Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - How To Discern Visions And Dreams From God | May 14, 2026
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.311
- Joseph prince: the way god leads us
- 00:00:13.056 --> 00:00:14.591
- Many a times, okay, is through god's word.
- 00:00:14.591 --> 00:00:17.127
- That's the number one way, amen?
- 00:00:17.127 --> 00:00:19.095
- But the word comes in picture form, amen.
- 00:00:19.095 --> 00:00:22.265
- So, do expect to see visions and even dreams at night,
- 00:00:22.265 --> 00:00:27.003
- But in line with the word of god.
- 00:00:27.003 --> 00:00:28.872
- If god speaks it, if god shows it,
- 00:00:28.872 --> 00:00:31.674
- It will come to pass.
- 00:00:31.674 --> 00:00:33.676
- Sometimes it may seem to delay, but wait for it,
- 00:00:33.676 --> 00:00:36.546
- It will surely come to pass.
- 00:00:36.546 --> 00:00:39.082
- It will not tarry, amen.
- 00:00:39.082 --> 00:00:41.384
- Not everyone could prophesy in the old testament.
- 00:00:41.384 --> 00:00:44.487
- Only prophets, they are the ones
- 00:00:44.487 --> 00:00:46.689
- Who see visions, they are the one
- 00:00:46.689 --> 00:00:48.291
- Who dream dreams, and of course, prophet,
- 00:00:48.291 --> 00:00:50.927
- Priest, or king can qualify for that,
- 00:00:50.927 --> 00:00:53.263
- But most frequently it is in the ministry
- 00:00:53.263 --> 00:00:54.898
- Of the prophet in the old testament.
- 00:00:54.898 --> 00:00:56.633
- What was isolated for that ministry is
- 00:00:56.633 --> 00:00:59.903
- Now the property, the god-given inheritance,
- 00:00:59.903 --> 00:01:03.606
- For every child of god, amen?
- 00:01:03.606 --> 00:01:05.575
- If you're a believer, amen, if you are a christian,
- 00:01:05.575 --> 00:01:08.278
- That is your inheritance.
- 00:01:08.278 --> 00:01:10.246
- Male announcer: what if this is the moment god
- 00:01:10.313 --> 00:01:11.948
- Is using to reach you?
- 00:01:11.948 --> 00:01:14.284
- What if this is an invitation to live the life
- 00:01:14.284 --> 00:01:16.186
- God has called you to live?
- 00:01:16.186 --> 00:01:18.454
- In today's message, joseph unveils
- 00:01:18.454 --> 00:01:20.557
- Scriptural truths and divine secrets
- 00:01:20.557 --> 00:01:22.692
- On how to live the overcoming life.
- 00:01:22.692 --> 00:01:25.361
- Joseph prince: the bible says that in the last days,
- 00:01:25.361 --> 00:01:27.363
- God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh.
- 00:01:27.363 --> 00:01:30.333
- So we are looking forward for a worldwide revival,
- 00:01:30.333 --> 00:01:32.569
- Hallelujah, amen.

- Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
- 00:02:12.108 --> 00:02:14.277
- With today's program.
- 00:02:14.277 --> 00:02:15.912
- Joseph prince: hazon is the hebrew word
- 00:02:15.912 --> 00:02:18.281
- For prophetic visions from god.
- 00:02:18.281 --> 00:02:20.850
- When god speaks to you in picture form,
- 00:02:20.850 --> 00:02:24.954
- That's the hazon vision and the difference
- 00:02:24.954 --> 00:02:28.091
- From the visions that are of the world
- 00:02:28.091 --> 00:02:31.461
- Or from the devil is that the results are all godlike.
- 00:02:31.461 --> 00:02:36.032
- If god speaks it, if god shows it,
- 00:02:36.032 --> 00:02:38.801
- It will come to pass, amen.
- 00:02:38.801 --> 00:02:41.204
- And usually when the devil gives a vision that--
- 00:02:41.204 --> 00:02:44.073
- I mean, the devil can also give a vision.
- 00:02:44.073 --> 00:02:45.975
- But usually the vision will be something catastrophic,
- 00:02:45.975 --> 00:02:49.545
- Something evil, and then it sort of devastates you.
- 00:02:49.545 --> 00:02:53.416
- It--you feel dejected, you feel forlorn
- 00:02:53.416 --> 00:02:55.451
- Just thinking about it, or you have a nightmare
- 00:02:55.451 --> 00:02:57.553
- Along these lines.
- 00:02:57.553 --> 00:02:58.888
- Just know when you wake up in the name of jesus,
- 00:02:58.888 --> 00:03:01.124
- Bind it, amen.
- 00:03:01.124 --> 00:03:02.792
- If something causes fear in your heart,
- 00:03:02.792 --> 00:03:05.128
- You have a nightmare about yourself
- 00:03:05.128 --> 00:03:06.696
- Or your family, you know, being in danger
- 00:03:06.696 --> 00:03:09.432
- Or something negative, just bind it
- 00:03:09.432 --> 00:03:11.334
- In the name of jesus when you wake up, amen.
- 00:03:11.334 --> 00:03:13.970
- Today i want to share with you how god speaks, amen,
- 00:03:13.970 --> 00:03:17.040
- The methodology.
- 00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:18.374
- Now that we've--we know that god wants to give us
- 00:03:18.374 --> 00:03:20.710
- This hazon vision for our lives.
- 00:03:20.710 --> 00:03:23.179
- Now for this hazon vision, it can involve
- 00:03:23.179 --> 00:03:27.383
- Different levels of hazon vision, amen,
- 00:03:27.383 --> 00:03:30.753
- Different stratas and facets of our life, amen.
- 00:03:30.753 --> 00:03:34.057
- Even for a ruler, amen, a king like nebuchadnezzar.
- 00:03:34.057 --> 00:03:39.329
- He had a dream from god.
- 00:03:39.329 --> 00:03:40.730
- He had a vision in the night of what is to be,
- 00:03:40.730 --> 00:03:43.900
- What is to happen, something god will reveal
- 00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:46.169
- To even an unbeliever, amen, unbelieving king, amen.
