
[2:16] you don't need anything
[2:17] external.
[2:17] Everything is in you.
[2:19] All of it is a lie.
[2:20] When they lie on their beds,
[2:22] they know that there's
[2:23] nothing in there.
[2:24] It's empty.
[2:25] Because they don't have
[2:26] the life of God.
[2:27] They don't have communion
[2:28] with God.
[2:29] They don't have fellowship
[2:30] with God.
[2:31] And really,
[2:31] God is the source of life.
[2:33] So if you don't have that,
[2:34] I don't know how you think
[2:34] that within yourself
[2:35] there's salvation.
[2:37] There's nothing good in man.
[2:38] Only Christ makes us good.
[2:41] In today's reading,
[2:42] it said,
[2:42] why do you call me good?
[2:44] Even Christ had to challenge them.
[2:46] You call me good?
[2:47] Do you see more than that?
[2:48] Because you've been rejecting
[2:49] my assignments in your life.
[2:52] You Pharisees,
[2:53] you've been accusing me.
[2:54] I have a devil.
[2:55] I'm not the son of God.
[2:57] And now you call me good.
[2:58] He said,
[2:58] there's nobody good but God.
[3:00] So if you call me good,
[3:01] then you should acknowledge
[3:01] that I'm God.
[3:03] But they refuse.
[3:05] So then,
[3:06] that's why I said,
[3:06] why do you call me good?
[3:07] There's no one good but God.
[3:08] So if you call me good,
[3:10] then you must have known
[3:11] that you have seen
[3:12] something different in my life.
[3:14] And in what I'm doing.
[3:16] So it was,
[3:16] God made it to be
[3:18] only through Christ
[3:18] that will be saved.
[3:20] He made it such that
[3:22] it's only the Holy Spirit
[3:23] who can convict you
[3:24] unto salvation.
[3:25] This is all part of God's plan.
[3:27] This is God's plan.
[3:29] This is the bit that says,
[3:30] eyes have not seen,
[3:32] ears have not heard.
[3:33] Some of us,
[3:33] you think it's your prosperity.
[3:34] No.
[3:35] Because I don't know
[3:35] which prosperity you're talking about
[3:36] that eyes have not seen,
[3:37] ears have not heard.
[3:38] If Solomon has lived,
[3:40] then there's no riches
[3:41] that we are talking about
[3:41] that hasn't existed before.
[3:43] So your riches is nice,
[3:46] but eyes have seen,
[3:47] it's been,
[3:47] it's existed before.
[3:49] Your five bedroom house,
[3:50] eyes have seen,
[3:51] it exists already.
[3:53] But it's talking about
[3:54] God's eternal plan
[3:55] for salvation.
[3:56] It couldn't have entered
[3:57] any man's head or heart
[4:00] that this is how God will save us.
[4:02] That it pleased the Lord
[4:03] that it doesn't take
[4:04] the person next to you.
[4:07] Your salvation is not
[4:07] in somebody's hands.
[4:09] Yeah, we have the privilege
[4:10] of preaching the word,
[4:11] but it's the only
[4:12] the Holy Spirit
[4:13] that can convict you
[4:13] unto salvation.
[4:15] It's in God's plan
[4:16] that we'll be saved
[4:17] by grace through faith
[4:18] in Jesus Christ.
[4:21] There's no other way.
[4:22] You have to come to him
[4:23] by grace.
[4:25] It's just the grace of God.
[4:26] But you have to
[4:26] receive that seed,
[4:29] the seed that
[4:29] the Holy Spirit
[4:30] puts in you
[4:31] as he convicts you
[4:33] of faith,
[4:34] the seed of faith
[4:35] to believe in Jesus Christ.
[4:37] And it's also
[4:38] in God's plan
[4:39] and in his vision
[4:39] that salvation
[4:40] will be eternal.
[4:42] It's his desire.
[4:44] It's his plan.
[4:45] That's how he planned it.
[4:46] Until you reject Christ,
[4:48] your salvation is eternal.
[4:50] You are assured
[4:51] that you are saved.
[4:54] You are only saved
[4:55] by faith
[4:57] in Jesus Christ.
[4:59] And you only lose
[5:00] your salvation
[5:00] when you remove your faith
[5:02] in the finished work of Christ
[5:04] because nothing else
[5:05] can save us.
[5:06] So this is God's
[5:08] salvation plan package.
[5:10] This is what God planned
[5:11] before time.
[5:13] This is how he will rescue
[5:14] man.
[5:16] So you can see that
[5:17] it has worked beautifully
[5:18] for you.
[5:19] I mean,
[5:20] it's changed your life.
[5:22] It has transformed you.
[5:23] Some of us,
[5:24] we are coming from
[5:25] all walks of life.
[5:26] And this vision God had
[5:27] that after the fall,
[5:29] that this will be,
[5:31] he has prepared this
[5:33] before time.
[5:34] But when the fall comes,
[5:35] this is what is going
[5:36] to be executed
[5:36] and man will be brought
[5:37] back into fellowship
[5:38] with him.
[5:39] Amazing.
[5:41] And in this plan,
[5:42] you are in it.
[5:44] In this vision,
[5:45] God had you in it.
[5:47] And this is not,
[5:48] this is just the beginning.
[5:50] This is the door opener.
[5:51] There are many other things
[5:53] that is purpose
[5:54] for your life.
[5:56] So if you have found Christ
[5:58] or God has found you,
[5:59] rather,
[6:00] or he's brought you in,
[6:02] then you must know
[6:03] that there's more
[6:04] that he has to do
[6:06] for your life.
[6:07] Never come to a place
[6:08] of despair
[6:08] where you think
[6:10] God is done with you
[6:11] in spite of where
[6:12] you find yourself.
[6:14] If he didn't have
[6:15] to consult you
[6:16] or check your record
[6:17] before he saved you,
[6:19] then don't ever
[6:20] give up on God.
[6:22] Vision is a powerful thing.
[6:25] It transforms lives.
[6:26] Men have done
[6:27] amazing things
[6:28] even without God.
[6:29] But it never surprises God
[6:32] because in Genesis chapter 1
[6:34] verse 26,
[6:36] the Bible says,
[6:37] then God said,
[6:39] let us make man
[6:40] in our image
[6:41] according to our likeness.
[6:43] Let us have them
[6:44] have dominion
[6:45] over the fish
[6:46] of the sea,
[6:47] over the birds
[6:48] of the air,
[6:49] and over the cattle,
[6:50] over all the earth,
[6:52] and over every creeping thing
[6:53] that creeps
[6:54] on the earth.
[6:55] Verse 27.
[6:56] Then God created man
[6:59] in his own image.
[7:01] In the image of God,
[7:02] he created him.
[7:03] Male and female,
[7:05] he created them.
[7:06] Verse 28.
[7:08] Then God blessed them
[7:09] and God said to them,
[7:10] be fruitful
[7:11] and multiply.
[7:13] Fulfill the earth
[7:15] and subdue it.
[7:17] Have dominion
[7:18] over the fish
[7:18] of the sea,
[7:20] over the birds
[7:20] of the air,
[7:21] over every living thing
[7:23] that moves
[7:24] on the earth.
[7:25] He said,
[7:25] then God blessed them
[7:27] and God said to them,
[7:29] be fruitful
[7:30] and multiply.
[7:31] Fill the earth
[7:32] and subdue it.
[7:35] Have dominion
[7:36] over the fish
[7:36] of the sea,
[7:38] over the birds
[7:38] of the air,
[7:39] and over every living thing
[7:41] that moves
[7:42] on the earth.
[7:42] When God said this,
[7:44] every invention
[7:45] we see today
[7:46] is in this.
[7:49] It's here.
[7:50] When you see
[7:51] amazing things
[7:52] flying in the air,
[7:53] it said,
[7:54] have dominion.
[7:55] over the birds
[7:56] of the air.
[7:57] When you see
[7:58] tankers,
[8:00] you wonder
[8:01] how much,
[8:02] how is it possible
[8:03] that such heavy metal
[8:05] can still stay afloat
[8:07] on water?
[8:08] It's in there.
[8:09] It's in the blessing
[8:10] of man.
[8:11] God just blessed us
[8:12] and he said
[8:13] he created it.
[8:14] God is the creator.
[8:15] He's the originator
[8:16] and he said
[8:17] he made us
[8:18] in his image.
[8:19] So all the things
[8:20] you see
[8:20] that you find
[8:21] absolutely amazing
[8:22] and they are
[8:23] not Christians.
[8:25] This is what
[8:26] God puts in man
[8:26] from the beginning.
[8:29] So you don't have
[8:29] to be a Christian
[8:30] to come up
[8:30] with inventions.
[8:32] This is part
[8:32] of the mandate
[8:34] for man.
[8:37] It's man's mandate.
[8:38] It says,
[8:39] subdue it,
[8:41] increase,
[8:41] and multiply.
[8:44] Nothing stops us.
[8:45] It's almost like
[8:45] when we become Christians,
[8:46] we've left it
[8:47] to the world
[8:47] to invent things
[8:49] so that we can use.
[8:50] that's not it.
[8:53] If you don't have God
[8:54] and they can still
[8:55] come up with these things,
[8:56] how much more
[8:56] those of us
[8:57] who have a relationship
[8:58] with him.
[8:59] For us,
[9:00] we are even more
[9:00] heightened now.
[9:04] It's not like,
[9:05] okay,
[9:06] now I'm going to look
[9:06] what next am I going to invent.
[9:08] Just be ready
[9:10] to excel
[9:11] in whatever
[9:11] you find yourself.
[9:13] And no limits.
[9:15] God didn't put limits
[9:16] on us.
[9:16] He said he made us
[9:17] in his image.
[9:20] In his image.
[9:22] If God is going,
[9:22] look at creation.
[9:23] Amazing.
[9:24] We are still discovering
[9:25] more about God's creation
[9:27] thousands of years
[9:28] down the line.
[9:29] We're still discovering
[9:31] God's creation.
[9:32] We haven't finished
[9:33] discovering his creation.
[9:35] All these scientific
[9:36] whatever,
[9:37] inventions and whatever,
[9:38] all these scientific discoveries,
[9:40] God already knew
[9:41] they were there.
[9:42] He put them there.
[9:43] And it's not like
[9:44] he was telling,
[9:45] let me put more gold here,
[9:47] let me do it.
[9:47] It came with ease.
[9:48] He just spoke it.
[9:50] He just spoke it.
[9:52] And so really,
[9:53] if you can take
[9:54] just a little bit of time
[9:55] and not rush,
[9:57] not rush to look spiritual,
[9:59] but actually understand
[10:01] who God has made us to be.
[10:04] Just one as a human being
[10:06] and even more so
[10:07] as a believer.
[10:10] Yeah,
[10:10] so as I said,
[10:11] I've lived a very limited life.
