Sermon Note
Pastor Prince
New is coming. New in every area of your life
Vision is for the future
Without faith is impossible to please God.
In the kingdom of God, it is more real than what we see. Is the invisible that brought forth visible
Hebrews 11:1
By Faith We Understand
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 Corinthians 4:18
while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
What is reality is invisible
God breathe into man His breath
Ephesians 1:17-18
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
God wants our eyes to be opened to the knowledge of Jesus
Luke 24:30-31
Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.
Jesus walked with both. Emmaus means warm bath.
After He walked with them, they broke bread
Open our spiritual eyes by communion
Luke 24:27
And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
To know Him is eternal life. The greatest of all blessings
Isaiah 1:1
The vision (hazon) of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw (chazah) concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Chazah –
To see, prophesy, provide
To see as a seer
In your vision is the provision
Exodus 18:21
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
Provide -> chazah
Provide is the word chazah
When the Lord sees to it, it is provided for
Your provision is in the vision
Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Whatever He shows you, the provision is in the vision
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Our inheritance is in the cross
Genesis 13:14-18
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; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever. 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. Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”
Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.
All the land which you see i give to you
You see all the land, all the land i give to you
Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you
It is not physical walking
Abram moved his tent. He walked in the spirit
Deuteronomy 34:1
Moses Dies on Mount Nebo
Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan,
When the Lord showed, it is prophetic
Every place you see when you walk, is yours
If you see it, you are provided for
Your provision is in the vision
Your vision is enlarged before you can possess that level
The vision of God will enlarge you
It causes you to be there before you are there.
Mamre – strength fatness
Hebron – association
Chabburah – stripes
With our alliance with Jesus we are healed
I am your exceeding great reward (salary)
Genesis 15:1
After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
According to His riches means all His riches
Genesis 15:1-2
After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
He was not operating in faith.
Not to have faith is a great insult to God
God never condemn Abraham
Child train yes. But not punished by God
Romans 8:1
Free from Indwelling Sin
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Seed – Jesus
Genesis 15:6
And he believed (amen) in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
When we say amen, we are releasing our faith and believe in God’s Word
Jesus is portrayed as Lion of Judah
So shall thy seed (Jesus) be

And Balaam raised his eyes, and saw Israel encamped according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
Then he took up his oracle and said:
“The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor,
The utterance of the man whose eyes are opened,
The utterance of him who hears the words of God,
Who sees the vision of the Almighty,
Who falls down, with eyes wide open:
“How lovely are your tents, O Jacob!
Your dwellings, O Israel!
Like valleys that stretch out,
Like gardens by the riverside,
Like aloes planted by the LORD,
Like cedars beside the waters.
Camp according to his tribes
Hears the words of God
Sees the vision of the Almighty
Vision->Machazeh

God changed the words they speak
2 Corinthians 4:13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
God changed his visions before He changed his words
3 months of changing his speech about himself
20 years before, God showed Abraham visions of the stars
God kept on changing his heart. His vision.
Romans 4:19-21
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
God emphasis a lot on our seeing
Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

We are not toiling to get money
Jesus’ food is His ℓσνє for us
