What are the ideals or the plans that are in your
heart?
Are they worthy of laboring for them?
Not all the plans that we have are good, even
that they look great.
Some of them can bring trouble for
ourselves, our families or for people around us;
some times even for the natural environment
around.
5.
6.
On the spiritual realm, vision is:
To have a clear understanding of what the
Lord wants to do in my personal life, in my
family; in my work, in my Church, around me.
The vision that God gives is not only spiritual
related, but is a general display of different
stages and strategies that will take us to a
fulfillment of dreams, longings and aspirations
that He has put in our hearts for our
enjoyment.
7.
8.
He uses us so that His vision in us is fulfilled
and so we can obtain our purposes, and in the
process He will be glorified in us!
His vision will take us to live a John 10:10 type
of life.
His vision will help us to abort the plans of the
enemy to steal, kill and destroy.
9.
His vision will firstly help us to understand
that it is His Purpose the one that needs to take
place in our lives, putting aside our own ideals.
In the realization of the vision, since the
starting point to its completeness, the Lord will
reinforce His vision in us by different means,
so we can keep up our faith in Him, and hope
in attaining our vision.
10.
Is what God has for my life, for my family, my
work, my personal ministry, for my church, for
society, for my country.
The Vision is not only centered in a near future,
but instead will display in front of us the
magnitude of the plans of God for our lives.
Many times our senses will try to leave God’s
Vision aside, as it could be seen as out of reach,
and in fact on our strength it is. But He will
work it out to fulfillment.
11.
But the Spirit of God in us will testify of the
authenticity of the Vision.
He will edify us.
He will comfort us.
He will console us.
He will grant us understanding of His Vision
by means of the Holy Scriptures and the
revelatory gifts that He puts for our service.
12.
We will speak of a Vision given by God.
God starts in us a Vision of His plans.
We must keep the vision alive.
God will reinforce the Vision, enlarge
it, modify it and help us out so it may
become true.
13.
God grants us the desires of our hearts.
The desires that He puts in our spirit.
The Bible is full of examples where the
Lord puts visions in His people to guide
them to attain what He wants to give
them.
Let’s study some of those examples so
they may serve as models.
14.
15.
16.
Hosea 4:6 (NKJV)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Lack of knowledge of the plans of God implies
lack of knowledge of His word.
His word grants revelation, place where the
spiritual vision is birthed.
17.
Let’s study some biblical characters and find
out what drove them to keep going forward
until they obtained what God had promised
them.
God will always give us a vision of the plans
He has for us.
18. 27 Then
they told him, and said: “We went to
the land where you sent us. It truly flows with
milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the
land are strong; the cities are fortified and very
large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak
there. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the
South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the
Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the
Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks
of the Jordan.”
19.
20.
God presents the vision to us, but is up to us to
accept it or put it aside.
It’s our choice to believe God, to know that He
can do what He is showing us; or we can center
our attention in the problems and in that way
invite the spirit of fear who will tergiversate
the given vision.
21.
Ten of the twelve spies, even that they saw and
reported the wonderful products of the
land, they magnified and centered their vision
in the negative parts of the project.
In this way they put aside God’s plan, they
didn’t trust in the mighty power of their God;
they chose to see their human
limitation, consequently they declared
themselves unable to have success in
conquering the land that God was giving them.
22. 30 Then
Caleb quieted the people before Moses,
and said, “Let us go up at once and take
possession, for we are well able to overcome
it.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said,
“We are not able to go up against the people,
for they are stronger than we.”
23.
Caleb silences the negative comments and makes a
positive declaration,
Let’s go up, let’s get moving, let’s not fix our eyes
in the power of the enemy, we know who are God
is!
For sure we can do it!
To silence negative comments and negative
reports, based on God’s truth is what we must do.
24. 32 And
they gave the children of Israel a bad
report of the land which they had spied out,
saying, “The land through which we have gone
as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants,
and all the people whom we saw in it are men
of great stature. 33 There we saw the
giants[a] (the descendants of Anak came from
the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in
our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
25.
A negative vision just increases negativity.
Fear makes the Israelites to lie.
Fear makes them see themselves miserable in
front of their enemies.
Fear makes them magnify extremely the enemy
and their power.
Fear makes them forget completely about the
miracles, signs and wonders that their God did
to take them out of Egypt.
26.
27. 5 Then
He brought him outside and said, “Look
now toward heaven, and count the stars if you
are able to number them.” And He said to
him, “So shall your descendants be.”
6 And he believed in the LORD, and He
accounted it to him for righteousness.
7 Then He said to him, “I am the LORD, who
brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give
you this land to inherit it.”
28.
God gives Abram a physical view so he can
keep his faith in Him.
Abram chooses to believe God.
This action makes God see him as just man.
He gives him revelation of who He is:
“The Lord”
He reminds him from where He took him, and
He proclaims that he will possess the land
where he is!
29.
Genesis 13:10-11 (NKJV)
10 And
Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain
of Jordan, that it was well watered
everywhere (before the LORD DESTROYED
Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of
the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go
toward Zoar.11 Then Lot chose for himself all
the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east.