[10:13] I looked,
[10:14] I look at church,
[10:14] I'm like,
[10:15] God,
[10:15] I feel like I have to start again
[10:17] because I've lived
[10:17] a very limited life.
[10:19] I said,
[10:19] how?
[10:20] How,
[10:20] how,
[10:20] how,
[10:20] how have I,
[10:21] I haven't seen much.
[10:24] If truly,
[10:25] this is what God said about man,
[10:26] there's so much.
[10:29] Don't limit God.
[10:30] Don't limit God
[10:31] because of your circumstance.
[10:33] See yourself in Scripture.
[10:35] See yourself in Scripture
[10:37] in everything.
[10:39] If it's worth doing,
[10:41] I must well do well in it.
[10:44] That's my policy.
[10:45] If it's worth,
[10:46] if it's going to take my time,
[10:47] then it must be good.
[10:49] If it's worth going to work,
[10:51] then I must excel there.
[10:53] If it's worth studying,
[10:55] then I must excel in it.
[10:57] Because that's,
[10:58] that's my life.
[10:59] I'm spending my life
[11:00] in investing in that.
[11:03] I must do well.
[11:04] But vision is powerful.
[11:07] This is God's vision for man.
[11:09] He said,
[11:10] we're going to,
[11:10] we're going to make man.
[11:11] And we're going to make man
[11:13] to be in our image.
[11:14] And this is what man
[11:15] is going to be able to do.
[11:16] He saw it.
[11:18] No invention surprises God.
[11:19] He's actually waiting
[11:20] for more to come out.
[11:22] Because he's already putting us,
[11:24] it's part of our mandate,
[11:25] being put here on earth.
[11:28] Very early on,
[11:29] in Genesis chapter 11,
[11:32] verse 1 to 9,
[11:33] he said,
[11:33] now the whole earth
[11:34] had one language
[11:36] and one speech.
[11:37] And it came to pass
[11:38] as they journeyed
[11:40] from the east
[11:41] that they found a plain
[11:43] in the land of Shinar.
[11:46] And they dwelt there.
[11:47] And they said to one another,
[11:49] come,
[11:50] let us make bricks
[11:51] and bake them thoroughly.
[11:54] They had bricks for stone.
[11:56] They said,
[11:57] come,
[11:57] let us build ourselves
[11:59] a city
[11:59] and a tower
[12:00] whose top is
[12:02] in the heavens.
[12:04] Let us make a name
[12:05] for ourselves
[12:06] lest we be scattered
[12:08] abroad over the face
[12:10] of the whole earth.
[12:11] But the Lord came down
[12:13] to see the city
[12:14] and the tower
[12:16] which the sons of men
[12:17] had built.
[12:19] And the Lord said,
[12:20] indeed,
[12:21] the people are one.
[12:23] And they will have,
[12:25] and they all have one language.
[12:27] And this is what
[12:28] they begin to do now.
[12:30] Nothing that they purpose
[12:32] to do
[12:32] will be withheld
[12:34] from them.
[12:35] Come,
[12:36] let us go down
[12:37] and there confuse
[12:38] their language
[12:39] that they may not
[12:41] understand
[12:42] one another's speech.
[12:44] So the Lord
[12:44] scattered them abroad
[12:45] from there
[12:46] over the face
[12:47] of all the earth
[12:48] and they ceased
[12:49] building the city.
[12:52] Therefore,
[12:52] the name of the,
[12:54] is called Babel
[12:54] because the Lord
[12:55] confused the language
[12:56] of all the earth.
[12:58] And the Lord
[12:58] has scattered them.
[12:59] this is very early on.
[13:04] I mean,
[13:04] it doesn't make sense.
[13:05] How could they have
[13:06] built a tower
[13:07] that meets the heavens?
[13:10] It doesn't make sense.
[13:13] They didn't have
[13:14] the machinery.
[13:15] You know,
[13:15] I'm just thinking
[13:16] about scaffolding.
[13:16] What were they doing
[13:17] with scaffolding?
[13:19] Who was on top of who
[13:20] to then build
[13:23] all the way
[13:23] to hit the heavens?
[13:25] But it was already
[13:27] in man.
[13:29] It was already
[13:29] in man.
[13:31] Skyscripts
[13:32] is already in the Bible.
[13:33] It's in Genesis
[13:33] chapter 11.
[13:35] It's not even Exodus.
[13:36] It's in Genesis.
[13:37] It's not in Genesis
[13:38] chapter 30.
[13:39] Skyscripts
[13:40] are being described
[13:41] in Genesis 11.
[13:43] That's early on.
[13:44] that's why you can't
[13:47] you go to Dubai
[13:48] and say,
[13:48] hey,
[13:49] ah,
[13:51] oh,
[13:51] have you not
[13:52] read your Bible?
[13:55] Have you not
[13:55] read your Bible?
[13:56] You're going to
[13:57] build the highest.
[13:58] I'm like,
[13:58] what do they mean
[13:59] by this is the highest
[14:00] whatever in the,
[14:01] I mean,
[14:01] we've gone back.
[14:03] We've gone backward
[14:03] because these ones
[14:05] they said,
[14:07] and this one
[14:08] is being affirmed
[14:09] by God himself
[14:10] because God came down
[14:11] to come and inspect.
[14:14] Yes.
[14:15] God came down
[14:16] and went to inspect
[14:18] and said,
[14:18] let's just go down.
[14:21] And when they,
[14:22] when he inspected,
[14:23] indeed,
[14:24] the people had built it.
[14:26] God didn't scatter them
[14:29] because he didn't expect
[14:31] them to build,
[14:32] but it was the intention
[14:33] they said they would
[14:34] make a name for themselves.
[14:37] That is why God said,
[14:38] this is no good.
[14:41] It wasn't Christ-centered.
[14:43] It wasn't God-centered.
[14:45] It was a name for themselves.
[14:48] And so God said,
[14:49] this is no good.
[14:50] And so God gave us
[14:52] Swahili,
[14:55] Yoruba,
[14:57] French,
[14:59] all of this,
[15:01] Spanish,
[15:02] German,
[15:02] all of it
[15:03] came from
[15:04] this incident.
[15:07] And so,
[15:07] when people say that
[15:08] we will all
[15:10] have the same,
[15:11] we will all be the same,
[15:12] it's never true.
[15:13] It was God
[15:14] who brought
[15:14] the division.
[15:16] It's only in Christ
[15:17] there's oneness.
[15:20] Outside Christ,
[15:21] I bet you,
[15:22] by the time they say
[15:23] there was one religion,
[15:24] it's the Antichrist.
[15:25] because God scattered us.
[15:29] And that's why in Christ,
[15:33] Jesus says,
[15:33] the Lord has made it such that
[15:35] there's neither Greek nor Jew,
[15:38] male nor female.
[15:39] In Christ,
[15:40] it's only in Christ
[15:41] we have that oneness
[15:42] and that unity.
[15:44] That is the beauty.
[15:45] That is why Jesus
[15:46] prayed for his disciples
[15:47] that they may be one.
[15:49] Just as he is one
[15:50] with the Father.
[15:52] It is a statement
[15:53] that what is not possible
[15:54] out there
[15:55] is only possible
[15:56] in Christ.
[15:58] So,
[15:58] Christians,
[15:59] we must fight
[16:00] for our unity.
[16:01] We must defend
[16:02] our unity
[16:03] because it's a statement
[16:04] to the world
[16:05] of who Christ is
[16:07] and what the world
[16:08] can never achieve.
[16:10] One net.
[16:11] It's not possible.
[16:12] After Genesis 11,
[16:13] it wasn't possible
[16:14] for all the world
[16:15] to come together as one.
[16:16] It's not possible.
[16:17] But our main emphasis
[16:18] is the fact that
[16:19] they were able to build
[16:20] at that time.
[16:21] They had a certain vision.
[16:23] This was a vision
[16:23] they had outside God.
[16:26] They had it
[16:26] and they did it
[16:27] because of the initial mandates
[16:29] God gave us.
[16:31] So,
[16:31] people of God,
[16:32] I really want to encourage you
[16:34] that don't place
[16:35] limits on yourself
[16:36] because even if you're
[16:38] not a Christian,
[16:40] the mandate is ours.
[16:42] It's just for human beings.
[16:44] And you have seen,
[16:44] now you talk about this person,
[16:46] you talk about Google,
[16:46] every day you go,
[16:47] now you've gone to AI,
[16:48] you go to GTP,
[16:49] you're typing.
[16:50] All these people's brains,
[16:52] people's,
[16:53] I mean,
[16:53] they are just being human.
[16:55] They are not supernatural.
[16:56] They are just human.
[16:59] They are just working on
[17:00] what God gave us
[17:01] in Genesis chapter 1.
[17:04] They are just human.
[17:06] Now,
[17:07] you can be
[17:08] supernatural.
[17:11] The earlier you start
[17:13] changing your mindset,
[17:15] don't let your background
[17:16] limit you.
[17:19] The things your parents
[17:20] have told you,
[17:21] the things your aunties
[17:22] have told you,
[17:23] some of you,
[17:24] you've been told
[17:25] nothing good will come out of you.
[17:27] And because of past mistakes,
[17:28] you have convinced yourself
[17:29] that it's true.
[17:31] Oh,
[17:31] discover yourself in Scripture.
[17:33] Even just today,
[17:34] if you can just meditate
[17:35] on Genesis chapter 1,
[17:37] verse 26 to 28,
[17:40] it has the power
[17:40] to transform your life.
[17:42] From day and,
[17:43] it will be like day and night.
[17:45] It's not possible
[17:45] for people who knew you before
[17:46] to reconcile
[17:47] who you have become.
[17:48] If you can only,
[17:49] even just those two verses,
[17:51] focus on them.
[17:52] It has power
[17:52] to change your life.
[17:55] Yeah,
[17:56] let the Lord
[17:56] open your eyes.
[18:01] God is the only one
[18:02] who truly has
[18:03] the master plan
[18:03] of your life.
[18:04] He has a blueprint
[18:05] for your life.
[18:07] That is why
[18:08] when they said
[18:08] that they would do this
[18:09] with our outside of God,
[18:11] God said,
[18:11] this is not good for man.
[18:13] It's not good for mankind.
[18:15] For people to,
[18:16] it's like,
[18:17] to pursue
[18:17] to the highest level
[18:19] outside God.
[18:21] It wasn't good for man.
[18:24] Because corruption comes in.
[18:27] And when corruption comes in,
[18:29] the effect it has on man.
[18:30] When people want to
[18:31] really enjoy themselves,
[18:33] you can see hedonism.
[18:34] It's like,
[18:34] you can see nonsense
[18:36] distraction of self.
[18:39] When people really
[18:39] want to go high,
[18:40] you can imagine
[18:41] what they have to do
[18:41] to go really high.
