This is a word for the servant of God who has been given a vision to do something great for the kingdom of heaven. Be encouraged and may your spirit be refreshed and comforted by His Word.
The vision, dream, and desire for ministry that you have has been implanted in your spirit by the Spirit of God. When you decided that you were going to serve Him with all of your heart, mind, and soul you became a trophy of grace that He would use to bring honor to His Son. Your life will be a living witness to all who knew the old you. Many will see what God has done in and through you and they too will believe in Christ Jesus and put their trust in Him.
He has given you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. The old stony and stubborn heart is gone. He has replaced it with a tender and responsive heart. Your heart is for God and the things of God. Your spirit longs to serve Him, to build up the kingdom of heaven, and to reach out to the lost and hurting. You are becoming more and more like Christ daily because His Word is constantly renewing your mind and transforming you. You know what God wants you to do because you have the mind of Christ and the Spirit of God living in you. You have God given desires growing inside of you. Your heart’s desire is like His, that no soul should perish but that they would know the Truth, repent, and be saved. You desire to be used by Him and therefore you have consecrated your life to Him to use as He sees fit. Since you have delighted yourself in the Lord and sought His kingdom first He WILL give you the desires of your heart. You will receive whatever you ask because you obey Him and do the things that please Him. The vision to do the ministry that He has called you to do will come to pass sooner than you think.
If you want to walk on water you have to step out of the boat, even if that means leaving others in the boat. Walking on water is a risk that many others are not willing to take. Don’t focus on what’s going on around you have to keep your eyes on Jesus then you will not sink. Remember His promises. Remember all that He has already done in your life. You know that He is faithful and true to His Word so step quickly when you sense Jesus inviting you to take risks for Him. Your faith and courage will inspire and motivate others to move forward in their calling too.
There will be times where you will feel inadequate and ill-equipped, but you have everything you need in Christ Jesus. He will direct you. His Word will be a light to your feet and will direct your steps. He has given you every spiritual gift you need to keep you strong. He has empowered and equipped you to do His will so do not listen to fear. Fear is determined to paralyze you so that there is little or no progress toward fulfilling the vision. Fear can be deceitful and will try to creep into your life in different forms such as compromise, worry, complacency, and contentment. So beware because fear often times is the influence behind these.
You will not be able to have everything figured out all the time. Remember that faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things that we cannot see. You are called to walk by faith, not by sight, nor by straight intellect. Be lead of the Spirit. Don’t try to put God in a box. He is the God of impossibilities. He is the God who parts seas for His people. He is the God that feeds the multitudes with a couple of fish and loaves of bread. He is the God that provides all of your needs from His riches and glory. He is the God that will ask you to move in faith when the rest of the world would say, “Don’t, not now!” Listen to the Spirit of God, not to the voice of men.
Remember that God is your source of hope and He will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Now is the time to get out of the boat and walk on the water.
