The In-Between Time

About the Book

The In-between Time is about my journey from the time of my calling to the manifestation of God's vision. Even though God calls or chooses you to a vision, it does not mean that it is going to happen right away. There is a lot of preparation time that goes into preparing you for the vision. God has great plans for you, but how you stand during the preparation times will determine if you will make it. "I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Rev. 3:8 There are many sacrifices that will have to be made in order for you to stay focused and not fall away to the distractions that will come from every side. Jesus had stern words here for two would-be disciples. Jesus informed him that following the Son of Man would not be easy. That following him would require sacrifice, especially the sacrifice of self, and that following him would, from time to time, bring trials of many kinds (Mark Crow, p 65). I have learned that God shows you the vision first; he doesn’t show what happens between the times he shows the vision to the time the vision is manifested, for you can have something to hold on to when the storms come. There will be distractions and persecutions; there will be trouble, but keep your eyes on the Lord to help bring you through. God is your anchor. Jesus told Thomas, “I am the way, truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