[18:43] It's going to go
[18:44] to distraction
[18:45] of oneself.
[18:47] Going high
[18:48] without God
[18:49] is very costly.
[18:51] So God knows that.
[18:53] God has a plan
[18:54] for our church.
[18:57] He has a plan
[18:58] for our church
[18:59] right from the beginning.
[19:01] This isn't a Christian
[19:01] cliche.
[19:02] You have to believe it.
[19:05] You have to be convinced
[19:06] about it.
[19:07] And you have to have
[19:07] an expectation
[19:08] of seeing the fulfillment
[19:10] of God's plan.
[19:11] Because I bet you,
[19:13] you can't have a plan
[19:13] better than God.
[19:16] It doesn't matter
[19:16] how high your aspirations are.
[19:19] You cannot have a plan.
[19:20] You can't sit down
[19:21] and think
[19:22] and imagine
[19:23] and meditate
[19:24] and conceptualize
[19:26] and come up with a plan
[19:27] that is better than
[19:28] the plan God has
[19:29] for your life.
[19:30] Jeremiah chapter 1
[19:34] verse 5
[19:35] we know he said
[19:35] before I formed you
[19:36] I knew you
[19:37] and ordained you
[19:38] as a prophet.
[19:40] Galatians chapter 1
[19:40] verse 15 said
[19:41] it pleased the Lord
[19:42] who separated me
[19:43] in my mother's womb.
[19:44] So God
[19:45] is in the business.
[19:46] He thinks
[19:47] about these things.
[19:48] He knows them
[19:49] way before
[19:50] even you step
[19:52] into this world.
[19:54] The plan of God
[19:55] is his
[19:56] to put together
[19:58] and it is your responsibility
[20:00] is my responsibility
[20:01] to seek out
[20:02] for
[20:03] God's plan
[20:04] for our lives.
[20:06] And when you get
[20:07] that plan
[20:08] that is what gives you
[20:09] a vision.
[20:11] That is what gives you
[20:12] a vision.
[20:14] That now
[20:15] I know what I'm aiming for.
[20:17] I know where I'm going.
[20:18] I know where my end
[20:19] will be.
[20:20] Habakkuk chapter 2.
[20:21] And so Habakkuk chapter 2
[20:30] brings us to a place
[20:33] where
[20:33] from chapter 1
[20:36] Habakkuk goes to the Lord
[20:37] he said
[20:38] the burden
[20:38] which
[20:39] the prophet
[20:40] Habakkuk saw.
[20:42] Habakkuk approaches
[20:43] the Lord
[20:44] and says
[20:44] God
[20:47] there's too much
[20:48] evil going on
[20:49] all of this
[20:50] and God said
[20:51] yes
[20:51] I have planned
[20:53] to use the Babylonians
[20:54] and the Chaldeans
[20:55] all the Chaldeans
[20:56] the same people
[20:57] to come and execute
[20:58] my punishment
[20:59] on Judah.
[21:02] And
[21:03] God
[21:04] Habakkuk then says
[21:05] God
[21:05] that's not right.
[21:07] The Babylonians
[21:08] they are worse
[21:09] than us.
[21:10] Yes
[21:10] we have missed you
[21:11] we have like
[21:12] missed the mark
[21:13] we have gone astray.
[21:15] So if you're punishing us
[21:16] you're punishing us
[21:17] why are you going to use
[21:18] even worse people
[21:20] to come and use
[21:21] to punish us.
[21:22] It doesn't make sense.
[21:23] You know the way
[21:24] you are nice in church
[21:25] like this
[21:25] and God is
[21:26] using
[21:27] an unbeliever
[21:28] at work
[21:29] to punish you
[21:30] it's not nice.
[21:31] You never know
[21:32] what God is going to use.
[21:35] You can pray as much
[21:36] until he executes
[21:38] his purpose
[21:39] for that person
[21:41] being your life
[21:41] it will shock you
[21:42] how God is using
[21:44] like a proper
[21:45] unbeliever
[21:46] to chastise you.
[21:47] some of you
[21:49] that you are
[21:50] praying
[21:50] fasting about
[21:52] they are God's
[21:53] implant
[21:54] they are God
[21:55] that God
[21:55] that planted
[21:56] them there
[21:56] to clean you up
[21:58] the things
[22:00] your mother said
[22:00] you won't listen
[22:01] you came to church
[22:02] the pastor preached
[22:03] you won't listen
[22:04] your departmental leader
[22:05] said it
[22:05] you won't listen
[22:06] your Christian friends
[22:08] have told you
[22:08] you won't listen
[22:08] he will use
[22:09] the heathen
[22:09] to deal with you.
[22:11] Oh yes
[22:11] because it looks like
[22:12] that's the one
[22:13] you hear.
[22:13] God uses all kinds
[22:16] of things
[22:16] to help his children
[22:18] and sometimes
[22:19] the help you need
[22:20] is chastisement
[22:21] yes because
[22:23] you have a father
[22:24] a heavenly father
[22:26] it's one of his
[22:27] key jobs
[22:28] is to chastise
[22:29] to straighten you
[22:31] for greater
[22:33] things.
[22:34] So Habakkuk
[22:35] is saying that
[22:35] God this is not right
[22:36] this is not fair
[22:37] how can you use
[22:38] and God said
[22:40] oh don't worry
[22:41] I have a plan
[22:42] I have a vision
[22:43] so that was
[22:45] what brings us
[22:45] to chapter 2
[22:46] it said
[22:47] and so Habakkuk
[22:48] now goes back
[22:50] to God
[22:50] after God
[22:50] responds to him
[22:51] and said
[22:51] oh okay
[22:53] I will stand
[22:54] on my watch
[22:55] and set myself
[22:58] on the ramparts
[22:59] and watch to see
[23:02] what he will say
[23:02] to me
[23:03] and what I will
[23:05] answer
[23:05] when I am
[23:06] corrected
[23:07] then the Lord
[23:08] answered me
[23:09] and said
[23:10] write the vision
[23:11] and make it
[23:13] plain
[23:13] on tablets
[23:14] that he may run
[23:16] who reads it
[23:17] for the vision
[23:18] is yet for an
[23:19] appointed time
[23:19] but in the end
[23:21] it will speak
[23:22] and it will not
[23:23] lie
[23:23] though it
[23:25] tarries
[23:25] wait for it
[23:27] because it
[23:28] will surely
[23:29] come
[23:29] it will not
[23:31] tarry
[23:32] behold
[23:33] the proud
[23:34] his soul
[23:35] is not upright
[23:35] in him
[23:36] but
[23:37] the just
[23:38] shall live
[23:39] by his faith
[23:41] amen
[23:41] and so
[23:44] God is about
[23:45] to unveil
[23:46] a vision
[23:46] of how
[23:48] he's also
[23:48] going to deal
[23:49] with the
[23:50] childians
[23:50] or the
[23:51] Babylonians
[23:52] to
[23:53] Habakkuk
[23:54] Habakkuk has
[23:55] come to him
[23:56] with a complaint
[23:56] and so
[23:57] there is a
[23:58] certain transaction
[23:59] that needs to
[23:59] happen between
[24:00] God and
[24:00] Habakkuk
[24:01] for that
[24:02] unveiling to
[24:04] happen
[24:04] so Habakkuk
[24:05] makes a
[24:06] commitment
[24:06] just as he
[24:06] made the
[24:07] commitment
[24:07] to go to
[24:08] God
[24:08] to complain
[24:10] about what
[24:10] was going
[24:11] on in
[24:11] Judah
[24:12] and God
[24:12] said no
[24:13] I have a
[24:13] solution
[24:13] the Babylonians
[24:14] are coming
[24:15] and then he
[24:16] finds out that
[24:17] God this
[24:18] your solution
[24:18] is not
[24:18] righteous
[24:19] it's no
[24:20] good
[24:20] you can't
[24:21] use evil
[24:22] people
[24:22] to punish
[24:23] halfway
[24:24] evil people
[24:25] it can be
[24:26] we are bad
[24:27] but we are
[24:27] not that bad
[24:28] and then God
[24:29] said wait
[24:30] now we have
[24:31] to have
[24:32] another
[24:32] transaction
[24:33] communication
[24:33] for you to
[24:34] understand
[24:35] my whole
[24:36] plan
[24:37] my whole
[24:37] vision
[24:37] so he
[24:38] said I
[24:39] will
[24:39] just as at
[24:40] the beginning
[24:40] he approached
[24:41] God
[24:41] again he had
[24:42] to approach
[24:43] God
[24:43] for you to
[24:44] get a
[24:44] godly vision
[24:44] you must
[24:45] make a
[24:46] personal
[24:46] commitment
[24:46] and take
[24:48] responsibility
[24:48] of getting
[24:50] to know
[24:50] God
[24:50] regarding
[24:52] his vision
[24:52] for your
[24:53] life
[24:53] you must
[24:56] take personal
[24:56] responsibility
[24:56] we are in a
[24:57] generation where
[24:57] everybody wants
[24:59] a leader
[24:59] a pastor
[25:01] to counsel
[25:02] them on
[25:02] everything
[25:03] they need
[25:03] to do
[25:04] it's a
[25:05] shock
