VOL. 51 : N o 10 : IN PRINT SINCE '73 INSIDE OCT Editor's Letter A Look Into the Future Ever wished you could peek into the future just to see what it holds for you? Well, you're not the only one. At some point, we all have wondered what it would be like to have a glimpse of the future—the hope being that we would see something good. But what if the picture you see is not so good? Better yet, what if your future was based on your past? Would there be anything to look forward to? Fortunately, your heavenly Father, who is in control of your life, does not base your future on your past. In fact, He planned a wonderful future for us before we were even born. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." That's pretty easy to understand, but read how The Message translates that verse: "I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for." Before the foundation of the world, God planned your life and charted every step you would take—day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year—on the way to reaching your destiny. And today, He is still determined to help you get there. So, why wonder when we already know what's up ahead? God has already peeked into your future—and mine. And while He may not be as specific as we would hope, the vision He shares is clear. God has a divinely orchestrated plan for your life—a good plan— and He is working to bring it to pass. Speaking of looking into the future, Pastor George Pearsons, the CEO of KCM and senior pastor of EMIC, has launched a new TV program on VICTORY Channel™ called Inside the Vision. It's designed to keep you, our Partners and Friends, up to date on what's happening regarding the growth and expansion of the ministry—The Revival Capital of the World ® . You can now watch Inside the Vision by going online to insidethevision.org. By the way, if you missed the feature article about Inside the Vision in last month's magazine, go back and check it out.
