VISIONS
SEMINAR

Welcome to CG
Learning to Prophesy
• I truly believe God gives us Visions and dreams in this
days.
• Sadly, we can easily shut the flow of a vision as we don’t
understand how a vision comes into being.
• In this Seminar will discuss some points that we’ll help you
to realize that many of your previous experiences have
been a product not of chance, nor of your own imagination,
but have been a revelation of our God.
Need of visions
• Churches are a bit reluctant to accept or to encourage
people who are developing a sense of vision, mainly
because there is not guidance on how to channel the
potential of the gifting.
• As a consequence the “visionary” people are discouraged
and at times impede to share about their gifting, eventually
they would left the church and join streams were they can
fit, sadly many of them go to what we call the New Age
movement.
Put fear away
• It is my personal opinion that we, as the church of Christ
need to have a deeper understanding of the many facets of
the spiritual gifting that our God has given us.
• God has provide us of five natural senses that once
sanctified, those same senses will be the portals leadings
us into the spiritual realm.
• It is very important to realize that we must train our natural
senses, they are our entry points to our soul; needless to
say that our soul must be in a continuous process of
sanctification.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT A VISION
IS
• 1a : the act or power of seeing : SIGHT
b : the special sense by which the qualities of
an object (such as color, luminosity, shape,
and size) constituting its appearance are
perceived through a process in which light
rays entering the eye are transformed by the
retina into electrical signals that are
transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve
Merriam-Webster Definition
• 2a : something seen in a dream, trance, or
ecstasy; especially : a supernatural
appearance that conveys a revelation
b : a thought, concept, or object formed by
the imagination
c : a manifestation to the senses of
something immaterial.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
• 3a : the act or power of imagination
b (1) : mode of seeing or conceiving
(2) : unusual discernment or foresight
(a person of vision)
c : direct mystical awareness of the
supernatural usually in visible form
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
• Let me tell you that a lot of people have had
supernatural encounters with God and with angels.
• They have also have some visions, but amazingly
they didn’t realize those type of spiritual
manifestations were coming from God and they
have in a naive way dismiss them as something that
was “product of their own imagination.”
VISIONS IN OUR TIMES
• 10 and to another the working of [a]miracles, and to
another prophecy [foretelling the future, speaking a new
message from God to the people], and to another
discernment of spirits [the ability to distinguish sound,
godly doctrine from the deceptive doctrine of man-made
religions and cults], to another various kinds of
[unknown] tongues, and to another interpretation of
tongues.
• Therefore, the manifested Gift of “Discerning of Spirits” is
very important to help us out to understand if what is
coming in to our vision is a worldly or a God given vision.
1 Corinthians 12:10 (AMP)
• 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NKJV)
• 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.
• Scripture encourages us to look beyond the natural,
to look for the supernatural.
THINGS WICH ARE NOT SEEN
• Job 42:5 Amplified Bible (AMP)
• 5 “I had heard of You [only] by the hearing of the ear,
But now my [spiritual] eye sees You.
• Hearing is information received from others, while
seeing is your personal revelation.
• Seeing is a gift that The Holy Spirit activates in you
by personal revelation.
SEEING IS PERSONAL REVELATION.
• Habakkuk 2:1 Amplified Bible (AMP)
• 2 I will stand at my guard post
And station myself on the tower;
And I will keep watch to see what He will say to me,
And what answer I will give [as His spokesman]
when I am reproved.
• Once you ask God for something, WAIT for an
answer, He will surely reply to you.
KEEP A WATCH TO SEE
• Hebrews 5:14 New King James Version (NKJV)
• 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full
age, that is, those who by reason of use have their
senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
• Our five senses are a marvellous gift from God,
using them correctly will take us into a world way
beyond the natural!
TRAINING OF THE SENSES
• I propose the following activations as a way to
demonstrate:
1. The power of our mind,
2. The need to change our mindset,
3. Re-educate or recondition our way of thinking and
seeing,
4. Learn the simplicity of signs,

BACK TO THE BIBLE
• John 10:27 New King James Version (NKJV)
• 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and
they follow Me.
• If you are a follower of Jesus you are able to hear God’s
voice.
• You have to discern it. He speaks to your innermost being.
• Most people just don’t pay attention to His voice, and use
their own thoughts instead.
You can and you must hear HIS VOICE
• Numbers 12:6 New King James Version (NKJV)
• 6 Then He said,
• “Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision;
I speak to him in a dream.
• Even if you are not called to be a “PROPHET”, you can still
be trained by the Holy Spirit to see God’s Face and hear His
voice.
Is your desire to Prophesy?
• Joel 2:28 New King James Version (NKJV)
• God’s Spirit Poured Out
• 28 “And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.
• Acts 2:17
This is for YOU!
• Proverbs 29:18 New King James Version (NKJV)
• 18 Where there is no revelation,[a] the people cast off
restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.
• Proverbs 29:18 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
• 18 Without a prophetic vision, the people throw off
all restraint; but he who keeps Torah is happy.
Revelation = Prophetic Vision
• Proverbs 29:18 Amplified Bible (AMP)
• 18 Where there is no vision [no revelation of God and
His word], the people are unrestrained;
But happy and blessed is he who keeps the law [of
God].
• Proverbs 29:18 The Message Bible
• If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble
all over themselves; but when they attend to what
He reveals, they are most blessed.
Vision = God Reveals Himself
• John 5:19Amplified Bible (AMP)
• 19 So Jesus answered them by saying, “I assure
you and most solemnly say to you, the Son [a]can do
nothing of Himself [of His own accord], unless it is
something He sees the Father doing; for whatever things
the Father does, the Son [in His turn] also does in the same
way.
JESUS DID
WHAT HE SAW HIS FATHER DOING
• Habakkuk 2:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
• 3 “For the vision is yet for the appointed [future] time
It hurries toward the goal [of fulfillment]; it will not fail.
Even though it delays, wait [patiently] for it,
Because it will certainly come; it will not delay.
VISION FULFILLED IN GOD’S TIME
PREPARING YOUR
EYES TO SEE GOD’
• 16 These six things the LORD hates;
Indeed, seven are repulsive to Him:
17 A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate
oneself and discount others], a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that creates wicked plans,
Feet that run swiftly to evil,
19 A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths],
And one who spreads discord (rumors) among brothers.
Proverbs 6:16-19 Amplified Bible (AMP)
• 11 Even so, consider yourselves to be dead to sin [and your
relationship to it broken], but alive to God [in unbroken
fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.
• 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that
you obey its lusts and passions.
Romans 6:11-12Amplified Bible (AMP)
• 13 Do not go on offering members of your body to sin as
instruments of wickedness. But offer yourselves to God [in
a decisive act] as those alive [raised] from the dead [to a
new life], and your members [all of your abilities—
sanctified, set apart] as instruments of righteousness
[yielded] to God.
Romans 6:13Amplified Bible (AMP)
• 2 “Son of man, you live among a rebellious house,
who have eyes to see but do not see, who have ears
to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious
people.
Ezekiel 12:2Amplified Bible (AMP)
• 16 For all that is in the world—the lust and sensual craving of the
flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride
of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the
stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father,
but are from the world.
1 John 2:16Amplified Bible (AMP)
• Your prayer,
• Offer your eyes to the Lord,
• What you want to see,
• Why you want to see.
