Moving Forward Requires Vision

In order for us to move forward to the place where God has called for us to be, we must have a vision. When there is no vision, or revelation from God, your life goes anywhere and everywhere, but wanders absolutely nowhere. In order for us to achieve what God wants us to achieve, we have to have a vision and plan of action for it to be carried out. The call of God upon our lives is to use the gifts that he has placed inside of us instead of letting them sit inside to rot and collect dust so that they cannot impact the world around us. The vision has to be carried out by actions and not just thoughts and words. Their has to be a gameplan for it to be fulfilled. One of the ways to practice the scripture is to see yourself in the scripture. Most people cannot achieve what God wants them to achieve because they do not have a strategy. There may be turbulance along the journey of our destiny, but we can overcome it because greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world. A setback is a setup for a comeback! The vision from God is connected to what you have a burden for. Everyone of us has a burden/necessity that God has given us.

Moses had a strategy to bring the people out of Egypt.
Joshua had a strategy to conquer the land.
Nehemiah had a strategy to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem.
Paul had to preach out of the burden that God gave him.
