Heavenly Vision
 
Acts 26:19

Acts 26:19 ... I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision
 

Isaiah 6:1 to 9, “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.  Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.  And one cried to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!  And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.  So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts.  Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal, which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.  And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.  Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, "Here am I! Send me.  And He said, "Go, and tell this people: 'Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.'

Dear Brothers and sisters, 

Loving Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Only when we get a clear vision, we will get a direction in our life to achieve some thing for the Lord.  Today let us see about the purpose of God in giving the visions. This visions what you and me must have today as we pray will definitely help us to do some thing for God in the right way.  First of all a man must have a vision about the Lord God who has created us in this world as in John 1:3  “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” When apostle Paul had a vision from God it changed him totally the same way when we pray and get a vision from the Lord that vision will definitely Change our life in a new way and a new blessing will come in our life. 

Apostle Paul was a man of vision.   I feel strongly God is looking for a man of vision in these days.  Let us look what all the visions he had in his life there are seven visions from God in various phase of his life but the important thing I want you to note is that he says before his death that he was not disobedient of the vision he had from the Lord so having a vision is very important that transforms your life but it is also equally important that we must have a strong will power to obey to that vision like apostle Paul so that we can also say towards the end of our life that I was not disobedient of the heavenly vision in my life as in Acts 26:19, “I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,”

"Apostle Paul as the Man of Visions"

      1. The vision of Christ - Acts 9:3-6; 26:13-15
      2. The Missionary Vision - Acts 16:9
      3. The vision of Testimony - Acts 18:9
      4. The vision of Warning - Acts 22:18
      5. The vision of Work in the capital of the world - Acts 23:11
      6. The vision of Encouragement in the storm - Acts 27:23
      7. The vision of Paradise – 2 Co 12:1-4

Obedience to these visions the explanation of his wonderful career - Acts 26:19

King David was a man of vision.  When he saw the vision, through that God motivated him and given him a great deal of good blessings as we see in Psa 89:19 to 20, “Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful people you said: "I have bestowed strength on a warrior; I have exalted a young man from among the people. Have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him.”

Because of the vision he had from the Lord, the call he had from God and the anointing of the Lord, King David got lot of blessings as we see in Psa. 89:21 to 29,”

1.      My hand will sustain him;

2.      Surely my arm will strengthen him.

3.      Psa 89:22 No enemy will subject him to tribute;

4.      No wicked man will oppress him.

5.      Psa 89:23 I will crush his foes before him

6.      And strike down his adversaries.

7.      Psa 89:24 My faithful love will be with him,

8.      And through my name his horn will be exalted.

9.      Psa 89:25  I will set his hand over the sea,

10.  His right hand over the rivers.

11.  Psa 89:26  He will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.'

12.  Psa 89:27  I will also appoint him my firstborn,

13.  The most exalted of the kings of the earth.

14.  Psa 89:28  I will maintain my love to him forever,

15.  And my covenant with him will never fail.

16.  Psa 89:29  I will establish his line forever,

17.  His throne as long as the heavens endure.

So many blessings he had from the lord.  Do you really like to have some blessings from God for this New year 2003.  Then kindly pray with me that the Lord may give you a vision for you in this Year.

1.  A vision about God:

  1. Unless a man has a vision about the Lord God who has created him, he will perish in his own vain thoughts as in Rom 1:28 “Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.”  If you like to escape this depraved mind you have to do one thing very seriously as the bible says in Rom 1:21 & 22, “For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.”  Start giving more thanks to God for all his blessings in your life.  Be a man of gratitude who can remember all the blessings of God. 
  2. The vision about the almighty God helps a man to get a vision about him. Otherwise every one thinks about themselves very highly and they fail to see the real condition of their own lives.  But here we see in the bible, since Isaiah saw the Lord with all his glory in a vision clearly he could understand about his own unworthiness and start confessing it as in Isa 6:5 “So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts." Today many are boosting about themselves and think very highly about themselves as if they are great because they are not yet got a vision about the God whom they are serving and worshiping. 

3.      In the bible we see only when Job saw the Lord he repented truly as in Job 42:5 & 6, "I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.  Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."  So unless we see the vision we will think we are great and we wont think about our own defects so that we can get little more pure and come closer to God further.

4.      When apostle Paul saw the vision as in Acts 9:3 “As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.”  He heard a voice speaking to him as in Acts 9:4 “Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"  Because of this vision what God has given to apostle Paul, he asked God, who He was?  And came to know about the true God and then he asked Him what he wanted him to do?

5.      So apostle Paul later prayed that all may get a vision of the Lord Jesus in their lives as in Eph 1:17 to 21, “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.”