[25:05] I'm surprised
[25:06] how we got
[25:07] here
[25:08] a church
[25:08] that has
[25:09] you have
[25:09] so much
[25:10] teaching
[25:10] you don't
[25:13] read your
[25:13] bible to
[25:14] say ah
[25:14] I have
[25:15] received
[25:15] insight
[25:16] regarding
[25:17] the
[25:17] smarter
[25:17] no
[25:19] everything
[25:20] somebody has
[25:21] to tell
[25:21] you
[25:21] doesn't have
[25:23] to be like
[25:23] that
[25:23] you have
[25:24] access to
[25:25] God
[25:25] God speaks
[25:26] to all his
[25:27] children
[25:27] all of us
[25:29] so Habakkuk
[25:31] made his own
[25:31] commitment
[25:32] he said
[25:32] I will
[25:33] he made
[25:34] a decision
[25:34] he made
[25:37] a personal
[25:38] commitment
[25:38] and what
[25:40] would he
[25:40] do
[25:40] he said
[25:41] I will
[25:42] stand
[25:42] my
[25:43] watch
[25:44] and set
[25:46] myself
[25:48] the responsibility
[25:48] was his
[25:49] he will be
[25:51] the one
[25:51] paying the
[25:52] price
[25:53] you want
[25:55] your pastor
[25:55] to go on
[25:55] waiting and
[25:56] come and
[25:56] tell you
[25:57] your future
[25:57] your pastor
[25:59] should pray
[26:00] so that when
[26:01] he comes
[26:01] he can see
[26:02] this is the
[26:03] person you
[26:03] marry
[26:04] this is how
[26:04] your children
[26:04] will be
[26:04] that's how
[26:06] we like
[26:06] it
[26:06] you want
[26:07] direction
[26:08] revelations
[26:10] when there's
[26:11] a move
[26:11] you can't
[26:11] wait to
[26:12] be touched
[26:12] just in case
[26:13] when you're
[26:13] touched
[26:13] maybe there
[26:14] will be a
[26:14] word for
[26:15] you
[26:15] we love
[26:16] it
[26:16] but he
[26:17] said
[26:18] I
[26:18] will stand
[26:20] on my
[26:20] watch
[26:21] I
[26:22] will set
[26:23] myself
[26:24] on a
[26:25] rampart
[26:25] a required
[26:27] separation
[26:29] Mark
[26:30] chapter 1
[26:31] verse 35
[26:32] Jesus went
[26:32] out to
[26:32] solitary
[26:33] places
[26:34] to pray
[26:35] he will
[26:37] separate
[26:37] himself
[26:38] because he
[26:39] needed
[26:39] to hear
[26:40] from God
[26:42] had communion
[26:42] with him
[26:43] so there
[26:45] required a
[26:46] standing
[26:46] required a
[26:48] setting
[26:48] the watch
[26:50] man watched
[26:51] in the dark
[26:52] seasons
[26:53] and in the
[26:54] dark time
[26:54] so night
[26:55] time
[26:55] would be the
[26:56] time that the
[26:56] watch man
[26:57] would have to
[26:58] be alert
[26:59] and be awake
[26:59] and the job
[27:00] of the watch
[27:01] man was to
[27:01] raise an
[27:02] alarm
[27:02] in case
[27:04] there's
[27:04] enemy
[27:04] attack
[27:05] and the
[27:06] bible
[27:06] encourages
[27:06] christians
[27:07] actually to
[27:08] be watchful
[27:08] to be
[27:10] watchful
[27:10] it is the
[27:11] christian's
[27:12] duty to
[27:12] be watchful
[27:13] watchful in
[27:14] different
[27:14] things
[27:14] he said
[27:15] watch and
[27:15] pray
[27:16] because it
[27:17] helps you
[27:17] not to
[27:17] fall into
[27:17] temptation
[27:18] so when it
[27:19] comes to
[27:19] temptation
[27:20] there's a
[27:20] way you
[27:21] need to
[27:21] conduct
[27:22] he said
[27:22] be watchful
[27:23] but don't
[27:24] only watch
[27:25] be prayerful
[27:26] you would
[27:27] avoid
[27:27] avoid
[27:27] temptation
[27:27] temptation
[27:28] you would
[27:28] Matthew
[27:30] chapter 24
[27:31] verse 32
[27:31] said
[27:32] watch for
[27:33] you do
[27:34] not know
[27:34] the day
[27:34] which the
[27:35] lord will
[27:35] come
[27:35] there's
[27:36] another
[27:36] kind of
[27:37] watch
[27:37] for your
[27:38] own self
[27:39] that watch
[27:40] because
[27:41] the lord
[27:41] is going
[27:42] to come
[27:42] like a
[27:42] thief
[27:42] in the
[27:43] night
[27:43] so be
[27:44] watchful
[27:44] meaning
[27:45] that you
[27:46] have to
[27:46] order your
[27:46] life in
[27:47] a certain
[27:47] way
[27:47] in
[27:48] expectation
[27:48] that he
[27:49] can come
[27:49] at any
[27:49] time
[27:50] that's a
[27:50] certain
[27:51] kind
[27:51] of being
[27:51] watchful
[27:52] revelation
[27:54] chapter 16
[27:55] verse 15
[27:56] it said
[27:56] behold
[27:56] I'm
[27:57] coming
[27:57] like a
[27:57] thief
[27:57] blessed
[27:58] is the
[27:58] one
[27:59] who
[27:59] remains
[27:59] awake
[28:00] and
[28:00] clothed
[28:01] 1 Peter
[28:01] chapter 5
[28:02] verse 8
[28:03] NLT
[28:04] stay
[28:06] alert
[28:07] watch out
[28:08] for your
[28:09] great
[28:10] enemy
[28:10] the devil
[28:11] he prowls
[28:13] around like
[28:14] a roaring
[28:15] lion
[28:15] seeking
[28:16] for someone
[28:17] to devour
[28:18] he said
[28:18] stay
[28:19] alert
[28:19] and watch
[28:20] out
[28:20] another
[28:21] watch
[28:22] is the
[28:22] devices
[28:22] of the
[28:23] enemy
[28:23] the
[28:24] enemy
[28:24] and his
[28:25] games
[28:25] and his
[28:25] trickery
[28:26] he said
[28:26] watch
[28:26] that one
[28:27] too
[28:27] so watch
[28:28] in prayer
[28:29] don't fall
[28:29] into temptation
[28:30] watch for
[28:31] the day
[28:31] of the
[28:31] Lord
[28:31] watch
[28:33] that you
[28:33] are awake
[28:34] and you
[28:34] are not
[28:35] found naked
[28:36] but also
[28:37] watch your
[28:38] enemy
[28:38] watch out
[28:39] for your
[28:40] enemy
[28:40] there's a
[28:42] certain
[28:42] level of
[28:43] alertness
[28:43] that the
[28:43] Lord
[28:44] needs
[28:45] for us
[28:45] to have
[28:46] I said
[28:48] earlier on
[28:49] that the
[28:49] duty of the
[28:49] watchman
[28:50] is so
[28:50] that when
[28:51] an enemy
[28:51] is coming
[28:52] they can
[28:52] alert the
[28:53] city
[28:53] that there's
[28:55] an attack
[28:55] on its
[28:55] way
[28:56] so all
[28:57] these
[28:57] watches
[28:57] are important
[28:58] to make
[28:59] sure that
[28:59] you
[29:00] navigate
[29:01] safely
[29:02] as you
[29:03] walk
[29:04] in your
[29:04] Christian
[29:04] life
[29:05] also
[29:06] he said
[29:07] that he
[29:07] will set
[29:08] himself
[29:08] on the
[29:09] rampart
[29:09] that is
[29:10] a location
[29:11] on the
[29:11] top of
[29:12] the city
[29:12] so the
[29:12] watchman
[29:13] will usually
[29:13] stand
[29:14] at the
[29:15] city wall
[29:16] they have
[29:17] posts on the
[29:18] city wall
[29:18] so that it
[29:19] gives you
[29:19] height
[29:20] to see
[29:20] well
[29:20] but also
[29:21] it's a
[29:21] separation
[29:22] Revelation
[29:24] chapter 4
[29:25] verse 1
[29:25] he said
[29:25] I come
[29:26] up
[29:26] hither
[29:27] there's
[29:28] no way
[29:29] you can
[29:29] be
[29:29] watching
[29:30] down
[29:31] in the
[29:31] city
[29:31] in your
[29:32] bedroom
[29:32] whatever
[29:32] so if
[29:34] somebody
[29:34] is going
[29:34] to be
[29:34] a
[29:34] watchman
[29:35] he needs
[29:36] to climb
[29:36] up the
[29:37] city wall
[29:37] and set
[29:38] himself
[29:38] on one
[29:39] of those
[29:39] posts
[29:39] and that's
[29:41] not the
[29:41] place where
[29:42] people are
[29:42] having
[29:42] parties
[29:43] that's
[29:43] not the
[29:44] place
[29:44] you have
[29:44] in your
[29:44] family
[29:45] meetings
[29:45] and gatherings
[29:46] it's
[29:46] usually
[29:47] one man
[29:48] per
[29:48] posts
[29:48] you have
[29:49] the area
[29:50] you're looking
[29:50] at
[29:51] somebody's
[29:51] looking
[29:51] westward
[29:52] somebody's
[29:53] looking
[29:53] eastward
[29:53] northward
[29:54] southward
[29:54] that's
[29:55] how
[29:55] and so
[29:55] it's
[29:56] usually
[29:56] a lonely
[29:57] thing
[29:57] so it's
[29:58] a time
[29:58] of separation
[29:59] I mean
[30:00] this is
[30:01] what it
[30:01] means for
[30:01] you to
[30:02] say that
[30:02] write
[30:03] the vision
[30:03] this is
[30:04] the positioning
[30:05] that Habakkuk
[30:07] knew that he
[30:08] had to take
[30:09] before God
[30:10] will respond
[30:10] to him
