See it!

SCRIPTURE  

Nehemiah 2:13
“And I went out by night through the Valley Gate to the Serpent Well and the Refuse Gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which were burned with fire.”
 
Nehemiah 2:17
“Then I said to them, ‘You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies in waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach.’” 
 
OBSERVATION 

Helen Keller said, “The only thing worse than being blind is to have sight and no vision.” Faith gives us the ability to visualize the thing God has put on our hearts actually happening. Faith is seeing what cannot be seen without faith. Nehemiah understood this principle. He has a clear knowledge of the current state of the walls, but he also saw something else. He could see what they would be like at completion. Faith perceives as reality those things that are not revealed to the natural senses. His response to what he saw in his spirit was to arise and build the walls.

Faith is not passive. It will require work on your behalf. The Bible tells us that faith without works is dead. The thing you see and believe God for is going to require effort on your part. It may require a change in lifestyle and sacrifice.  God does not always grant us vision to see the end result completely, but provides “a lamp unto our feet”. Can you see yourself getting a promotion or starting a new business? Can you see yourself being able to meet your commitment to the New Wave Faith Journey? As you begin to see things through God’s eyes, it will build your faith and give you the energy to move forward. Get a vision of God doing through you what you believe for. If you can see it, it can become a reality in your life.

APPLICATION 

Ask yourself, “Can I see God doing the impossible through me?” Ask God to give you eyes to see what He wants to do through you. You should pray, “God, help me to see myself as you see me.” God will begin to show you all that you can become and all that He wants to do in and through you.

Prayer

Jesus, help me see myself as you see me. I want to have vision in my life. Help me today to look out into the future and see your favor on my life. Today, Jesus, I want to see what you see.
