It's Friday night, and your boy is back here on Dimensions, and you have tuned in for such a time as this. You know, we only got less now than a week left of fasting. And that's the reason why we're coming at you the way that we are, so then you can get the most out of this time. I want to talk to you a little bit about vision uh tonight. I want to talk to you about the importance of starting to map out your vision, how important that is. Uh you've fasted, you've prayed, you've sought the Lord now. You've got to draw from what he's placed within you. And I know he's put some things inside me. It looks like he's put some things inside of me. And so we've got to get ready now to develop the tactical plan of how we are going to bring down the forces of darkness and engage the enemy and walk in the fullness of what God has for us. So you're not going to want to miss this because it's going to get good. And I'm going to show you some good key points on how to map out your vision for 2026. Stay tuned because Dimensions starts now. But throughout the 23rd, from now till January 23rd, we are going to be bringing it to you each and every night. I'll be back here tomorrow night, 8 p.m., Sunday at 8 p.m. as well, and then Monday through Friday next week. And then the following week after that, we're going to be going back to our regular resume broadcast time. So I am so glad that you have tuned in today. And I am so excited that you are with us.

Hello there, Heartfelt Love and Julie Miller, thank you for joining with us tonight. I'm so glad that you guys are on with us. We're so thankful for all of you. Thank you for all that y'all are doing. And the rest of you that you're getting on, let us know that you are in the house. We're going to be talking about in just a minute here. I'm going to be getting into vision and about the importance of writing down your vision and appropriating your vision in this season. Because now that we've been fasting and praying, you want to take the time now to begin to implement what God's been dropping in your spirit. And you want to develop a tactical plan of how you're going to engage the enemy, bring down the force of darkness and see the fullness of all that God has for you. You know, you can't sit back, fast, and pray and not truly do what it is that God's called you to do. You've got to launch out, you've got to go in faith, you've got to be willing to do the things that you need to do. You've got to give God something to work with. You know, a lot of times people get a lot of inspiration and they get ideas and creativity and then they just let it sit on the shelf. You can't do that in 2026. Remember this prophecy is not fortune telling. Prophecy is not, well, I got a prophetic word, so now I just sit back. It's kind of like hopefully somebody will give me a fortune. Someone will tell my fortune and tell my future. And as a result of that, I'll sit back and wait on God to uh make something happen. Well, the purpose behind, now remember this: the purpose behind all spiritual vision, the purpose behind all prophetic insight is so then you can then take it and begin to develop. Come on, somebody, the strategic plan to develop the tactical plan to be able to do what is that needs to be done. And then this is the thing. After you develop your plan, you gotta stick to the plan. You've got to be willing to stick to it and do what it is that God's called you to do. So go here to Habakkuk chapter two. I touched on this a little bit before, but I want to go into it again. I want to give you some steps here that you can take. All right, some things that'll help you as you're beginning. Because I believe that if you as you're fasting and praying, God will begin to download things into your spirit. And you've got to begin to work some of the ideas that God's given you. Sometimes you've got to work the problems that are in front of you as well. But this is what it says here in Habakkuk chapter two and verse number one. The Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and make it plain on tablets that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it will speak and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it, because it will surely come. It will not tarry. So the first thing you want to do is you begin to write the vision. That's number one. Number one, you want to write the vision. Write the vision that God gave you, that He put in your heart, the idea he gave you. You've got to write it down. So very, very important. Write that down. Number one, write the vision. So I want you to write that in right now, right. If you got a tablet, wherever you are, write that down. The first step in seeing your vision come to reality is number one, write it down. Something happens when you write things down on paper in your life. So you want to begin to write the vision. All right. That's the first thing you want to do. Number two, you want to prepare a plan. Prepare a plan. So what does that mean? Now, see, now watch this. Whenever God gives you vision, inside of the vision, vision is like seed. Inside of the seed, there's fruit. But you've got to work the seed in order to see the fruit. So what'll happen when you get the vision? There's life inside of the vision. So now that you've got the vision, now remember this everything you need is inside of the vision. The the uh the protection from the enemy, it's in the vision. You've got to realize that everything, your provision, it's in the vision. You've got to realize the the uh uh uh the ideas that will come forth out of it, how to materialize it, it's all in the vision. Everything is in the vision, but it's up to