CHAPTER 11

THE VISION BECOMES REALITY;
God uses ordinary people to fulfill His will. When Jesus performed His first miracle of turning
water into wine, He asked ordinary men to fill ordinary water pots. When He multiplied bread
and fish He gave it to ordinary men who then fed the multitude. When Jesus was about to
perform what was perhaps the greatest miracle in His ministry, that of raising Lazarus from the
dead, He depended on men to move the stone from the entrance of the grave. Didn’t the same
God who raised Lazarus have the power to remove the stone from the entrance?
Yes, but God has always used men to fulfill His plan. His methods are men. God calls ordinary
men and makes them extraordinary. He moves men and women from spectators to participators
in His plan.
-All you ordinary people who thought you couldn’t be used of God…
-You ordinary people who thought you couldn’t be part of a miracle…
-All who have denied and failed Him.
God is not looking at your past or present performance. He is not seeing you as you view
yourself. He is looking at you as you will become as you accept the challenge to go to the harvest
fields of the world. He is seeing you as you will be when endued with the power of the Holy
Spirit.
God is not depending on your faith, education, talents, or your level of spirituality. He is not
depending on anything that you are. He is depending on what He knows you can become if you
will surrender your life totally to His will and purposes.
The world of the early church was not reached through great preaching. It was reached by men
and women who were as human as we are but they turned their eyes from their own failures and
caught the vision of the harvest. They realized that when they were weak in the natural, they were
strong spiritually.
