Prov. 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. No vision, open vision 1 Samuel 3:1 states. The word of the Lord was precious as the Lord did not speak to them often or frequently in the day of Eli because of sin.

     Till Samuel came on the scene God had not spoken much to the people because of the Priest's slack of concern for the law and word of God. They had made God non effect by their lifestyle. The people were exposed to the dangers of sin because the work of God was withheld from them.

     Today, just as in those days, the people are idle and play. They do nothing to gain knowledge of God and His ways because of the lack of instruction on what to do or how to do it. People are rebellious against God because the preachers have failed to give vision into the word that would instruct them on how they can be good examples of Christ so they know no better than they are directed.

     So many church goers today are like sheep having no shepherd and are left to perish for the lack of knowledge because so many ministers, in the name of political correctness or not wanting to offend, will not expound on the word of God.

     I am glad that at Solid Rock there is a congregation that is hungry for the word of God and desire to know what is the breadth and length, and depth, and height that is in God. A vision has been opened unto us thru God and my desire is to take you there that we might together hear what the Lord is saying unto the end time church.

     He desires a people that will live according to His word that he may make the vision plain to all that are willing to hear. I do not want it said of the church I attend, that there is no open vision but I want it spread abroad that the Lord is talking to us frequently and we are heeding His word. A church that God speaks to is a blessed church because it does not stumble around not knowing the will of God but walks in the light of the gospel as God reveals it unto them.

     I am excited about 2009 because I believe that the Lord is going to make Himself greatly known in our midst as we desire to draw closer to Him by the word. The vision is all around us - all we need to do is to open ourselves up to it and reap the benefits of knowing without doubt that God is bringing His vision to pass in our lives.

     Please keep me in your prayers that I will be able to minister the vision that God has given to Solid Rock so those that hear may understand and grasp it. Great wonders in God lie before us - let us boldly embrace Him and His word that we may experience them.
