Share!By Tom Shanklin God has a purpose for your life, and it’s greater than you think! His purpose for you is connected with His grand purpose, which is to fill the earth with His glory. As you put yourself in position to hear from Him, meditate His Word, allow yourself to dream big dreams and begin to walk out your purpose, you will begin to see it come to pass. This message will inspire, encourage and inform you how to fulfill your divine purpose in life. Sermon Notes… VISIONS, DREAMS, AND PURPOSES “I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” Habakkuk 2:1-4, KJV. “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2:14, KJV. MAIN THOUGHT: We can accomplish God’s purpose as we receive God’s vision, release our creative capacity to dream, discover our purpose and act upon these things. WE BEGIN TO RELEASE THE POTENTIAL OF GOD WHEN WE RECEIVE JESUS! “…Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3, KJV. “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” 1 Peter 1:23, KJV. Habakkuk said I’m gonna get up on the tower. I’m going to submit myself to God and begin to get a higher perspective. I’m going to listen to Him and be corrected as needed. I’m going to get out of my rebellion and chose God’s will. Only then could he hear from God. THE VISION OF OUR LIFE IS FORMED THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2, KJV. “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee?
