However, it is His desires that He will grant, not your selfish desires Proverbs 13:12 12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. • When the desire (your dream, your vision, your idea) comes, it is a tree of life • God will give you a dream, a vision, an idea - And it will be a strong desire • But most of the time you are not ready for it, so God will send you to a ministry to prepare and develop you for your assignment • If you don’t know what God’s desire for you is, get involved in the vision and you will begin to see what God wants for you • God urges you to get involved because He will tell you why you are there • God will send you an email, and it will cause you to recognize your purpose and your plan • God will help you bring your hope into the earth realm • He aligns corporate and personal vision - Your unique vision is defined within a united vision (vision of a church) • Nothing great will happen without enthusiasm • God can stir up the vision that’s on the inside of you - Just seek His face and ask Him to stir up the gift Passion is the Fuel on the Furnace of Achievement There are Three Types of Vision: Acts 16:9-10: 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them. Unique and United Vision is Connected 1. Unique - Your finger print, your distinction, that which distinguishes you from anyone else 2. United - The church’s vision (Pathway to Connecting to CCC) the vision of the house 3.
