Get hope again, get vision again

These three remain: faith, hope and love. Apostolic leaders are meant to be some of heaven’s best hope bringers/carriers. When they become cynical or pessimistic and fail to bring hope, the people begin to lose their way. I believe we are all called to be apostolic, but those who are graced as apostolic leaders in our time are also especially graced to equip in this.

In the last two years we have seen many people encounter crisis of proportions that have eroded hope, and what I saw in the dream made me realise that many leaders stopped “dreaming with God” in this time because of the unusual chaos and circumstances, which in turn caused them to see the natural and therefore blueprint the natural, instead of the hope of another realm.

Apostolic leaders must be visionaries. Without vision the people perish. Vision is not the catchy phrase that you brainstorm on a Saturday with your team or put up on your wall; it is the very ability to see and the ongoing ability to see. More than that, it is the grace to help others to see too.

You are meant to blueprint heavenly realms. Perhaps it is time to clean your eye gates or buy eye salve so that you can see (Rev 3:18). Then, once you have remembered how to buy eye salve and how to see, equip the saints. In plain English, teach those around you how to do it too.

What do you see? Where are you even looking? Which dimension has caught your attention lately? It is usually easy to tell because out of the abundance of our heart, our mouth speaks.

(Please note: I write this post to “apostolic leaders” as that is whom the dream specifically addressed and because to apostles a grace is given to equip, but this same principle and dream applies to all leaders, to prophetic people, and to all believers as I believe we are an apostolic people, and of course all meant to have both hope and vision. Grace to you as we grow.)