- 00:03:46.169 --> 00:03:50.707
- His ways, but it takes a believer to interpret, amen.
- 00:03:50.707 --> 00:03:54.243
- An unbeliever will not be able
- 00:03:54.243 --> 00:03:56.879
- To understand the symbols and what it all means,
- 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.416
- But someone filled with a god spirit
- 00:04:00.416 --> 00:04:02.085
- Will be able to say, amen.
- 00:04:02.085 --> 00:04:03.753
- Remember also, pharaoh in egypt, pharaoh had the same challenge,
- 00:04:03.753 --> 00:04:08.491
- You know, he had this dream, this recurring dream, amen.
- 00:04:08.491 --> 00:04:12.261
- And no one was able to interpret except joseph,
- 00:04:12.261 --> 00:04:14.931
- And he said this: "can we find such a one
- 00:04:14.931 --> 00:04:17.100
- In whom is the spirit of god?"
- 00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:18.935
- He can see god in joseph, so they can have dreams,
- 00:04:18.935 --> 00:04:22.138
- They can have a vision, but they're not able
- 00:04:22.138 --> 00:04:23.606
- To interpret.
- 00:04:23.606 --> 00:04:24.941
- That is in the realm of wisdom, wisdom that comes from god.
- 00:04:24.941 --> 00:04:28.411
- Now remember this, the apostle peter
- 00:04:28.411 --> 00:04:31.013
- On the day of pentecost, he stood up,
- 00:04:31.013 --> 00:04:33.049
- And remember this also, that this is
- 00:04:33.049 --> 00:04:35.551
- After jesus died and rose again.
- 00:04:35.551 --> 00:04:38.221
- He's died for our sins, amen.
- 00:04:38.221 --> 00:04:40.323
- He was crucified, and we were all crucified
- 00:04:40.323 --> 00:04:42.558
- With him, amen.
- 00:04:42.558 --> 00:04:44.060
- When he was buried, we were buried in him.
- 00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:46.295
- When he was raised, we are raised together
- 00:04:46.295 --> 00:04:48.431
- With him and made to sit together with him
- 00:04:48.431 --> 00:04:51.267
- In heavenly places in christ.
- 00:04:51.267 --> 00:04:52.935
- So now we are in the new covenant.
- 00:04:52.935 --> 00:04:55.438
- The new covenant has been inaugurated, amen.
- 00:04:55.438 --> 00:04:58.775
- So what i'm gonna share right now is the new covenant.
- 00:04:58.775 --> 00:05:01.210
- It's no more old covenant.
- 00:05:01.210 --> 00:05:02.545
- Some people say that, you know,
- 00:05:02.545 --> 00:05:03.880
- In the new covenant, god does not speak
- 00:05:03.880 --> 00:05:05.248
- With visions and dreams, or they will say that god can,
- 00:05:05.248 --> 00:05:09.218
- But that's not his normal way, okay?
- 00:05:09.218 --> 00:05:11.587
- So hence they discredit visions and dreams
- 00:05:11.587 --> 00:05:14.857
- And they cause people to like--they actually,
- 00:05:14.857 --> 00:05:19.061
- In effect, they nullify visions and dreams
- 00:05:19.061 --> 00:05:22.298
- In the lives of believers.
- 00:05:22.298 --> 00:05:23.733
- Believers don't esteem it, they don't expect it,
- 00:05:23.733 --> 00:05:26.335
- They don't want it to manifest for fear
- 00:05:26.335 --> 00:05:30.273
- That they might receive a vision from the devil.
- 00:05:30.273 --> 00:05:32.742
- So friend, we gotta be careful
- 00:05:32.742 --> 00:05:34.577
- That we don't fall for that, amen.
- 00:05:34.577 --> 00:05:36.913
- This is our rightful inheritance.
- 00:05:36.913 --> 00:05:39.182
- The way god leads us many a times, okay,
- 00:05:39.182 --> 00:05:41.818
- Is through god's word.
- 00:05:41.818 --> 00:05:43.152
- That's the number one way, amen?
- 00:05:43.152 --> 00:05:45.221
- And more times than ever, god speaks to me
- 00:05:45.221 --> 00:05:48.057
- From the word, but the word comes
- 00:05:48.057 --> 00:05:50.226
- In picture form, amen.
- 00:05:50.226 --> 00:05:52.462
- So, do expect to see visions and even dreams at night,
- 00:05:52.462 --> 00:05:57.166
- But in line with the word of god.
- 00:05:57.166 --> 00:05:59.101
- And for sure, we all know that if the devil
- 00:05:59.101 --> 00:06:01.404
- Gives a vision or a dream, it will never be in line
- 00:06:01.404 --> 00:06:04.140
- With the word of god.
- 00:06:04.140 --> 00:06:05.508
- But there are some dreams that god may give
- 00:06:05.508 --> 00:06:08.744
- That has elements of catastrophe
- 00:06:08.744 --> 00:06:12.782
- Or, you know, like, especially for those who are
- 00:06:12.782 --> 00:06:14.851
- On the--in the prophet's role of the calling of a prophet,
- 00:06:14.851 --> 00:06:19.222
- And there are still prophets in the new testament.
- 00:06:19.222 --> 00:06:22.158
- But usually it'll come with an answer like
- 00:06:22.158 --> 00:06:24.994
- When agabus the prophet stood up and he prophesied
- 00:06:24.994 --> 00:06:27.797
- There'll be a great famine, a great dearth coming
- 00:06:27.797 --> 00:06:31.167
- Throughout to all the world, and then the solution was
- 00:06:31.167 --> 00:06:34.437
- To get together and provide resources
- 00:06:34.437 --> 00:06:36.873
- For the poor saints, especially those saints
- 00:06:36.873 --> 00:06:39.075
- In jerusalem.
