Today let me share with you this lesson I learned from pastor Ronnie Floyd………The Lord has been showing me the way……..as I walk with Him……The other day he told me, “I have shut that door!” ……….I weeped……..I tried to understand……..not a bad thing……..but I haven’t been able to let go since the Lord told me that……..I’m still growing……..My dad used to tell me, Dwayne, practice what you preach…….Wow and that was years and years ago……and it still holds true for me today…….I am working to absorb all into my heart and soul of what I preach……..
Here’s what Floyd’s lesson was about……..
Hang out with God……Ask Him what He wants you to do. If you have any element of desperation or sense of urgency, retreat with Him, entering into days of prayer and fasting. Get yourself to the point spiritually where you can hear what He is saying.
God began to redefine the vision in a new way for me. He use the passage from Habakkuk 2:1-4 to rivet my heart. This passage gives us five principles about vision:
Here is the Bible verses……..
I will stand watch
And set myself on the rampart,
And watch to see what He will
say to me,
And what I will answer when I am
corrected.
Then the LORD answered me and said:
“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
“Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the just shall live by faith.
AMEN! AMEN! I was crying as I finished typing this…….All what we need is in God’s Word and then put it to practice in our lives.
Let me finish up today with this from Pastor Floyd…….
Vision Given: God alone gives the vision.
Vision Written: Write down what God is saying to you.
Vision Declared: Communicate by faith what God has put into your heart. (I say AMEN! That’s what I try to do every day here at the CUP and on KKIM…….Communicate by faith what God has put on my heart!)
I do not start out each day thinking I have to do a CUP……it only happens when the Lord nudges me to do so, and HE gives me the words like he does when I preach or I am on KKIM.
Vision Faithed: Trust God via prayer until He fulfills it.
Vision Realized: If God says it, in time HE will do it!
AMEN! PRAISE GOD!
Let us pray……….
Lord thank you for all your love! Thank you for Your Word! In Jesus name, AMEN!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
