Last Days Believers - Eyes To See (notes)

Last Days Believers - Eyes To See

Why Do We Need Vision?

To know how we will live our lives!

Our Eyes

  • Can be full of darkness or full of light.
  • Can be full of lust and greed or love and compassion for the hurting of the world.

God Set Up

  • A communication system so He could communicate with man from the start.
  • It is through His Word that He speaks to man.
  • It is through visions and dreams and prophecy that God speaks.

Everyone Needs

  • A dream, a vision for his or her life.
  • To know we have a purpose and a destiny.

God Always Uses

Events in our lives to accomplish His purpose.

Example of Joseph.

God Uses events in our lives to fulfill His purpose in and through us.

Principle:

“Do not interpretations belong to God?”

Genesis 40:8

God Gives Visions or dreams to unbelievers so He can demonstrate His power and fulfill His purpose.

Daniel was a young man who had the power to interpret visions and dreams.

Peter & Cornelius

Were both given a vision for the purpose of the Gospel being presented to the gentiles.

Visions & Dreams

Are examples of the power of God that always triumphs over evil.

I Timothy 2

Why we are to pray for those in authority?

Why people in power are so important to the Kingdom:

  • They can influence a nation.
  • They can pass laws that can open avenues for the Gospel to be preached.
  • They can shape the future of the world.
  • They can do much good in any area.
