Serving God Through Helping Others

Isaiah 61:1 . . . He hath sent me {us} to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.

Faith sees the end result. That’s fire . . . that’s Vision! Vision born in prayer sees reality. Our physical eyes deceive us. We walk not by natural sight, but by spiritual sight. Vision is based upon the Word of God. Facts are subject to change; God’s Word is not. Vision is our inner instrument for flying through cloudy skies.

Vision is a statement of what we want our organization to be . . . Jesus said, "I’ll make you fishers of men." Vision is a single driving value for the organization. It tells the team in which direction the organization is going and what it plans to accomplish. Jesus sent His team out with a Vision.

Vision creates a clear tomorrow. People need a clear, simple-to-understand "promised land." Israel followed the clearly visible cloud during the day and the fire at night. Vision translates strategies into a way of life. The wilderness changes losers into winners.

Vision becomes the road map necessary for any trip. How often have you ever started a vacation to an area unfamiliar to you without a road map? Have you ever been driving on a big city freeway without knowing where your exit was? A trip without knowing where our destination is, or how to get there, is a trip in helplessness and uselessness.

An inspired Vision and the commitment to it in any organization are the differences between success and failure, even life and death of the organization. The wise man wrote, "Where there is no vision, the people perish . . . " Proverbs 29:18; KJV.

The Vision starts in the heart, no, the guts of the leader. It is placed there by the events and environment that have made us who we are. The Vision grows within us for a period—in some cases years before it explodes through our compelled actions. It grows into goals and objectives.

The FLAME Vision is Serving God Through Helping Others, and is supported and impacted by . . .

Isaiah 61:1 . . . He hath sent me {us} to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.

Thus we will spread the "good news" throughout the world. It is our Vision to rescue those that are in danger of perishing spiritually, physically, emotionally or mentally.

Having a Vision isn't enough, though. Framing it and hanging it on the wall isn't enough. We have to empower our people to use our Vision. An empowering Vision meets the following three criteria: a focus on our strategic advantages, the inspiration to deliver those advantages consistently, and clarity to be used as a decision-making criterion.