- 00:06:39.075 --> 00:06:40.409
- So that that comes in, something negative,
- 00:06:40.409 --> 00:06:42.211
- Yet god will always give something positive
- 00:06:42.211 --> 00:06:44.647
- For us to walk in, but the devil will just give you negative
- 00:06:44.647 --> 00:06:46.782
- After negativism, all right,
- 00:06:46.782 --> 00:06:48.351
- And just fearful images, fearful visions,
- 00:06:48.351 --> 00:06:52.588
- And he wants you to fear it because, like job says,
- 00:06:52.588 --> 00:06:55.892
- The thing which i greatly fear is come upon me.
- 00:06:55.892 --> 00:06:58.060
- So, god wants to give you a faith vision,
- 00:06:58.060 --> 00:07:00.363
- So whatever you believe for, according to your faith
- 00:07:00.363 --> 00:07:03.032
- Be it unto you, amen?
- 00:07:03.032 --> 00:07:04.667
- So yes, god's word, god's vision, can come
- 00:07:04.667 --> 00:07:07.436
- From the scriptures.
- 00:07:07.436 --> 00:07:08.771
- Now, what was particular, what was specific
- 00:07:08.771 --> 00:07:13.943
- And individual in the old testament?
- 00:07:13.943 --> 00:07:16.646
- In other words, not everyone could prophesy
- 00:07:16.646 --> 00:07:18.915
- In the old testament, amen.
- 00:07:18.915 --> 00:07:21.817
- Only prophets, they are the ones
- 00:07:21.817 --> 00:07:24.020
- Who see visions, they are the one
- 00:07:24.020 --> 00:07:25.621
- Who dream dreams, and of course, prophet,
- 00:07:25.621 --> 00:07:28.257
- Priest, or king can qualify for that,
- 00:07:28.257 --> 00:07:30.560
- But most frequently it is in the ministry
- 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.194
- Of the prophet in the old testament.
- 00:07:32.194 --> 00:07:33.963
- What was isolated for that ministry is
- 00:07:33.963 --> 00:07:37.233
- Now the property, the god-given inheritance,
- 00:07:37.233 --> 00:07:40.937
- For every child of god, amen?
- 00:07:40.937 --> 00:07:42.905
- If you're a believer, amen, if you are a christian,
- 00:07:42.905 --> 00:07:45.608
- That is your inheritance.
- 00:07:45.608 --> 00:07:47.443
- So that's not to say that all of us are prophets.
- 00:07:47.443 --> 00:07:50.146
- There are still new testament prophets,
- 00:07:50.146 --> 00:07:52.114
- Amen, one of the fivefold gifts that jesus gives
- 00:07:52.114 --> 00:07:55.284
- In the book of ephesians.
- 00:07:55.284 --> 00:07:56.619
- So let's go right now to see what else
- 00:07:56.619 --> 00:07:58.421
- That god has for us.
- 00:07:58.421 --> 00:07:59.755
- God says, "when i give you a vision,
- 00:07:59.755 --> 00:08:02.325
- Sometimes it may seem to delay, but wait for it.
- 00:08:02.325 --> 00:08:05.227
- It will surely come to pass.
- 00:08:05.227 --> 00:08:07.697
- It will not tarry," amen, praise the lord.
- 00:08:07.697 --> 00:08:10.666
- So we have to write down, so it's good for--
- 00:08:10.666 --> 00:08:12.735
- A good practice for you to take a notebook
- 00:08:12.735 --> 00:08:14.837
- Or some exercise book that you have and--
- 00:08:14.837 --> 00:08:17.573
- Or even your smartphone if you have a note page
- 00:08:17.573 --> 00:08:19.642
- That you want to use, all right, you can do that,
- 00:08:19.642 --> 00:08:21.310
- But it's a attitude of faith
- 00:08:21.310 --> 00:08:22.678
- When you come to god and you ask god,
- 00:08:22.678 --> 00:08:25.047
- And i pray that you've done that, okay?
- 00:08:25.047 --> 00:08:26.782
- Ask god, "how do you see my marriage?
- 00:08:26.782 --> 00:08:29.185
- How do you see my ministry, my career?
- 00:08:29.185 --> 00:08:32.388
- Lord, how do you see me? amen."
- 00:08:32.388 --> 00:08:34.757
- And then you write down.
- 00:08:34.757 --> 00:08:36.225
- Because you are seeing the visions come up
- 00:08:36.225 --> 00:08:37.660
- In your spirit.
- 00:08:37.660 --> 00:08:38.995
- Now, it might be just fleeting, gentle, you know, visions
- 00:08:38.995 --> 00:08:41.697
- That come up.
- 00:08:41.697 --> 00:08:43.032
- I wanna teach you how to see god's hazon vision.
- 00:08:43.032 --> 00:08:46.268
- When you ask god, get ready, amen?
- 00:08:46.268 --> 00:08:48.804
- If you ask god for something, remember this,
- 00:08:48.804 --> 00:08:50.706
- In james 1, it says, "if any of you lack wisdom
- 00:08:50.706 --> 00:08:53.643
- Or direction," or even a vision, amen?
- 00:08:53.643 --> 00:08:56.078
- All this is inherent in that word, "wisdom."
- 00:08:56.078 --> 00:09:00.383
- If you lack direction, you want god's wisdom,
- 00:09:00.383 --> 00:09:02.218
- What do you do?
- 00:09:02.218 --> 00:09:03.552
- Let him ask of god that gives to all men
- 00:09:03.552 --> 00:09:06.188
- Liberally and upbraideth not.
- 00:09:06.188 --> 00:09:07.890
- He does not scold you for it. he gives to you liberally.
- 00:09:07.890 --> 00:09:10.393
- "but let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.
- 00:09:10.393 --> 00:09:14.630
- For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea
- 00:09:14.630 --> 00:09:16.632
- Driven with the wind and tossed."
- 00:09:16.632 --> 00:09:17.967
- You see, the bible is full of pictures,
- 00:09:17.967 --> 00:09:19.368
- Giving you--the one that wavers is like a wave of the sea
- 00:09:19.368 --> 00:09:21.604
- Driven with the wind and tossed."
- 00:09:21.604 --> 00:09:23.139
- Don't be like that man, amen?
- 00:09:23.139 --> 00:09:24.840
- "a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways."
- 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.043
- So when you ask, ask in faith, amen?
