Godly vision isn’t work based on a date, it works in seasons. God will move you into a specific season for a specific harvest every year. (Learn more about seasons in our series called Storms & Battles)
When we speak on vision we mean what is it that we need to focus on. Our prophetic vision for us corporately is A year of open doors.
Revelations 3:8 | “I know your works (behold, I have left an open door before you, which no one can close). You have limited strength, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.”
Open doors = divine opportunity. An open door is dependent on what you want it to look like. No matter how long you have been waiting, keep the faith. The door is open!
How do you you begin to walk in the promises of God.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith— and this [is] not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”
Ephesians 2:8
The promises of God are not automatic, nor convenient. Faith is not convenient. There is a certain level of commitment that faith requires. Seek first the kingdom of God and all these other things shall follow.
There is no growth in comfort zone. God is more concerned about your character than He is about your comfort. Walk by faith in times that are inconvenient and uncomfortable.
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us”
Ephesians 3:20
Vision and Influence
Every single person has been called to be a leader: A person of influence and significance
Our vision ultimately needs to lline -up with vision of the church we are planted in. As mentioned above this year’s prophetic vision is the year of open doors, and that essentially aligns with finding God, discovering purpose, and making an impact – The three pillars of New Season Church.
Find God
Our determined purpose is to be a people rooted and grounded in God’s love and to know Him intimately
“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring”
Acts 17:28
“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;”
Philippians 3:10
Discover purpose
We are determined to create an environment where we are able to discover and pursue God’s call upon our lives
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:10
Make an Impact
We are determined to be a people that supernaturally transform the world around them
“how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.“
Acts 10:38
Every single one of us is significant. Imagine a church where all the people walked in what God has called them to be. Imagine a church where all people recognised their leadership roles in various places where they are planted. There is a reward for walking by faith. Our prayer for our church Ephesians 3:16-19;
“16 that according to the riches of His Glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit zin your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
