How To Write Your Personal Vision Statement by Myles Munroe
Personal vision
We are full of ideas all day because it is God constantly truly to get to us
God is a professional idea transmitter. He transmits ideas to the human minds and that’s what we keep ignoring
Ideas are always bigger than what you are doing even now
Ideas are God-sent seeds
If God gives you an idea and you don’t do it, it goes away and God will give it to someone else and then you will become jealous because you wish you did it.
How to execute the plan God has for you is through confidence.
Confidence is the key to boldness. When you receive a plan from God, you have to be confident to proceed with it.
Confidence makes us stand up against resistance. It makes us fight for something that we believe in. With confidence, it is difficult for someone to stop you
Philippians 1:6 KJV
There is a difference between a good idea and a God idea
Good ideas come and go
God idea persist
You can adopt a good idea, but you can’t adopt a God’s idea. A God’s idea is yours.
No one can give you the God idea you are born to fulfill.
God’s ideas May come in multiples, it may be more than one. They are given for various seasons in your life
God’s ideas keep coming back, they never stop no matter how many times you keep forgetting them, they still flow back into your mind. It’s related to your future and your destiny
The key to capturing a God idea?
2 Corinthians 10:5-7 KJV
God’s ideas are ideas that are always in agreement with his own word
God will not give you an idea that is contrary to the Bible. Impossible.
Every human was born to fulfill a God’s idea
In order to capture God’s idea, you have to answer 5 questions. The 5 questions that are the key to life:
- Who am I? Your Identity. Your identity gives you the courage to write down your life plan. The plan for your life is directly tied to discovering who you are
- Where am I from? Where is my heritage? Where is my source as a human being? Not your ethnic or cultural heritage but knowing where you are from as a created being. John 4:24 KJV
- Why am I here? Sense of purpose. The key to your life plan. Philippians 4:13 KJV. Why was I born? Why did I come into the world? Why was I created? Why am I in existence?
- What can I do? Potential. The potential is Hidden strength, untapped power, and unreleased energy. What am I capable of? God’s what is always tied to his why’s and his why’s are always tied to his what’s.
- Where am I going? Destiny. Your destiny are in 2 clear destiny: earth and after death. This must be answered by everybody or your life will become a floating experience
If you can’t answer these questions, life is just become a confusing experience.
These questions produce confidence.
Even good things can be detrimental if you don’t know the right things for you to do
The eagle shows us how to capture a plan and not become lost
The Holy Spirit is the eagle of God Isaiah 40:31 KJV.
Sometimes God will get you under pressure to get you moving
Uncomfortable situations sometimes is God reaping off the carpet
Why does it mean the trill of sowing has to begin with the fear of falling? That seems to be the equation of life. You never do anything great until or unless you step out in faith.
People who are afraid to fail will never succeed. If you want to be successful in life you must be willing to fail.
if you work failure in your plan, how can you lose?
Include failure in your plan, See failure as a part of the process for success. If you see it as part of the process, then it can not stop you. You use it for your own Benefit.
Great successful people are people who are not afraid to fail.
The greatest act of love of the eagle is the Push.
God wants us to be unique and not become other people
Writing your life plan on paper is frightening. You have to achieve it since it is written.
Proverbs 15:22 KJV
- We need to have plans
- We need to get good counsel (advisers)
If you don’t get counsel for your plan, the plan will fail.
A Plan is tied to your success.
What do you want in life?
Money is poor God to worship, it can’t cure cancer. It can’t give you peace it can’t give you fulfillment.
Genesis 15:1 KJV
If you can’t see your life, then you are not hearing God
When God speaks to a human about his life, it shows up in pictures. We call it ideas, imaginations, or visions.
The seeds of God are always greater than your present state
The vision of God is always drawing you away from where you are to where you ought to be
Genesis 46:2-4 KJV
The visions of God are always manifested as a real thing. They are actually real they are taking place and you are on your way to them.
When visions of God come to you?
They are called inspirations
When you think it, it dies, when you speak it, it lives.
Inspiration – to move forward with purpose and enthusiasm.
Purpose is a clarity of intent. They know what they want to do
Enthusiasm – To be in God or God in you
Inspiration – to inbreed by God. When God breeds into you.
Plans won’t come to pass without inspiration
Inspiration is awakened by a revelation of your purpose
External experiences don’t affect you but you are motivated by an internal revelation from God
Clarity of intention propelled by a spirit within that is the most powerful combination the human spirit could experience
A clear vision disciplines your dreams.
A clear vision disciplines your desires. Your vision controls your desires. Which then creates self-control.
Without vision, there is no regulation for your desires.
Vision prevents Perishing and destruction.
Part 2
Your vision should be clear and simple
- Go somewhere quiet so you can hear what God has been saying all these years
In order to hear your inside you have to do away with the distraction of the outside
The reason you can’t see is because you are looking too much, your heart can not see because your eyes have too many distractions.
Your vision is not outside of you it is inside of you.
Your future is not ahead of you, it is trapped in the inside.
Meditation is the most important aspect of prayer
Prayer is you talking, meditation is your listening.
- Write all your desires on paper.
Your vision is the thought process that won’t leave you
Your vision is the dream that keeps coming back
Your vision is the desire for you to do something that keeps coming back.
Whatever makes you angry, you were born to solve. Start writing them down.
Write down the solutions to what makes you angry.
Proverbs 12:5 KJV
As the vision becomes simplified, it begins to grow.
Proverbs 19:21 KJV, 2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV
Your vision has to align with the Word of God.
- Capture the thought
- Simplify the thought
- document the thought
- Communicate it in full sentences (Make a plan based on that sentence. Strategies)
- Revise your vision (Do not be afraid to give God something to adjust)
- Evaluate your vision (keep judging yourself)
- Your greatest enemy is a distraction
- Your greatest distraction is not bad things but good things
- Visions come in phases. It is fulfilled in phases.
Write your whole life purpose in one sentence, it might take a long time to do but it is possible to do. You want to reduce your life to one sentence.
The greatest enemy of right is not wrong it is good
You must not accept every opportunities that comes along even if they are good
Don’t let people come into your life and change your vision
Learn from others but never become them
The greatest thing in the world is discovering yourself.
The greatest enemy right now is your last success.
