the vision is JESUS

"When God wants to initate a new movement in history,he does not intervene directly,but sends us dreams and vision that can,if attended to,initate the process"-Walter Wink

I found this quote on my friend Lile from Macedonia's blog (see people list).I i dont know who Walter Wink is but this quote touched my heart in a big way. God is giving me alot of dreams and visions at the moment which is pretty amazing. They are only forming and taking shape presently. they are dreams for my life personally, dreams for the church and dreams for the world. He is waking me in the night desperately trying to break my heart for the lost and i am being so stubborn, aware that it will change my life beyond recognition. He wakes me and tells me to be expectant, for what i dont know. it excites the very core of my being and engages with my soul in the most comfortable and yet uncomfortable of ways.

I want more of God more than anything else in the wolrd, in the universe but at the same time so much holds me back from everything that He is offering me. Do i really want everything the creator of the universe has to offer? that is entirely beyond comprehension, Habakkuk 3:6 says

"He stood and shook the earth;he looked and made the nations tremble. the ancient mountains crumbled and the age old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal"

God is massive and powerful and majestic and beautiful and so much more than i could ever possibley ever hope to imagine. Embracing him in the way i long to will turn my life upside down and make the wolrd's view of me change even more. It would make christians views of me change even more. I would become that weird chrsitian who is utterly sold out on the kingdom of heaven no matter what. I'm desperate to get to that place but at the moment i have alot of things that matter that are getting in the way.

All i can do for now is to continue to seek Him and pray He will continue to reveal his dreams and visions to me so that eventually i will come to that place of utter submission before Him as i see more and more of his beautiful plans and how i can play a part in His story.

pray
