Joel Osteen - Write Your Vision

The scripture says in Habakkuk 2:2, "Write the vision. Make it clear so it can be read on the run".

It's not enough to just think about it, hope that it happens, imagine it. When you write it down, you give it permission to come to pass.

Write the vision down. Get an agreement with God. You need to see it again and again, so it will take root.

Now many of you have done this, you've written your vision, you've kept it in front of you. Habakkuk 2:3 goes on to say, "Though the vision tarries, wait on it. For it is for an appointed time and it will not be late". The vision may be tarrying, but wait in faith, wait with expectancy, knowing that God is working. Keep thanking him that it's on the way. Keep talking like it's going to happen. You are closer than you think. You're on the verge of seeing something that you've never seen.

Who knows where God will take you if you will dare write the vision? It's not enough to just think it, just imagine it, takes on a new life when you write it down. Keep something in front of you that reminds you what God promised.

Get in agreement with God. You don't have to figure it out, he didn't ask you to write the how, he just said, "Write what I've spoken to you". As you keep that vision in front of you, and thanking him that it's on the way, declaring that it's going to happen, God promise is that there is an appointed time that it will show up, and it will not be one second late.
