Day 14

Download script of today’s thoughts here.

Isaiah 58:12 - Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

These verses from Isaiah have stirred up vision for us as church over the last few years. Someone said “Vision is hope with a blueprint.” It’s a burning “yes” inside. Charles Swindoll writes “Vision is spawned by faith, sustained by hope, sparked by imagination, and strengthened by enthusiasm.”

What really provokes me, moves me is when God’s vision is a movement that changes my world and even more so the world around me.

Today, I want to encourage us to watch this video below of the communities of Horfield and Lockleaze to encourage us to pray the words of Isaiah 58:12 over these communities or wherever you live. Let’s pray for a release of vision and renewed vision as we declare Jesus’ HOPE to shine brightly into homes and lives.

Why not take your own photos of your community and put together a video on your phones (there are apps that can help) or share photos of your community on social media with a prayer? Please share with us on info@ebe.org.uk.
