VISION
I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision.
Acts 26:19
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=ac+26:19&sr=1
If we lose the vision, we alone are responsible, and the way we lose
the vision is by spiritual leakage. If we do not run our belief about
God into practical issues, it is all up with the vision God has
given. The only way to be obedient to the heavenly vision is to give
our utmost for God's highest, and this can only be done by
continually and resolutely recalling the vision. The test is the
sixty seconds of every minute, and the sixty minutes of every hour,
not our times of prayer and devotional meetings.
"Though it tarry, wait for it." We cannot attain to a vision, we must
live in the inspiration of it until it accomplishes itself. We get so
practical that we forget the vision. At the beginning we saw it but
did not wait for it; we rushed off into practical work, and when the
vision was fulfilled, we did not see it. Waiting for the vision that
tarries is the test of our loyalty to God. It is at the peril of our
soul's welfare that we get caught up in practical work and miss the
fulfilment of the vision.
Watch God's cyclones. The only way God sows His saints is by His
whirlwind. Are you going to prove an empty pod? It will depend on
whether or not you are actually living in the light of what you have
seen. Let God fling you out, and do not go until He does. If you
select your own spot, you will prove an empty pod. If God sows you,
you will bring forth fruit.
It is essential to practise the walk of the feet in the light of the
vision.
