Needed in this hour: Fearless Christians with a vision from God
We all know Proverbs 29:18 - "without a vision, the people perish". More sermons have been preached on that verse than we will ever know. And yet, many who have preached on it don't realize what the verse actually means because they don't understand that the word for "vision" actually refers to a prophetic word from the Lord.
Since COVID began, nothing has been more tragic than to watch so many Christians, and Christian leaders, who didn't seem to know what to do. And initially, that's okay. Seek the Lord and ask Him. But many didn't seem to do that. And 6 months later, many Christians are still unclear on what the Lord is calling them to be doing in this hour.
So first of all, let us seek the Lord for that "vision"! For a mandate, for an assignment, etc. Don't look to your 'celebrity prophets'. Look to the Lord personally - seek the Lord in the community in which He has placed you. Add fasting to your prayer and your pursuit. It is so critical that we have a calling from God in this time of so much uncertainty.
Secondly, DEAL WITH FEAR. It has been said (another famous preaching point) that the Bible commands us not to fear 365 times. I have no idea if that number is correct - but the point is clear, FEAR is a huge issue that has to be overcome in the life of a believer. And this whole COVID pandemic has exposed massive fear and anxiety in the Body of Christ.
So we need something and we need to get rid of something.
Get a vision & get rid of fear
Watch the FREEDOM that will come into your life as you do!
