prophet Habakkuk part 2...run toward your vision`


The pressing ponderation presented itself as a vision for Habakkuk to see. The Prophet did see(verse 1) something that moved him into questioning and weight of heavy emotion. Here his prophethood came alive, although somewhat seems minor and obscure like prophet, the questions he asked jumb out of us in our own personal struggles with injustice, violence and law breaking glimpses, that shake us at times.
Habakkuk questioned God on this but God answer troubled him even more, so he asked again! God then reassured him by speaking a prophetic word....If he could only wait it would all be revealed clear to him. Habakkuk renewed his position of faith by this: 2:4 and God answered "the just shall live by faith", and to wait for the vision for it is for an appointed time.
Ch2:2 "and the lord answered me and said, "Write the vision and make it plain upon tables that he may run that readeth it, for the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie, though it tarry wait, because it will surely come".
Gods word here a spken as a living thing which will speak and will come through in time of great oppressions and threat of violence, lawlessness, one is moved by God toward vision, and not just vision but to write the vision.
An action is spoken of to write...
write: compose, comprehend, take in, compile, enter into the composition, build into with embodiment.
not just a passing inner vision but one you compile and build upon. Habakkuk further calls us to be watchmen- to watch what God will say in the situation. and what you would answer with, your reaction prophetically.
What questions are striving within you? that you might speak to God concerning as him minor prophet. And what shall I answer? I tell you what prophet Habakkuk did.
"I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower and watch to see what he will say to me." There is a tower involved here a high place of view. Where one can see the whole view below. I am standing on my watch not in denial or passivity of not even paying attention to whats going down...But in faith forming a vision with faith to get through it.
Habukkuk continues with a vision of tribulation period in chap 3. it is a time of trembling where in one might rest in the day of trouble, why? because you were already on the watch and stationed in him word on the matter. There is no other way.
Habbakkuk ends with prophesying that God will make his feet like hinds feet to walk upon high places.
I prophesy over you today that you will run toward your vision, his word though it may tarry will not lie, it will come to pass in your life situations. by faith you will stand through the trembling and rise to strength to walk on high places. I prophesy a new vision to come unto you in your tower where you will look out to seas of vision....run toward your vision....

Hey there, Denise!! You found me! Awesome!! I've been thinking about you, and meant to go over to 360 to read your new stuff, and it's so slooooooow that i avoid it. So now you're here. Great!!! I'm having some immediate family things going on that are taking a lot of prayer and energy. Right now I'm going to cook supper for hubby and me. When I get a chance I'll come back and read your entries. Prophetic friends are hard to find. Thank you for being one. Hugs.
