... had given me a dream of seeing Life Church grow to 1000...the initial goal not the end. What I called the dream was 1000 by 10. Obviously the dream did not come to pass and I was crushed and embarrassed...I admit that I was not focused on God’s will as much as I should have been. Recently as I have sought God and preached on Miracles...by speaking about Lazarus being resurrected, God has shown me that it was His dream and He has even corrected me for being distracted. I repented.
As I prayed about the re-birth of the vision the Lord led me to Habakkuk 2:13 (NKJV) “I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected. Then the LORD answered me and said: "Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.” You can’t imagine the tears and the joy I had in my heart that God will fulfill what He had placed in my heart...it will surely come!
Why do I believe that God wants us to grow initially to one thousand? The first reason is the most obvious...souls being won into the Kingdom of God. The second is tied to the first, in that we would be able to expand our missions outreach even more and see people coming to Christ all over the world. Please pray that Jesus will give us “God ideas” not good ideas. I am convinced that it is the will of God for His Church to grow numerically because people are being won to Jesus. I also believe, because it is the last days and all hell is breaking loose that believers will want to be part of a church that is making a stand. Life Church, with God’s help, will be that Church! Please pray, please fast, please stay filled with Holy Spirit, and I compel you to bring the lost in!
