Pastor Steve Kelly – Wave Church
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)
Then the Lord answered me and said, “Record the vision And inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run. “For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay. Habakkuk 2:2-3
- Without vision, you regress
- Vision keeps you young.
- You need to wear the restraint of your vision.
- Vision is written down.
- Vision is clear.
- Vision is something you can run with.
- Vision has an end in mind.
The only miracle Jesus prayed for twice was for a man to have his vision restored.
