Faith without vision would just implode and self-destruct ...but
when faith catches vision, it will simply have to EXPLODE Sure it
will explode; it will have no choice Ha... ha... ha... ...if we are
talking about a kind of faith that is similar to that which God
exercises ...and especially when we start talking and thinking in
terms of the very faith of God Himself That faith of God generates
God's energy, and God's limitless creative ability It is that very
explosive element that very faith of God that I desire us to talk
about and consider in this book together I want us to measure
together, not merely our vision for ourselves and for our ministry
...but God's vision for our lives and for our ministry right here
in 2014 and then in 2015 and beyond I thank God that we no longer
need to allow ourselves to be intimidated by anything that the
future holds for natural man ...because, we are not mere men
Hallelujah We are so much more I thank God that we have the
privilege to discover the vision of ourselves that God's Word
inspires This book is part of the series: Helping the believer to
fully appropriate truth
"Therefore strengthen the weak hands, and make strong the feeble
knees, Say to those who are fearful hearted, 'Be strong, do not
fear Enlarge the place of your tent, ...stretch out the curtains of
your habitations. Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, and strengthen
your stakes For you shall expand to the right and to the left, and
your descendants will inherit the nations, and make the desolate
cities inhabited. Do not fear for you will no longer be ashamed;
nor be disgraced any more, for you will not be put to shame (You
will not become weak and fail); For you will forget the shame of
your youth (your immaturity), ...and will not remember that
reproach anymore..." - Isaiah 35:3 & 4, and Isaiah 54:2-4
Righteousness is the most misunderstood subject in the Bible, and
that confusion, because of inaccurate truth and incorrect
assumptions and conclusions, is one of the biggest reasons why so
many Christians are still in bondage. I grew up, like countless
others, associating righteousness with good works, ...but did you
know that not one of your good works could ever make you righteous?
In John 14-17 Jesus was not talking about mansions in Heaven, but
about Righteousness when He said: "I go to prepare a place for
you."
Man's first experience, when he awoke in creation, was the
overwhelming display of God's love ...God's very favor and
adoration God is love ...and this love could only rest ...in an
encounter ...with a being of the same kind and likeness God can
only find His rest in a being of the same image and likeness as
Himself ...a being with the same love as His ...a love of the same
kind as His own. Love can only find its rest in love Love can only
be satisfied by love Love desires someone else to love ...and love
needs a response of the exact same kind and quality God, in His
creation of mankind, designed a being with whom He could share
equality In His creation of mankind, God desired and designed a
being upon whom He could lavish His love He desired a response of
the same quality and kind in that being, called man See, man alone
can appreciate and respond to God's love on a level of worship. The
desire in man to worship God was birthed by that first encounter
and experience of God's adoration in the garden. To reflect back in
love the adoration He gives is the only appropriate response to His
love 1John 4:19, "We love Him because He first loved us."
All that God labored for, for you, what He accomplished for you, on
your behalf, is exactly what He has in mind for you God does not
have in mind, a lesser value, a lesser measure of all that He
worked for, for each one of us ...for each one of you reading this
book The only reason why some of us continue to live in a
frustrated experience in our faith is simply because we have not
yet fully laid a hold; fully grasped and believed all that He has
worked for and accomplished in Christ Jesus God is not to blame if
there is prevailing evidence in your spirit and in your life, in
your testimony, of need and of lack He says, "I have come that you
might have LIFE, and have it more abundantly " But you see, only
within the light of what He accomplished do we find access into
that life-quality that Jesus calls, "abundance." That "abundance,"
is our portion ...nothing less, amen In this book I do my best to
inspire you, not to settle for anything less than His faith, in
your heart and life; than His "abundance " This book is part of the
series: Helping the believer to fully appropriate truth It is also
a follow up to my book "God's Measure versus Man's Measure"
