REV. LYNETTE HAGIN> I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME.
REV. KENNETH W. HAGIN> I CANNOT BE DEFEATED AND I WILL NOT QUIT."
ANNOUNCER> WELCOME TO RHEMA PRAISE, A WORLDWIDE BROADCAST
BRINGING HOPE, HELP AND HEALING FOR OVER 20 YEARS FROM
KENNETH HAGIN MINISTRIES AND RHEMA BIBLE CHURCH IN BROKEN
ARROW, OKLAHOMA. AND NOW HERE ARE YOUR HOSTS
PASTORS KENNETH AND LYNETTE HAGIN.
KENNETH> HELLO, WELCOME TO RHEMA PRAISE. YOU KNOW, FOR US,
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL WEEKEND.
LYNETTE> YES, IT IS.
KENNETH> BECAUSE DECEMBER THE 30TH
LYNETTE> THAT'S RIGHT.
KENNETH> WE WILL CELEBRATE OUR 53RD WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.
LYNETTE> CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? (LAUGHS)
KENNETH> NOT REALLY.
LYNETTE> I KNOW, I MEAN IT'S LIKE. WHEN I THINK OF WHEN WE
GOT MARRIED...
KENNETH> YEAH.
LYNETTE> ...53 YEARS AGO...
KENNETH> YEAH (CHUCKLES).
LYNETTE> ...LITTLE DID WE KNOW WHAT GOD HAD IN STORE
FOR OUR LIVES.
KENNETH> NO, NOT REALLY; HAD NO IDEA (CHUCKLING).
LYNETTE> YOU KNOW, I GUESS THAT LOOKING BACK I JUST ALWAYS
REMEMBER THE SONG THAT WAS BEING SUNG, AND
I'LL PROBABLY CRY...
KENNETH> (CHUCKLES)
LYNETTE> ...AH, BUT THE SONG THAT WAS SUNG AS WE WERE
WALKING UP TO THE ALTAR...
KENNETH> MIKE WATKINS WAS SINGING THE SONG.
LYNETTE>...YES. AND UM, IT SAYS...
KENNETH> WE WALKED UP THOSE STEPS.
LYNETTE> ...YES, AND IT SAYS:
WE'LL WALK THE ROAD OF LIFE TOGETHER DAY BY DAY
AND WILL I LOVE YOU ...
BOTH> ...EVERY STEP OF THE WAY...
LYNETTE> AND YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T KNOW THE STEPS THAT GOD
HAD FOR US.
KENNETH> NO, WE DIDN'T.
LYNETTE> AND, BUT THOSE STEPS HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL
SOMETIMES, THEY'VE BEEN HARD SOMETIMES (CHUCKLING). BUT
GOD HAS ALWAYS SEEN US THROUGH...
KENNETH> YES, HE HAS.
LYNETTE> ...EVERYTHING THAT HE'S ASKED US TO DO.
KENNETH> YEAH.
LYNETTE> AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY,
ABOUT 20-20 VISION.
KENNETH> YES.
LYNETTE> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT WE NEED TO PUT OUR
SPIRITUAL GLASSES ON TO...
KENNETH> RIGHT.
LYNETTE> ...SEE WHAT GOD HAS IN STORE FOR OUR LIVES.
KENNETH> RIGHT, RIGHT.
LYNETTE> AND YOU KNOW, GOD GIVES EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US
GIFTS AND PURPOSES...
KENNETH> RIGHT.
LYNETTE> ...HE HAS A PURPOSE.
KENNETH> YOU KNOW, WE NEVER... WE NEVER TRIED TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO. WE JUST WENT AND TALKED TO GOD...
LYNETTE> YES.
KENNETH> ...AND GOD GAVE US THE VISION...
LYNETTE> THAT'S RIGHT.
KENNETH> ...FOR WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO AND WE FOLLOWED HIM ALL
THE WAY 'TIL WE GET TO HERE. I MEAN WE NEVER, WE NEVER
PLANNED TO HAVE ALL THESE BIBLE SCHOOLS...
LYNETTE> NO.
KENNETH> ...AND ALL THAT WE HAVE, THE MINISTRY, WHAT IT IS
TODAY. IT WASN'T SAT DOWN AND PUT OUT IN A PLAN LIKE A
BUSINESS PLAN. WE JUST BEGAN TO FOLLOW GOD AS HE UNFOLDED
THE VISION. MANY TIMES MANY PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE
VISION BEFORE THEY FOLLOW, BUT WITH GOD HE JUST GIVES YOU
ENOUGH VISION TO TAKE A STEP OF FAITH.