- 00:09:27.043 --> 00:09:29.745
- Bring out your notebook and ask the lord,
- 00:09:29.745 --> 00:09:31.814
- "how do you see this situation?"
- 00:09:31.814 --> 00:09:33.783
- If you have a problematic situation
- 00:09:33.783 --> 00:09:35.818
- That you want god's answer on, ask god to speak to you.
- 00:09:35.818 --> 00:09:39.221
- Now, if the vision doesn't come then and there, many a times
- 00:09:39.221 --> 00:09:41.757
- I find when you have a pen ready and your book in front of you
- 00:09:41.757 --> 00:09:45.094
- And you write, you journal, as god begins to speak to you--
- 00:09:45.094 --> 00:09:47.830
- Now listen, in the occult world,
- 00:09:47.830 --> 00:09:50.099
- In the new age, they also have this,
- 00:09:50.099 --> 00:09:52.201
- What they call automatic journaling.
- 00:09:52.201 --> 00:09:54.503
- Don't do that.
- 00:09:54.503 --> 00:09:55.838
- What they do is that they make their mind passive,
- 00:09:55.838 --> 00:09:58.007
- Their will passive, they open up a exercise book,
- 00:09:58.007 --> 00:10:00.476
- You see, the devil always copies god's method,
- 00:10:00.476 --> 00:10:02.745
- Except for this.
- 00:10:02.745 --> 00:10:04.080
- God never overrides your choice.
- 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.283
- God wants to cooperate with you, amen.
- 00:10:07.283 --> 00:10:09.618
- He doesn't make you, like, passive
- 00:10:09.618 --> 00:10:11.253
- And then he takes you over.
- 00:10:11.253 --> 00:10:12.822
- That's what the devil does.
- 00:10:12.822 --> 00:10:14.256
- God says, you know, even speaking in tongues, amen.
- 00:10:14.256 --> 00:10:16.726
- We have to speak as the spirit gave us utterance.
- 00:10:16.726 --> 00:10:19.895
- If we don't speak, nothing will happen.
- 00:10:19.895 --> 00:10:21.797
- So god always works with man's will, amen,
- 00:10:21.797 --> 00:10:24.934
- Man's cooperation, hallelujah.
- 00:10:24.934 --> 00:10:26.869
- We are co-laborers with god.
- 00:10:26.869 --> 00:10:28.304
- In the new testament, listen,
- 00:10:28.304 --> 00:10:29.638
- It is not like the old testament.
- 00:10:29.638 --> 00:10:31.340
- The old testament, they prophesy usually
- 00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:33.709
- Many a times, especially before nebuchadnezzar
- 00:10:33.709 --> 00:10:37.113
- And babylon came to take over, you know, to invade jerusalem
- 00:10:37.113 --> 00:10:41.117
- And the land of judah.
- 00:10:41.117 --> 00:10:42.852
- Notice that a lot of the visions
- 00:10:42.852 --> 00:10:44.220
- That he saw were visions of national crisis
- 00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:48.524
- And war and bloodshed, okay?
- 00:10:48.524 --> 00:10:52.294
- Now, would that be true today? listen carefully.
- 00:10:52.294 --> 00:10:54.797
- Unless you are a prophet and called to write
- 00:10:54.797 --> 00:10:57.199
- The book of revelation, but even then
- 00:10:57.199 --> 00:10:59.135
- The book of revelation is the revelation
- 00:10:59.135 --> 00:11:00.469
- Of jesus christ.
- 00:11:00.469 --> 00:11:01.804
- But unless you are called to be a ministry of prophet,
- 00:11:01.804 --> 00:11:03.706
- Don't deal with world events, amen?
- 00:11:03.706 --> 00:11:05.875
- You're not called to things that are higher and above,
- 00:11:05.875 --> 00:11:08.711
- Amen, your pay grade, amen.
- 00:11:08.711 --> 00:11:11.313
- There are prophets who prophesy about world events
- 00:11:11.313 --> 00:11:13.382
- And all that.
- 00:11:13.382 --> 00:11:14.717
- Those who try to attempt to do that
- 00:11:14.717 --> 00:11:16.218
- Without the anointing, they fall flat on their face
- 00:11:16.218 --> 00:11:18.921
- And everyone can see that, you know,
- 00:11:18.921 --> 00:11:21.056
- It didn't come to pass.
- 00:11:21.056 --> 00:11:22.391
- So don't overstep your boundary.
- 00:11:22.391 --> 00:11:24.960
- The simple things that god speaks to us today,
- 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.029
- Like i said, what was isolated for the ministry of the prophet
- 00:11:27.029 --> 00:11:30.499
- In the old testament is now for all of us
- 00:11:30.499 --> 00:11:32.268
- To enjoy, but enjoy within the confines
- 00:11:32.268 --> 00:11:35.838
- Of our life, our ministry, amen, our area
- 00:11:35.838 --> 00:11:40.843
- Of responsibilities and assignment, amen.
- 00:11:40.843 --> 00:11:43.646
- That's where god will speak to you, amen?
- 00:11:43.646 --> 00:11:45.915
- So get ready and ask the lord
- 00:11:45.915 --> 00:11:47.249
- And watch to see that floating image
- 00:11:47.249 --> 00:11:48.984
- On the inside, but you say, "pastor prince,
- 00:11:48.984 --> 00:11:50.419
- I expect an angel to appear in a hazon vision, amen.
- 00:11:50.419 --> 00:11:54.323
- I expect the lord to appear before me."
- 00:11:54.323 --> 00:11:56.859
- Now, this is not the norm.
- 00:11:56.859 --> 00:11:58.527
- For some reason, people always feel like,
- 00:11:58.527 --> 00:12:00.863
- You know, a vision means someone appears
- 00:12:00.863 --> 00:12:04.466
- Before you, either an angel or the lord himself,
- 00:12:04.466 --> 00:12:07.770
- And then if someone is in the room,
- 00:12:07.770 --> 00:12:09.505
- They also see the same thing that you see.
- 00:12:09.505 --> 00:12:11.006
- It's not true.