you. Now watch this. God gives you the vision, he gives you the seed. The Bible says he gives seed to the sower. Well, he gives vision to his people and expects us to work the vision. So whatever you're believing God to do, once you know, all right, this is what I want to see, this is what I feel inspired to do, then you've got to write down the vision. You've got to prepare and make a plan for what it is that you need to do. So you got to prepare a plan. Write that down. Prepare a plan. What does that mean? You want to get out of debt. What's your plan? You ever heard the statement? If you don't uh uh uh prepare to plan, you plan to fail. You know, and so it's important that you develop a full all-out plan. How are you going to get it? Vision, you are at A. Vision shows you Z. What you have to do in preparing a plan, you've got to prepare B through Y. And that is where that is your responsibility. Now remember this. This is very important. I want you to catch this. God will never prepare the plan for you. It will never happen. God will never prepare the plan for you. That is something that He requires us to do. Now, watch this. I want you to see this here. I want you to go with me to Genesis chapter number two. Genesis chapter number two. And I want you to see this because this is important. I think this is so powerful. And look here in verse number uh number 16. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die. And the Lord God said, It is not good that man should be alone. I will make a helper comparable to him. Look at this. Out of the ground, the Lord God formed every beast of the field, every bird of the air, brought them to Adam to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not a found a helper comparable to him. Now look at this. God didn't ask Adam to create the vision, but he did ask him to take care of it. God didn't ask Adam to create uh the garden, but he asked him to tend it. God did not ask you to create vision. The vision comes from the Father. But then after that, you've got to walk out the plan and develop it. So prepare a plan. How are you going to get it? The ideas are already in you. If you got to study, if you got to do some research, whatever it is that you need to do, do what you need to do so then you can develop the plan. You might want to start reading books on those things. You might want to start watching videos. There's YouTube videos on what it is. Maybe God wants you to study your Bible more. Maybe you're going to invest into some Bible software programs. Maybe you're going to buy some materials. I don't know. But wherever you have a vision that you want to see fulfilled, it's up to you to develop the plan. So you've got to put yourself in position to prepare the plan for your life. So you can see the vision materialize in your life. Okay. So that's the thing. Prepare the plan. It's very, very important that you prepare a plan. Write the vision and begin to prepare a plan. Now here you go. Here's number three. Y'all ready for this? You got to work the plan. That's very, very important. You've got to begin to work the plan in your life. The Bible says God will prosper the work of your hands. So watch this. God gives you the vision, you begin to develop a plan, and then you've got to work the plan. You begin to work the plan that God has put inside your heart and life and what you've decided to do. You begin to put those things together and watch what God will begin to do. You've got to work the plan. You've got to begin to do what it is that God has called you to do. It's very, very important that you work the plan that God has given you and God will bless you in a supernatural way. Amen. So what's number one? Write the vision. Number two, prepare a plan. Number three, work the plan. Y'all ready for number four? Number four, here it is. Expect opposition. Expect opposition. What do I mean by that? There's going to be things that are going to come into your life that you're not going to, that's going to try to destroy your momentum. You're going to say if it's God's vision and God's plan, which I'm sure it is, that He's put in your heart, the devil's not going to sit back and not do anything. Expect distractions. You've got to expect that. You've got to expect that. That's part of the opposition. Distractions are going to come. You've got to expect that there's going to be hardships, there's going to be difficulties, but you've got to learn to draw from the anointing that God has placed within you in order to defeat the opposition. And that's why it's so important. You've got to expect it. You can't expect everything to be perfect. You can't expect not to have any issues. You can't expect to not have ever had any hardships or have to climb any mountains, have to go through any valleys. You got to expect that. You've got to expect that in your world. Expect opposition. Come on, ladies and gentlemen. Expect opposition in your life. Very, very important. And then therefore, now, once you have opposition, now watch this. You've got to stick to the plan. Come on. Stick to the plan. Very important. You've got to stick to it. Now look at this. Go to James chapter number one. Actually, before you go there, actually, let's go here to Joshua chapter number one. Joshua chapter number one. I want to show you this here. Let's look here in verse number five. I want to give you a little bit of a Bible study today because I want you to catch it. This is how you can develop a plan for the vision God's giving you in 2026. This is how you're going to be able to see it come to reality. Because what's coming to a lot of people, they're going to get an idea, they're going to get this revelation, and they're not going to do anything with it. Or they're going to start the plan and then they're going to quit the plan. They're not going to follow through with it. They're not going to continue to keep going forward with it. They're not going to do anything. And then as a result, they're going to have major issues in their life. So go to Joshua chapter number one, verse number five. Verse number five. It says, No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of a good courage, for to this people you shall divide in inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Look at this. