487 Vision for 2020

2020 is only 3 weeks away! 2020 is the year of vision. The year of seeing our God-given potential clearly, the year of new perspective, the year of focus. 20/20. It’s time to SEE exactly what God can do in a fully surrendered life, anxiously seeking to become all he created us to be. As many of us begin to seek our word for the new year, maybe you just grabbed onto a word right there … vision, potential, perspective, focus, surrender, seek. My sister, this new year holds so much potential for you. Oh what God wants to do in your life. Will you let him? Will you let him come in and demolish some walls you’ve built? Will you let him tear down some old ways of thinking and talking, and some habits you’ve formed which have held you back? Will you let him wreck it so he can work it? This is the year of your makeover. The year things can change for you because YOU change. Change from the inside out. Catch a vision of what God is offering you in 2020. Jesus said John 3:7 – “You must be born again.” What a strange concept Jesus introduced. To be born again. His students were so confused taking his words so literally. “How can someone be born when they are old?” Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” Perhaps you’ve heard it described like this – you must die to self. To rid yourself of your old ways and be made new in Christ. This morning, consider this, being born again as a believer in Christ is to receive a spiritual makeover. You change the way you see yourself. This is when God comes in and repairs your self-image and perception. When you’re born again, you begin to understand you actually are a freaking masterpiece. You are more than a conqueror, you are a champion. You were designed to overcome. And when you catch a vision for who you were created to be, you begin to carry yourself differently. You don’t back down from a challenge because you know who you really are. Do you know who you really are? Have you had that spiritual makeover and changed the way you see yourself? Do you truly see yourself as the person God created you to be? DO YOU SEE YOURSELF CORRECTLY? You’ve got to know who you are. Don’t you know you have treasure down in you? If you could only get a vision for what God wants to do in your life. A vision for who he is making you. A vision for who you truly are. I’m telling you this vision is more valuable than any amount of money. You don’t need more money to level up in life, you need a vision for who God is making you. A vision for who you can become if you won’t give up. A vision for how every challenge and struggle is building and sculpting you into the finest, most precious version of YOU. If you can just get this vision, you will see that what God wants to do is so much bigger than anything you’ve been through or are going through now. You can stop wallowing in all that went wrong, all the people who left, everything they said, and how much you lost. Yes, that can stop right now because what God is doing is so much bigger than any thing that has happened in your past. You choose – what has happened to you or what God is going to do now. Which will you cling to? Don’t you see how God is leading you down a path to make you stronger? Don’t you see how God is using every setback as a set up for your ultimate good? See yourself stepping into the life your heavenly father has available to you. See yourself becoming all he had in mind when he created you. See yourself being born again. Shedding any guilt, shame, anger, bad habits, old ways and old thoughts which are no longer serving you. Standing now as a new being. This is your spiritual makeover. You can now see yourself differently than ever before. God has been repairing your self-image. It’s time to see what he has seen in you fro...