LYNETTE> YES.
KENNETH> AND BELIEVE HIM AND AS YOU TAKE THAT STEP
HE GIVES YOU MORE VISION.
LYNETTE> YES.
KENNETH> AND, AND WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THE PLAN THAT GOD HAS
FOR US. NOW SOME PEOPLE JUST TALK ABOUT IT FOR THE NEW YEAR.
NO, IT'S FOR LIFE.
LYNETTE> IT'S FOR LIFE.
KENNETH> AND WITH GOD IT'S FOR LIFE.
LYNETTE> YES.
KENNETH> SO WHY DON'T WE GO WHERE I'M DOING A MESSAGE.
IT'S CALLED: "YOU NEED 20-20 VISION".
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR MANY PEOPLE ASK, "OH, WHAT DO
YOU PLAN FOR THIS YEAR?" AND I BELIEVE WITHIN THE HEART OF
EVERY PERSON THAT THEY ARE BELIEVING THAT THE NEXT YEAR
WILL BE BETTER THAN LAST YEAR. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT
PLANNERS AND WE MAKE RESOLUTIONS. WE SET GOALS FOR
THE NEW YEAR, BUT WE'LL NEVER REALIZE ANY OF THAT UNLESS WE DO
SOMETHING DIFFERENT. YOU KNOW, MANY PEOPLE WANT A DIFFERENT
OUTCOME, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME THING. AND
YOU'LL GET THE SAME RESULTS.
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
THERE'LL BE NO CHANGE. NOW, MAYBE YOU NEED TO START SOME
NEW ROUTINES. MAYBE YOU NEED TO TAKE ACTION IN PLACES WHERE
YOU HAVE BEEN PASSIVE. AND YOU KNOW, MANY TIMES NEW YEAR'S
RESOLUTIONS AND PLANS INCLUDE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU CAN
MENTION. BUT MOST PEOPLE MAKE RESOLUTIONS AND THEY INTEND
TO KEEP THEM, BUT IT'S BECAUSE THAT THEY HAVE NO CONTINUED
VISION TO BRING ABOUT THE RESULTS. IT'S ONE THING TO SEE
IT AND MAKE A RESOLUTION, IT'S ANOTHER THING TO CONTINUE TO SEE
IT, HAVE VISION OF IT, AND BRING IT INTO ITS FRUITION, ITS
REALITY. YOU KNOW, MANY PEOPLE, YOU KNOW THEY'LL HOLD ONTO
THAT VISION THE NEXT YEAR FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT THEN AFTER
A LITTLE WHILE THINGS HAPPEN AND THEY LOSE SIGHT OR VISION
OF WHAT THEY HAVE MADE A RESOLUTION TO CHANGE AND SO
FORTH AND SO ON. YOU KNOW, PROVERBS 29:18, MOST OF US KNOW
THIS, IN THE KING JAMES IT SAYS:
(EXCUSE ME)
NOW, THE NEW KING JAMES SAYS:
AND THEN THE NEW LIVING TRANSLATION SAYS:
THE CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH VERSION OR CEV VERSION SAYS:
NOW THE ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION OF THAT
SAME SCRIPTURE SAYS:
SO HERE, WE SEE IN THE KING JAMES THE IDEA OF VISION. NOW
AS WE LOOK AT THAT WORD VISION IN OTHER TRANSLATIONS WE GET
A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT IT'S TALKING ABOUT. IN THE NEW KING
JAMES IT SAID, "...HAVING GOD'S REVELATION."
IN THE NLT AND THE CEV IT SAYS...MEANING...IT MEANS
"...HAVING GOD'S GUIDANCE."
IN THE ESV (ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION) IT SAYS (IT MEANS):
"...HAVING PROPHETIC VISION."
WELL, ACTUALLY, AS WE BEGIN TO LOOK AT THAT THEN WITHOUT
VISION OR LET'S SAY IT IN THE OTHER WORDS: REVELATION,
GUIDANCE, OR PROPHETIC INSIGHT FROM GOD, YOU KNOW, YOU
WON'T GO IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IT SAYS THAT THEY RUN
WILD. IT SAYS THAT THEY CAST OFF RESTRAINTS. IT SAYS THEY
DO WHATEVER THEY THINK IS GOOD AS FAR AS THEIR THINKING.