- 00:12:11.006 --> 00:12:12.341
- Many a times, even when saul
- 00:12:12.341 --> 00:12:13.676
- On the road to damascus, he had a vision.
- 00:12:13.676 --> 00:12:15.411
- The bible says the people around him
- 00:12:15.411 --> 00:12:18.214
- Did not see it, amen.
- 00:12:18.214 --> 00:12:20.182
- They did not see the same lord speaking.
- 00:12:20.182 --> 00:12:23.285
- They heard words, but they did not see
- 00:12:23.285 --> 00:12:25.287
- The lord, amen.
- 00:12:25.287 --> 00:12:26.822
- Same thing for ezekiel.
- 00:12:26.822 --> 00:12:28.157
- Ezekiel says he received a vision,
- 00:12:28.157 --> 00:12:29.658
- But the people around him did not receive the vision.
- 00:12:29.658 --> 00:12:32.328
- But we have this idea, if the lord appears,
- 00:12:32.328 --> 00:12:34.163
- Everybody will see.
- 00:12:34.163 --> 00:12:35.497
- Everybody in the same room will see the lord,
- 00:12:35.497 --> 00:12:37.833
- And it's not true.
- 00:12:37.833 --> 00:12:39.168
- We have ideas about all this which is sensational
- 00:12:39.168 --> 00:12:41.904
- And spectacular, which is not the scriptures.
- 00:12:41.904 --> 00:12:44.240
- God's way, listen, my friend, is that his voice
- 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:47.209
- Is not in the earthquake, nor in the thunder,
- 00:12:47.209 --> 00:12:49.945
- It's in the still small voice and that floating vision
- 00:12:49.945 --> 00:12:53.315
- That comes up as you prepare
- 00:12:53.315 --> 00:12:55.150
- And ask the lord, and as i was sharing
- 00:12:55.150 --> 00:12:57.386
- With my music ministry people, that be ready for new songs.
- 00:12:57.386 --> 00:13:02.324
- And where does song come from? from within, because why?
- 00:13:02.324 --> 00:13:05.160
- God has taken his dwelling in you.
- 00:13:05.160 --> 00:13:06.996
- "i will walk in them. i will dwell in them," amen.
- 00:13:06.996 --> 00:13:10.199
- You are the temple of god himself,
- 00:13:10.199 --> 00:13:12.668
- The temple of the holy spirit.
- 00:13:12.668 --> 00:13:15.004
- A living, breathing temple of god, going somewhere
- 00:13:15.004 --> 00:13:18.207
- To be a blessing to, hallelujah, amen?
- 00:13:18.207 --> 00:13:21.110
- God dwells in you, no more outside you.
- 00:13:21.110 --> 00:13:24.113
- In fact, if it's outside you,
- 00:13:24.113 --> 00:13:26.882
- You can rest be assured that if it's fearful images
- 00:13:26.882 --> 00:13:31.520
- And all that, it's not from god, amen?
- 00:13:31.520 --> 00:13:33.689
- That peace on the inside that the devil
- 00:13:33.689 --> 00:13:36.258
- Cannot imitate, amen?
- 00:13:36.258 --> 00:13:37.593
- It's from inside, and that's why you
- 00:13:37.593 --> 00:13:39.128
- Must keep this verse in your heart, always,
- 00:13:39.128 --> 00:13:41.463
- All right?
- 00:13:41.463 --> 00:13:42.798
- The new testament kind of prophecy
- 00:13:42.798 --> 00:13:45.267
- Or vision is like this.
- 00:13:45.267 --> 00:13:47.036
- 1 corinthians 14, verse 3 tells us:
- 00:13:47.036 --> 00:13:49.805
- "but he who prophesies," now, how did he prophesy?
- 00:13:49.805 --> 00:13:53.175
- In what form?
- 00:13:53.175 --> 00:13:54.510
- Usually in visions, in picture form,
- 00:13:54.510 --> 00:13:57.112
- Not just in words, the words are describing a picture.
- 00:13:57.112 --> 00:14:00.816
- "he who prophesies," prophesy is inspired,
- 00:14:00.816 --> 00:14:04.119
- Spirit-inspired words.
- 00:14:04.119 --> 00:14:07.589
- "he who prophesies speaks," now watch this,
- 00:14:07.589 --> 00:14:09.658
- "edification," look at this, "exhortation
- 00:14:09.658 --> 00:14:12.895
- And comfort to men."
- 00:14:12.895 --> 00:14:14.363
- It's always edifying, it always builds up,
- 00:14:14.363 --> 00:14:16.966
- It always exhorts and administers comfort.
- 00:14:16.966 --> 00:14:20.903
- So when you receive a vision or a dream, amen,
- 00:14:20.903 --> 00:14:24.707
- Or when you ask god to speak to you and you wait as you,
- 00:14:24.707 --> 00:14:28.243
- You know, wait for the lord to speak, remember this,
- 00:14:28.243 --> 00:14:30.279
- When you ask in faith--
- 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.348
- And many a times you'll find a fleeting, you know,
- 00:14:32.348 --> 00:14:35.017
- Image comes, do not doubt, just write down, amen,
- 00:14:35.017 --> 00:14:38.687
- What you see.
- 00:14:38.687 --> 00:14:40.022
- In fact, when you write down, you have a chance
- 00:14:40.022 --> 00:14:41.423
- Later on to look at it, to see
- 00:14:41.423 --> 00:14:43.525
- Whether it's scriptural, it's in line with god's word,
- 00:14:43.525 --> 00:14:45.894
- Or not, amen.
- 00:14:45.894 --> 00:14:47.229
- That's one of the greatest benefits
- 00:14:47.229 --> 00:14:49.031
- Of writing down what god shows you,
- 00:14:49.031 --> 00:14:51.834
- But you must always be under new covenant,
- 00:14:51.834 --> 00:14:53.202
- Must be what?
- 00:14:53.202 --> 00:14:54.536
- Unto edification, unto exhortation, amen,
- 00:14:54.536 --> 00:14:58.974
- And comfort, amen.
- 00:14:58.974 --> 00:15:01.744
- It must always produce that result.
