How Do You Know If Your Vision Is From God?

Apr 18, 2008

Great question…here are a few suggestions…

  • If you feel confident that you can accomplish what is in front of you with no problem at all…then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If no one is angry at you…then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If you don’t have to ask anyone to sacrifice to make the vision come true…then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If religious people are not steaming at you, blogging about you and/or leaving your church…then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If you have the money in the bank to do what God has asked you church to do…then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If every step is perfectly designed and nothing happens to totally throw you off along the way…then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If someone doesn’t try to talk you out of what you are about to attempt…then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If you don’t stay up at night thinking about the vision…then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If your vision is in contradiction to God’s Word…then you didn’t hear from God.  (And no, you didn’t get a “special revelation” that gave you permission to trump His Word!)
  • If you know all of the answers…then you didn’t hear from God.

Those are just a few things that came to mind. :-)