SO I WANT TO ENCOURAGE EACH OF US TODAY TO GET A PERSONAL
VISION OR GAIN INSIGHT ON WHAT GOD WANTS FOR US NEXT YEAR.
NOW, YOU MAY THINK THAT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU TO GET SOME
BIG MINISTRY VISION, NO - NO, NO, NO, NO. I'M GOING TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT GETTING THE VISION ABOUT WHAT GOD'S WORD
SAYS. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT ORGANIZATIONS AND
BUSINESSES, EVEN CHURCHES, BIBLE SCHOOLS - IF THEY DON'T
HAVE A VISION THEN NOTHING HAPPENS. YOU KNOW, JACK WEBB
SAID THIS CONCERNING BUSINESS... BUSINESS. HE SAID, "GOOD
BUSINESS LEADERS CREATE A VISION, ARTICULATE THE VISION,
PASSIONATELY OWN THE VISION AND RELENTLESSLY DRIVE TO ITS
COMPLETION." SOMETIMES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS
AND FAILURE IN A BUSINESS IS THE FACT OF WHETHER OR NOT
THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE THE VISION HAPPEN. WE ALL NEED TO
HAVE OUR PERSONAL VISION FROM GOD ABOUT THE FUTURE SO WE
CAN WALK OUT THE PLAN THAT HE HAS FOR EACH OF US. I'M NOT
TALKING ABOUT A MINISTRY PLAN I'M TALKING ABOUT WHAT HE SAYS
IN THE WORD OF GOD. YOU SEE HERE, HE HAS ALREADY WROTE...
OR "WRITTEN" I GUESS I SHOULD SAY, WRITTEN IN THE WORD OF
GOD A VISION FOR EACH ONE OF US. NOW, ONE OF THEM IS TO BE
A WITNESS. THAT SHOULD BE PART OF OUR VISION, PERSONAL
VISION. IN ROMANS... IN ACTS 1:8, IT SAYS:
NOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO PRAY ABOUT WHETHER THAT IS PART OF
OUR VISION FOR NEXT YEAR OR NOT BECAUSE GOD ALREADY TOLD
US RIGHT HERE, OKAY. BUT I WANT US TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE
REASONS AND VALUES FOR HAVING A PERSONAL VISION. NOW, WE
ALL PROBABLY KNOW THIS SCRIPTURE BECAUSE PEOPLE USE IT
ALL THE TIME, HABAKKUK 2:2:
THE FIRST THING THAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND IN HAVING A
PERSONAL VISION IS THAT WE HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF
WHAT THAT VISION IS AS DIRECTED FROM THE WORD OF GOD. HOW
MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER GONE TO THE EYE DOCTOR?
(CONGREGATION RESPONDS)
YEAH. AND THEY HAVE SOMETHING THEY CALL 20-20 VISION, RIGHT?
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE NORMAL VISION. YOU KNOW, AND THAT
ACTUALLY MEANS YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY AT TWENTY FEET WHAT
ANOTHER PERSON WOULD NORMALLY SEE AT THAT DISTANCE. NOW,
DEPENDING ON WHAT THE DOCTOR FINDS HE WILL TELL YOU YOU
HAVE NORMAL VISION, BETTER VISION THAN 20-20 OR YOU GOT
WORSE VISION. HERE'S THE QUESTION TO YOU...SEE, YOU NEED
20-20 VISION, THAT'S THE TITLE IF YOU WANT IT. IT'S ON THE
SCREEN. HERE'S THE QUESTION, DO YOU HAVE GOOD, BAD, OR NO
VISION AT ALL FOR PERSONAL... FOR YOUR LIFE WITH GOD? SEE,
HE WANTS US TO KNOW WHAT OUR VISION SHOULD BE PERSONALLY
FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL. AND HE ALSO KNOWS THAT UNLESS WE CAN
SEE THAT VISION WE CAN'T WALK IN IT. SO, WE NEED TO REALIZE
SOMETHING RIGHT HERE. WE ARE ALL SPIRIT-EMPOWERED AND WE
NEED GOD'S HELP. YOU KNOW, NOW I CAN SEE FINE WITHOUT
THESE, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO READING (LAUGHS), AH, CAN I GET
IT OUT THERE FAR ENOUGH (LAUGHS)?