- 00:15:01.744 --> 00:15:03.979
- Now some people will dispute, "well, pastor prince,
- 00:15:03.979 --> 00:15:05.714
- You say that," you know, they still believe
- 00:15:05.714 --> 00:15:07.716
- That a vision will always come like, you know,
- 00:15:07.716 --> 00:15:09.952
- Open vision we call it, like a being come before you
- 00:15:09.952 --> 00:15:12.721
- From god, an angel, usually,
- 00:15:12.721 --> 00:15:14.857
- And he'll bring a message from god and then you look
- 00:15:14.857 --> 00:15:17.292
- At him and if anyone is in the room,
- 00:15:17.292 --> 00:15:18.794
- They'll see him also.
- 00:15:18.794 --> 00:15:20.262
- Now, listen, i'm gonna show you a prophet called daniel.
- 00:15:20.262 --> 00:15:23.665
- Daniel received from god so many visions and dreams.
- 00:15:23.665 --> 00:15:26.301
- In fact, the bible says in daniel 1, verse 17,
- 00:15:26.301 --> 00:15:29.438
- It says: "as for these four young men,"
- 00:15:29.438 --> 00:15:31.774
- Daniel's friends and daniel, "god gave them knowledge
- 00:15:31.774 --> 00:15:35.644
- And skill in all literature and wisdom."
- 00:15:35.644 --> 00:15:39.548
- You can pray that for your children.
- 00:15:39.548 --> 00:15:41.383
- I prayed that for jessica for many years.
- 00:15:41.383 --> 00:15:44.753
- When she started school and all that,
- 00:15:44.753 --> 00:15:46.622
- I started claiming this for her.
- 00:15:46.622 --> 00:15:47.956
- God gives her knowledge.
- 00:15:47.956 --> 00:15:49.391
- Notice that god gave them.
- 00:15:49.391 --> 00:15:51.894
- If we can acquire knowledge and skill
- 00:15:51.894 --> 00:15:54.196
- Just by studying all literature, right, it will not suffice
- 00:15:54.196 --> 00:15:58.233
- Because this is something that god gave them, amen.
- 00:15:58.233 --> 00:16:01.336
- What we have is knowledge, all right,
- 00:16:01.336 --> 00:16:03.739
- Just natural knowledge.
- 00:16:03.739 --> 00:16:05.074
- What we have is understanding, just natural understanding,
- 00:16:05.074 --> 00:16:07.743
- But what god gave them was knowledge and skill
- 00:16:07.743 --> 00:16:09.812
- That is from the lord, amen,
- 00:16:09.812 --> 00:16:11.880
- "in all literature and wisdom; and daniel
- 00:16:11.880 --> 00:16:14.650
- Had understanding," watch this now,
- 00:16:14.650 --> 00:16:16.718
- "in all visions and dreams."
- 00:16:16.718 --> 00:16:18.954
- And he was a young boy, probably a teenager
- 00:16:18.954 --> 00:16:20.722
- At this time, and daniel had understanding
- 00:16:20.722 --> 00:16:23.625
- In all visions and dreams.
- 00:16:23.625 --> 00:16:26.995
- Now, daniel was a prophet, you know, he saw
- 00:16:26.995 --> 00:16:30.099
- The angel gabriel, amen, bring the message of the 70th,
- 00:16:30.099 --> 00:16:34.303
- Very famous vision in the bible called the 70 weeks of daniel,
- 00:16:34.303 --> 00:16:39.007
- Prophetic weeks.
- 00:16:39.007 --> 00:16:40.342
- We are still in the midst of that 70 prophetic weeks
- 00:16:40.342 --> 00:16:44.113
- Of daniel, and then daniel had a vision from god
- 00:16:44.113 --> 00:16:48.484
- When king nebuchadnezzar had a dream from god
- 00:16:48.484 --> 00:16:52.721
- That he was not able to interpret.
- 00:16:52.721 --> 00:16:54.923
- And then he tried to get all his wise men
- 00:16:54.923 --> 00:16:56.558
- To interpret, and they could not interpret,
- 00:16:56.558 --> 00:16:58.127
- And they said to him, "why don't you
- 00:16:58.127 --> 00:16:59.461
- Tell us the dream?
- 00:16:59.461 --> 00:17:00.796
- O king, tell us the dream and then we'll tell you
- 00:17:00.796 --> 00:17:02.264
- The interpretation."
- 00:17:02.264 --> 00:17:03.599
- He said, "ha, ha, ha, ha, you know, you're pretty smart.
- 00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:05.067
- You want me to tell you the dream?
- 00:17:05.067 --> 00:17:06.401
- You can say whatever you want to say
- 00:17:06.401 --> 00:17:07.736
- In the interpretation.
- 00:17:07.736 --> 00:17:09.071
- No, you tell me the interpretation, all right?
- 00:17:09.071 --> 00:17:11.206
- Then i will know that you are hearing from god."
- 00:17:11.206 --> 00:17:13.542
- No one could do that.
- 00:17:13.542 --> 00:17:14.877
- And the bible tells us that daniel,
- 00:17:14.877 --> 00:17:18.447
- These four men, young boys, actually, they
- 00:17:18.447 --> 00:17:20.482
- Were actually probably teenagers at this time.
- 00:17:20.482 --> 00:17:22.584
- And they actually asked god because they are
- 00:17:22.584 --> 00:17:24.153
- Part of the wise men, amen.
- 00:17:24.153 --> 00:17:26.488
- They were brought in from israel
- 00:17:26.488 --> 00:17:27.823
- To be part of the wise men in the court
- 00:17:27.823 --> 00:17:29.625
- Of nebuchadnezzar, and they prayed to god
- 00:17:29.625 --> 00:17:32.628
- And asked god for wisdom, for mercies, the bible says,
- 00:17:32.628 --> 00:17:35.764
- And the secret was revealed to daniel in a night vision.
- 00:17:35.764 --> 00:17:40.068
- And daniel went to the king and daniel gave the king
- 00:17:40.068 --> 00:17:43.005
- The dream that he saw
- 00:17:43.005 --> 00:17:45.407
- And the interpretation thereof, amen?
