Pro 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he who keeps the law, he is blessed.
The absence of prophetic vision causes people to become “loose” in their lifestyles. They will seek after “things” to make them happy, but will be found empty. They will seek after pagan rituals and exercises as they fornicate with the world’s idols of worship. What we need is spiritual leaders set apart for holiness and righteousness. People that hear God’s voice and see His plans. People who just don’t see the letter of the word, but the voice behind it. The gift of prophecy is not the gift of teaching, nor pastoring. It is a gift that has been mutated and prostituted by religion and religious institutions. The prophetic voice leads the people back to the Creator and Sustainer of Life. Pray that God returns vision back into the Church so people will not perish. Pray that God returns the prophetic voice back into action.
1Co 14:1 Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.
As we pursue Love whose name is Jesus Christ, His Kingdom and Righteousness everything we need will be given to us. Yet, we are to desire spiritual gifts as we are equipped by Him to do the work of the ministry of the Gospel thru the power of the Holy Spirit. But especially the need for prophecy.
Act 2:17 “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
Act 2:18 even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
I get excited as I see God restoring His prophetic vision back into His Church. The restoration of visions and dreams to His people to return people to the Word is happening to all those who seek after Him and remain humble. I have watched prophecy, visions and dreams warn, heal, direct and encourage His people, and even the lost. He intends to empower His Church to be victorious over all evil. If the Church trades His powerful presence for programs and philosophy expect that faithlessness, sin epidemics and man’s traditions to define the Church.
God wants to restore His Presence, purpose and power back into His Church. Have you prepared yourself, your church and ministry for receiving His glory? Or are you settling for programs and the entertainment of professionally hired performers. Don’t trade His Presence for atmosphere. You want to catch on-fire for Him? Hang out with those already on-fire, it is contagious and consuming! Don’t become a casualty of American Christianity. Pursue Love, desire spiritual gifts, prophesy, dream dreams and have visions. Exciting times and exceptional love that He has and plans for us as He equips us and empowers us for His Glory and plans. These are the days we are in living in!
