The Thames Barrier - some body's vision / dream made reality!
Let me share with you a paragraph from a book called “The Heavenly Party.” The book is by Michelle Guinness, who was a Jewish lady who married a vicar. She writes from a Jewish perspective but as a born again follower of Jesus.
“I don’t know whose idea it was to make Western Christianity so lifeless and dull, but it certainly didn’t come from God. From the beginning of time, when he gave human beings a glorious garden setting where they could rest, play and sport to their hearts content, through the Jewish Scriptures with their details instructions for festivals, pageants and lengthily extended holidays, to the Gospel parables where Jesus describes heaven as a fabulous banquet to which everyone has an invitation, it is abundantly clear that God loves nothing better than having a good time.. And since no one not even God wants to party alone, he made us to share in the fun. In fact he so enjoys our company that he regular manages to out party all of us.”
Christianity, being a follow of Jesus opens the door to a new dimension of life, once we choose to accept Jesus as our lord and Saviour the colour of live in all its intricacies and all its details begin I would like to suggest to make sense of the world around us, we live in the now being part of the not yet. We live in the time between the first and second coming of Jesus. We lives as citizens of the heavenly kingdom but with a mission to bring that kingdom in on earth, as we live out and dreams the dreams and enable the visions that God has given us to become reality.
Acts 2:17-18
This is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
