KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (5): BY VISIONS
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Acts 16:9 (KJV)
Vision in this context is the experience where Yahweh opens your eyes to see something while your eyes maybe open or closed. Open vision is where your physical eyes are not closed but you see into the spiritual realm. Visions can come while you are sleeping or while you are awake. Yahweh does not lead us through vision primarily. Visions come as confirmation of what Yahweh is telling us on our inside. Visions are never to lead the church. Visions are judged by the Word of Yahweh just like prophecy. The coming of the Holy Spirit sparked off an era of visionary encounters. Acts 2:17 says, ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:’
The Lord would lead unbelievers through visions because they do not have the Holy Spirit living in them. We saw this in the life of Cornelius. Acts 10:1-3 says, ‘1 There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. 3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.’ Cornelius was a devout man, but he was not born again. He did not know about Yahushua. He was a Jewish proselyte. The angel who appeared to him in this vision could not preach the gospel to him. Yahweh did not call angels to preach the gospel; El-Shaddai called men to preach the gospel. However, the angel did tell Cornelius where to send for someone who could preach the gospel to him and tell him how to be saved.
After Paul saw that vision in our opening text, there was an inward witness that all of them seem to have agreeing that the vision is a direction from Yahweh. This is very important. Never run with any vision in which you do not have an inward witness about. Yahweh is not an author of confusion. If a vision is agitating your mind; if a vision has taken away your peace, then discard that vision. One of the ways we recognize that inward witness is the attendant peace which passes all understanding that follows. Acts 16:10 says, ‘And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.’ “Assuredly gathering” was that inward Witness. For the recreated human spirit, vision is not the primary way Yahweh leads you, however, a vision confirms the leading and sheds more light on what to expect concerning what Yahweh has already told you. Do NOT seek vision. Visions come at the discretion of the Lord. Selah!
REMEMBER: Every vision must be judged by the Word and the Inward Witness.
CONFESSION: My Father is committed to leading me. I do not seek visions but if the Holy Spirit deem fit to show me a vision, glory be to the Lord. Halleluyah!!!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I curse every spiritual blindness in your life now and I decree that you come to visions and revelations of the Lord from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
