Vision idiot!

I was in a meeting two years when a church leader called me a vision idiot! He meant it in a good way, I think. He was correct; I am a vision idiot meaning God has given me the ability to see what should be. Often that ability gets me into trouble and more often compels me into action. I am not sure why God has given me the gift of vision but He has. Everywhere I go I see what should be for the Kingdom of God. I love pushing leaders to follow that vision. More often than not I come across as an idiot. What makes me look most foolish is that I truly believe that God wants to move in a big way in our nation and most leaders are afraid to see what God sees and therefore afraid to act in accordance to God’s vision.
The main reason I left Texas was the vision God gave me for Tallahassee. I really can’t explain all the emotions and struggles I went through before following that vision. All I can say is that the vision was and is compelling. I have leveraged my whole life for it. I have had many sleepless nights thinking about what I have done, but the vision of God for this city drives me. I had that same vision for Victoria Texas and felt that God was done with me there so God gave me a fresh vision. That doesn’t mean that God was done with Victoria, He was just done with me in Victoria.

Here are some things I have learned about vision.

God’s vision is not about me, but it involves me. I am just a tool in God’s plan.
God’s vision is always about what he can do not what I can do; it is always bigger than me!
God’s vision will not go away, God is relentless.
The bigger the vision from God the greater the adversity you will experience.
Prayer makes me aware! God’s vision comes through seeking God.
God rarely brings about His vision in the way I think He should. God’s ways are not mine.
God’s vision is always about people, heaven, and accordance to His word!
God’s vision will keep you up at night!

I could go on and maybe I should. The bottom line is that I will be a vision idiot until I die. I will live in such a way that sees what God sees and then give my life to see it be. I realize that means a great sacrifice, oh well. Recently God has been pushing me about a national movement of His spirit. That is frightening to me because of my inadequacies. I see what He wants to do in North America, but I can’t do it or lead it. I must remember that it is not about me!
I love this question … What would you do for God if you knew you could not fail? I know my answer. Do you?
