Red Talk
2 Kings 13:20-21 NIV Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring. Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. When the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.

Proverbs 29:18 AMPC Where there is no vision, the people perish…

Chazown (khaw-zone’) A dream, revelation, or vision. • A vision for life will bring focus. • A vision for life will bring endurance. • A vision for life will bring fulfillment. Ephesians 1:11 MSG It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for… part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.

To Find My Purpose

Ephesians 5:8-18 NIV For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

  1. What am I doing that I should not be doing?

  1. What am I not doing that I should be doing?

James 4:17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.

    1. Why not do it today?

2 Corinthians 6:2 I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