[30:10] to show
[30:11] him
[30:11] so he
[30:13] stood up
[30:14] and go
[30:15] on his
[30:15] watch
[30:16] as Christians
[30:17] you should
[30:17] have times
[30:18] where
[30:19] all noises
[30:21] shut
[30:22] you shut
[30:23] noise
[30:23] around you
[30:25] in order
[30:26] to be able
[30:26] to perceive
[30:27] what God
[30:29] is doing
[30:29] in your
[30:29] life
[30:30] what God
[30:30] wants to
[30:31] speak to
[30:31] you
[30:31] what direction
[30:32] he's taking
[30:33] you
[30:33] give you
[30:33] a certain
[30:34] vision
[30:34] a certain
[30:35] image
[30:36] of where
[30:37] he's taking
[30:37] you
[30:38] too much
[30:40] noise
[30:40] in our
[30:40] generation
[30:41] too much
[30:41] noise
[30:42] everywhere
[30:42] you pass
[30:43] there's
[30:43] noise
[30:44] sometimes
[30:45] it could
[30:46] even be
[30:47] good
[30:48] information
[30:49] good stuff
[30:50] but if
[30:52] God is
[30:52] talking
[30:52] you won't
[30:53] hear
[30:53] we need
[30:54] to have
[30:55] times
[30:55] of separation
[30:56] it's good
[31:00] to listen
[31:00] to messages
[31:01] it's necessary
[31:02] to listen
[31:03] to messages
[31:04] it's good
[31:05] to listen
[31:05] to songs
[31:06] it's necessary
[31:06] to listen
[31:07] to songs
[31:07] it's good
[31:08] to continually
[31:09] feed yourself
[31:10] oh but
[31:12] boy
[31:12] there are
[31:13] things that
[31:13] God must
[31:14] tell you
[31:14] specifically
[31:15] how is he
[31:16] going to
[31:17] do it
[31:17] there's
[31:17] constant
[31:18] noise
[31:18] we're a
[31:19] generation
[31:20] that cannot
[31:20] remain
[31:21] silent
[31:21] there's no
[31:22] silence
[31:22] around us
[31:23] he said
[31:26] come up
[31:27] here
[31:27] and I'll
[31:29] show you
[31:30] things
[31:30] that must
[31:31] take place
[31:32] after this
[31:32] there is a
[31:34] certain
[31:34] separation
[31:35] that needs
[31:35] to take
[31:36] place
[31:36] that's
[31:37] when he's
[31:37] going to
[31:37] show you
[31:38] things
[31:38] that don't
[31:38] exist
[31:39] yet
[31:39] they are
[31:39] yet
[31:39] to come
[31:40] a lot
[31:42] of things
[31:42] you're
[31:42] receiving
[31:43] they already
[31:43] exist
[31:44] where does
[31:46] the freshness
[31:46] come from
[31:47] if we can't
[31:48] make space
[31:48] for God
[31:49] he was happy
[31:51] to wait
[31:52] on God
[31:52] the prophet
[31:53] Elijah
[31:54] goes to
[31:55] see God's
[31:55] face
[31:56] to hear
[31:57] God's
[31:57] voice
[31:58] and there
[32:00] are all
[32:00] manner of
[32:01] natural
[32:02] events
[32:02] happening
[32:03] and none
[32:04] of it
[32:04] had God
[32:04] in it
[32:05] until a
[32:06] still small
[32:07] voice
[32:07] still small
[32:10] voice
[32:10] he had
[32:12] separated
[32:12] himself
[32:13] because
[32:14] if you
[32:15] don't
[32:15] separate
[32:15] yourself
[32:16] you cannot
[32:17] hear
[32:18] the still
[32:19] small
[32:19] voice
[32:19] and for
[32:21] all of us
[32:21] it's within
[32:22] us
[32:22] the Holy
[32:23] Spirit
[32:23] as far as
[32:26] I've looked
[32:26] through
[32:26] scripture
[32:27] God doesn't
[32:28] shout
[32:28] he's no
[32:29] rude
[32:29] yeah
[32:32] as long
[32:33] as I've
[32:33] seen
[32:34] God is
[32:34] not
[32:34] making
[32:35] banging
[32:36] shouting
[32:36] this
[32:37] even
[32:40] Christ
[32:41] said
[32:41] I stand
[32:41] at the
[32:41] door
[32:42] and knock
[32:42] wow
[32:45] if
[32:45] yeah
[32:46] he's
[32:46] not
[32:46] badging
[32:47] in
[32:47] he's
[32:49] not
[32:49] he's
[32:49] oh
[32:49] our
[32:50] Jesus
[32:50] gentle
[32:52] Jesus
[32:52] become
[32:52] loud
[32:53] so
[32:55] sweet
[32:55] so
[32:57] sweet
[32:58] he said
[32:59] if anyone
[33:00] hears
[33:01] me
[33:01] wow
[33:02] and this
[33:02] is
[33:03] speaking
[33:03] to a
[33:03] church
[33:04] the
[33:04] church
[33:04] so
[33:05] behold
[33:06] I stand
[33:06] at the
[33:06] door
[33:07] and knock
[33:07] if anyone
[33:08] hears
[33:08] my voice
[33:09] and opens
[33:10] the door
[33:10] I will
[33:11] come
[33:11] to him
[33:12] and dine
[33:13] with him
[33:13] so it's
[33:13] possible
[33:14] that Jesus
[33:14] can be
[33:14] knocking
[33:15] and you
[33:15] don't
[33:15] hear
[33:15] that's
[33:17] what he
[33:18] said
[33:18] if
[33:18] if
[33:19] if
[33:20] he didn't
[33:21] say when
[33:22] he said
[33:22] if
[33:23] so there's
[33:23] a possibility
[33:24] that you
[33:24] won't
[33:25] hear
[33:25] why
[33:27] because
[33:27] they are
[33:27] inside
[33:27] doing
[33:28] their own
[33:28] thing
[33:28] they said
[33:30] today
[33:30] is
[33:31] dancing
[33:31] they are
[33:31] dancing
[33:32] Jesus
[33:32] said
[33:32] please
[33:32] can I
[33:33] can
[33:33] he said
[33:33] no we
[33:33] are
[33:33] dancing
[33:34] stand
[33:34] outside
[33:34] he was
[33:38] happy to
[33:39] wait on
[33:39] God
[33:39] because
[33:41] in
[33:41] Proverbs
[33:41] chapter 16
[33:42] verse 25
[33:42] he said
[33:43] there's a way
[33:43] that seems
[33:44] right
[33:44] but the end
[33:45] thereof is
[33:46] distraction
[33:47] and so
[33:49] yeah it
[33:49] looked right
[33:50] but it
[33:50] wasn't
[33:51] God
[33:51] John
[33:53] chapter 5
[33:54] verse 30
[33:54] he said
[33:55] I can't
[33:55] of myself
[33:55] do nothing
[33:56] this is
[33:57] Jesus
[33:57] speaking
[33:58] he only
[33:59] does
[33:59] what he
[33:59] sees
[34:00] the
[34:00] father
[34:00] do
[34:00] in
[34:03] Exodus
[34:04] chapter 13
[34:05] verse 21
[34:06] and 22
[34:08] it says
[34:10] and the
[34:10] Lord went
[34:10] before them
[34:11] by day
[34:12] in a

[35:31] Lord
[35:31] and
[35:32] did
[35:32] not
[35:33] journey
[35:33] so
[35:34] it
[35:34] was
[35:35] when
[35:35] the
[35:35] cloud
[35:35] was
[35:35] above
[35:36] the
[35:36] tabernacle
[35:37] a
[35:37] few
[35:37] days
[35:38] according

[35:42] command
[35:42] of
[35:43] the
[35:43] Lord
[35:43] they
[35:43] would
[35:44] journey
[35:44] so
[35:45] it
[35:45] was
[35:46] when
[35:46] the
[35:46] cloud
[35:47] remained
[35:47] only
[35:47] from
[35:48] evening
[35:48] until
[35:48] morning
[35:49] when
[35:50] the
[35:50] cloud
[35:50] was
[35:50] taken
[35:51] up
[35:51] in
[35:51] the
[35:51] morning
[35:52] then
[35:52] they
[35:52] would
[35:53] journey
[35:53] whether
[35:53] by
[35:54] day
[35:54] or
[35:54] night
[35:55] whenever
[35:55] the
[35:56] cloud
[35:56] was
[35:56] taken
[35:56] up
[35:57] they
[35:57] would
[35:57] journey
[35:58] whether
[35:59] it
[35:59] was
[35:59] two
[36:00] days
[36:00] look at
[36:01] this
[36:01] time
[36:02] wasn't
[36:02] there
[36:03] no
[36:03] we're
[36:04] not
[36:04] dealing
[36:04] with
[36:04] time
[36:04] here
[36:04] we're
[36:04] dealing
[36:05] with
[36:05] God
[36:05] here
[36:05] he
[36:06] said
[36:06] whether
[36:07] it
[36:07] was
[36:07] two
[36:07] days
[36:08] one
[36:08] month
[36:09] or
[36:09] one
[36:09] year
[36:10] that's
[36:10] why
[36:10] you
[36:10] were
[36:10] thinking
[36:10] how
[36:11] did
[36:11] it
[36:11] take
[36:11] 40
[36:12] years
[36:12] for
[36:13] them
[36:13] to
[36:13] journey
[36:13] for
[36:14] a
[36:14] 40
[36:14] day
[36:14] this
[36:15] is
[36:15] what
[36:15] it
[36:15] was
[36:15] this
[36:16] is
[36:17] it
[36:17] sometimes
[36:18] it
[36:18] took
[36:18] two
[36:18] days
[36:18] sometimes
[36:19] it
[36:19] was
[36:20] one
[36:20] month
[36:20] sometimes
[36:21] the
[36:21] whole
[36:21] year
[36:21] staying
[36:22] at
[36:22] one
[36:22] place
[36:22] they
[36:22] don't
[36:22] know
[36:23] why
[36:23] but
[36:24] they
[36:24] guess
[36:24] that
[36:24] the
[36:24] cloud
[36:25] has
[36:25] not
[36:26] moved
[36:26] that's
[36:28] what
[36:29] it
[36:29] means
[36:29] by
[36:29] God
[36:29] ordering
[36:30] your
[36:30] steps
[36:30] he
[36:31] has
[36:31] not
[36:31] moved
[36:32] !
