| I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. —Acts 26:19 |
If we lose “the heavenly vision” God has given us, we alone are responsible— not God. We lose the vision because of our own lack of spiritual growth. If we do not apply our beliefs about God to the issues of everyday life, the vision God has given us will never be fulfilled. The only way to be obedient to “the heavenly vision” is to give our utmost for His highest— our best for His glory. This can be accomplished only when we make a determination to continually remember God’s vision. But the acid test is obedience to the vision in the details of our everyday life— sixty seconds out of every minute, and sixty minutes out of every hour, not just during times of personal prayer or public meetings.
“Though it tarries, wait for it…” (Habakkuk 2:3). We cannot bring the vision to fulfillment through our own efforts, but must live under its inspiration until it fulfills itself. We try to be so practical that we forget the vision. At the very beginning we saw the vision but did not wait for it. We rushed off to do our practical work, and once the vision was fulfilled we could no longer even see it. Waiting for a vision that “tarries” is the true test of our faithfulness to God. It is at the risk of our own soul’s welfare that we get caught up in practical busy-work, only to miss the fulfillment of the vision...Copied.

For every sexual relationship you have before or outside marriage, you're exposing yourself to destruction. God frowns at the defilement of the marriage bed and it is lack of understanding to love what God hates. Do you know what happens for every illicit sexual activities you have when you're not married or you do it outside your marriage? "For by means of a whorish woman, a man is brought to a piece of bread" - Proverbs 6:26a Something is inevitably reduced. How can a man or woman be reduced to a piece of bread when they're alive? It shows that something that's not physical will be reduced in their life. No man...
