Over this past week, the Lord has revealed several visions to me. I had a vision about turning a 12 acre site into a retreat center, another vision about creating the ideal work environment for a school campus and a reminder of an old vision about establishing a cutting edge Christian radio station. I am not sure what God wants me to do with these visions, but I need to begin to take small steps to see where the Holy Spirit may lead me in the future.
In the movie Facing the Giants, there is a scene early on where the football coach thinks he is going to be fired. However, the very next day he has an encounter with an older gentlemen who had been praying for each student by placing his hand on their lockers. Anyway, this man walks into the coach’s office with a message directly from God. Thinking his wife put him up to it, he follows this man into the hallway, where he tells a parable. The point of the parable was to examine whether or not you are going to trust God to send rain for the spiritual seeds you are sowing. I guess I find myself in an identical situation, but this is real life not a movie.
WMHR are call letters for Must Hear Radio, a name the Lord gave to me back in the early 90’s. If the secular music industry is a billion dollar a year business, why can’t Christians use a similar model to succeed without the politics which exist in the Christian music industry. I wrote a business plan nearly 20 years ago, yet I never had the funding or backing with people who shared the same vision. As for now its just a dream, pictures in my mind of what could be reality, but I didn’t win Wednesday night’s Powerball. Anyway, God is good and in the end, He is Jehovah-Jireh, providing a ram for Abraham and a full time job soon for me.