[36:32] if
[36:32] he
[36:33] doesn't
[36:33] move
[36:33] we
[36:40] we
[36:41] are
[36:41] only
[36:41] going
[36:42] because
[36:42] you
[36:42] are
[36:42] going
[36:43] you
[36:44] are
[36:44] only
[36:44] moving
[36:44] because
[36:45] we
[36:45] are
[36:45] moving
[36:45] God
[36:46] is
[36:47] on
[36:47] the
[36:47] move
[36:47] when
[36:48] he
[36:49] settles
[36:49] we
[36:49] settle
[36:50] when
[36:50] he
[36:51] moves
[36:51] we
[36:51] move
[36:52] that
[36:53] is
[36:53] how
[36:53] the
[36:53] Christian's
[36:54] life
[36:54] should
[36:54] be
[36:54] nobody
[36:55] is
[36:56] in a
[36:56] rush
[36:56] God
[36:57] is
[36:57] never
[36:57] behind
[36:58] God
[36:58] is
[36:59] never
[36:59] ahead
[36:59] you
[36:59] cannot
[37:00] be
[37:00] behind
[37:00] you
[37:01] cannot
[37:01] be
[37:01] ahead
[37:01] you
[37:02] just
[37:02] have
[37:02] to
[37:02] be
[37:02] on
[37:03] time
[37:03] with
[37:03] him
[37:03] in
[37:04] step
[37:04] with
[37:04] him
[37:04] that's
[37:05] how
[37:05] you
[37:05] walk
[37:05] with
[37:06] God
[37:06] they
[37:09] did
[37:09] not
[37:09] journey
[37:10] until
[37:10] the
[37:11] Lord
[37:11] moved
[37:11] when
[37:13] God
[37:14] speaks
[37:14] most
[37:16] often
[37:16] you
[37:17] see
[37:17] pictures
[37:18] you
[37:21] see
[37:21] images
[37:22] of
[37:22] what
[37:22] God
[37:23] is
[37:23] saying
[37:23] he
[37:26] said
[37:26] I
[37:27] will
[37:28] watch
[37:28] to
[37:28] see
[37:28] so
[37:29] he
[37:29] is
[37:29] saying
[37:30] but
[37:31] it
[37:31] is
[37:31] in
[37:31] pictures
[37:32] in
[37:33] creation
[37:34] he
[37:34] spoke
[37:35] and
[37:36] we
[37:36] saw
[37:36] so
[37:39] when
[37:39] God
[37:39] is
[37:39] speaking
[37:40] be
[37:40] ready
[37:40] to
[37:41] see
[37:41] you
[37:43] must
[37:43] be
[37:44] open
[37:44] to
[37:44] see
[37:45] if
[37:46] God
[37:46] is
[37:46] speaking
[37:47] when
[37:47] God
[37:47] is
[37:47] speaking
[37:48] so
[37:51] sometimes
[37:51] you're
[37:51] praying
[37:52] about
[37:52] a
[37:52] thing
[37:52] and
[37:53] you
[37:53] begin
[37:53] to
[37:54] see
[37:54] images
[37:54] God
[37:55] is
[37:55] speaking
[37:55] God
[37:57] is
[37:57] speaking
[37:57] if
[37:58] you
[37:58] truly
[37:58] prayed
[37:58] about
[37:59] it
[37:59] God
[38:00] is
[38:00] speaking
[38:01] open
[38:01] your
[38:02] spirit
[38:02] man
[38:02] up
[38:02] let's
[38:04] not
[38:04] be
[38:04] people
[38:05] who
[38:05] don't
[38:05] know
[38:05] how
[38:05] to
[38:06] walk
[38:06] with
[38:06] God
[38:06] who
[38:08] don't
[38:08] know
[38:08] how
[38:08] to
[38:08] receive
[38:09] from
[38:09] God
[38:09] don't
[38:10] know
[38:10] only
[38:10] the
[38:11] letter
[38:11] know
[38:13] the
[38:13] ways
[38:13] of
[38:14] God
[38:14] you
[38:16] must
[38:16] know
[38:16] the
[38:16] ways
[38:17] of
[38:17] God
[38:17] there's
[38:18] a
[38:18] way
[38:18] God
[38:19] conducts
[38:19] things
[38:19] don't
[38:22] only
[38:22] quote
[38:22] scripture
[38:23] know
[38:24] to
[38:24] have
[38:24] a
[38:24] revelation
[38:25] of
[38:25] how
[38:26] God
[38:26] does
[38:27] things
[38:27] and
[38:30] so
[38:30] he
[38:30] said
[38:30] I
[38:30] will
[38:30] stand
[38:31] and
[38:32] I
[38:32] will
[38:33] watch
[38:33] to
[38:33] see
[38:33] what
[38:34] he
[38:34] will
[38:35] say
[38:35] and
[38:36] what
[38:36] I
[38:36] will
[38:37] answer
[38:37] when
[38:39] I
[38:40] am
[38:40] corrected
[38:40] he
[38:40] made
[38:41] room
[38:41] for
[38:41] God
[38:41] just
[38:42] in
[38:42] case
[38:42] when
[38:43] God
[38:43] spoke
[38:44] to
[38:44] Abraham
[38:44] in
[38:44] Genesis
[38:45] chapter
[38:45] 15
[38:45] he
[38:46] had
[38:47] given
[38:47] him
[38:47] a
[38:47] promise
[38:48] that
[38:49] he
[38:49] will
[38:49] bless
[38:50] him
[38:50] and
[38:51] his
[38:52] descendants
[38:53] and
[38:54] then
[38:54] he
[38:54] took
[38:55] him
[38:55] out
[38:55] said
[38:56] let
[38:57] me
[38:57] just
[38:57] show
[38:57] you
[38:57] what
[38:57] I'm
[38:58] talking
[38:58] about
[38:58] he
[39:00] took
[39:00] him
[39:00] out
[39:01] to
[39:01] see
[39:01] and
[39:02] the
[39:02] Lord
[39:02] brought
[39:03] him
[39:03] outside
[39:03] and
[39:03] said
[39:04] now
[39:04] look
[39:04] towards
[39:05] heaven
[39:05] count
[39:06] the
[39:07] stars
[39:07] count
[39:09] the
[39:09] stars
[39:10] if
[39:10] you
[39:10] are
[39:11] able
[39:11] to
[39:11] number
[39:11] them
[39:12] and
[39:12] he
[39:13] said
[39:13] so
[39:14] shall
[39:14] your
[39:14] descendants
[39:15] be
[39:15] look
[39:16] when
[39:17] it's
[39:17] different
[39:18] with
[39:18] that
[39:18] you
[39:19] can
[39:19] never
[39:19] forget
[39:20] it
[39:22] will
[39:22] be
[39:22] imprinted
[39:23] in
[39:23] your
[39:23] heart
[39:23] nothing
[39:24] can
[39:25] take
[39:25] that
[39:25] vision
[39:25] away
[39:26] from
[39:26] you
[39:26] you
[39:27] must
[39:27] believe
[39:28] God
[39:28] to
[39:28] see
[39:28] beyond
[39:29] what
[39:29] you
[39:29] have
[39:29] heard
[39:30] what
[39:30] you
[39:31] hear
[39:31] you
[39:31] must
[39:31] see
[39:32] you
[39:32] must
[39:32] see
[39:32] it
[39:32] with
[39:33] the
[39:34] eye
[39:34] of
[39:34] your
[39:34] spirit

[39:38] no

[39:40] can
[39:40] steal
[39:40] that
[39:41] from
[39:41] you
[39:41] people
[39:44] of
[39:44] God
[39:44] there's
[39:45] a way
[39:45] to
[39:45] walk
[39:46] with
[39:46] God
[39:46] you
[39:47] cannot
[39:47] be
[39:47] a
[39:47] chippery
[39:48] you
[39:49] cannot
[39:49] be
[39:49] subject
[39:50] to

[39:51] anybody
[39:52] says
[39:52] something
[39:53] must
[39:57] your
[39:57] circumstance
[39:58] more
[39:59] than
[39:59] what
[39:59] people
[39:59] think
[40:00] about
[40:00] you
[40:00] you
[40:00] must
[40:01] see
[40:01] a
[40:02] vision
[40:02] the
[40:02] Lord
[40:02] has
[40:02] given
[40:03] you
[40:03] about
[40:04] your
[40:04] life
[40:04] you
[40:05] must
[40:05] see
[40:06] you
[40:07] must
[40:07] take
[40:08] time
[40:08] to
[40:10] go
[40:11] figure
[40:11] out
[40:11] what
[40:12] God
[40:13] is
[40:13] saying
[40:13] about
[40:14] you
[40:15] it
[40:16] is
[40:16] your
[40:17] responsibility
[40:17] God
[40:18] is
[40:19] too
[40:19] interested
[40:19] in
[40:19] your
[40:19] life
[40:20] he
[40:21] hasn't
[40:21] saved
[40:22] you
[40:22] just
[40:22] to
[40:22] leave
[40:23] it
[40:23] just
[40:23] like
[40:23] anything
[40:24] I
[40:25] don't
[40:26] believe
[40:26] it
[40:26] the
[40:27] blood
[40:27] is
[40:27] too
[40:27] precious
[40:28] for
[40:30] it
[40:31] to
[40:31] be
[40:31] wasted
[40:31] there's
[40:33] more
[40:34] to
[40:34] your
[40:34] salvation
[40:35] don't
[40:36] enter
[40:36] church
[40:37] and
[40:37] just
[40:37] sit
[40:37] down
[40:37] that
[40:38] I've
[40:38] made
[40:38] it
[40:38] I've
[40:39] arrived
[40:39] my sins
[40:39] are
[40:40] forgiven
[40:40] it's
[40:40] okay
[40:40] there's
[40:41] more
[40:42] in
[40:42] Christ
[40:43] and
[40:43] the
[40:44] ones
[40:44] that
[40:44] I
[40:44] don't
[40:44] understand
[40:45] is
[40:45] those
[40:45] who
[40:45] are
[40:45] playing
[40:46] around
[40:46] with
[40:46] the
[40:46] devil
[40:46] with
[40:47] petty
[40:47] sins
[40:47] you're
[40:49] wasting
[40:49] time
[40:49] you're
[40:51] wasting
[40:51] precious
[40:52] time
[40:52] you don't
[40:55] understand
[40:55] the cost
[40:56] of
[40:56] these
[40:56] things
[40:57] you should
[40:59] value
[41:00] your life
[41:01] so much
[41:02] and what
[41:02] God has
[41:02] to do
[41:03] in your
[41:03] life
[41:03] so much
[41:04] that you
[41:04] cannot
[41:05] tolerate
[41:05] petty
[41:06] sins
[41:06] that has
[41:08] been my
[41:09] conviction
[41:09] from my
[41:10] youth
[41:10] this
[41:12] is not
[41:13] worth
[41:14] what God
[41:15] is doing
[41:15] in my
[41:15] life
[41:16] it's not
[41:17] worth it
[41:18] this compromise
[41:20] is not
[41:20] worth it
[41:21] you take
[41:23] time
[41:23] and you
[41:23] examine
[41:24] it
[41:24] for what
[41:25] it is
[41:26] compare
[41:27] it
[41:27] to what
[41:28] God
[41:28] is doing
[41:29] what God
[41:29] has shown
[41:30] you
[41:30] you will
[41:31] know
[41:31] what choice
[41:32] to make
[41:32] but if
[41:34] you don't
[41:35] have it
[41:35] you are
[41:36] cheap
[41:36] prey
[41:37] for
[41:37] anything
[41:38] and
[41:39] anybody

[42:28] of
[42:28] we just

[42:29] that
[42:29] it will
[42:29] glorify
[42:30] God
[42:30] for
[42:31] but we
[42:32] don't
[42:32] know
[42:32] the

[43:00] it
[43:00] takes
[43:00] to
[43:02] settle
[43:02] with
[43:02] God
[43:03] these
[43:04] serious
[43:05] matters
[43:06] a lot
[43:07] of people
[43:07] will come
[43:07] to church
[43:08] in and
[43:08] now
[43:08] in and
[43:08] now
[43:09] in and
[43:09] now
[43:09] and
[43:10] don't
[43:12] really
[43:12] come
[43:13] into
[43:13] full
[43:14] realization
[43:15] and
[43:16] manifestation
[43:16] of
[43:17] God's
[43:17] actual
[43:18] plan
[43:18] and
[43:19] vision
[43:19] for
[43:19] their
[43:19] lives
[43:20] it
[43:21] happens
[43:21] to so
[43:21] many
[43:21] Christians
[43:22] because
[43:23] of the
[43:24] discipline
[43:24] of
[43:25] stand
[43:26] upon
[43:26] my
[43:26] watch
[43:26] set
[43:27] myself
