Distractions: Vision Driven

Pastor Nate Brosher

Feb 4, 2024

Habakkuk 2:2-3 ESV

2 And the LORD answered me: "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. 3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end--it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.

 

1. Appointed Time.

 

Hebrews 9:27 NKJV - 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.

 

  • (apokeimai) which means, reserved, awaiting and/or set aside.

  • (moed) which is a season, feast and/or an appointed time.

 

2. We need Vision!

 

Proverbs 29:18 KJV

18 Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he.

 

  • (ḥāzôn) – Dream, revelation, divine communication.

  • Numbers 12:6 – (mar'â) – Mode of revelation, mirror, looking glass.

 

3. We are capable.

 

Jeremiah 1:5 ESV

5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations."

 

  • Appointed – (Natan) – assigned, designated, granted.

  • How do I know greatness is in you?

 

Romans 8:9-11 NLT

9 But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) 10 And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. 11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

 

Smith Wigglesworth (Book – “Healing”) – 1859-1947

The trouble is that we do not have the power of God in a full manifestation because of our finite thoughts, but as we go on and let God have His way, there is no limit to what our limitless God will do in response to a limitless faith. But you will never get anywhere except you are in constant pursuit of all the power of God.

 

  • What are you pursuing?