(CONGREGATION LAUGHS)
AND I GET TIRED OF PULLING THEM OFF AND PUTTING THEM ON SO
I JUST WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME 'CAUSE THEY GOT THESE LITTLE
DEALS RIGHT IN THERE THAT HELP ME TO READ, OKAY.
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
NOW SOMEONE SAYS, "I'LL PRAY FOR YOUR HEALING." ACTUALLY,
I ASKED THE DOCTOR ONE TIME, I SAID, "IS THE REASON THAT
PEOPLE CAN'T SEE ON READING AND STUFF, IS THAT A DISEASE OR
WHAT IS IT?" HE SAID, "NO," HE SAID, "IT'S A MATTER OF THE
EYE MUSCLES OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS (AND MOST OF THE TIME
YOU DO IT WHEN YOU'RE IN SCHOOL OR COLLEGE), AND SOMETIMES
YOU'RE READING ALL OF THESE FINE PRINT BOOKS AND SOMETIMES
YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH LIGHT ON IN THE ROOM AND SO FORTH AND
FINALLY THOSE MUSCLES JUST GET TIRED AND THEY DON'T WORK
LIKE THEY USED TO." SO HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS USED TO HAVE
GOOD BICEPS, AND MAN, I MEAN...COME ON.
(MEN RESPOND, SOME LAUGHTER)
YOU STILL GOT BICEPS, BUT THEY AIN'T LIKE THEY USED TO BE.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHS)
I DON'T CARE, AS YOU GET OLDER IF YOU STILL WORK OUT YOU
STILL CAN'T LIVE THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT THAT YOU DID WHEN YOU
WERE YOUNGER EVEN IF YOU'RE STILL WORKING OUT.
(CONGREGATION RESPONDS)
COME ON. SO, WE NEED GOD'S HELP WITH OUR EYESIGHT, OUR
SPIRITUAL EYESIGHT. WE NEED WHAT I WANT TO CALL THIS
MORNING "SPIRITUAL GLASSES" TO SEE THE FUTURE. COME ON
(CHUCKLING). YOU KNOW, AH, IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT THE
FUTURE HOLDS (AND GOD WANTS US TO) YOU'VE GOT TO SEE IT.
YOU KNOW, AS WE TALK ABOUT VISION, YOU KNOW, AS I HAD THE
VISION FOR THIS BUILDING LYNETTE AND I WE TALKED AND SO
FORTH AND SO ON BEING RAISED IN CHURCH AND I HAD A VISION
FOR WHAT I WANTED IN THIS BUILDING. AND I SAT DOWN WITH
ROSS MCCREADY, ARCHITECT, HE WAS ON STAFF. AND WE DREW
AND RE-DREW ON JUST...BEFORE WE EVER EVEN DREW ANY PLANS
JUST LINE DRAWINGS OF WHAT THE BUILDING WOULD LOOK LIKE.
CHARLIE WAS HERE. HE'S SITTING RIGHT BACK THERE. HE KNOWS
THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF THOSE THAT ROSS DREW,
BUNCHES OF THEM. NOW, I COULD ACTUALLY...I HAD THE VISION
TO SEE IT. ROSS BEGAN TO GET THAT. HE SAW IT. NOW WE
FINALLY GOT ALL THE PLANS DRAWN AND EVERYTHING. AND THEY
COME OUT HERE AND THEY STARTED DIGGING UP THE DIRT TO PUT
IN THE SLAB TO MAKE OUR FOUNDATION (SLAB FOR OUR
FOUNDATION). AND I WOULD BRING MY PASTORAL STAFF OVER
HERE. AND THEY WERE JUST... THEY HAD JUST STARTED DIGGING
UP SOME OF THE DIRT OUT TO THE FRONT, AND I WENT TO...
