I have described the natural birth process and applied it to the birth of a spiritual vision.
The area I have written about previously were conception, development,
travail, and the time of transition. The
final stage in the process is the actual birth.
The
development of a spiritual vision has an expected end, just as in the
development of a human embryo. That anticipated
end is birth. Your vision becomes reality.
a. Premature birth and delayed birth can result in death, both
in the natural birth process and in the birth of spiritual vision.
b. Do not move ahead of God and do not lag
behind.
c. Keep right in step with Him during the birth of your vision and you
will be well on your way to your divine destiny.
After birth in the natural world, a child needs constant
care as it continues to grow and develop. After birth of a spiritual vision,
that vision will continue to develop, but like a child you must protect and
nourish it. Your vision will develop different
features and form, but every feature develops from that basic cell of spiritual
life which is the vision.
So the birth of a vision:
1. Occurs during times of intimacy with God.
2. Requires time and patience.
3. Understands difficulties arise as you near it.
4. Transition is the most difficult time right before your vision is birthed.
5. Accepts when the vision becomes a reality.
Birth requires change.
In the natural world, the child must leave the security of the womb.
When you were born-again you had to leave the old life of sin. You had to let Jesus change your thought and
action patterns.
Are you ready to receive spiritual vision? Are you willing to experience spiritual
travail in order to birth something new
in your life? If you are not
willing, you had better read a different devotional guide. Once you glimpse the
vision of your divine destiny shared in these pages, your life will never again
be the same.
To give birth to spiritual vision also requires change. It
requires courage to step from the known into the unknown.
