The Glorious Church's Birth: Understanding God's Plan For Our Lives

As you walk in trust and submit to God's call in your life, you will experience unprecedented favor. My experience indicates that the gift of God within you will create space for your vision, and your vision will create space for the gift of God within you.

Each visionary leader endowed by God with the capacity to hear from God in order to comprehend and properly carry out vision. God endows His leaders with wisdom and judgment, enabling them to determine how, when, and what decisions to make. Because the Lord appointed me sovereignly to the work, He also bestowed upon me the wisdom to know what to do and when to accomplish it.

The only way vision may be fully realized is for God's designated leader to completely devote his or her life to Christ's sovereign rulership. Preparation and pruning of my heart were critical components of being prepared for the dependence of what God had in store for me. Pioneering construction in uncharted area should be undertaken with the grace and wisdom that come from complete reliance on God and trust in His capacity to keep His promises in and to us.