ABOUT RIGHT HERE I THINK (BECAUSE I KNEW WHAT THE PLANS
WERE) AND I SAID, "OKAY, THIS IS WHERE THE PULPIT IS GOING
TO BE RIGHT HERE. AND THERE'S THE CONGREGATION AND THERE'S
THE BALCONY, AND HERE'S THE CHOIR BACK HERE..." SEE,
YOU'VE GOT A CHOIR LOFT BEHIND THOSE CURTAINS BACK THERE
THAT YA'LL CAN'T SEE THAT WE GOT...AND WHEN WE DID THIS IN
'92, IT WAS STATE OF THE ART, BUT NOW IT'S ALL GONE. THEY
WOULD SAY, "YES," BUT LATER ON THEY'D TELL ME, "WELL PASTOR
YOU'D TAKE US OVER THERE AND YOU'D TELL US; WE DIDN'T SEE
NOTHING. WE SAW GROUND."
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
YOU SEE, I HAD THAT VISION. YOU HAVE TO GET A PERSONAL
VISION FROM GOD'S WORD IN ORDER TO PERFORM ALL OF THE THINGS
GOD WANTS US TO DO. YOU SEE, ABRAHAM GOT VISION FROM GOD.
IN GENESIS 12, IT TELLS HIM... THE LORD TOLD HIM, ["GET DOWN
TO THIS COUNTRY...(AND) I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU A GREAT
NATION."] AND SO FORTH AND SO ON. AND ABRAHAM, HE LEFT AND
STARTED LOOKING FOR THAT PLACE THAT GOD WAS SENDING HIM TO.
NOW, AND HE'S GOING TO MAKE... AND ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT
GOD SAID TO HIM HE SAW THEM, AND HE REALIZED IN THE NATURAL
THAT THEY WEREN'T POSSIBLE, BUT ABRAHAM HAD ON THE SPIRITUAL
GLASSES AND HE WAS ABLE TO SEE BEYOND THE NATURAL AND SEE
WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHEN YOU WALK WITH GOD.
I WANT YOU TO NOTICE THAT ABRAHAM DID NOT WANDER AIMLESSLY
THROUGH LIFE, HE WENT EXACTLY WHERE GOD TOLD HIM TO GO.
SO, WE'VE GOT TO CLEARLY SEE WHAT GOD WANTS OUT OF US, EACH
OF US. NOW, YOU SEE, EVERYTIME YOU START TALKING ABOUT THIS
PEOPLE WANT TO GO TO MINISTRY. NO, IT'S NOT...I'M NOT
TALKING ABOUT MINISTRY. I'M TALKING ABOUT EACH INDIVIDUAL
CHRISTIAN THAT GOD WANTS OUT OF ALL OF US. NOW SOMEBODY
SAYS, "NOW THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT. I'VE NEVER HEARD
ANYBODY..." WELL, I'M SORT OF DIFFERENT ANYWAY SO YOU'LL
HEAR ME DO A LOT OF THINGS... (CHUCKLES). I'M NOT, I'M NOT
THE NORM, OKAY. BUT YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE VISION
YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T RUN YOUR RACE. YOU CAN'T RUN WELL.
YOU KNOW, IN HABAKKUK 2, (WE'LL GO BACK THERE AGAIN):
(AND THEN HERE, LOOK HERE: MAKE IT PLAIN THAT HE MAY RUN WHO
READS IT).
THE LORD GOD, HAS WRITTEN THE VISION AND HE'S MADE IT PLAIN
RIGHT HERE SO THAT WE CAN RUN WELL IN OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE.
I'M TALKING ABOUT OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE. SEE, OUR VISION
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BIG FOR SOME GIANT, BIG GIGANTIC THING.
IT COULD BE SOMETHING SIMPLE THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. MAYBE
PART OF YOUR VISION THIS YEAR IS JUST NOT TO FALL INTO THE
SAME PATTERN THAT YOU DID LAST YEAR.
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
MAYBE IT'S JUST NOT TO...NOT TO LET SOME THINGS BOTHER
YOU THAT BOTHERED YOU...MAYBE IT'S TO TAKE A STEP OUT OF
THE COMFORT ZONE AND MOVE OUT A LITTLE BIT. MAYBE IT'S
LEARNING...IT'S TO LEARN TO LOVE PEOPLE THE WAY GOD DOES.
SEE, PART OF OUR PERSONAL VISION IS FOUND IN THE WORD OF
GOD. I'M TALKING ABOUT FOR YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.
I'M GOING TO...I'M GOING TO JUST GOING TO GIVE ABOUT SIX
DIFFERENT THINGS HERE, BUT THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM,
BUT I'M JUST GOING TO MENTION THESE. IN MATTHEW 28, HE
TELLS US TO BE WITNESS FOR HIM.
