INTRODUCTION
This free Bible study course has covered:
Visualization: Identifying the vision.
Conceptualization: Understanding the concept of purpose behind the vision.
Objectification: Objectives for fulfilling the vision.
This final section of the Bible study course concerns Expectation in which you become part of the fulfillment of the vision.
God's desire is to bring you to an expected end:
For I know the thoughts I think toward you saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11
That expected end is fulfillment of the vision, finishing the work of God:
My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work.
John 4:34
Whenever you enter into something new, it always requires leaving the old. Birth requires leaving the security of the womb.
God is asking you to take a new step of faith:
But the Lord says, Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago. Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already - you can see it now. Isaiah 43:18, (The Living Bible)
You may have been bound by doctrine which claims the power of God is no longer for today. You may have thought the extension of the Gospel to the world was the responsibility of ministers or missionaries. You may have been bound by tradition or denominations which prevented you from joining hands with the rest of the Body of Christ in the harvest fields of the Lord.
But God has given you a new vision. You are becoming part of a new network of spiritual laborers bound together by unity of purpose.
