JOEL 2:28
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.”

KEYWORD: When you begin to see yourself the way God sees you, your life will begin to move in that same direction.

One of the most important things in your life after being born again is spiritual vision. One of the reasons the Holy Spirit fills your life is to open your spiritual eyes so you can see what God wants you to see. As far as you can see is how far you can go.

Genesis 13:14 to 15 “And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.”

Without spiritual sight you are limited. Without vision you cannot make steady progress in the purpose of God for your life.

Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Without vision, people cast off restraint. Your life is greatly influenced by how you see yourself through God’s Word. The way you are living today is largely a reflection of how you see yourself. This is why when someone is troubled, discouraged, or emotionally wounded, it is often reflected in the person’s attitude, speech, appearance, and decisions.

However, when that person begins to see himself differently through the Word of God and says, “I am important. I am special. God has a purpose for my life,” everything begins to change. His confidence changes. His attitude changes. Even the way he carries himself begins to change, not because he wants to impress anyone, but because his understanding of who he is has changed.

When you begin to see yourself the way God sees you, your life will begin to move in that same direction. The Holy Spirit has come to help you see rightly. Therefore, refuse every wrong picture the enemy presents to your mind and embrace the vision God is revealing to you through His Word. Hallelujah!

PRAYER:
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit who opens my eyes to see the things You want me to see. I receive grace to see clearly, walk in Your purpose, and remain focused on every vision You reveal to me. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
