Vision Casting

Where there is no Vision, the people perish: but he that keepth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18

I've heard the words thrown around and I have said them about my self and to others but I think really understanding what each of them mean and how they apply to you is very important. How is it that we will fulfill what He has asked of us if we don't understand or know the vision?

We are appointed, anointed, carry mandates and mantles. If we don't know what those even are but they just get thrown around I think we get in trouble of loosing sight and soon perish. I've wandered because I haven't fully kept the vision of what he has called me to, appointed me for, anointed me to do, carry the mantle and hold the mandate.

appointed: to choose (someone) to have a particular job : to give (someone) a position or duty: to decide or establish (something) in an official way: to decide (the time or place at which something will happen or be done)

anointed:: to officially or formally choose (someone) to do or to be something

mandate: an official order to do something: the power to act that voters give to their elected leaders

mantle: the position of someone who has responsibility or authority


I think when you can answer those questions about yourself, will help your vision greatly and know what to run after. Not that I have it all answered or figured out but there's something to be said about having vision and how it brings life.

I know I carry a MANTLE of JOY and Life that changes atmospheres and breaks chains off of people.

I am ANOINTED to mend and disciple the hopeless and brokenhearted.

I don't know what my MANDATE is but I'm pressing into Him who will give that to me.

I am APPOINTED to be an evangelist to the Nations.

I am called to be a MESSENGER, one that shares the heart of God, His Holiness, Purity, and LOVE.

I DESIRE to be about His business and bring the Kingdom, living a Kingdom Lifestyle.

God has been speaking to me about the Process into the Promise. Sometimes I don't always know what he has promised me or what the Promised Land will look like. Which makes it harder to know what I am fighting for, but as I spent time with Him he told me to remember the things He has said to me, spoken over me. Remember the Promise. Seek out what those promises are.

So, He is taking me somewhere. A place of fulfillment. A place of PROMISE. But it will not be handed to me on a silver platter. When Joshua was called to lead the Israelites God repeatedly told him 'Be strong and courageous for I am with you wherever you go.' Knowingly there would be battles to claim that Land. But He went into those battles with a victorious heart knowing that God would give them over. Same with Joseph, God had given him Dreams and Promises. The battles and seasons he had to go through seemed devastating, but He HELD onto Gods words and Promises!

Gods Hope is Sure! When HE gives you Hope for a future... its not flighty and not a WHAT IF. HE is not a man that He should LIE. It is True. It is weighty. It is SURE. It WILL COME TO PASS! Doesn't that just lift your heart?! It does mine!

"Not one of all the Lord's good promises to the house of Israel failed; every one was fulfilled."  Joshua 21:24

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Romans 5:5

God is so good. I love him so much. He has never failed me, even in the darkest of nights and the highest of Days.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23

There is so much more to life than this and I am not about to settle for anything less than what God has. So lets fight for that PROMISE.
