CHAZOWN
EVERYONE ENDS UP SOMEWHERE.
FEW PEOPLE END UP SOMEWHERE ON PURPOSE.
Where there is no vision, the people perish… Proverbs 29:18 KJV vision: chazown: (khaw-zone’) a dream, revelation, or vision.
IF MONEY WERE NO OBJECT TO YOU, WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
FOUR PHASES OF CHAZOWN
And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. 24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. Acts 20:22-24
1) SPIRIT’S PROMPTING.
And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem…Acts 20:22a
compelled: deo—compelled, bound, wrapped up with cords.
Spirit: pneuma—Spirit, current of air, breeze of the Spirit.
2) CERTAIN UNCERTAINTY.
I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. Acts 20:22b
I will do today what I can do to enable me to do tomorrow what I can’t do today.
3) PREDICTABLE RESISTANCE.
I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. Acts 20:23
4) UNCOMMON CLARITY.
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus Christ has given me– the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace. Acts 20:24
So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?" Nehemiah 6:3 NKJV
“Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too well pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we have dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.”
Sir Francis Drake
TALK IT OVER
If money were no object, what would you do for the rest of your life?
What small steps can you take now that will lead you closer to your Chazown?
There will always be opposition. Talk about ways you can stay focused.
Take time to talk through how God is leading you to discover or develop your Chazown.
