Visionary Faith

We always pray for you to be counted worthy of the calling of our God, and that by His power you will accomplish any passionate resolve to do good, and any work of faith, so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 1:11-12).

Understanding, believing, and applying these words can change your life. They are some of the most encouraging and challenging words in Scripture. Encouraging because they speak of our great God-given purpose. Challenging because pursuing God’s purposes has always cost a lot.

Essentially, the Apostle is encouraging God’s people to envision and pursue what they wanted to do for him. “Any passionate resolve.” “Any work of faith.” And the possibilities are tremendous because we can pray for and expect “His power” and “the grace of our God” as we pursue the glory of God.

This is a divine invitation to:
Live up to our high calling as sons and daughters of God.
Pursue our deepest desires in how we want to serve God.
Takes some risks with our life and experience God.
Make the most of our life by giving our life in service to God.
Accomplish any work of faith for the glory of God.

Who we are and what we have are God’s gift to us. Who we become and what we do are our gifts to God. May this book educate, encourage, and equip you to make your gifts to God the very best they can be.
