Keion Henderson - Driven By Vision

Now I’m going to say something to you. I don’t want you to be mad, but I’m going to say it anyway. Okay? All right, everybody say, «Driven by Vision! Driven by Vision!» All right, I’m about to give you something. You ready? Without a vision, you’re going to slowly lose direction, and when you lose direction, you’re going to lose purpose. And when you lose purpose, you’re going to lose passion. And when you lose passion, you’re going to become passive. And when you become passive, you’re going to lose progress. And after you lose progress, you lose potential. Who said that? Say it again! Who said that? Say it again! All right, well then write it down. Write faster, 'cause I ain’t got all day. You’re the one who wants to get out of church soon. Oh, it’s raining? We ain’t going nowhere. You ready? Who’s ready? Raise your hand if you’re ready! Listen, I’m teaching you today, okay? I know sometimes I like to preach, but sometimes I like to teach. This is a class, okay? Listen to me! Yes, sir, you have to be driven by vision. Without vision, you slowly lose direction. How about you just take your phone out and record what I’m saying? Oh, you got to write the vision? Oh, y’all are so smart; y’all know what to say! All right, without vision, you slowly lose direction, and when you lose direction, you lose purpose. By the way, you ain’t going to find this nowhere because I made this up. This is original; this is an original concept. When you lose purpose, you lose passion. How many of y’all are in that season right now where you just lost the passion? Okay, you ain’t got that drive. Come on, be honest now; everybody doesn’t have it. Okay, matter of fact, just identify where you are in the pendulum so I’ll know. When you lose direction, you lose purpose. Anyone lost direction and purpose? Okay, raise your hand online too. After you lose that, when you lose purpose, you lose passion. Anyone in that place where you know what it is, you just ain’t got the energy to do it? Okay, when you lose passion, you become passive. Anyone just like passive? Meaning like this: you know what, man, just forget it, man; it ain’t going to happen anyway. It is what it is. And when you become passive, you lose progress. And when you lose progress, you’ve lost potential. Potential means that I can look forward to something in you, and when I lose it, it means that people are coming around you knowing you’re great but expecting nothing from you. And let me tell you something: there ain’t nothing worse than being in a relationship where there are no expectations. When I don’t expect you to make me happy anymore, when I don’t expect you to speak to me anymore, when I don’t expect you to hug me when I walk through the door, when I care less if you speak to me when I walk through the door, I am in the most dangerous place of my life. When there is an interaction with no expectation, let me tell y’all something: some of y’all better hurry up and get on your grind because there are people around you right now who are losing expectation in you. When somebody believes in your potential, they’ll give you a chance even if you’re not producing. That’s right; women do this well. When a woman sees a brother with potential—come on, women—when you see somebody with potential, you’ll be like, «Well, he ain’t cute, but you know, God said it ain’t about the face; it’s about the heart.» Looks ain’t everything! You know, I did that already in my 30s; now I just want to be solid and happy. Everybody shout, «Vision!» God is about to reveal to you this year, in the year of significant advancement, why you were born. Hallelujah! That ought to make you so excited because you weren’t born to be somebody’s mama; you just are. You weren’t born to be somebody’s daddy; you just are. You were born to birth that thing that God put inside of you and change the earth. And can I tell you? It’s so big! It’s so big that the earth will shake if you finally drop the baby. It’s so big; it is a multinational, multi-continental anointing. It is so big that if you ever get it, you will not meet the people in your family who will benefit from the time you stomped your foot on the earth and made your noise. When you take your best shot, it’ll last for a thousand generations. I’m not speaking to people who just want to save; I want to speak to people who want to be the bank. I’m trying—oh God, I’m trying to give you my passion without being overboard because everybody in the room doesn’t want to grind like that. Everybody in the room doesn’t want to move like that. Some folks are just glad to barely get along, but there are some folks like, «God, I’m not going to let you go until you show me why I’ve been so depressed in this season. You’ve got to show me a sign; I want you after that vision!» Listen, I want you so tensed up after that vision that it gives you back spasms. Some of y’all are too relaxed, too comfortable. This thing is going to cause you headaches and migraines and dehydration, and you’re not going to eat sometimes when you know you should. 'Cause when you’re after something, you have to be under divine protection. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy…
