Have you considered the cost?

Recently while walking through my home, I heard these words in my hearing, “have you considered the cost?” I immediately began to think about the many prophetic words and dreams we as the people of God receive about our destinies. Many people have received prophetic words or have had dreams of doing great things for the Lord. The focus many times is on the greatness for the glory of who we are destined to become. But then reality kicks in at some point in our lives, that the cost of becoming and fulfilling that word or dream must be understood in the context that the word of the Lord will be tried before it comes to pass. We can observe this in the life of Joseph in Genesis chapters 37-50. Joseph was tested and tried in many areas before the dream came to pass. Have you had a dream or vision that was so profound and you’ve been waiting for it to come to pass? As you read this post, I want you to consider the cost that is associated with that word or vision…. are you willing to walk through the process of whatever it takes to fulfill His will for your destiny? The cost is in the process…. the cost maybe the loss of friends, family, the church folks, divorce, death of a spouse or child, loneliness, character assassination, health issues, or financial devastation. I remember going through a spiritual storm that lasted for months. It was so fierce that   I didn’t think I could make it through another day…BUT GOD! I had to walk through the valley of shadow of death. I had to learn to walk in his strength and not my own. You see, many years ago I had a vision concerning my destiny. Now that I look back over my life, I can see the process I have come through and the spiritual formation that is and will be necessary for his glory and my good. In hindsight I think if I had considered the cost in the natural, I would not have been so happy about what He showed me. My focus was on the greatness of the vision, but had no clue that the word would be tried. My purpose in writing this post is to make those that are waiting for that prophetic word or vision to come to pass aware, that you’re in the process of the word being tried…hang in there and yield to the process…keep a mindset that whatever the cost I am willing to stand and having done all to stand I will stand…although the vision may tarry, I’m going to wait for it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it. Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Hab. 2:3

Clear Vision in 2020

Do you have clear vision? Can you see what God is doing?

When I graduated from High School our class song was titled “Do you know where you’re going to? by Diana Ross. The first part of the song lyrics are as follows:

Do You Know
where you’re going to?
Do you like the things?
that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
do you know?

When January 2020 came many people had their sayings for the year, for me I kept hearing the words “Clear Vision” in my spirit. When I sat down the Holy Spirit began to give me this writing to share. I also ministered this word at a church the first Sunday in January. I would have to say in all honesty that this word has set a precedent in how I plan to view the rest of this year and my walk in Christ. This word found me first before I was able to minister it with boldness and confidence.

Proverbs 29:18 If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves. But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed. (The Message Bible)

I think we all can agree that the natural eyes are needed to show you where you are going, but most importantly we as the people of God need to have clear spiritual vision to see and go where God wants to take us. Do you know where you are going?

In my research about 20/20 vision, I found an interesting fact; 20/20 vision in optometry is considered average but 20/15 vision is considered above average. There is also 20/200 vision which is considered legally blind. In honesty what is your spiritual vision? is it average, above average, or are you blind? In the natural we must have an eye exam to know the condition of our eyesight especially as we age. In the spiritual we also need an eye exam it is called (SEE) Spiritual Eye Exam. A spiritual eye exam allows you to know whether you are on the right path in your spiritual walk with Him. When was the last time you had a SEE? What were the results? Do you have 20/20 vision for what God wants to do through you and for you? Do you have 20/15 vision, a sharp eyesight into the things of God? This type of eyesight comes as you mature in Christ, this is what I am striving for…to see above the average level of the ordinary; and see what God is doing. Is your spiritual vision 20/200 putting you in the spiritually blind category? You can’t see what God is doing? Do you know where you’re going in 2020?

What are your expectations in 2020? What you expect to receive from God will be based on your SEE-what you see is what you will get. As the months roll on, I want to encourage us all to read 2 Cor. 13:15 (AMP) Exam yourself to see whether you are in the faith and living your lives as committed believers. I believe Holy Spirit wants us to have such a clear vision this year, so that we may fulfill our purposes in him. The only way to really know the things God has for us we must see and know it with clarity and accuracy…clear vision is a must! Exam yourself to make sure you are in the right posture to receive all he has in store for you to complete your destiny in Him!

Remember Proverbs 29:18 tells us If we can’t see what God is doing, we will stumble all over ourselves. God is not withholding anything good thing from those who walk upright. My prayer for the body of Christ is…that we open our eyes to see what our Lord is doing and attend to what he reveals!

Blessings to you,
