Howâs the âvisionâ of your local church developed and implemented, fam?
- Thus says the Lord of hosts:
âDo not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They make you worthless;
ï»żThey speak a vision of their own heart,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.
They continually say to those who despise Me,
âThe Lord has said, ï»żâYou shall have peaceâ â;
And to everyone who ï»żwalks according to the ï»żdictates of his own heart, they say,
ï»żâNo evil shall come upon you.â â
For ï»żwho has stood in the counsel of the Lord,
And has perceived and heard His word?
Who has marked His word and heard it?
âI have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, âI have dreamed, I have dreamed!â How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart, who try to make My people forget My name by their dreams which everyone tells his neighbor, ï»żas their fathers forgot My name for Baal.
âThe prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream;
And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the wheat?â says the Lord.
âIs not My word like a ï»żfire?â says the Lord,
âAnd like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
- Jeremiah 23:16-18; 21-24.
I think, maybe, we should stop trying to manufacture our own visions, our own dreams, and instead focus on the things God has spoken.
Hey! God HAS truly spoken to humans that we could know Him. I donât know that this is as shocking as it ought to be.
