THE MEANING OF VISION...PART 1

What is it?

Why have the Jews been hated so long? They had a vision and they kept their eyes on God and the coming Messiah. Go with me to Deuteronomy 11: 18-23

18 Therefore you shall lay up these My words in your [minds and] hearts and in your [entire] being, and bind them for a sign upon your hands and as forehead bands between your eyes
19 And you shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you rise up.
20 And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
21 That your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.
22 For if you diligently keep all this commandment which I command you to do, to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to cleave to Him-
23 Then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you shall disposses nations greater and mightier than you.

What is the meaning of Vision? Let’s look at Isaiah 46:9, 10

9 [Earnestly] remember the former things, [which I did] of old; for I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is non like me
10 Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure and purpose.

God sees something that needs to be done and He declares the end from the beginning. First see something and then speak it into existence.
Write the vision, make it plain. Inspect the vision, stay on top of it. We are not to come into a vision and just sit to see.

Vision is sight, the ability to see. In Latin the word video comes fromvison. Don’t operate in the past, look at the vision of the future. The purpose of the Holy Spirit is to show us what is to come.
What will hinder vision? Whatever is happening at the moment, distractions. We have to keep our eyes on the vision at all times, press everything else out of the way, focus on the vision.

Genesis 13: 14, 17 God had a vision, he had to find someone to get into the vision, that would yield into the vision. Just make sure it is the vision that God has for you and not someone else. Pray in the spirit for your own vision.

Lift up your eyes and see the complete picture. Are you aware that many body parts line up with faith? Eye of faith, Walk by faith. We have to see through the eyes of faith. Walk from where you are about, into where you will be. The more you talk the vision the more it becomes real. Start where you are. If you can see it with the eye of faith, you can have it.

God Bless
