Living in 3-D

If you want to get somewhere in life you are going to have to have vision.  You can only achieve what you can see.  Have you ever watched a 3-D movie?  When you are wearing the 3-D glasses things seem to stick out at you like they are coming right out of the screen.  What used to be two-dimensional is now popping right out at you.  But when you take the glasses off and look at the screen there are all these extra colored lines on the screen, (especially in the old school 3-D movies), that blur up the picture. 

There are things in this life that at best are just blurry squiggly lines upon the already confused pictures of our lives.  But when we put on the supernatural glasses of the Holy Spirit those things that were a blur now pop right out at us.  The things that were hidden are now revealed and we are seeing into a new dimension. 

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.  But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit (our 3-D glasses): for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 2:9-10).” 

There are certain things that God has prepared for us that only He can reveal.  We will never be able to see them without Him.  So then Vision is the revelation or revealing of those things that we cannot see with our natural mind or our natural eyes. 

The number one thing that you have to realize about vision is that it comes from God.  You cannot make up your own vision. Vision is a revelation or revealing of things that God has planned or seen for you from the beginning of time.  Vision is a sneak-peek that God gives us into our future. 

The second thing you need to realize about vision is that you cannot live a productive life and reach your destiny without it.  The Bible says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish (Proverbs 29:18)”.  The word for perish there in the Hebrew is para, meaning naked.  Vision literally clothes us with purpose and the anointing of God that we need to fulfill destiny. 

The third thing that I want you to understand about vision is that it is a part of faith.  The biblical definition of faith given to us in Hebrews 11:1 states, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”  Vision is the revealing of things that are not seen or what we will call the evidence part of faith.  Vision is a spirit eye.    It is the seeing part of faith. It is our 3-D glasses.

Team Goal: Work in the area of your strength

Team Goal: Work in the area of your strength. Just because you want to do it does not mean you are good at it. Find your purpose!

Listen, God has the perfect thing for you to do to help expand and enlarge His Kingdom. Don't get caught doing something your not good at just because it is something you want to do. We are a team, and a team has to work together, everyone working in the area of their greatest strength, so that the whole team can move forward with high intensity.

Now, I know that we all have to occupy roles at times that we know we are not the best at, but there is no one else to do it, so we fill in to meet the need. I am not talking about that. If you are filling in to meet a need you are a strength to your team. The message I want to get out to you today is this. Do not waste your time on things that are not going to be productive for both you and your team.

The most important thing to any team is total participation. So get involved. Full Turn needs you. Your church needs you, and we need you to work in the area of your strength. How can you be valuable to the team? Get plugged in!
