The last couple of days, we have talked about great vision and the leaders that implement it. Today I want to address another aspect of great vision with this statement: Great vision takes great faith!

Does your faith match the greatness of the vision?

Something that is “great” is unusually or comparatively large in size or dimension, as the dictionary defines it. We serve a great God who gives us great vision. Now we need to be people of great faith.

Here are five facts about great faith.

Faith is like the hand that reaches up to receive what God has freely promised. The promise is there, ready to be plucked like ripe fruit. Your promises for healing, for breakthrough, for salvation for a loved one are waiting for you to reach out and grab. Faith exercises the muscles to reach up a hand and take the promise.

Faith is not about the present. Rather, it is about things in the future promised by God. It takes faith to see the future and believe that something truly incredible and unprecedented can happen. Great faith also sees the promised blessings and provision for the vision as if they were preset possessions.

Faith is the ability of the human spirit to open up and receive impressions from God that are born from His word and made alive by the Holy Spirit. This happens when you spend time reading the Word and patiently waiting for the Spirit to make those words meaningful to your situation. It also results in a supernatural conviction of certain facts that you could not otherwise derive from the senses.

Great faith believes our God to be a good God, a God of abundance. People of great faith believe God is all powerful at all times and in every circumstance. Knowing He is able to do anything, they trust Him to help them fulfill the vision as they do their part.

Great faith believes God desires to bless His people with great provisions, financially and spiritually. Blessings do not apply only to financial provision, but also spiritual benefits. God will give you supernatural strength, grace, and virtue to life a fruitful life as you have faith to ask for it!

A people of great faith will take ownership of the great vision that God has placed on you the leader’s heart. Are you a person of great faith?
