What do yoy see.

What do you see?

"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?"

Genesis 15:2

Our opening scripture reveals something very important in our walk of faith which I want you to understand today. Faith is seeing yourself in the light of the Word of God. Here in our opening scripture, the confession of Abram reveals to us that he was not seeing himself in the light of the Word of God. He was seeing himself going childless which was contrary to what God had already said to him in Genesis 12:2 where God said, "…I will make of thee a great nation, …" Also in Genesis 13:16 God said to him, "And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered."

Inspite of these words that God already said to Abram, he still was not able to see himself having children until God had to correct his perspective. That was why God came to Abram in Genesis 15:4 and said, "… This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir." In Genesis 15:5-6 the Bible says, "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." So every time Abram looked at the stars, he saw his seed. When he saw the stars he visualized his children.

It is not just enough for you to say that you are walking by faith. What pictures do you visualize? Are you seeing yourself in the light of what God has said to you? or are you looking at the contrary evidence? It is time for you to begin to visualize your future because it is the future you visualize that will be.

Instruction.

Meditate on Jeremiah 29:11 and Proverbs 4:18 even as you visualize yourself in the great future God has ordained for you.

Genesis 13:14-17, Isaiah 60:1-22.

Doing the Word.

I encourage you to revisit your prophecy or dream note and visualize and declare those things God has said to you previously.