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses, my servant, commanded you. Look here. Do not turn from it, from the right hand or to the left, that you may what? Prosper wherever you go. Don't turn from it from the right hand or to the left. You gotta stick to the plan. Something happens when you stick to the plan. So go to Psalm, the book of Psalms, the first Psalm, Psalm 1. Look at this here. Bless this man who walks not in the council of the godly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord. And in his law he meditates day and night. Look about being steadfast, stays with what the law is, stays with what is. And what happens? You'll be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season. You've got to be planted. You want to meditate on it, stick to the plan, stay with it, keep walking it out. And what will happen? You will get roots and you'll begin to produce fruit in your season. James chapter number one. Let's go there. It's funny. Joshua 1, the first psalm, and uh James 1 all deal with being steadfast. It's one of the first things. You've got to stick to the plan. Very, very important. If you don't stick to the plan, you're not gonna see what it is that God wants to do in your life. There's something that happens when people stick to what God gives them to do. Look at James chapter 1, verse number 21. Therefore, lay aside all filthiness, overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implant of word which is able to save your soul. But be doers of the word, not hearers only, be doers of the vision, not just hearers of the vision, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word, you can put vision in there and not a doer. He's like a man observing his natural face in a mirror, for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But look at this where I want to show you, verse 25. This is a great scripture. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and what continues in it. Wow. Continues in it and is not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work. This one will be blessed in what he does. Now look at this here. Whoever looks into the perfect law of vision and continues in the vision and is not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the vision, this one will be blessed in what they do. Wow. So it's important you understand you've got to stick to the plan. You've got to see it all the way through, stick to the plan, and watch what God will begin to do in your life. It's powerful. And then let's go back and go. Number one, write the vision, two, prepare a plan. Three, work the plan, four, expect opposition. Five, stick to the plan. Six, experience the fruit of the plan. Experience the fruit of the plan. Six steps for 2026 and seeing your vision fulfilled. This is what you got to do. You got you've got to make sure that you stick to it. And if you do, you are going to see the fruit of the plan. You're going to experience the fruit of it. You're going to begin to see your debt get canceled. You're going to see that weight loss that you want to see happen. You're going to see your marriage restored. You're going to see your family blessed. You're going to see all of those things. You're going to experience. Come on, somebody type that in the chat for me. Experience the fruit of the plan. Type it in the chat, somebody. Come on. I need an amen right there. Because that's what you're going to get in 2026. You are going to see the fruit of the plan in your life. Where do you want to see fruit? Maybe you believe in God for a new home. Maybe you believe in God for a new car. Maybe you believe in God to go back to school. Maybe you're believing God to increase your anointing. Maybe you believe in God to do more in ministry this year. Maybe you want to give more to uh the things of God. Maybe you want to be a person that develops a greater savings account. Maybe you want to put away a retirement fund. I don't know what your vision is, what God's put into your heart. I'm saying if you will write down the vision and then you will begin to plan for it, come on, somebody. If you will work the plan, expect opposition, stick to the plan, you experience the fruit of the plan. You'll see it. You will see the fruit in 2027. You'll come back to this broadcast here. We're in the middle of 21 days of fasting, and you'll say, I saw this, I saw this, and God's doing this, I see the increase, and I see the fruit of the plan in my life. God wants you to be fruitful. God wants you to be productive. Don't sit on the vision and get these ideas and then lay back and then not do anything with it. Or start the plan. You plan it all out. You get ready. Like, you know, think about it. They used to have a thing back where I'm from and only in New York at the YMCA, and they used to call it mission meltdown. And right around the beginning of the year, they had these snowmen and they would say, okay, basically the reason why they call it meltdown, by the time you get to spring or summer, you're going to melt down, just