A New Vision
“After these things Yahweh’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”” (Genesis 15:1 WEB)
When Abram was feeling afraid of a retaliation from the enemies he had just defeated, God showed him a vision of a shield.
When you have an inward vision of doom and gloom, God will work to replace the image you have inside.
It is so important to see godly visions about all the areas of your life.
Finances, marriage, children, health, family, ministry, business, job.
What inward images do these words trigger? If you are seeing a negative image, it shows that there is a vision which must be replaced.
Ask God to give you a fresh vision for that area. He may lead you to a Bible verse that contains an imagery to help you replace a vision of dread with a vision of confident hope.
The apostle Paul taught about the shield of “the” faith.
“above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench,” (Ephesians 6:16 YLT98)
Many English translations of the verse above omit the word “the” before the word “faith”. If you look at the original Greek, there is a “tēs” which means “the (referring to the definite article)”.
If you do a simple search of “the faith” in the New Testament, it almost always refers to the faith in Christ Jesus, which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ in its totality.
“But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.” (Acts 24:24 WEB)
When you believe that you are righteous and forgiven because Jesus died at the cross, was buried, and was raised to everlasting life on the third day, you will experience God as your shield.
You can enjoy divine protection when you are in faith. When you are fearful, you are in unbelief. However, thank God that we can have a new vision. What negative visions are you seeing in your heart? It’s time to get new ones in God’s word to replace them!