- 00:17:45.407 --> 00:17:48.477
- And the king knew that this is from god,
- 00:17:48.477 --> 00:17:50.112
- And he promoted daniel.
- 00:17:50.112 --> 00:17:51.713
- But how did daniel see visions?
- 00:17:51.713 --> 00:17:53.048
- Would you like to see how daniel sees visions?
- 00:17:53.048 --> 00:17:54.516
- It's not all the time like it's open vision.
- 00:17:54.516 --> 00:17:56.718
- Yes, there is an open vision where the angel appears
- 00:17:56.718 --> 00:17:58.854
- Before you.
- 00:17:58.854 --> 00:18:00.189
- I've not had too many of that, amen.
- 00:18:00.189 --> 00:18:02.224
- I had a vision of an angel with my eyes open one time,
- 00:18:02.224 --> 00:18:05.627
- Many years ago, and then i've had many,
- 00:18:05.627 --> 00:18:09.164
- Many, many visions on the inside that came to pass,
- 00:18:09.164 --> 00:18:12.434
- Amen.
- 00:18:12.434 --> 00:18:13.769
- So look at daniel and how he sees visions, okay?
- 00:18:13.769 --> 00:18:18.607
- The bible says: "in the first year
- 00:18:18.607 --> 00:18:19.942
- Of belshazzar king of babylon,
- 00:18:19.942 --> 00:18:22.477
- Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head
- 00:18:22.477 --> 00:18:26.415
- As he lay in his bed."
- 00:18:26.415 --> 00:18:28.483
- Wow, that's not very spiritual.
- 00:18:28.483 --> 00:18:31.153
- You are lying down there in your bed and you
- 00:18:31.153 --> 00:18:32.988
- Are getting visions from god?
- 00:18:32.988 --> 00:18:35.824
- "then he wrote down the dream." there, the writing down again.
- 00:18:35.824 --> 00:18:39.261
- "then he wrote down the dream and told the sum of the matter."
- 00:18:39.261 --> 00:18:43.165
- Now once again, daniel saw a dream
- 00:18:43.165 --> 00:18:45.133
- And visions of his-- where was it?
- 00:18:45.133 --> 00:18:47.869
- In his head as he lay in his bed.
- 00:18:47.869 --> 00:18:52.641
- So as he's lying down there, visions keep coming up
- 00:18:52.641 --> 00:18:56.211
- To him, all right, visions and dreams,
- 00:18:56.211 --> 00:18:58.380
- And he knew it's from god, amen.
- 00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:02.050
- And he took a, you know, back then,
- 00:19:02.050 --> 00:19:05.087
- Probably a stylus that he used to write down
- 00:19:05.087 --> 00:19:08.123
- On the papyrus what he saw,
- 00:19:08.123 --> 00:19:10.792
- But it came to him as he was lying in bed,
- 00:19:10.792 --> 00:19:13.729
- A most unspiritual moment.
- 00:19:13.729 --> 00:19:16.765
- But many a time that's how god speaks.
- 00:19:16.765 --> 00:19:18.533
- In fact, if you look carefully at how daniel interpreted the--
- 00:19:18.533 --> 00:19:23.238
- King nebuchadnezzar's dream, he said, "king,
- 00:19:23.238 --> 00:19:27.042
- These thoughts came to your mind.
- 00:19:27.042 --> 00:19:29.344
- You had a dream and a vision that came
- 00:19:29.344 --> 00:19:31.847
- To you while you were lying on your bed."
- 00:19:31.847 --> 00:19:33.315
- So even the king was lying on his bed when he
- 00:19:33.315 --> 00:19:35.150
- Received the dream and vision from god.
- 00:19:35.150 --> 00:19:37.452
- And then he said this: "as these thoughts
- 00:19:37.452 --> 00:19:39.354
- Come to your mind," and that's when
- 00:19:39.354 --> 00:19:41.189
- Daniel interpreted the, you know,
- 00:19:41.189 --> 00:19:43.091
- The huge statue that proclaimed
- 00:19:43.091 --> 00:19:46.461
- The entire gentile-- the times of the gentiles.
- 00:19:46.461 --> 00:19:50.899
- We are still in that time.
- 00:19:50.899 --> 00:19:52.301
- It's a very interesting study, and one of these days
- 00:19:52.301 --> 00:19:54.503
- I think i'm gonna teach on that
- 00:19:54.503 --> 00:19:55.837
- Because we are definitely seeing the--
- 00:19:55.837 --> 00:19:57.806
- Coming to the end of it, the legs of that statue.
- 00:19:57.806 --> 00:20:01.009
- Now, that's what he interpreted to king nebuchadnezzar.
- 00:20:01.009 --> 00:20:06.515
- And king nebuchadnezzar knew that this is
- 00:20:06.515 --> 00:20:09.017
- From god, amen?
- 00:20:09.017 --> 00:20:10.919
- Now, how does god speak?
- 00:20:10.919 --> 00:20:12.254
- Many a times, what did god say to aaron
- 00:20:12.254 --> 00:20:15.424
- And miriam when they actually sort of, like,
- 00:20:15.424 --> 00:20:18.660
- Disdained moses at one time, especially miriam at that time.
- 00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:22.531
- Because he had married a woman at that time,
- 00:20:22.531 --> 00:20:25.300
- And she wasn't happy, and she's complained,
- 00:20:25.300 --> 00:20:28.370
- And god appeared, and god said this.
- 00:20:28.370 --> 00:20:30.772
- "hear now my words: if there is a prophet
- 00:20:30.772 --> 00:20:33.508
- Among you, i, the lord, make myself known to him
- 00:20:33.508 --> 00:20:37.112
- In a," what?
- 00:20:37.112 --> 00:20:38.447
- "in a vision; i speak to him in a dream."
- 00:20:38.447 --> 00:20:41.750
- You see, god does not think that visions and dreams
- 00:20:41.750 --> 00:20:45.587
- From him is something for us to dis-esteem, amen,
- 00:20:45.587 --> 00:20:48.757
- To discredit.