[43:28] upon
[43:28] the
[43:28] rampart
[43:29] to
[43:29] see
[43:30] what
[43:30] he
[43:30] would
[43:30] say
[43:30] just
[43:31] dab
[43:31] it
[43:31] dab
[43:32] it
[43:33] dab
[43:34] it
[43:34] is
[43:35] what
[43:35] determine
[43:35] right
[43:36] vision
[43:36] right
[43:39] the
[43:40] vision
[43:40] a lot
[43:41] of
[43:41] Christians
[43:42] it's
[43:42] that
[43:42] bit
[43:42] we
[43:43] don't
[43:43] want
[43:43] to
[43:43] do
[43:43] it
[43:43] but
[43:45] it
[43:45] has
[43:45] the
[43:46] key
[43:46] to
[43:46] your
[43:46] destiny
[43:47] it
[43:50] has
[43:50] the
[43:50] key
[43:51] to
[43:51] your
[43:51] destiny
[43:51] so
[43:54] the
[43:55] Lord
[43:55] answered
[43:55] me
[43:56] and
[43:56] said
[43:56] right
[43:57] the
[43:57] vision
[43:57] vision
[43:59] is
[44:00] powerful
[44:00] I
[44:00] said
[44:01] earlier
[44:01] on
[44:01] it's
[44:02] powerful
[44:02] it
[44:04] has
[44:05] the
[44:05] ability
[44:05] to
[44:05] generate
[44:06] focus
[44:06] when
[44:07] you
[44:07] see
[44:08] a
[44:08] man
[44:08] with
[44:08] a
[44:08] vision
[44:08] they
[44:09] strive
[44:09] differently
[44:10] when
[44:12] you
[44:12] see
[44:12] a
[44:12] person
[44:12] without
[44:13] vision
[44:13] you
[44:14] know
[44:14] how
[44:14] they
[44:14] live
[44:14] their
[44:14] lives
[44:15] every
[44:16] wind
[44:16] they
[44:17] can
[44:17] be
[44:17] blown
[44:17] by
[44:17] every
[44:18] wind
[44:18] vision
[44:21] gives
[44:22] structure
[44:22] to
[44:23] your
[44:23] life
[44:24] structure
[44:26] it
[44:26] gives
[44:27] stability
[44:27] it
[44:29] informs
[44:29] your
[44:30] attitude
[44:30] and
[44:30] your
[44:30] actions
[44:31] it
[44:34] helps
[44:35] you to
[44:35] make
[44:35] the
[44:35] right
[44:35] decisions
[44:36] it
[44:39] helps
[44:39] you
[44:39] to
[44:39] save
[44:39] time
[44:40] it
[44:42] helps
[44:42] you
[44:42] to
[44:42] put
[44:42] value
[44:43] on
[44:43] the
[44:43] important
[44:44] things
[44:44] you
[44:46] major
[44:46] on
[44:46] the
[44:46] majors
[44:47] and
[44:47] minor
[44:47] on
[44:47] the
[44:47] minors
[44:48] it's
[44:49] important
[44:50] but vision
[44:50] will give
[44:51] you that
[44:51] it will
[44:53] align
[44:54] you
[44:54] it will
[44:55] focus
[44:55] you
[44:56] it will
[44:56] bring
[44:57] order
[44:57] in your
[44:58] life
[44:58] when you
[44:59] look at
[44:59] the
[44:59] creation
[45:00] order
[45:00] God
[45:01] knew
[45:01] that at
[45:02] the end
[45:02] man
[45:02] will come
[45:03] a man
[45:03] will need
[45:04] all these
[45:04] things
[45:05] so he
[45:05] knew
[45:06] where he
[45:06] had to
[45:06] start
[45:07] vision
[45:07] there was
[45:10] clarity
[45:10] of purpose
[45:11] so he
[45:12] had to
[45:13] make sure
[45:13] the light
[45:14] comes first
[45:15] even the
[45:15] trees came
[45:16] before the
[45:16] animals
[45:17] look at
[45:17] wisdom
[45:17] how much
[45:20] more
[45:20] man
[45:20] so by
[45:23] the time
[45:23] man
[45:23] came
[45:24] man
[45:25] couldn't
[45:26] help
[45:26] but I
[45:26] appreciate
[45:27] how God
[45:28] created
[45:29] vision
[45:30] will generate
[45:31] momentum
[45:31] wisdom
[45:32] because
[45:33] he said
[45:34] write
[45:34] the
[45:35] vision
[45:35] some
[45:36] of you
[45:36] don't
[45:36] like
[45:36] writing
[45:37] there's
[45:37] not only
[45:38] writing
[45:38] on paper
[45:39] there are
[45:39] times you
[45:40] need to
[45:40] sit down
[45:40] you have
[45:41] different ways
[45:42] of writing
[45:42] today
[45:43] you type
[45:44] you do
[45:44] things
[45:44] but when
[45:45] God
[45:45] put things
[45:45] in your
[45:46] heart
[45:46] it has
[45:46] to be
[45:46] put down
[45:47] somewhere
[45:47] some
[45:49] of it
[45:49] has to
[45:49] be
[45:49] converted
[45:50] to a
[45:50] prayer
[45:50] point
[45:51] that you
[45:52] pray
[45:53] about
[45:53] some
[45:54] of it
[45:54] needs
[45:54] to be
[45:55] put
[45:55] somewhere
[45:55] so that
[45:56] you
[45:56] can
[45:56] read
[45:57] it
[45:57] consistently
[45:58] remind
[45:59] !
[46:01] is that
[46:04] right
[46:04] the vision
[46:04] the vision
[46:05] is not
[46:05] just so
[46:06] okay
[46:06] okay
[46:06] okay
[46:07] it has
[46:07] shocked
[46:08] me
[46:08] the number
[46:08] of times
[46:09] I woke
[46:09] up
[46:09] and there
[46:09] was a
[46:10] fantastic
[46:10] idea
[46:11] in my
[46:11] head
[46:11] but I
[46:12] moved on
[46:13] to do
[46:13] other
[46:13] things
[46:13] and maybe
[46:15] two days
[46:15] later
[46:15] I said
[46:15] I remember
[46:16] there's
[46:17] some amazing
[46:18] idea
[46:18] I'm trying
[46:19] to recollect
[46:20] it
[46:20] all I
[46:21] remember
[46:21] it was
[46:22] amazing
[46:22] I can't
[46:24] I'm trying
[46:24] I'm even
[46:25] praying
[46:25] I didn't
[46:26] use wisdom
[46:27] I didn't
[46:28] apply it
[46:28] it's
[46:29] written
[46:29] write it
[46:30] down
[46:30] write it
[46:32] down
[46:32] when God
[46:33] gives you
[46:34] insight
[46:34] write it
[46:35] down
[46:35] you don't
[46:36] know the
[46:36] day he
[46:36] would
[46:37] perform
[46:37] it
[46:37] but it
[46:38] is
[46:38] written
[46:38] did
[46:41] Jesus
[46:41] not
[46:41] quote a
[46:42] lot of
[46:42] it
[46:42] is
[46:42] written
[46:42] you can
[46:46] imagine
[46:46] if it
[46:46] wasn't
[46:46] written
[46:47] you will
[46:50] have
[46:50] this
[46:50] but because
[46:52] it's
[46:52] written
[46:52] you can
[46:53] quote
[46:53] it
[46:53] you can
[46:55] declare
[46:55] it
[46:56] because
[46:57] it is
[46:57] written
[46:58] write
[46:59] some
[46:59] things
[47:00] down
[47:00] there has
[47:01] to be
[47:01] a certain
[47:01] kind
[47:02] of
[47:02] notebook
[47:02] no pad
[47:03] ipad
[47:04] whatever
[47:04] there's
[47:05] a page
[47:05] that when
[47:06] they go
[47:06] you see
[47:07] the oracles
[47:07] of your
[47:08] life
[47:08] the things
[47:10] date and
[47:11] time
[47:11] God said
[47:12] this
[47:12] date and
[47:13] time
[47:13] God said
[47:14] that
[47:14] a lot
[47:16] of great
[47:16] people who
[47:17] have done
[47:17] exploits with
[47:18] God
[47:18] they have
[47:18] those
[47:19] they have
[47:21] those
[47:21] they have
[47:22] those moments
[47:22] you can't
[47:24] just float
[47:25] in life
[47:25] and arrive
[47:25] at greatness
[47:26] it does
[47:28] not happen
[47:29] it doesn't
[47:30] matter how
[47:30] much
[47:30] you are
[47:30] praying
[47:31] in
[47:31] tongues
[47:31] your
[47:31] tongues
[47:32] will
[47:32] produce
[47:33] a certain
[47:34] message
[47:35] a certain
[47:35] vision
[47:35] a certain
[47:36] knowledge
[47:36] a certain
[47:36] understanding
[47:37] write them
[47:38] down
[47:38] he said
[47:42] make it
[47:42] plain on
[47:43] tablets
[47:43] there are
[47:47] tablets
[47:47] of notebooks
[47:48] there are
[47:49] tablets
[47:50] of electronic
[47:51] devices
[47:51] and there are
[47:52] tablets
[47:53] of hearts
[47:54] tablets
[47:56] of hearts
[47:57] write it
[47:59] down
[47:59] and make
[48:01] it plain
[48:01] how
[48:04] complicated
[48:04] you are
[48:04] doesn't
[48:05] mean that
[48:05] it's
[48:05] God
[48:05] when you
[48:08] are saying
[48:08] something
[48:08] it has
[48:08] to be so
[48:08] complicated
[48:09] so that
[48:09] it can
[48:10] be like
[48:10] yes
[48:10] step
[48:12] aside
[48:12] it doesn't
[48:15] mean anything
[48:15] we just
[48:16] mean that
[48:16] wow
[48:17] wow
[48:17] will you
[48:18] yield
[48:18] fruits
[48:18] we don't
[48:19] know
[48:20] oh
[48:20] you're
[48:21] wow
[48:21] there's
[48:21] no
[48:21] fruits
[48:22] step
[48:23] aside
[48:23] like no
[48:25] because it
[48:26] makes you
[48:26] think like
[48:26] makes you
[48:26] look powerful
[48:27] whatever
[48:27] we are
[48:28] not
[48:28] we are
[48:28] not
[48:28] afraid
[48:29] we are
[48:31] not
[48:31] afraid
[48:32] think about
[48:33] what actually
[48:33] brings forth
[48:34] fruits
[48:34] write the
[48:37] vision and
[48:37] make it
[48:38] plain
[48:38] on tablets
[48:39] why
[48:40] because the
[48:41] vision is
[48:42] supposed to
[48:43] produce a
[48:43] certain
[48:44] momentum
[48:44] it's supposed
[48:46] to propel
[48:46] you onto
[48:47] something
[48:47] so that he
[48:49] may run
[48:50] who reads
[48:50] it
[48:51] that's why
[48:52] it has to
[48:52] be plain
[48:52] he may
[48:55] run
[48:56] the vision
[48:56] is supposed
[48:57] to cause
[48:58] you to
[48:58] do
[48:58] something
[48:59] you are
[49:01] not going
[49:02] anywhere
[49:02] if you
[49:02] are
[49:02] static
[49:03] and so
[49:05] if you
[49:05] have a
[49:05] vision
[49:06] it's supposed
[49:06] to turn
[49:07] something
[49:08] into a
[49:09] certain
[49:09] action
[49:09] faith
[49:10] without
[49:10] action
[49:11] is
[49:12] dead
[49:12] 1st
[49:14] Corinthians
[49:15] chapter 9
[49:15] verse 24
[49:16] do you
[49:19] not know
[49:20] that those
[49:20] who run
[49:21] in a race
[49:21] all run
[49:22] but one
[49:24] receives
[49:24] the prize
[49:25] run in
[49:26] such a way
[49:27] that you
[49:27] may obtain
[49:28] it
[49:28] and everyone
[49:29] who competes
[49:30] for the
[49:30] prize
[49:31] is temperate
[49:32] in all
[49:32] things
[49:32] now they
