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 (Acts 2:17).
In our theme verse, Peter reiterated the words of the prophet in Joel 2:28. Notice that the prophet didn’t say, “God shall show your young men visions”; rather, God’s
Word through the prophet was, “…your young men shall see visions….” This is different from God supremely granting us visions and revelations, realities of the Spirit that He unveils to us; we’re to consciously, with our spirits, see visions. It’s part of the blessings the Church is to experience in these last days.
You can actually practice seeing visions; visions of your blessed life in Christ; visions of your triumphant and victorious life, and walk in the love, power and righteousness of Christ! If visions of fear, death, sickness, poverty and failure come to you, reject them; then switch your mind immediately to the realities of God’s Word and refocus; reprogramme or realign yourself to see the right visions.
When you practice this, you’ll be amazed at what God will do in your life. It’s actually interesting to note that once you’re born again, it’s the first thing He trains you to do. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold (see) , all things are become new.” The word, “behold” is the Greek “idou”; it’s akin to the Hebrew word, “kazar,” which means to look and see with the eyes of a prophet.
Abraham who is the father of faith, the father of us all. God already set the precedent with Abraham. You have to practice seeing realities. Consciously create time, when, all by yourself, you use your spiritual sight.
God has set eternity in your heart (Ecclesiastes 3:11). You’ve been given an extraordinary capacity to contemplate, think, envision, and see. Use this powerful spiritual tool to dominate your world. There’re no limits to the extent and capacity with which you can function; the extent to which you can “see,” is the extent to which you can make real in your life. So, what can you see?
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word which gives me insight into realities. I’m the seed of Abraham, and therefore, a possessor of the whole world. I envision and possess divine health, prosperity, victories, beauties and glories of the Christ-life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