2.  A vision about ourselves:

  1. A vision about God makes it easier for us to understand our sinful nature and helplessness. When the prophet Isaiah saw the heavenly vision he understood his helplessness and sinfulness as in Isa. 6:5 So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts."  Since the bible says all sinned as in Rom 3:10 to 12, “As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.  All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. Also in Rom 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” 

2.      Job could understand the need of a repentance in his life after seeing the Lord as in Job 42:5 & 6, "I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.  Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."

  1. We cannot save ourselves with our own good efforts as in Eph 2:8 & 9, For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

4.      Apostle Paul understood the true Lord through the vision God gave him as in Acts 9:5 to 7, “And he said, "Who are You, Lord?" Then the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.  So he, trembling and astonished, said, Lord, what do you want me to do? Then the Lord said to him, Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.  And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one.

5.      Apostle Paul also had a vision about his healing as in Acts 9:12  "And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight."  God made the Ananias come and pray for Apostle Paul by speaking to him as in Acts 9:15 & 16, “But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.  For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."

6.      After understanding about ourselves we must know more about the heaven, so that we can keep on purify ourselves to meet the Lord Jesus Christ.  The bible says our Lord Jesus will come to take us to heaven like a thief at any time so we must be always ready to meet the Lord as in Mat 24:36 to 44, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.  As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.  For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.  Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.  Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.  Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.  But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.  So you also must be ready all the time, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

3.  A vision about the Heaven:

  1. Every one must have a vision about the heaven in which God is dwelling and preparing a place for his children as in John 14:2 & 3, “In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” 
  2. A heavenly vision has changed the whole attitude of the prophet Isaiah as he saw the magnitude of the Lord seated in the heavens as in Isa. 6:1 to 4, “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.  Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.  And one cried to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!  And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.”
  3. We must have our hearts and mind always on heaven. To transfer our mind on heavenly things we must start storing things in heaven while we are living in this world as in Mat 6:20 & 21, “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
  4. Unless we understand about this fact that what it is to be left out behind by the Lord in His Secret coming we cannot seriously prepare ourselves to meet the Lord.  As the wise virgins were only ready to meet the Lord when He came to take them to heaven and the foolish ones were left behind as in Mat 25:10  "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
  5. I pray that we must have a vision about the horribleness of the Hell that will help us to make use of the time in a better way.

4.  A Vision about Hell:

1.      Every one must know about the Hell. We all must have a vision about it and should think about it as often as possible.  Our Lord Jesus Christ has given lot of teaching about it to make us understand the seriousness of that place as in Mat 5:30 "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” 

2.      We must fear to the one who can put us in hell since it is the most fearful place for us to think about as in Mat 10:28  "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

3.      The teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ on hell helps us to understand the importance of going to heaven even at the expense of losing any part of our body, since hell is very much horrible as in Mat 18:8 & 9, “If your hand or your foot causes you to sin cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.  The same in also explained since going to heaven is very much important to any human being than even if we have to lose any part of our body like hand, foot and eye is in Mark 9:43 to 48, "If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched; where 'Their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'  "And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched; "where 'their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'  "And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire; "where 'Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.'

4.      The story what Jesus told about the rich man and the poor Lazarus helps us to understand about hell more as in Luke 16:20 to 31, "But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.  So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.  And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.  Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.  But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.  And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.  He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.  Abraham replied, 'they have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.   "'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'  He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"

5.      We must have a longing to get resurrected and get transformed in the likeness of God when Jesus our Lord comes to take the Church for this we must have a vision about the resurrected Christ as apostle Paul says in Phil 3:11 “If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.”

5.  A vision about the resurrected Jesus Christ:

1.      Apostle Paul’s life got changed when he saw a vision and understood the Lord Jesus Christ as the Lord as in Acts 9:5 And he said, "Who are You, Lord?" Then the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads." Later apostle devoted himself to the Lord Jesus Christ that he may know more about the power of His resurrection and get that resurrection from the dead in his life as in Phil 3:10 & 11, “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

2.      Only Jesus can save us all. as in Acts 4:12 “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."  That is why Jesus told in John 14:6 “Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

3.      Since there is no other mediator except Jesus Christ as in 1 Tim 2:4 to 6, “who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.  For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,

4.      The church is the body of Christ and Jesus is the head of the church Eph 1:22 & 23, “And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”  Also in Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

5.      A man who has a longing for the resurrection and the one who is truly following the Lord Jesus Christ will definitely must have a vision about the body of Jesus Christ the Church, which he himself loved.

6.  A Vision about the Church:

1.      Jesus Christ Himself brings us in to the church, which is his body as we accept him as our Lord and saviour as in Acts 2:47 “praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.”  So do not give up meeting together as a Church as in Heb 10:25  “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” In the church there are watchman Jesus Kept those who can pray for our souls since no one can take care of his own soul as in Psa 22:29, “All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.”   So, what we have to do in the church? First of all, We have to be very obedient to those who watch over our soul as in Heb 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.  Secondly we must be regular in worshiping the lord with the saints and also advise those who are little careless as in Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

2.      We must pray now in the church that the lost sheep, which is not inside, also must come and Join the Church.  Our Lord Jesus Christ is more concerned about the one lost sheep since he do not want any one to perish as in Mat 18:12 to 14, "What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.  Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.” 

