The Vision God Gave to John F_

Here is the vision God gave to John F_ , as delivered to the congregation today:

I have been chosen
I have been chosen
I have been chosen

I was bought at a price

God… saved… you

God, set you apart

It’s not an accident that you’re living here and it’s not an accident you’re in this church

Pete sang a worship song to God:

“I will live my life to follow you, I will live my life to worship you.”

‘Do you believe this?’

Through this church God has chosen to express his power, God has chosen to express his love and God has chosen to express his presence.

1 Peter 2:9-12 You are a chosen people

You are a holy people, called by God

You are a temple – what is the condition of your temple?

I saw two hills, one had some houses on it and the other had a huge house, a significant building, a significant place

In between the hills was a ravine and just through the hills a town and then the sea.

A cloud came down and moved forward through the hills and filled everything around me.


In the town was oppression, depression, sin and loneliness

The prominent place [significant building] had a large entrance. It had additions to the building which were part of the original design.

This significant building is The Beacon Church.

The other little houses on the other hill were other churches

God says to us, ‘I called you to be a light.’

The town is looking to the church

But the church doesn’t seem that different to them, though they look to you!

In the main room in the significant building people are worshipping Jesus – no question [they believe]

But there is a wall around the outside of them and it was a screen. There were people on the other side of that screen. There were things stopping them from living in Christ’s’ freedom. They were born again but things were stopping them and they weren’t operating in the gifts.

The people on the outside could see the inside

The people on the outside had impropriety in finance and in business

There were lies and there was deceit

There was pride


Some here have given up on their marriage partner
God says, ‘I have not given up on you! Don’t give up!
Love is not an emotion – it is an act of will!’

‘I will give you love where there is no love.’

‘Honour your father and mother whether or not they believe in Jesus.’

Some are concerned for their future

Feeling they are not of any worth

Victims of what other people have said about them

God says, ‘I will heal, I will restore.’

‘You are of worth to me.’

There was a road, hearses, funeral directors

Unless these people deal with these issues, they will go the grave still with these issues and problems!

John 8 ‘If the son shall set you free – you will be free indeed’

There were the people who are healing, releasing and forgiving and they pushed down the screen

The people behind the screen opened their arms signifying strength and there was support and encouragement

There was no condemnation
There was no judgement
There was acceptance
There was openness

The church grew

People kneeled
People repented

They said to God, ‘This is me’

There was no superiority but there was great love

The sun shone so that the magnificent building was flooded from the inside

The front of the building, the large doors had Norman style doors with huge pillars

The pillars look like hands reaching up and coming together to a point

‘The pillars are my people praying – now they understand.’

The fog lifted

The town came to the church

There was always room for more and it never filled

Marred, disfigured and mutilated bodies came to the church and the church welcomed them

They found Jesus, they found joy, they found freedom, peace and purpose

Their bodies were healed and their demeanour changed

There were rooms with various ministries from within the church

There were people being sent

Some, to plant churches

Some to the town

Some to beyond the sea

‘I will make you a sending church’

‘You will be a beacon!’