- 00:20:48.757 --> 00:20:50.359
- No, god wants us to know.
- 00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:51.993
- In fact, he emphatically tells us,
- 00:20:51.993 --> 00:20:54.663
- Amen, "if i'm speaking to a prophet,
- 00:20:54.663 --> 00:20:56.998
- It will be in visions and dream.
- 00:20:56.998 --> 00:20:59.768
- I'll communicate to him in vision and dream."
- 00:20:59.768 --> 00:21:02.204
- So now, what was isolated for that particular office
- 00:21:02.204 --> 00:21:07.442
- Is now our god-given inheritance, amen?
- 00:21:07.442 --> 00:21:10.479
- We can experience visions and dreams, amen.
- 00:21:10.479 --> 00:21:13.515
- Amen, daily, amen?
- 00:21:13.515 --> 00:21:15.517
- Daily even, yes, you'll be alert
- 00:21:15.517 --> 00:21:17.586
- When you pray for someone, pray and listen
- 00:21:17.586 --> 00:21:20.889
- To what god is saying.
- 00:21:20.889 --> 00:21:22.224
- When i say listen, it's not always a voice.
- 00:21:22.224 --> 00:21:24.292
- Yes, god can speak, amen.
- 00:21:24.292 --> 00:21:25.827
- Like peter, you know, when he was on the rooftop,
- 00:21:25.827 --> 00:21:27.896
- He heard the voice saying-- after he saw the vision,
- 00:21:27.896 --> 00:21:30.399
- And the voice says, "behold, three men seek after you.
- 00:21:30.399 --> 00:21:33.702
- Go down, doubting nothing, go with them, doubting nothing."
- 00:21:33.702 --> 00:21:37.105
- So, god can speak, yes, but many a times
- 00:21:37.105 --> 00:21:39.674
- His words come in a vision.
- 00:21:39.674 --> 00:21:41.309
- You're praying for someone and then you have
- 00:21:41.309 --> 00:21:42.778
- A vision, amen?
- 00:21:42.778 --> 00:21:44.112
- Speak it out, speak it out over the person.
- 00:21:44.112 --> 00:21:45.981
- Remember, all right, don't crush the person
- 00:21:45.981 --> 00:21:48.116
- By saying, "i see you having a disease
- 00:21:48.116 --> 00:21:49.885
- Come on your life, and then it's gonna
- 00:21:49.885 --> 00:21:52.154
- Cause you to be so discouraged," and you end there, amen?
- 00:21:52.154 --> 00:21:55.157
- I remember when i was having some oppression
- 00:21:55.157 --> 00:21:59.027
- Many years ago as a student and i went
- 00:21:59.027 --> 00:22:01.430
- To someone whom i esteem as someone
- 00:22:01.430 --> 00:22:03.198
- Who is spirit-filled, amen, a man of god,
- 00:22:03.198 --> 00:22:06.001
- And he prayed with me like this.
- 00:22:06.001 --> 00:22:07.335
- He says, "oh, the darkness, the darkness,"
- 00:22:07.335 --> 00:22:09.137
- As he laid his hand on my head, "the darkness.
- 00:22:09.137 --> 00:22:11.373
- I see a lot of darkness, and it's oppressing you."
- 00:22:11.373 --> 00:22:14.042
- "that's why i want you to pray for me, amen."
- 00:22:14.042 --> 00:22:16.278
- At that time, i was being oppressed
- 00:22:16.278 --> 00:22:17.779
- By the enemy because of the call
- 00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:19.381
- That i had in my life, but i didn't know
- 00:22:19.381 --> 00:22:20.949
- About the call, amen?
- 00:22:20.949 --> 00:22:22.651
- But, you know, he was praying
- 00:22:22.651 --> 00:22:24.753
- And then he was actually saying things like,
- 00:22:24.753 --> 00:22:27.155
- "it was so dark, it is very dark."
- 00:22:27.155 --> 00:22:28.590
- It was in a bookshop, i still remember,
- 00:22:28.590 --> 00:22:30.192
- And he said, "it is so heavy on you,"
- 00:22:30.192 --> 00:22:33.795
- And right after that, i still remember,
- 00:22:33.795 --> 00:22:36.064
- He stood up and he walked out.
- 00:22:36.064 --> 00:22:38.900
- Left me hanging, amen.
- 00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:41.636
- No, that's not a vision from god.
- 00:22:41.636 --> 00:22:44.239
- Then later on, a man called paul cain
- 00:22:44.239 --> 00:22:46.708
- In the indoor stadium, you know, called me out
- 00:22:46.708 --> 00:22:49.911
- And just prophesied right in my meal, amen.
- 00:22:49.911 --> 00:22:52.914
- In fact, one of the lines that he mentioned
- 00:22:52.914 --> 00:22:55.283
- More than once is, "i will come to visions.
- 00:22:55.283 --> 00:22:58.053
- I will come to visions."
- 00:22:58.053 --> 00:22:59.387
- I never realized it's gonna be a fulfillment
- 00:22:59.387 --> 00:23:01.823
- This year of that vision that all of us will walk in,
- 00:23:01.823 --> 00:23:05.160
- Amen?
- 00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:06.495
- Amen, so the lord is calling all of us,
- 00:23:06.495 --> 00:23:08.497
- Not just one pastor or a group of pastors
- 00:23:08.497 --> 00:23:11.199
- Or leaders to walk in it, or just the prophets,
- 00:23:11.199 --> 00:23:14.102
- But all of us, your sons and your daughters,
- 00:23:14.102 --> 00:23:17.606
- Your young men and your old men, hallelujah, amen.
- 00:23:17.606 --> 00:23:21.343
- Announcer: pastor joseph prince will return in a moment
- 00:23:22.978 --> 00:23:25.247
- With a special prayer to close today's program,
- 00:23:25.247 --> 00:23:27.315
- Right after this.
- 00:23:27.315 --> 00:23:29.017
- Announcer: inspired by today's message?
- 00:23:29.017 --> 00:23:31.052
- Make this year the year you talk to someone you love
- 00:23:31.052 --> 00:23:33.088
