But when it pleased God, who separated me

from my mothers womb and called me

through His grace, to reveal His Son in me,

that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I

did not immediately confer with flesh and

blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those

who were apostles before me; but I went toArabia, and returned again to Damascus.

Ga.1:15-17

The ultimate test of your vision is how does it

fit into the BIG picture.

Your vision is bigger than you and requires

others to help get it done or it is not a God

given vision

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem

to see Peter Ga.1:18

Your sphere of influence is your call for integration.

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you towalk worthy of the calling with which you were called,with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering,bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keepthe unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There isone body and one Spirit, just as you were called in onehope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

one God and Father of all, who is above all, andthrough all, and in you all. Ep. 4:1-4

Note these terms that relate to YOUR calling

BUT are RELATIONAL as it is worked out in the

sphere of the Body.

Endeavoring: determined effort

The love, longsuffering, and unity that we

must have is displayed not when we all agree

but when we dont. It is when we dont

understand completelythat is the test of

unity.

There is a cost to fulfillment of dreams and

visions.

Those who work their land will have

abundant food, but those who chase

fantasies will have their fill of poverty.
