The Vision Brings Manifestation
“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. Habakkuk 2:2-3, ESV
Several years ago, my aunt was visiting my parents with one of her daughters. At the time of their visit, they were all living in another of my aunt’s daughters' homes. Things were becoming difficult, and problems were starting to arise. They needed to move but didn’t have the income or a place to stay after their visit with my parents. They were planning to move in with another one of my aunt’s daughters and her family.
During their visit, they attended a church service with my parents and received a gift bag for being visitors. Among other items, the bag contained a journal. My mother shared their situation with us and asked us to pray that God would provide them with a place of their own. One day, while we were all visiting, we began discussing their situation and how they wanted to live.
My aunt and cousin said they wanted their own place but couldn’t afford it. I told them to take out those journals and write down everything they desired. At first, they both just said they wanted their own apartment. I asked, "Well, what do you want in it? Do you want a washer, a dryer, a dishwasher? Where do you want to live?" They began writing their desires, but initially, they were focused on what they thought they could afford. I said, "Right now, you can’t afford an apartment, so stop focusing on that and write down what God has placed in your heart.”
They started getting excited, and my cousin asked, "Can I say I want my place to be close to the grocery store so I can walk?" I said, "Absolutely! Write down whatever is in your heart." Within six months of writing down their vision, both of them received their own places. They can now walk to grocery stores, and there’s public transportation to take them into the city.
Neither of them thought they could live on their own. The only vision they had was to live with someone else, relying on others to take care of them. That was all they thought they could afford. But when they changed their vision and wrote down what was in their hearts, things began to shift. When we follow God's word, we witness the miraculous. God has ways beyond our understanding, and He opens doors for His people. I truly believe that when you write down the vision God has placed in your heart, no matter how big it seems, He has a way of making it happen. Write the vision down.
Key points:
Writing the vision down gives you the direction of where you are headed.
Sit with God and write the vision down.
Write the vision down.
Affirmations: Matthew 10:20; Luke 24:32; Ephesians 6:19, Isaiah 55:11
