RECEIVERS AND ENABLERS
VISION & UNDERSTANDING:
Understanding Is the Critical Step Before Wisdom/Application, [Prov. 4:7].
The Vision Receiver:
The Biblical Pattern: God Shares Vision with One Person. [To Avoid Confusion]
The Vision Receiver Is the Subject Expert – Picture Carrier.
The Vision Receiver Is Called to Share the Vision as God Has Shared It, [Hab. 2:2].
The Vision Enabler:
The Biblical Pattern: The Vision Enabler Is Called with Gifts Aligned with the Vision.
The Vision Enabler is A Subject Expert – Vision Birther.
Adam = Vision Receiver & Eve = Vision Enabler, [Gen. 1 & 2}.
Abram = Vision Receiver & Sarai = Vision Enabler, [Gen. 12]
Moses = Vision Receiver & Israel = Vision Enablers, [Ex. 3 & 4}.
Jesus = Vision Receiver & The Disciples = Vision Enablers, [Matt. 4:19].
VISION & TRANSGRESSION:
Vision Enablers Must Not Tell Vision Receiver What He Sees, [Prov. 13:15].
Vision Receiver Must Not Tell Vision Enabler How It’s to Be Done, [1 Cor. 14:40].
Key: Transgression is Avoided When Each Recognizes the Other’s Dominion Area.
Key: Transgression is Avoided When We Learn to Submit To Each Other, [Eph. 5:21].
Conclusion: Where There Is Understanding, Vision Moves Much Faster Toward Fulfilment.
Prayer: Holy Spirit, Give Us Understanding In All Things, In Jesus’ Name.

THE 2ND VISION QUESTION: WHAT WILL YOU HAVE ME TO DO?
Conclusion: Vision is Best Cast When These Three Things Are Understood.
Prayer: Holy Spirit, Draw Me Closer To Jesus Christ, My Lord.
THE TWO QUESTIONS
THE CRITICAL MIND SHIFT:
Church = Believers as the Body Of Christ, [1 Cor. 12:27]. Ex. 19:5-6/1 Peter 2:9
Past Believers Make Up the Cloud of Witness, [Heb. 12:1-2].
Current Believers Are Being Developed by Christ, [Matt. 16:18].
Key: Be Intentional and Call Yourself the Church. I Am the Church!
THE 1ST VISION QUESTION: WHO ARE YOU, LORD?
The Believers’ 1ST Priority Is Their Relationship with Jesus, [Acts 9:5].
Faith, Prayer, Worship, Scripture, Meditation, Fasting Cultivates This Relationship.
This Relationship Prepares, Directs, And Sustains One in Their Vocation. Now
This Relationship Enables/Realizes Eternal Purpose, [Rom. 8:28]. Not Yet
Key: The 1ST Question Is Relational.
THE 2ND VISION QUESTION: WHAT WILL YOU HAVE ME TO DO?
Vocation Flows Out of Relationship = Knowing Leads to Doing, [Acts 9:6].
Vocation Unveils Temporal Calling, Gifting, And Purpose, [1 Cor. 7:20].
Vocation Unveils Our Earthly Dominion as Salt & Light, [Gen. 1:28; Matt. 5:13-16].
Key: The 2ND Question is Vocational.
Conclusion: Vision is Best Cast When These Three Things Are Understood.
Prayer: Holy Spirit, Draw Me Closer To Jesus Christ, My Lord.
