Be Utterly Amazed

The Lord brought a particular verse of scripture to mind today. Not just any old verse, but a verse that means a great deal to me personally. You see, I have a dream; a vision; about filling stadiums around the world with Gods praising people and bringing them together, through the medium of TV, and linking them into one great big worship and prayer team. A few years ago, when the Lord first gave me this vision, I came within a signature of hiring the then largest stadium in the UK for just such a purpose but the Lord stayed my hand and it became a non-event at that time. But I still hold the vision and I would still like to pull it together one day.

The verse was this one - Habakkuk 1:5 (NIV)
"Look at the nations and watch - and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.”

Now if we couple that verse with this one – then we start to have something really good.

Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,”

At this point, my dream or vision no longer matters because it’s personal to me. Your God-given dream or vision does matter though. Has God given you a dream or vision which has so far come to nought? Have you prayed about it? Have you claimed it – spoken it in faith and into existence?

Habakkuk 1:5 speaks about Gods vision of what He will do. Ephesians 3:20 speaks about our all powerful creator God for whom nothing is either impossible nor too much trouble. In fact it speaks of how we should keep asking; keep chasing the vision because He can do so much more than just the vision He has given to you or me.

Yet there is still something missing and that is Ephesians 3:20b “....according to his power that is at work within us,”

When will we realise just who we truly are in Christ? When will we truly realise that His power is at work within us. It is time to step into ALL that God has for each and every one of us. It is time to believe God’s Word. The Word of God is sharper than a double edged sword isn’t it?

Take your vision back to the Lord. Speak it out; claim it; use God’s Word as the sword to cut through anything preventing you vision happening. Step into the destiny that God has for you – especially right now with the end times so close. The world needs your vision – otherwise why did the Lord give it to you – to tease you? No !! God gives all things for a purpose and if we don’t fulfil that purpose, then He may take it to someone else who will fulfil it.

Don’t say about your vision, “Well that’s impossible!”
Nothing that God gives us to do is impossible because whom He chooses, He equips.
Whom He equips He teaches.
Whom He teaches does the work.
Thus God moves vision to reality. And it’s time for the world to see the reality of our wonderful God.

Realise your vision and be utterly amazed at what God can do in your life !!
