How Do We Receive a Vision?
There are various ways we can receive a vision from God
Proverbs 29:18
"Where there is no vision, the people perish." (KJV)
"The people cast off restraint." (NKJ)
SEEK HIM
Jeremiah 29:13
"You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all
your heart."
WAIT AND LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAS TO GIVE US
Habakkuk 2:1-3
"I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and
watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer
when I am corrected. (2) Then the LORD answered me and
said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets.'"
PRESENT OURSELVES TOTALLY TO HIM
Romans 12:1-2
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. (2) And
do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good
and acceptable and perfect will of God."
THROUGH DREAMS
Genesis 37:5-7
"Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and
they hated him even more. (6) So he said to them, “Please
hear this dream which I have dreamed."
THROUGH A HEAVENLY VISION
Isaiah 6:1-8
"In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a
throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the
temple. (8) Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom
shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then I said, “Here am
I! Send me."
THROUGH A DIRECT WORD FROM GOD
Jeremiah 1:4-10
"Then the word of the Lord came to me saying: (5) 'Before I
formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born
I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.'"
When we have fulfilled our personal responsibility, God will
use others to confirm it to us. This will also stimulate us to
seek Him for confirmation of what He has told us through someone else. This does not take place quickly, but requires time and patience.
Hebrews 6:12
"But imitate those who through faith and patience inherit
the promises."
