Vision

Proverbs 29:18 ESV

Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.

Matthew 27:3–5 NIV

When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.” So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

:3-5

Matthew 27

Unclear Vision Can Cause An Identity Crisis

Vision is what you aspire to - its your Northstar! It’s your passion

Vision includes becoming the best mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually!

If you don’t define your win, you can’t celebrate your milestones.

Without vision your identity is dependent upon your daily performance.

When you know who you are and focus on your aspirational mission, you are less impacted by the highs and lows of business and life. You have a solid foundation and a healthy perspective. When values and vision don’t ground you, your identity is dependent upon your performance on any given day.

Too many highs and lows, which in turn creates inconsistency.

Boxed-in-mindset ==> leads to doubt, anxiety, stress, and insecurity.

A defined win/vision protects you from the high and lows of business and life.

You have a solid foundation and a healthy perspective

You’r so much more important than “what you do,” it’s about why you do it. Embrace it.

This mindset boxes people in and leads to doubt, anxiety, stress, and insecurity.

12 spies enter into Canaan on the verge of the promise land.

You’r so much more important than “what you do,” it’s about why you do it. Embrace it.

Grapes = large potential and prosperity.

Giants (Amalikites) = large problem. Adversity and adversaries are part of new opportunities.

1 Corinthians 16:9 NIV

because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.

Grasshoppers. 10 spies say we can’t, two say we can.

Numbers 13:33 NCV

We saw the Nephilim people there. (The Anakites come from the Nephilim people.) We felt like grasshoppers, and we looked like grasshoppers to them.”

The real problem was not the size of the Giants but the lack of faith they could walk in the new opportunities God has provided.

Don’t show God your Giants, show your Giants your God!

Learn from their mistake. God is with you.

Be like Joshua and Caleb. Giants fall. Go get it.
