Vision is so important that, without
it, the Bible says our life will decay and perish: “Where there is no
vision, the people perish . . .” (Proverbs 29:18, KJV). Another
translation says: “Where there is no revelation (“prophetic
vision”), the people cast off restraint (“live
carelessly”)” (NKJV). Getting to Know God is an entirely living matter now and for ever.
To me, this verse carries a two-fold
challenge: If we are not walking in prophetic vision, seeking God's will 1 corinth1-3 then we are causing others
to live carelessly without conviction of the truth of the Gospel by not allowing the truth to be known among them. Thus we end up are also caught in a downward spiral that causes Luke warmness of heart
and undisciplined living.
And there is no true joy and victory in Christianity
when we live that way nor is there a hope granted to the lost without the Good news.
Our own faith becomes little more then a philosophy with it's lifeless rules and things to do and meetings to go to. A vision becomes a by product of personal connection an effort which has and is seeking the connection spoke of in in John 13-17 KJ3.
