Thank you for this video. I recall being mystified during the 'Name it, claim it' phase which made it's way through Christian circles decades ago. It was then I sought God's direction with blessing and purpose and I found Psa 37:4 (NIV) Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. I analyzed that phrase and came up with a very different meaning. It was then I started asking God to put into my heart the desires which were in line with His will, as opposed to asking God to provide to me things I wanted. When I started praying in that way, my perceptions changed. I started having a higher perspective of the world around me and that my petty 'wants' were not a striving toward God's vision for this world. I was reminded of this life happening during this video because you urged men striving toward a vision to move toward God's calling first and find that mission within God's calling. I feel you are correct in this urging.