And they separated from each other.
30.
Our natural sight can show us marvelous
things. These things can look so
attractive to our senses, however; if we
don’t have an affirmation of the Holy
Spirit; that vision, if we pursue its
consecution can bring us problems.
That happened to Lot, we know the
consequences of his speedy decision.
31.
32. 14 And
the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had
separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and
look from the place where you are—
northward, southward, eastward, and
westward; 15 for all the land which you see I
give to you and your
descendants[a] forever. 16 And I will make your
descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a
man could number the dust of the
earth, then your descendants also could be
numbered. 17 Arise, walk in the land through its
length and its width, for I give it to you.”
33.
When we centre our eyes on God, He
will extend the perimeter of our vision.
The higher that we are in Him (Eph 2:46); our radius of vision will be
multiplied greatly.
God will reinforce the given vision, but
at the same time He will increase it,
because He is a God that knows no
limitation.
34.
Abram obeys God and goes to live in the place
that God said, and walks through all the land
that God has assigned for him and his
descendants.
Once we accept God’s vision and declare it as
ours, it is time then to walk on it, knowing
that the vision is already ordered in the
spiritual realm and that in the natural the
process of its execution is on march.
35.
2 And
the Syrians had gone out on raids, and had
brought back captive a young girl from the land
of Israel. She waited on Naaman’s wife. 3 Then she
said to her mistress, “If only my master were with
the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal
him of his leprosy.” 4 And Naaman went in and told
his master, saying, “Thus and thus said the girl
who is from the land of Israel.”
5 Then the king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will
send a letter to the king of Israel.”
So he departed and took with him ten talents of
silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes
of clothing.
36.
37.
We are not only receptors of visions, but
we are as well creators of visions.
The slave girl speaking with her Mistress
about the power of the Prophet in
Samaria, creates in her the vision of seen
her husband free of leprosy; this vision
doesn’t stay only with her, but is
transmitted to her spouse as well.
38.
39.
Naaman appropriates the vision of been
free from leprosy, and transmit his
vision to his King.
The king believes the vision of his
General.
God grants Naaman favor in the eyes of
his King, who not only gives him
permission to go to Samaria, but even
finances his travelling.
40.
41. 20 And
suddenly, a woman who had a flow of
blood for twelve years came from behind and
touched the hem of His garment. 21 For she
said to herself, “If only I may touch His
garment, I shall be made well.” 22 But Jesus
turned around, and when He saw her He
said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith
has made you well.” And the woman was
made well from that hour.
42.
Jesus said: “Daughter; your faith has made you
well.”
What is faith?
“Strong or unshakeable belief in something,
especially without proof or evidence.”
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen.”
My natural eyes don’t see it, but my spiritual
eyes grant me the vision that propels me to
attain my goal!
43.
44.
Immediately many gathered together, so that
there was no longer room to receive them, not
even near the door. And He preached the word to
them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a
paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And
when they could not come near Him because of
the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He
was. So when they had broken through, they let
down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the
paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
45.
The paralytic’s friend’s vision was: To see their
friend healed. For this they had to take him to
the feet of the Master.
The obstacle of the crowd didn’t diminish the
burning desire of their vision. Knowing that
their vision was close to fulfillment they
weren’t stop by the crowd; climbing to the roof
they drilled a whole and lowered their friend to
the feet of Jesus!
Their vision was fulfilled.
46.
47.
As k the Lord to send
you and surround you
with people that
accept your vision.
People that will help
you without interest
to obtain your vision.
Surround yourself
with friends that
believe your vision.
48.
Envy, egoism, lack of
faith of others can be
as water thrown out
over the fire of your
vision.
Stay away from those
who don’t believe in
you and are a
stumbling block on
your path.
49.
50.
Jesus Vision was his sacrifice on the cross to
bring salvation for Jewish and gentiles.
He experimented so much trouble and
opposition coming from the Church Leaders of
the day; But it didn’t diminish His vision.
He knew He was going to suffer and be
tortured, but he kept His eyes on the cross.
He knew His Father at one point would not
respond to His plea, but He knew that at the
end the victory was His.
51.
52.
While they were with the Master:
Be in His inner circle.
Learn and practice His teachings.
To see the Kingdom of Israel
restored.
To see Jesus’ Kingdom established in
their days on life.
To be partners in His Kingdom.
53.
54.
After Jesus ascension to heaven:
Pray and wait for the promise made by The
Master.
Stay safe.
Gather together away from the Romans and
the Pharisees.
55.
56.
After the coming of the Holy Spirit:
To live in unity, obedient to the teachings of the
Apostles.
To share all their belongings.
To spread the good news even to the expense
of their lives, demonstrating the power that
Jesus has conferred them.
To reach peoples in other cities.
To wait for the returning of the Lord.
57.
To expand the Good News to all the tribes,
tongues and nations of the world.
To extend the message of salvation and make
Disciples of Christ.
Get ready as a Bride pure and without spot,
waiting for the Bridegroom Jesus to come.
To reign and judge with Him.
58.
59.

for each one of us, for our families, for our
Church, our ministries and our community.
