• When you embrace your DESTINY it makes you a V. I. P.! • V: Vision Pro.29:18 • I : Integration John 17 • P: Purpose Mark 4:26-28
• We will never come to our DESTINY until we live and act like V I P’s!
• Your VISION determines your DESTINY
– Your ability to dream is a GOD given gift. – It is the source of CREATIVITY and FREEDOM – This is why satan is first and foremost a DREAM KILLER – Proverbs 13:12 “ Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.”
• But satan CAN’T kill your dream—ONLY YOU CAN! • Your dreams are high and lofty—perhaps beyond human reach. But they are SUPPOSED to be that way! • Your dreams are a PROCESS not simply a PRODUCT!
• “Dreams are the substance of great achievement” E. Cole • Just ask the kid with the “C” on his paper • Dreams + Vision= Maximum Impact • The second part of this is INTEGRATION
– blend into a functioning or unified whole : unite
• Your sphere of influence is your call for integration. • I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ep. 4:1-4
• Endeavoring: ‘determined effort’ • The love, longsuffering, and unity that we must have is displayed not when we all agree but when we don’t. It is when we don’t understand, we were the recipient of an unkind word—that is the test of unity.
• “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.” John 15:5-8
• This fruit: is it souls? Is it character? Is it Christ-likeness? • YES!
