vision with god
Have you ever participated as a teacher or counselor, or parent in career planning. In career planning you look at the person’s talents, skill, desires and help them, advise them of what their future could be. You could help them with what is available, draw out a plan such the grades you must make to get into college. Or job training or what ever preparation is needed to get to their desired goal. You could even plan your own destination of where you want have as a career, place to live, amount of money you want to retire with.

Well God has a plan for you also. And His career for you is better than any thing you could think of.

1 Cor 2:9-10

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

And God is the one who shows us His plan.  He reveals it by His Spirit.  God gave Joseph a dream of his future.  In other scripture God used visions to show what He had in store for the person.  So our vision for our life is what God has revealed to us.  When the Lord reveal our future whether it is little by little or our future many years away.  This becomes our vision.  We must believe God and see ourselves with what He has for us.  Also we need to write down what God has revealed to us about our future.

Hab 2:2-3

And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

And finally we must speak what God has shown us.

Therefore our future that God has for us is set.  And our future that He reveals becomes our vision.  Our dream, goal and destiny.  After reveals it, it is our job to believe it, see it, write it and speak it.  And then we are guaranteed to get there.

 

John 6:63

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Hab 2:2-3

And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Gen 37:5-10

And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
