The Vision
The Vision give to Apostle Jack Cockrel
The vision the Lord gave me about Southside Christian Center, which has became The Faith Covenant Network. He said the work was here and beyond here. He showed me a huge sanctuary. Actually, I thought it was another church that had a large auditorium for a sanctuary but no it was at Southside Christian Center.
This place should be or rather will be a hospital for the soul. People will come in sick, hurting physically and spiritually. He said we would pour in wine and oil. Supernatural healing and deliverance will take place; latter rain stuff. This will help produce the harvest. He showed me an endless line of priestly clad people as far as the eye can see! Coming through me, I know this sounds like I would be something but it’s the anointing not me, I am just His vessel!
These priestly clad people will go to the ends of the world and spread the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, with signs and wonders confirming the Word!
The Lord reveled to me in a dream before I began to pastor Southside Christian Center, myself catching huge fish in two different places. They were large mounds of fish. The next day He told me that the fish represented souls! Perhaps two locations of the church and/or two home bases, because the Lord is not limited to moving in two locations. God's will is to win the nations for the cause of Christ.
Hab. 2:2 says "write the vision, make it plain upon tablets, that he that reads it may run with it."
Some may think that the food bank, the Christian school, radio station and ECT are the vision but they are not the vision only the result or attribute of the vision.
The vision is to raise up sons and daughters in the Lord and send them out to surrounding areas (city, county, state, & nations) as in Acts 1:8. Yes we need laborers in the harvest and in the church but God will supply them and what we need, if we catch the vision. For you see the vision is not mine, but God's. I just said yes Lord, I’ll go and when I said that it seemed like nothing else mattered.
We believe the apostolic reformation is to raise up, send out, plant churches and support missions to evangelize the world. After all before the Lord returns He says, "This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and just then the end shall come." Matt 24:14.
So just as Hab. 2:3 says, “The vision is for an appointed time it will not tarry.”
Now is the time for the vision!!
Now it’s speaking, will you hear?
Will you get on board?