3.      The church must win the perishing souls to make the Heaven happy. The same story is told also in Luke 15:4 to 7, "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?  And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.  And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!  I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.”

4.      By one sinner truly repents from his sinful ways and accepting the Lord there will be great rejoicing in heaven as in Luke 15:8 to 10, "Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?  And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost! Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

5.      I pray that each church must have a burden and a vision for their nation so that the kingdom of God can be strongly built in their own country.

7.  A vision about our Nation:

1.      We must have real burden for our nation and spend enough time in prayer before God for it in our life as the bible says in Ezek 22:30  "So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.”  Abraham, Moses, Samuel, David and Daniel had the experience of praying alone for the nation. 

2.      What for all we must pray to God?  

·        1 Tim 2:1 to 3, “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of   thanks be made for all men we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence, for kings and all who are in authority, that.  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.”

3.      If we need to lead a quiet and peaceable life in this earth in our own life we have to pray to God for the existing leaders who are in power over our country and state.  Because the bible tells us all leadership and power comes from the Lord and the Lord can change any situation since He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

4.      We must have a vision from God to plan and reach our own nation in our time with the gospel message since we are responsible for them.  If we fail to warn the people of their wickedness God can ask their blood in our hands.

5.      I pray that every church must have a global vision for all the nations of this world that God may help us to reach out the whole world.  Since our lord Jesus Christ has died for the whole world.

8.  A vision about our world:

1.      We must have a vision to reach this present world with the Gospel message since the Lord Jesus Christ has given as a command us as in Mat 28: 18 to 20, "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. 

2.      We have to make efforts to reach the world as in Mark 16:15 “And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”  And the same is in Luke 24:47 to 49, "and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.  And you are witnesses of these things.  Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” 

3.      To help us to witness the whole world God has given us the Holy Spirit as in Acts 1:8  "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

4.      Jesus will be satisfied only when the whole world is reached with the Gospel message as in Isa 53:11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities.

5.      God wants us to commit to the vision what he has given us in our lives. We must have a clear understanding about our life.  We must know what talents and gifts God has given us. We must know how to use all our resources for the glory of the Lord since God will ask us to give account to all he has given unto us.   Nothing is ours because every good things are coming from God as in James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.  So with a vision pray to God to make you a good Steward who can give account to God answer for all the materialistic blessings and on this earth.  If we are lazy and bury all our talents and resources without using it for the glory of God let us pray now since we have to give accounts to God soon.

9.  Commitment to the Vision we had after Hearing the voice of the Lord:

  1. When we commit ourselves seriously to the vision we got from the lord then only we are really getting ready to meet the Lord Jesus Christ.  Otherwise we are not very serious about going to be with the Lord to his Kingdom the heaven.
  2. God wants us to understand the heart cry of the Lord and respond to his voice voluntarily on our own without any compulsion as in Isa 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."  The prophet readily accepted the call of God, so the Lord said to him in Isa 6:9 And He said, "Go, and tell this people: 'Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.'

3.      Only those who commit themselves in spite of different difficulties in this world can say like Apostle Paul said in “I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,” that means he committed himself to the vision what he received from the Lord.  Let us think about the life of apostle Paul.  How many hardships he underwent in his life?  He says he suffered more than all other apostles.  But the encouraging thing in his life is this, he did not loose the vision nor disobedient to it.  So, he could finish every purposes of God in his life to say as in 2 Tim 4:7 & 8, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

4.      Do we have any commitment made for the glory of the Lord in our personal life so far?  If we not yet made any real commitment to do some thing for the Lord, for His body the Church on this earth and the new mission fields to reach some more new souls to bring the Kingdom of God on this earth.  Let this New Year be a year in which we make some commitment for the Lord.  Let not one more year simply vanish without doing anything for the Lord our master who has suffered and died for us on Cross. 

5.      Let us start praying in this New Year to God that we may be the real salt of this earth and the light of this world in the true sense of the word.  Otherwise the time will come as in Mat 5:13 to 16, "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.  "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.  "Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.  "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. 

May the Lord help each one of us to get a vision in this New Year about our almighty God first, secondly, let us understand who we are and the purpose of God in our lives by having a real vision about the resurrected Saviour, the heaven, the hell, the Church the body of Christ, our nation, and the whole world very clearly. Thirdly, Let us commit ourselves wholeheartedly to that heavenly vision what God has given unto us so that we can also say like apostle Paul in the Last day that I am not disobedient to the heavenly vision as apostle Paul said before King Agrippa as in Acts 26:19  "… I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,”

May the Lord help each one of us to have both these blessings in this New Year 2003
