Make it clear on tablets so that anyone can read it quickly. I failed English IV my senior year of high school. I was uncomfortable but accepting of the "F" letter grade on my final report card. No matter how much I wanted to rid myself of this scarlet letter, I had to accept it. I failed. I took the summer off and began taking classes at the Community College the following fall semester.
I decided to push past my unfavorable experience and register for an English course. The syllabus was distributed, I blended in with the other students and set my heart on becoming the first male in my family to graduate from college. Upon completing my first writing assignment, I was reluctant to turn it in, but I did.
During the next week of class, I learned of the "professor's discrete paper return. You have probably observed this technique or used it yourself.
The professor reads your name aloud, identifies and locates your seat and walks toward you. He places a thumb at the bottom of the center of the paper, curling it with the four fingers to hide the notation that indicates success or failure on the assignment. What sealed this moment in my mind was my professor's pseudo-whispered comment, "See me after class. You need help.

I successfully passed all of my English course work with the support of my wife. What I did not know at the time was that all of my university professors were writing project fellows. After reading the book of Habakkuk several times, it hit me like a ton of bricks that I needed a written vision from God to implement in my life, marriage and family.
Vision is revealed to the person in position to listen. In order for you to unlock the power of your vision, you must get alone with God to listen for His directions. Your place can be a room in the basement, the living room after everyone is asleep, an early morning walk or a quiet place in the park. Your time alone with Him must be uninterrupted. Put away your mobile devices, turn off the television, close your Facebook page and tell your family and friends not to disturb you.
Vision must be written down. After you have spent time seeking God, write down in explicit details what He reveals to you. Write it in the present tense, as though it has already happened. A written vision gives you the correct directions and coordinates you need to follow to get to your desired destination. Vision must be made plain. You need to write your vision in plain, simple to understand language that even a fifth grader can grasp it. Creating a vision that is clear and simple to understand eliminates confusion that can hinder your progress.
A vision that is plain will energize and ignite an excitement in everyone that is connected to it and they will run with it in eager anticipation. Vision must be posted. Once you have written your vision and made it plain, now it is time to post it so that everyone connected to it can read it. Vision overcomes obstacles. Do not think because God gives you a clear vision that everything is going to be smooth sailing.
You are going to encounter some steep challenges and you will hit some unforeseeable turbulence. But, a vision from God gives you the strength and courage to pursue it with an aggressive offensive attack that empowers you to overcome any obstacle that stands in your way. Please do not rush your vision. Be patient. When you make your own plans to manifest your vision, you force those plans into your own timetable and can possibly delay or detour your destiny. Visions manifest when God determines the right time.
Vision must be lived by faith. The more you focus your attention on your vision the more your faith grows. Taking slow and steady faith steps on your vision journey opens the door for opportunities to succeed.
If you choose to activate your faith, you will courageously move forward in following your promised path that leads to vision success. If you implement these seven keys, your vision will powerfully impact in your life, family and everyone connected to you.
