Daily Rhema: WRITING THE VISION

Proverbs 29:18 NAS
Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, But happy is he who keeps the law.

Proverbs 29:18 NKJV
Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.

The scripture tells us that where there is no vision or revelation of God’s purposes, the people of God will cast off restraint. In other words, it is the revelation of God’s purposes, plans and rewards that cause us to restrain, or discipline ourselves to do the will of God.

Colossians 1:27-28 NKJV
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

1 John 3:2-3 NKJV
And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

This hope is a vision, or revelation of Christ perfected in us: the hope of glory.

How then do you get this vision and write it upon your heart, so it continues to restrain and motivate you?

Habbakuk 2:1-3 NKJV
I will stand on my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected. Then the LORD answered me and said: Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads 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.

We get the vision by watching in the place of prayer in the Spirit (Eph. 6:13-18), and praying for the spirit of wisdom and revelation with an attitude of the fear of the Lord (Eph. 1:15-17).

We write the vision upon our hearts by constant (i.e. daily as a habit) prayer, meditation, confession and practice of the scriptures God has used to give us the vision or revelation.
As we diligently do this, we will run with the vision and ultimately fulfil it in its fullness.
