Visionary Faith

Between every vision and it's fulfilment is a difficult and tiring path. So if all hell seems to have broken loose and nothing is going right, rejoice and praise God under your sufferings. The afflictions may confirm your vision more than anything else. God is breaking you in order that the fulfilment of the vision may be of him.
Part of the problem associated with prophetic people arises because they often see things that others don't. And they usually see them long before they come to pass. This can be a frustrating position to be in.
When God has given us a particular vision it is the hardest thing to work and wait. The hardest test for visionary faith is delay. A sure sign of Christian vision is its godly impatience and holy restlessness.
Visionary faith takes on itself the crushing weight of the contradictions of reality. It is often just before the breakthrough that pressure is most intense and faith seems to shudder under the strain. This strain is what causes doubt. The immense weight of contradictory reality crashes against faith. This is not easy.
Church be encouraged.... don't give up, continue to press on. Breakthrough is so close. Keep the faith. Father I pray that you will give us the gift of faith that we would not doubt and we will see the breakthrough in all of the visions you have spoken over your body in this region. And we will praise your name forever. I declare FAITH to arise.
