This week, I have really been challenged with the word VISION. my vision, Gods vision, the worlds vision. what does it really look like to live out Gods vision for my life? how do i know if i am or am not living out that vision? i want to be a person that is so aware of Gods plan for my life.
Lately, i have been really frusterated that God hasn’t told me or let me know what he wants me to do after ywam. i was becoming impatient in waiting for Him to speak to me about it.
This past week in class we learned about the Holy Spirit. we learned about the Holy Spirit giving us strength, power, wisdom, knowledge and discernment. we learned a lot about how God is love, and when you find God you find love, and when you find love, you’ll feel it.
At the beginning of this week i was super skeptical at really opening myself up to receive the Holy Spirit fully. i didn’t see the point in receiving all of this power and strength and wisdom if i didn’t know what i was gunna be using it for. i didn’t want to receive all of this stuff and just keep it for myself and be like “ok god, that was awesome, but now im just gunna get on with my life.” and that was when one of my classmates came up to me with a vision:
She saw me standing ontop of my own heart, and i was reaching down into my heart pulling out all of these roots. these roots that i was pulling up were choking out my heart and everytime i pulled one out, my heart became more and more free. by the time i had uprooted all of the nasty stuff, i was just dancing with joy.
then it was like the vision continued on in my own head… i saw myself walking along all of these trees in a forest, which represented the world. and as i was walking, i was swooping down and pulling out all of these roots around me. and i heard
“you will rip out the roots of unrighteousness.”
and all of a sudden, i had this sense of peace overwhelm me. it was the revelation that even though i don’t know what God has in store for me… i know that it is good. And that he will use me if i am willing to let him use me. his vision for my life is so much greater and so much more impacting than mine could ever be.
