Prayer Tool of Visioning and Visualization - Razor Blades and the Utility Knife


God communicates with us in various ways. Sometimes it’s in words, and other times it may be through pictures. A vision is a big picture. It is razor- sharp and cuts through the images of lack, limitation, or impossibility. A vision shows you what God can do with, thru, and as you. As a visionary, God may call you to gather other people together who connect with the vision and have a piece of the puzzle. “Without a vision, the people perish (Proverbs 28:19).” A vision keeps you alive and moving in the direction of your good and your Divine purpose.

“Write the vision and make it plain upon the tables so that he that reads it can run with it (Habakkuk 2:1-4).” Like God told Habakkuk, the prophet, when you receive a vision, write it down. With a written vision, as challenges arise in the fulfillment of the vision, you can always go back to the original document to keep you on target.

A utility knife holds the razor blade in place so that it can cut wood, cardboard, or other materials. After receiving the razor blade of vision, you need a utility knife of visualization to help you hold the vision steady. Visualization is an “in your face” reminder of the vision and gives you a quick assessment of where you are in the process of the vision coming to pass. An example of visualization is a Vision Board with your goals for the year.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance

  You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance because we were predestined according to the purpose of God, who works all things after the counsel of Divine Will."  Ephesians 1:11    Affirmation: My health is optimal because it’s God’s will that all of my relationships are harmonious.                                                    Ephesians 1:11 reminds us that we have obtained an inheritance through Christ. If earthly parents and grandparents can leave behind an inheritance of tangible and intangible value land, homes, recipes, wisdom, or even prayer, how much greater is the inheritance from our heavenly Father?  An inheritance implies that someone thought of you before their passing, made intentional plans, and had a desire for your future. Similarly,...
