For those of you who read Pt.1 I hope it was able to get you to start thinking about your Faith and your Vision! These are two very importatant subjects that are vital to your walk with God! You see we have all been given a vision. Especially those of us that are from Victory Outreach. In Victory Outreach we all know that we have a Global Vision, a Local Vision, and then we have our Personal Vision. Now in order for those Visions to come to pass, it’s going to take Faith!
I know many of you that read Pt.1 thought that this was about Marriage. I know at first it seemed that way, and there was and still is going to be some principles that you can apply to your marriage, but the purpose and the message behind this is Faith!
Do you remember the closing statements of Pt.1? It said…
“Unless your Vision is Married to your Faith, It will never be able to Reproduce and give Birth to seeing that Vision become a Reality!!”
Your Vision must be married to your faith!! And it must be a Healthy Marriage.
Your Vision is like the Egg that is produced from a Women’s Ovaries. Unless it is Inseminated by faith, it will Die off and just become a forgotten Dream!
“The Two must become One”
Just like when me and my wife were married. We were two individuals who now became one. We then were able to reproduce these two beautiful little girls you see in the picture. I couldn’t have done it alone, and neither could she. The same way your Vision and Faith must be joined together in order to reproduce and give birth to seeing it become a reality!
Remember I shared in Pt.1 that a Healthy Marriage consist of three things.
A Healthy Marriage is
1. Consensual – The word Marriage means – The state of being voluntarily and consensually joined for life.
- Consensual means a Law or Agreement not bound by a written document but by Mutual Consent!
- In other words you are making a conscious decision to commit yourself to this relationship for life!
- When you marry someone you are making a conscious decision to forsake all others.
- Just the same, by your Vision agreeing to Marrying your Faith, You are Choosing to Forsake all Negative reports of the doctor, all Lies from the enemy, You are choosing to forsake all spirits of Fear that the enemy would try to bring your way to distract you from giving birth to that Vision and seeing it become a Reality!
Faith is a Choice!!
You have to choose to believe!!
2. Covenantal – When Jesus said Therefore what God has Joined Together Let No Man Separate, he pointed out that this decree stands over the two who are joined under it. In other words, This makes marriage a Covenant Union.
- In the Bible a covenant is a word or declaration that binds two parties together, and this word is held by God! The bond by the covenantal word is Sacred.
- In order for your Vision and faith to have a healthy Marriage, it must be a Covenant Union!
- It must be held as Sacred.
- You see you made a Covenant with God and your partner to Love, Trust, be Loyal and Faithful.
- And when you Don’t show Love and you Break that Trust, when you’re Not Loyal and Faithful, We are Violating and Breaking our Covenant.
You see when your Vision is breaking Trust with your faith, and being Disloyal and Unfaithful to your Faith, You are Violating and Breaking that Sacred Covenant that you made with God!
The Problem many times is that instead of being Faithful to our Faith, Our Vision is Flirting with Fear!!!
What’s Crazy is that there are so many cheaters in the Church!
And We wonder why Our Children are not Saved, And We wonder why our Bank account is Empty, And we wonder why Our Vision hasn’t Given Birth to Reality…
It’s because our vision is having An Affair with Fear!!!
Sad to say there are so many who have been having an affair with fear, and they have allowed their Vision to divorce their faith.
And because of this they have aborted their Vision.
We need to stay faithful to our Faith. Remember, we made a Concious decision to forsake all lies of the enemy. We also made a Sacred Covenant with God that we would believe that this Vision that He gave us would come to pass!
Once we began to believe, we need to start working that Vision. Remember a Healthy Marriage takes Hard-Work, and Faith without works is Dead!
When this happens you are able to have a Climactic Marriage between your Vision and Your Faith!
1. Climactic – When you have a healthy Marriage between your Faith and your Vision, its full of Excitement, Joy and Happiness.
- Its full of Surprises
- Your Satisfied and Fulfilled
- There is Purpose to your life, And it has meaning.
Then you are able to Reproduce and Give Birth To Seeing that Vision become a Reality!
Remember…
“Unless your Vision is Married to your Faith, It will never be able to Reproduce and give Birth to seeing that Vision become a Reality!!”
Your Vision must be married to your faith!! And it must be a Healthy Marriage.
Your Vision is like the Egg that is produced from a Women’s Ovaries. Unless it is Inseminated by faith, it will Die off and just become a forgotten Dream!
“The Two must become One”
“Buiding New E.R.A. Leaders For A New Era”
Rick Alanis Jr.
In Mark 10:8-9 it says “…And the two shall become one ; so they are no longer two but one. Therfore what God has joined together, let no man seperate.”
