Vision without self-discipline is an imagination running wild…


Do you have a vision…a goal…a dream…a future…How will you achieve the truth and righteousness of your goal…or dream…or future?


Mat 6:19-24 ASV Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness (not from Jesus of Nazareth), how great is the darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (money or worldly treasure).


When you give money…do you despise having to feed the poor…when you give to God do you despise having to…or do you despise you have to work to feed yourselves…or do you hate to give money…or do you hate to serve God…do you hate God or do you obey (love) God? God never ask us to harm ourselves and never asks us to do wrong…it is safe to love our Creator and His only Son Jesus of Nazareth. Does your goal or dream or vision for your future align with Jesus and His teachings…yes or no?


Mat 7:7-14 ASV Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; 10 or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12 All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets. 13 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. 14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened (difficult) the way, that leads unto life, and few are they that find it.


So have you asked Jesus who is the Author of eternal salvation to bless you with your goal which should align with His teachings so you can do what is right and true by God your Creator yes or no?


Jesus said…Mat 5:6 ASV Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.


Jesus said…John 3:19-21 And this is the judgment, that the Light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their works were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hates the Light, and cometh not to the Light, lest his works should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth the Truth cometh to the Light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.


…Jesus died and was raised from the dead so you could repent or turn away from doing wrong or evil deeds the bible calls sin…such as lying…stealing…coveting (wanting what God has not given you)… Jesus died so all your wrongs could be forgiven…and will teach you how never to do a wrong thing again…but we have to bring to Him all of our past deeds…Jesus when He adopts you also adopts your history…yes that lie you told in first grade…Jesus got to forgive that too….Jesus gives you a plan and purpose…a future…Jesus said…


Jesus said…Matthew 18:3-4 and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.


…We have to be Daddy Jesus may I…Daddy Jesus can I…Daddy Jesus will you…Daddy Jesus look what they did to me…We have to put Jesus first and really are we all not just children in diapers before Jesus?


Father please meet our souls’ deepest needs…heal our sin sickness and administer the remedy…prescription…and cure we need for all our needs to be right with You and Your only Son…may we prosper and be in health as our soul prospers in Truth and righteousness…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
