Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart

Hebrews 11:27, “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.”

This verse clearly reveals that Moses was under a controlling vision.

It was that vision and sight that enabled him to break the hold that the world had upon him.

Oftentimes we struggle with sin, the world, the flesh, and the devil.

We become depressed over ourselves.

We read books on how to be delivered and how to overcome.

The answers we seek, or the ones presented to us by various ministries, are many times like band-aids that only give superficial help.

What we really need is one big healing dose of vision that will infuse us with power to experience the Lord in our lives.

We need to have our eyes opened to see why God made us, and what our purpose is on the earth!

Paul applied this principle of vision to the Corinthians in dealing with their fornication.

In 1 Corinthians 6:19 he says, “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”

In other words, he is saying, “Don’t you know?

Don’t you have vision concerning yourself?

Haven’t you seen who you really are?

Instead of wasting your life in fornication, consider the revelation God gives concerning your body–Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.”

Paul’s way of handling this problem was not merely to apply a band-aid to it or to condemn the behavior in itself.

He wanted to bring the believers up to a higher level of living.

Rather than superficially dealing with the problem, he wanted them to have vision about their bodies.

He knew that vision would not only cause them to break the chains of an immoral life, but it would lift them to a new plateau of Christian life.

Vision makes a difference in how we relate to sin, the flesh, and the world. In effect, vision controls us.
