Vision 2021

Do not lose sight of what God is doing

King James Version Chapter 29

18  Where there is no vision, the people perish:

But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

The New International Version Chapter 29

Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;

but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.

The Lexham Bible Dictionary Vision

VISION (ὅραμα, horama; ὅρασις, horasis; ὀπτασία, optasia; מַרְאָה, mar'ah; חֱזוּ, chezu; מַחֲזֶה, machazeh; חִזָּיוֹן, chizzaiwon). May also be described as a revelation. Witnessing something supernatural that is not visible to the naked eye. May be related to God’s working in the present or the future and may involve the ability to see spiritual entities at work in the physical world. Related to, but not necessarily synonymous with, the concepts of prophecy and prophetic dreams.

The Lexham Bible Dictionary Defining Terms: Dreams, Vision, and Prophecy

Defining Terms: Dreams, Vision, and Prophecy

In biblical usage, dreams (חֲלוֹם, chalom) seem to be slightly distinguished from visions (חָזוֹן, chazon). Visions seem to occur while people are awake, while dreams occur in sleep. However, the information passed to a person through a dream or vision may be functionally equivalent. Both dreams and visions could be described as modes of transmitting prophecy; prophecy could also be described as distinct from dreams and visions in that it usually involves the act of the deity directly speaking, whereas a dream or vision often involves a visual representation of the deity’s will that could require interpretation (Jer 1:13–19; Amos 7:7–9; compare Zech 3:1–10; Acts 10:10–16).

It is also important to note that the word used for “vision” in Hebrew (חִזָּיוֹן, chizzaiwon) also may involve dreams, as the context of the vision coming to Nathan, who prophesied Yahweh’s covenant with David, seems to imply (2 Sam 7:4, 17; 1 Chr 17:15; compare Gen 15:1). This particular example seems to further blur the lines between the traditional categories by speaking of the “word of Yahweh” coming to Nathan, implying that a divine oracle (prophecy itself) has reached Nathan by means of his vision (2 Sam 7:4; compare 2 Sam 7:17, which mentions both “words” and a “vision”; also compare Job 20:8).

The Bible Knowledge Commentary 29:18

29:18. The familiar KJV “where there is no vision” is misleading. The word “vision” is the revelation (ḥāzôn) a prophet receives. Also the KJV translation “the people perish” does not refer to unsaved people dying in sin. The verb pāra‘ means to cast off restraint. So the verse is stating that without God’s Word people abandon themselves to their own sinful ways. On the other hand keeping (obeying) God’s Law (cf. 28:4, 7) brings happiness.

So LM and saints around the world Vision 2021 is not to lose sight of what God is doing but for us to be so locked into God’s word in such away that we do not break free into abandoning our selves or our children ( from who we are in Christ) to living in sinful ways.

The problem is, that in today’s society no one wants to be restrained to the things of God.

but rather be free in the things of satan.

(tell your neighbor wake up you don’t want to miss this)

The problem is, that in today’s society no one wants to be told what to do.

Adults Don’t

Children don’t

Employees don’t

that’s why the world is messed up.

no one wants to be in the word of God - they don’t want to go to church - they don’t want to pray

they do not want to be restrained to living a godly life.

We all in one form or another behave like we don’t know any better

Proverbs 22:6 NIV

6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

The problem in today’s time: some parents let their kids do whatever they want-

watch whatever they want -

say whatever they want;

go wherever they want

and all in the name of love, but without God in their lives their is no real love.

The scripture of God’s word does not say “train up a parent” and if we watch our behavior it seems that - that is what is happening

the kids are telling their parents what to do

I don’t want to go to church -

I don’t want to go to school -

talking back to their parents

and not listening .

and worst of all parents are absent even when present.

Proverbs 1:8 NIV

8 Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

Children have a responsibility but we sometimes don’t hold them accountable

what’s sad is that some parents think they are doing the right thing .

but the devil also wants us to think we are doing the right thing, when you don’t train up a child because the devil knows that if he teaches that there is freedom away from Christ that they will not have freedom in Christ when they get older.

we don’t want to be restrained to anything even if it means not going to heaven.

A soldier get’s trained for his or her purpose

Life Ministries if we lose sight of what God has done and is doing in our lives “we will perish”

The people perish

it’s not referring to unsaved people dying in their sins

It’s referring to Christians that lose their way to pleasure themselves in the way of sin.

we don’t want to obey the word of God because it gives us instruction to be disciplined and not act like fools

LM Vision for 2021

On the other hand is to keep obeying God’s word so that we can be happy and have everlasting joy.

keep praying

keep reading your word

keep loving your children

keep living a healthier life

with the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. phil 4:13

A moving church going wherever we need to go to preaching the gospel. in the book of romans They understood and acted upon the great commission. People could not stop them—Romans 1:16. Paul was not ashamed of the gospel; criticism could not stop him.Prisons could not stop them—Philippians 4:11. in any circumstance Paul was content could not be stopped —Acts 20:24. Paul could say that despite his sufferings, nothing would make him give up Christ. Problems could not stop them—Acts 6:1–15. All threats, and even murder, could not stop Stephen from serving Christ.

Life Ministries and saints all around the world we are A GLORIFYING CHURCH to reach the lost and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15), the church must be filled with the Spirit of God. because Forms and rituals will not accomplish the Great Commission. Plans, programs, and even money will not get the job done. As this church is filled with the Spirit of the living God, we will reach the Goal.

saints loosing sight of God is to perish, to die, spiritually, mentally and eventually physically.

Acts 2:17 NIV

17 “ ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

so when we keep the word of God we have joy - we have peace we gain wisdom and understanding God will speak to us in prophetic visions and in a dreams and grant us favor as we move heavenward in 2021.

let us pray
