Foreword
ОглавлениеFinding a vision for your own life is immensely important. But this requires an ability to see: open, inner eyes to see and receive what is from the invisible realm. A higher perspective is like a lighthouse at the coast. When the weather is good, no one needs it, but in storms and bad weather, it is essential for survival. A vision provides orientation so that we can stay on course. It is a glimpse of hope in the darkness.
I will never forget my first contact with Elfi. After her e-mail query about participating in a course on the subject of “ministering prophetically”, which I was leading, we spoke by phone. After a few cautious questions, she began to tell me how she had met Jesus and the amazing things He had shown her. Hope and vision flowed from what she said like a bubbling stream.
Now Elfi serves at my side in the prophetic ministry and it is a privilege to be involved in her fulfilled and overflowing life.
I can say with certainty that Elfi can see. She sees with her spiritual eyes the gifts and promises that the Heavenly Father has provided for people. The combination of having “a view of one’s own life” and her resolute and courageous “yes” to Jesus make her an explosive mix. The love for people in her heart is what drives her, and she comes across as a woman who has something to say.
Being single is her status, but that is not her identity. Elfi lives a fulfilled life, and does so with a clear vision; she hears the melody of her heart and follows the voice of her beloved—Jesus.
It has taken her all her courage to write down the message of this book in order to make it accessible for others who also wish to have a clear heavenly vision for their life.
No matter what your current status is, this book aims to challenge you to receive vision for your life. Your life is not defined by your future marriage partner, but by you and Jesus on the adventurous journey of life.
As Elfi draws you into her own life story, she will show you what “all in”—being complete in HIM—means. She has given her whole heart with all her dreams and visions into Jesus’ hands and trusts him fully to be the best “dating agency” there is. She is willing to face honestly the process of waiting without taking her own short-cuts or allowing her relationship with God to be tarnished.
As His beloved daughter, she knows that the best still lies ahead.