IN LUKE 22, HE TELLS US TO BE SERVANTS.
IN LUKE 6:38, HE TELLS US TO BE GIVERS. HELLO. SEE, THIS
SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR PERSONAL VISION FOR NEXT YEAR.
IN LUKE 18:1, HE TELLS US TO BE A PERSON OF PRAYER.
IN MARK 11:11, WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING THERE, HE TELLS
US TO BE A PERSON OF FAITH.
IN JOHN 13, HE TELLS US TO BE A PERSON WHO WALKS IN LOVE.
YOU SEE, ALL OF THIS SHOULD BE A PART OF OUR PERSONAL VISION
FOR OURSELVES AS WE WALK, NOT FOR OUR WIFE, NOT FOR OUR
HUSBAND, NOT FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. THIS NEEDS TO BE...SEE,
WE HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND WE NEED TO
HAVE OUR VISION TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THE THINGS THAT GOD HAS
ASKED...WANTS US TO ACCOMPLISH IN THESE AREAS. HE WANTS
EVERYONE TO BE A WITNESS. HE WANTS EVERYONE TO BE A
SERVANT. HE WANTS EVERYONE TO BE GIVERS. SEE, MANY PEOPLE
SAY, "OH, I CAN'T GIVE. I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO GIVE. I DON'T
HAVE MUCH TO GIVE." HEY, GIVE WHAT YOU GOT AND YOU'LL FIND
OUT YOU'LL GET MORE. BUT SEE, SOME PEOPLE DON'T GIVE
ANYTHING. SEE, GET A PER... GET A PERSONAL VISION, "I'M
GOING TO GIVE THIS YEAR." IN FACT, I HAD...I HAD A
TESTIMONY FROM SOMEBODY NOT LONG AGO THAT SAID THAT THEY,
THEY...THEY'D NEVER GIVEN AND THEY (PART OF THIS CHURCH),
AND THEY STARTED...THEY WERE ABLE TO GIVE THEIR TEN-PERCENT.
THEY STARTED GIVING TEN-PERCENT, AND THEY SAID, "MAN, THINGS
STARTED CHANGING IN MY FINANCIAL AREA."
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
YOU SEE, THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO GET A VISION PERSONALLY FOR
ALL OF THESE THINGS BECAUSE WHEN WE GET THIS VISION
PERSONALLY FOR ALL OF THESE THINGS, AND THEY BECOME A PART
OF US THEN EVERYTHING CHANGES IN US, AROUND US, WITH US.
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU PERSONALLY. POINT TO
YOURSELF AND SAY, I NEED:
(I NEED)
A PERSONAL VISION
(A PERSONAL VISION)
TO ACCOMPLISH
(TO ACCOMPLISH)
THE THINGS THAT GOD WANTS ME TO ACCOMPLISH
(THE THINGS THAT GOD WANTS ME TO ACCOMPLISH)
AND THEN WHEN YOU HAVE THE VISION
AND YOU HAVE IT OUT IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU CAN ENDURE. AND
WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE YOU CAN SAY, "I FINISHED MY
COURSE. I DID WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO." AND THE LORD
WOULD SAY TO YOU, "WHEN YOU CAN SAY THOSE WORDS THEN YOU
WILL SEE MY REWARDS BEGIN TO COME TO PASS IN YOUR LIFE.
AND YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT AND JOYOUS TIME BECAUSE I'M NOT
SO INTERESTED IN ALL OF YOUR BIG, GIGANTIC PLANS. I'M
INTERESTED IN YOU SIMPLY DOING WHAT I ASKED YOU TO DO IN MY
WORD. AND AS YOU PERSONALLY GET YOURSELF INVOLVED IN MY
WORD YOU WILL SEE THINGS WILL CHANGE AND THERE WILL BE A
GREAT VICTORY." HALLELUJAH! GLORY TO GOD. THAT'S WHAT...
THAT'S WHAT THE SPIRIT WAS SAYING, OKAY. THAT AIN'T WRITTEN
DOWN HERE NOWHERE. (CHUCKLES) OH, PRAISE THE LORD.
ANYBODY GET ANYTHING OUT IT THIS MORNING?
(CONGREGATION RESPONDS)
GET YOUR OWN PERSONAL VISION, AND THEN RUN WELL WITH IT.
AMEN.
WELL PRAISE THE LORD.
