Vision With Wings
This is a very special writing; why? Because is the testimony of my life as I know it now. On April 28, 2011; I found myself in a situation which brought me total confusion paralleled with a celebration of a new life. The confusion was my religious upbringing to a systematic way of understanding what it means to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. The steps that are needed to begin this new process in your life as the base as many religions proclaim is the only way: 1) Accepting with your Heart; 2) Confessing with your mouth; 3) Water Baptism and 4) Manifestation of the Holy Spirit (which in some cases or in some religions this also means the speaking of tongues). 2 Thes. 2:10-13
As you can see I was at a dilemma. It was so hard for me to understand this change. I can comprehend a lot of things now that at the time I was unable to see. It was my beginning!! One thing that I did know and had no problems with was accepting and confessing “Jesus as my Lord & Saviour”. When I made that commitment as He knows it; my life changed completely. I was not free from sin; since I know that we come from a fallen nature. But I knew in my heart that He was the only way I wanted to live now. John 14:6
At that moment I began to carry a burden. My life was supposed to be liberated from all of that heavy load that the world offers. That is what the Bible tells me why was I feeling so lifeless. My body went back in time to relive that moment that brought me to that day before April 28, 2011. The questions arose one after the other: In what name am I supposed to be baptized??? Does it have to be in a church???? What if I am not a member of a church?? and I have this immediate need?? What if the manifestation of the Holy Spirit is not present in my life?? What happens now???? Am I doing the right thing??? Or am I also following a man structured system that shows me the way of living as a Christian?? Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 2:38
Clueless on what to do and unable to find answers that I so much needed. My brain was in total chaos and was full of darkness absent from the light that brings the enlightenment to any situation. All this confusion debilitated by body and brought me to rest to fall in a deep sleep. His faithfulness comforting my every thought and embracing my weakness. Giving me the strength and allowing my eyes to be witness to His words. Behold this is what I saw: “Holy Spirit: My Internal Voice”, “Son: My Authority” and “Father: Authority Over Authority”.
What was this that I was seeing?? I do not understand. At the time I sought for answers to all my questions and I knew that the words I saw were the beginning to able me to take that step. I took it literal I figured God was telling me to perform the baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But what about the other questions? Well; I figured since He gave me those words He was giving me “the okay” to proceed with the process. I did not belong to any church but my parents did; but I was not a member and I did not want to wait to fulfill all the requirements. I wanted to act on how I was feeling and my urgent need to change. I continued to ask my parents to be witnesses to my commitment. What better choice than the people that He had selected to be my guides on this journey of life. On May 01, 2011; I dedicated my life to serving the “One True God – YHWH” יְהֹוָה. Exodus 3:14
When the confession was made and my lips uttered my commitment; I was submerged into the water. My whole life flashed in front of eyes and who I was before was now only a vague memory. I was pulled out and given a second chance to live. The “Breath of Life” was now my constant reminder of my connection with my Saviour. Genesis 2:7, 2 Cor. 5:17
The knowledge of the love I had for Him and the reciprocation of it gave me the strength to begin. This was the beginning of a beautiful relationship! He guided my every reading with my limited understanding. I began having continuous experiences through dreams and visions. He illustrated things to a basic level; so that I can receive the message in its entirety. My willing heart and desire to seek Him became my number one priority; everything else in my life just fell in place. Psalm 37:23
But as I started understanding a little bit more with time I realized how primitive my understanding of the process of becoming a Christian was. I was so blinded by the darkness that covers our vision of life. Unable to understand what was important…all those questions that were once the author of my confusion became only a memory of my past. 1 Peter 3:18-22
On June 08, 2013; I was impacted by the reality of what the revelation of those Words that catapulted me to a new dimension meant. I realized that my ignorance was embraced by my Lord not to show me then; since it would have also caused confusion. I love how He takes our limited systematic understanding returns it back to us with a message of Truth. The tool to becoming a Christian or should I say an Ambassador is understanding the “Vision of your Purpose”. Hosea 4:6
Vision without the tools for your work on this earth will not be effective. You are the only one that has to discover that in yourself. If you do not fully understand the mission that you have in your life you will be unable to fulfill your vision and it will only become a memory of what could have been. Uncover that “Internal Voice” that will guide your every way to your goal! Redeem the “Authority” to take control of your domain! You are fully equipped to extend your “WINGS” to fulfill the vision that the “Authority over Authority” placed in your life. Genesis 1:26-28
At that moment I saw God’s plan in my life! My vision was now a vivid reality; and the process to my journey’s fulfillment was now my goal. The Author of my Book of Life began His writing…..Psalm 139:13-16