like uh, you know, a snowman would because the summer is heating up and the weather gets warmer, the snow will melt. And I called it mission meltdown for another reason, y'all. I called it mission meltdown because it would start off with about 100 people. And by the time people were done, I don't know if these are exact numbers, but you'll get my point, there'd be about 50. Mission meltdown because people we begin to dwindle because it sounds like a good idea in the beginning of the year. But then when the rubber hits the road and you hit February and it's dark and it's cold and it's difficult, and you don't feel like the same new year, new me principle operating in you, and all these things, that's the time that people begin to fall away and they go back to how they used to live. That's why I put in there you've got to stick to the plan if you want to experience the fruit of the plan in your life. But those that continue, those that keep On working, those that keep on pressing, they will see the abundant life. They will see the fruit of the plan. They're going to see it in their lives. They are going to witness it and they're going to walk in the abundant life in their life like never before. So I want to encourage you today that you'll begin to do those things. Have you written up a plan yet for 2026? Have you developed? Let me go back to number one. Have you written your vision for 2026? What's God been speaking to you? What's God been showing you? What are the things that God's been putting into your heart? What are the things that God's been putting into your spirit? What are the things that He's been showing you during this fast? What are the things that He's going to show you? And He's going to show you even after the fast. This is something that's not just for 2026, like for the beginning of the year. Anything that God puts in your spirit, you want to write down a vision and then exhaust that. And then you want to look at that vision. You want to begin to prepare a plan for it. So you want to begin to prepare that plan. You want to begin to operate in that plan that God has for your life. You want to begin to write it down and experience that by the vision by preparing a plan. And then after you prepare that plan, oh man, you got to realize it's time to work the plan. And then after that, when you start working, you're going to experience some opposition. Just look at Nehemiah when he was rebuilding the wall. When he was rebuilding the wall, Sambalat and Tobias, they came by and they were bringing all sorts of issues to him. But what did he say? I can't come down off the wall. Even when they started threatening him to uh bring all sorts of violence, so they said, put a tool in one hand to work on the wall and put a weapon in the other. They did whatever they needed to do, but he didn't come down off the wall. I want to encourage you today. In 2026, this is your year to write down a plan, write down a vision, develop a plan, and then stick to that plan and not come off of the wall. If you're listening right now and you're saying, Pastor Jay, I'm not coming off the wall, I want you to type that in the chat. That in 2026, I'm not coming off the wall. I'm going to stay with the plan that God has put in my spirit. And God is going to bless you and He's going to increase you, and you're going to experience the fruit of the plan. Come on, somebody. God is going to bless you to experience the fruit of the plan in your life in 2026. If you will stay with it, if you will work what God has put inside of you, you are going to see the abundant life in your life. You are going to see the fruit of the plan in your life and just declare that. Say, you know, I'm not going to come off the wall this year. I'm not going to be the mission meltdown person that starts the plan but then does it never sees the fruit of it and then quits along the way. Maybe you want to change your diet. Maybe you want to see some things in your home that you've never seen before. Maybe you want to see some things in your children. Write it up and then develop a plan of how you're going to be able to operate in that. Begin to study on those areas too. Begin to look at that. You know, what is it that you're going to do? You know, um, get some education on those things. Begin to put those things in in your spirit. Uh, begin to study on those things, begin to look up the word, you know, and then look, look at practical things. If you're looking to uh develop a budget, well, you know, you don't read the Bible for that. You know, I mean, not that you can't read the Bible on things, but you know, get some practical ideas that you can mix with the Bible, the people that have done it, that'll help you be able to do that. There's apps out there, there's all sorts of things you could do differently in order to see your vision fulfilled in 2026. So I want to encourage you again, write the vision, prepare a plan. Number three, work the plan. Number four, expect opposition. Number five, when opposition comes, stick to the plan. And then number six, I want to encourage you today to that you will see and experience the fruit of the plan in your life. And I believe that you will see that. There's six steps to see your vision fulfilled in 2026. Six steps to see your vision fulfilled in 2026. It's very, very important, very practical. Now I could put some other things in there. I want to give you some practical things. You know, I could put things in there about prayer and all that, and all that is important. I'm not saying not to pray about it or things like that, but I wanted to give you some practical things. We're good at prayer. Like