GOD'S EMPOWERMENT FOR VISION

Too often we seek to engage in vision under our own power. Instead we need to remember something Doug Fields says in his book FRESH START: "God takes care of the POWER part, we take care of the cooperation part."

If we attempt to carry out our vision under our own power, dependent upon what we are capable of accomplish instead of cooperating with God's power - at best we will only do what we desire to do instead of what God has called us to do. Any vision that can be achieved without God's active involvement and empowerment is really not God's vision. And God's vision cannot be accomplished apart from trusting Him to equip us and resource the mission strategy that carries out that vision.

What does that involve? We will continue describing this in our next post.
