Where Visions Come From

Vision is often determined by who you spend most of your time with. Consider Paul's call to the Gentiles in Asia Minor. Paul was in Antioch working among Gentiles when he had the vision of the man asking him to come over to Macedonia.

So the question might be for some of us, with whom are we spending most of our time? If it is among church people, then our vision is focused on them. If it is among the unwashed, non-Christian, pagan gentile, it most likely for them. God works out of the context of our lives.

The same was true with Jesus. He spent most of his time with people who were not part of the system. True, most of them were Jews, but most of them were discarded or rejected Jews. With whom are you spending your time?