we'll pray about what we want. But we'll, if we don't pray about nothing else, we're gonna pray about what we want God to do for us. You know, we we will get in the prophetic words, we will uh have all sorts of uh revelation and things like that that God will drop in our hearts and ideas and things on that line, but it's it's it's the rest of the stuff. It's the preparation of the plan. That's huge. It's working the plan. That's right. That's a lot, a lot of reasons why people don't see it too, is that it takes work. I think a lot of times we think because we're spirit-filled and because we have um certain, you know, because we've got the presence of God in our lives that not everything's gonna come without a fight. And if it if it's difficult or it's hard, it must not be God because we should just feel really good about it all the time. Uh, ladies and gentlemen, that can't be further from the truth. Some of my greatest prayer times came after pressing through difficulty. Um, some of my greatest breakthroughs come in a time when I'm not feeling anything at all from God, but I know in my mind well enough to push through and to stick with the plan and to be faithful and to be steadfast until I see a breakthrough. Uh uh, you have to realize that you got to move beyond your feelings, you got to move beyond your premonition, you got to move beyond those things into what it is that God has for you and say, no, I'm gonna stick with the plan and keep on going. So let's review them again. I want you to catch this. Number one, write down the vision. Number two, plan. Prepare to plan. You know, that's very, very important that you do that. You've got to prepare a plan. Uh, number three, you've got to work with the plan. That's very, very important. Number four, you've got to expect opposition. Number five, when that opposition comes, stick to it. If there's anything I can give you, stick to the plan 2026. And then number six, you will see and experience the fruit of the plan in your life. Now I want to pray for you because I believe that if you're watching right now and you're listening, God has a plan. He's dropping in your spirit that he wants you to work. He's got a vision. The vision is God's, but the plan is yours. I mean, of course, God will help you, but he's not going to do that for you. That's something you have to do. And I want to pray that you will have the grace and all that you need in order and the faith to launch out and do the plan that God's put in your heart because of the vision. So, Father, I pray right now for every person that you would speak to their hearts, oh God. Lord, the vision you've put inside of them. But Lord, I pray that these words that we have shared today would speak to their heart and their mind and that they would begin to prepare a plan to see that vision come to fruition. And Lord, I'm praying that once they have the plan, they would begin to work the plan. And Father God, I'm asking today, Father, that when they experience opposition, they will know that it is because of the plan. And because of that, they will stick to the plan. And Lord, if we can all stick to the plan in 2026, we will experience the fruit of the plan in our lives. So, Father God, we just welcome you right now. We thank you for your anointing. We thank you for this practical word, Father, given to us that we might be in alignment with you. Lord, we don't want to sit back, Father God, and expect you to do everything and we do nothing. But Father God, we want to stick with the plan and we want to execute it, Father. And Lord, I know that if we do that, we will experience the fruit. And Father God, I believe there were a season that you want us to produce much fruit. So, Father God, help us and anoint us and give us practicality along with spirituality, Father. Help us to interweave those together. And Lord, I thank you and I give you praise, honor, and glory for anointing us all, letting your hand be upon our lives. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Now, listen, before we go, would you take a minute? Like, subscribe, follow, and share. Get this word out. Six steps to seeing your vision fulfilled in 2026. Man, what a great word, a great practical word that we don't just get all this revelation and not do anything with what God has given us. And I believe that as you work these things, God's gonna bless you in a supernatural way. I want you to pray for us because tomorrow we do our annual planning meeting at our church. And we're gonna do with our leadership, we're gonna plan out our whole year and cast a vision. I'm just telling you this. That's something that we do. Do it in your personal life, do it in ministry, do it in your business, and watch what God will do in and through your life. So uh tomorrow at 12 o'clock, uh, we will be uh, I'm sorry, we won't have prayer at 12 o'clock for Saturday and Sunday. I apologize. Uh, we will not have prayer Saturday and Sunday, but we'll have dimensions at 8 o'clock tomorrow night and Sunday night. So uh get yourself prepared for that. We'll be back tomorrow at that time. And then starting next Monday through Friday, we will have prayer at 12 and also our dimensions at 8 p.m. So it's gonna be good. And I want to thank you all for tuning in, get the word out. Thank you so much for joining with us. You can come back and check it out again, download the podcast, and then otherwise, tomorrow night, your boy will be right back here at 8 p.m., believing God for something supernatural to happen in and through your life. Because you know, ladies and gentlemen, this always happens every time you tune into Dimensions. I'll see you next time.
