FROM THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE TO MOUNT CARMEL - overcoming fear with faith

Prov 29:18

“Where there is no vision the people perish, but he that keeps that law happy is he”

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6)

• Vision is a powerful God-given gift that many have forsaken.
• Sight is of the eyes but vision is of the heart. (Helen Keller - the only thing worse than being blind is having sight yet no vision)
• Vision is not a “name it and claim type thing- vision goes hand in hand with God’s promise for you and your family. 
• People of great faith are able to envision God’s promises coming to fruition in their lives (affirmation and declaration without action is the beginning of insanity)
• A vision that comes into alignment (vertical) with God’s word will produce a blessed outcome, however, a skewed vision will produce undesirable results.

• Dysfunction creates a distorted perception of who God is and who we are in Him.

 

Amos 3:3: how can two walk together if they don’t come into an agreement (breakthrough won’t come for an undecided mind) Indecision is closely related to doubt and fear

 

Paul told the people of Corinth “for we walk by faith and not by sight”

Our life is a matter of faith and not sight. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen (Heb 11:1)…

Corrie Ten Boom "Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.”
