“If you can dream it, you can do it” ― Walt Disney “The greatest danger… is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.” ― Michelangelo “Pain pushes until vision pulls.” ― Michael Beckwith Famous Quotes: Vision

“It is not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?” ― Henry David Thoreau “ Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare” ― Japanese Proverb “A possibility is a hint form God. One must follow it” ― Soren Kierkegard “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” JC Famous Quotes: Vision

 Can we all share one vision? Romans 15:5-6 “May God grant you to live in such harmony … that together you may with one voice glorify God” Vision “ to see” Mision “ to send”

 What’s your calling? Your Vision? “Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him” 1 Cor. 7:17

 God gives wisdom & Revelation PAUL’s PRAYER OF VISION (Eph. 1:17-20) “may God give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation… having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you… and the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe.”

 Vision turns the world upside down PAUL’S CUSTOM (Acts 17:2-3,7) “Paul went in, as was his custom, he reasoned with them from the Scriptures… they dragged Jason, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also… saying that there is another king, Jesus”

 Vision provokes the Spirit PAUL IN ATHENS (Acts 17:16, 21-23) “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, ‘To the unknown god. ’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you”

 What did Jesus see? JESUS & THE HARVEST (John 4:34-35) “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work… Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest ”

 Mission = Vision gone public JESUS & BLINDNESS (Luke 18:35-41) “he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight”

 Can you see? Are you sent? JESUS’ PRAYER OF VISION (Jn 20:20-23) “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld”