[49:33] do not
[49:34] obtain a
[49:34] perishable
[49:35] crown
[49:35] they do
[49:36] obtain a
[49:36] perishable
[49:36] crown
[49:37] but we
[49:38] for an
[49:39] imperishable
[49:39] crown
[49:40] therefore
[49:41] I run
[49:42] fast
[49:42] not with
[49:43] uncertainty
[49:44] thus I
[49:45] fight
[49:46] thus I
[49:47] fight
[49:47] not as
[49:48] one who
[49:48] beats the
[49:49] air
[49:49] but I
[49:50] discipline
[49:50] my body
[49:51] and bring
[49:52] it under
[49:53] subjection
[49:54] lest when
[49:54] I have
[49:55] preached to
[49:56] others
[49:56] I myself
[49:58] should become
[49:59] disqualified
[50:00] the vision
[50:03] should bring
[50:05] momentum
[50:06] it said
[50:07] so that
[50:09] he who
[50:10] reads it
[50:10] will run
[50:11] and when you
[50:12] are running
[50:12] you are running
[50:13] to obtain
[50:14] and therefore
[50:16] it requires
[50:17] certain levels
[50:18] of discipline
[50:19] in order for
[50:20] you not to
[50:20] be disqualified
[50:21] and so for
[50:23] those of us
[50:24] who are
[50:25] fighting to
[50:25] God's vision
[50:26] for our
[50:27] lives
[50:27] and are
[50:28] ready to
[50:28] run
[50:28] have this
[50:30] at the
[50:30] back of
[50:31] your mind
[50:31] that in
[50:32] running
[50:32] you require
[50:33] discipline
[50:34] in order for
[50:34] you to
[50:35] obtain
[50:35] so people
[50:36] go all
[50:37] the way
[50:37] I want
[50:37] to do
[50:38] missions
[50:38] I want
[50:38] to do
[50:39] ministry
[50:39] you're
[50:39] doing
[50:39] it
[50:40] I want
[50:40] to do
[50:40] that
[50:40] but
[50:41] forget
[50:43] bringing
[50:44] yourself
[50:45] under
[50:45] subjection
[50:46] and that's
[50:48] how a lot
[50:48] of people
[50:49] in spite
[50:49] of the
[50:49] vision
[50:50] they go
[50:50] in spite
[50:51] of running
[50:52] don't obtain
[50:52] the prize
[50:53] because
[50:55] you have
[50:56] tolerated
[50:57] things
[50:58] that you
[50:59] should not
[50:59] tolerate
[50:59] recently
[51:00] we're
[51:01] reading
[51:01] math
[51:01] he said
[51:02] if your
[51:02] arm
[51:02] caught
[51:03] you
[51:03] cut it
[51:03] yeah
[51:05] he said
[51:05] be that
[51:06] brutal
[51:07] be that
[51:08] intolerant
[51:09] all the
[51:11] sins
[51:11] you are
[51:11] tolerating
[51:12] it is
[51:12] stealing
[51:12] your life
[51:13] and your
[51:13] destiny
[51:14] it's
[51:15] as simple
[51:15] as that
[51:16] it doesn't
[51:16] matter
[51:17] how you
[51:17] embellish
[51:17] it
[51:18] God
[51:18] understands
[51:18] of course
[51:19] he
[51:19] understands
[51:19] you're
[51:20] not the
[51:20] first
[51:20] person
[51:20] he's
[51:20] seen
[51:21] and you
[51:21] also
[51:22] know
[51:22] the
[51:22] first
[51:22] person
[51:22] who
[51:22] missed
[51:23] out
[51:23] on
[51:23] destiny
[51:23] it doesn't
[51:24] matter
[51:24] yeah
[51:26] it doesn't
[51:27] matter
[51:27] you're
[51:27] not the
[51:27] first
[51:27] person
[51:28] who
[51:28] missed
[51:28] out
[51:28] on
[51:28] destiny
[51:28] so
[51:29] he
[51:29] understands
[51:29] he
[51:30] understands
[51:30] that
[51:30] you
[51:31] missed
[51:31] out
[51:31] on
[51:31] destiny
[51:32] replacement
[51:33] is
[51:33] strötting
[51:34] on
[51:34] the
[51:34] side
[51:34] it
[51:34] doesn't
[51:35] matter
[51:36] If it didn't matter to you, it didn't matter to God either.
[51:40] You're telling God you understand.
[51:41] He's telling you to understand that I can't work with such things.
[51:46] How do you expect him to work with something?
[51:48] He's a holy God.
[51:48] He's cleaned you up.
[51:49] Every day you're coming back with debt.
[51:51] He said, don't step aside.
[51:51] Don't come inside.
[51:52] It's okay.
[51:53] I love you dearly, but don't bring your debt here.
[51:55] It's okay.
[51:56] You haven't lost your salvation, but what we plan to do,
[51:58] we have to find a different plan, isn't it?
[52:01] It ain't going to work.
[52:02] Because you don't get it.
[52:04] You don't get it.
[52:04] And you've decided not to get it.
[52:06] After all the preaching, you've decided you won't get it.
[52:08] That's why you're the sinner.
[52:09] You continue sinning.
[52:09] Okay, no worries.
[52:11] You are being rude now.
[52:12] You're being rude.
[52:15] You're being rude.
[52:17] They want God to consistently tolerate you.
[52:19] Every time you come back, it's all your father.
[52:21] Meanwhile, you know that you're going back.
[52:23] Don't be deceived.
[52:24] God is not mocked.
[52:27] It's also in the Bible.
[52:29] Yeah, it's also in the Bible.
[52:31] You think you'd forget about that one.
[52:33] That is in the Bible.
[52:34] Vision has processes.
[52:39] There was an appointed time for it to come to pass.
[52:42] The Bible says that,
[52:43] But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
[52:56] There's a time to it.
[52:58] God had planned this in eternity.
[53:01] And the plan was activated right after Adam and Eve sinned.
[53:08] But there had to come.
[53:09] But there had to come a fullness of time.
[53:12] There had to come.
[53:13] At a certain time.
[53:14] So every vision would have its processes and will have its appointed time.
[53:19] But be assured that, in the end, it will speak.
[53:23] If it's truly a vision from God.
[53:25] He just said, wait for it.
[53:27] Wait for it.
[53:29] Because in Hebrews chapter 2, we have to run with perseverance.
[53:34] Run with perseverance.
[53:35] Meaning that the journey can be long.
[53:39] Don't give up and don't give in.
[53:41] If God said it, it will come to pass.
[53:43] Faithful is he who has called you.
[53:45] And he also will do it.
[53:46] We are confident of this very thing.
[53:49] That he who has begun a good work, he will perform it until the day of Christ.
[53:53] We are confident on who we have committed it to.
[53:56] He will do it.
[53:58] He will do it.
[53:58] How do you wait?
[54:02] Waiting is a big problem for the Christian today.
[54:06] It's very challenging.
[54:08] We don't like it.
[54:10] It's like, God, why are you shaming my testimony?
[54:13] And he said, God, look at the time.
[54:15] Look at the day.
[54:16] Look at the month.
[54:17] Look at the week.
[54:19] And he said, end?
[54:21] End?
[54:22] Yeah, end?
[54:24] It's not in my timing yet.
[54:27] But you know what?
[54:28] God has a way of keeping us.
[54:31] He has a way of keeping us.
[54:32] That's why that portion ends with, they just shall live by faith.
[54:35] By his faith.
[54:37] That's the workings of vision that God gives.
[54:41] You stood.
[54:43] You set yourself.
[54:44] And you received.
[54:45] Now, you have to work with him.
[54:47] Work with him.
[54:48] It will come to pass.
[54:49] Indeed, it came to pass.
[54:51] The Babylonians, they were overcome.
[54:55] They were overcome.
[54:57] They were completely destroyed.
[55:00] We all hear Nebuchadnezzar himself became like an animal.
[55:03] All these things.
[55:04] We see in other parts of scripture.
[55:06] The fulfillment of God's vision.
[55:08] It showed him.
[55:09] And it came to pass.
[55:10] But it wasn't at the time that Habakkuk wasn't demanding.
[55:14] It wasn't at that time.
[55:17] And so people, say yourself.
[55:20] Walk with God by faith.
[55:23] The just shall live by his faith.
[55:27] By his faith.
[55:30] Yes, the just shall live by faith.
[55:32] The New Testament.
[55:33] But this bit when it comes to vision.
[55:37] It's making it very personal.
[55:39] To the individual.
[55:42] When it comes to vision.
[55:44] It's your faith.
[55:46] Your faith.
[55:47] When it comes to what becomes of your life.
[55:49] It's your faith.
[55:52] Yours.
[55:53] You can't rely on anybody.
[55:54] No borrowed faith.
[55:55] You have a measure of faith.
[55:57] Grow it.
[56:00] Water it with the word.
[56:01] Faith comes by hearing it.
[56:03] By hearing the word of God.
[56:05] Work on it.
[56:06] Develop it.
[56:08] Build it.
[56:10] Turn it to strong faith.
[56:14] And you will see.
[56:16] Indeed.
[56:18] The salvation of the Lord.
[56:20] Faith must be in God.
[56:23] Not in yourself.
[56:25] I've said it many times.
[56:26] Not in your prayers.
[56:28] Not in the things you can do.
[56:29] Amen.
[56:31] Those are graces God has given us.
[56:33] And we thank him for that.
[56:35] But your faith must always be in God.
[56:38] The fact that you've prayed for a very long time.
[56:40] And forgot to put your faith in God.
[56:42] And thought that because I have prayed I'll get it.
[56:45] You missed it.
[56:46] You missed it.
[56:48] Because at that point you've put your faith in your ability.
[56:51] That you can pray.
[56:53] To shock you.
[56:54] And so.
[56:57] When it comes to visions given by God.
[57:00] There's a way you receive it.
[57:02] And there's a way you work with it.
[57:06] And.
[57:08] The summary of it is.
[57:10] Work with God in faith.
[57:12] He has said it.
[57:14] And he will do it.
[57:15] But make time.
[57:18] To find out.
[57:20] What God is saying.
[57:22] And open your hearts.
[57:23] To see.
[57:24] What he's saying.
[57:26] It is the keys.
[57:27] To your destiny.
[57:29] In Jesus name.
[57:30] Amen.
[57:31] Hallelujah.
[57:33] We give God thanks.
