THE IMPORTANCE OF VISIONS by Pam Clark

We have to WORK on our vision. True visions will take you into the will of God. "Without a vision, the people perish!" Read this in several English translations; it is very enlightening! Proverbs 29:18 - Bible Gateway There are MANY explanations in that verse in each of the translations. It will tell you where you and our nation stand! But we also have to know how to interpret visions, because while visions are abundance these days, good understanding is not and we are living in a season of chaos that looks like it could get worse! A vision is more than a picture or short movie. The world is putting all kinds of "visions" on people, telling them what the future is, but most are not from the real God, but are vain imaginations. This is one reason why the media mountain matters so much. But since we are open in some ways to both sides of getting visions, from God or the world, the flesh and the devil, we need to know also, HOW THEY WORK! Visions are not just to make you "look good." They are part of a conversation that the spirits or Spirit is trying to bring you into. If it is from God, IT WILL line up with His Word! Prophets will have visions, and so will those who have prophetic inclinations, meaning it is an associated gift for them, that are for warnings, and info you need to bring God's will to pass, and they are for warnings, and inspiration. A vision is more of a tool than just a sensation, word of knowledge or word of wisdom, it is a tool to help build His Kingdom! But I really think that people have been discouraged from reading the Word of God and that has limited our group understanding! Of course the enemy loves that because it hinders, divides and causes arguments without finding the hope and the good. It makes people believe that only a few can "understand." Friend, God is managing THE WORLD, He is NOT limited and He can wear many work hats, as we say. One wobbly tire on a vehicle can really throw off its ability to navigate you! Many want to make prophecies, dreams, visions, and words, a secret society thing! That also hinders. It divides the Body. Our whole lives, even for prophets, should not be just about special "words" or messages. They are for HELPING US knowing God better and being able to navigate life more productively! But sadly many turn it into a cult and the enemy surely has done that today in many forms. But God wants to give you and others REVELATION so that you can see and know Him and find your place of fulfillment through His will! He is way more supernatural than the devil! One translation reads, Without a vision, the people perish and cast off restraint. That means they just do what they please without any guidance in world with a lot of SIN! Many try to keep people from having any future revelation at all! The world is going to end, so give up now! Is that the Nature of God??? NO! God does have a purpose and plan for YOUR life, but it also is to work with others of His, too! But if you don't know what you need to know, nor how to discern it, it can get you into trouble! If you can't understand His Word, and many know basic stuff because of the good teachers we have, then you won't be able to go deep and you will pushed around with stuff! The deeper your foundation, the stronger you are! Many want to manipulate others with their visions and words and a lot of that is just for getting funds. Ministers NEED funds just like you do, and should they starve while trying to help you? But if the goal of their words is for funds, then you need to discern where that is leading you! God wants us to have a free and generous spirit! That is a big key in learning Him! You have to learn how to successfully live in freedom and liberty. Today we have obviously lost a lot but others have heard of our past and are flocking over to our nation! God is not into tyrants! Those kingdoms don't last real long and often there is much destruction clean up and broken homes and lives. Breaking wrong spirits off is challenging but once you get the right stronghold, many blessings will come with God's favor on those who get it right with Him! Our path to God is THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, not just through men and doctrines (which can help, or harm). When you learn and discern your gift, you are able to help others which brings blessings back to you too! When things work up hate and anger in you, you have to figure out WHAT you are dealing with! This is where a lot of discernment is learned. And you won't learn anything without the knowledge of the Word that you can UNDERSTAND. It IS a growing process, but people of Love rejoice with others when they do. We can corral a bunch of young believers but when they start learning and asking, we need the other gifts because if we don't have them at work, a rejection will come that only divides and conquers. WE ARE NOT gods that He put in charge by knowledge. His Word says that knowledge can puff up and cause us to go (from a lack of balance) lop sided and tumble over or war! When the competition war spirit (that comes from the world) comes into the Church, then man becomes an enemy not a friend! That is not God's Plan! So we have all these divisions and insult and put down one another. Apostles who get this will rise up and be gifted to help correct this, but their power and judgments will carry some weight! But don't take that the wrong way and go deeper into the snare! This is a Spirit journey. What was Jesus like? He came as our Example. More later. (if you pray good, smile!)
