See And Hear

SEE AND HEAR< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Jeremiah 1, Acts 22:1-13

 

Paul the apostle, a devoted persecutor of the follower of Jesus Christ, became a giant in the hand of God. Saul, before becoming Paul was on his way to Damascus to go and carry out business (persecution) as usual. Paul was marching on with his persecuting agents when Jesus appeared to them and introduced Himself. Paul testified in Acts 22:9, ÒAnd those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me. 10 So I said, ÒWhat shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, ÔArise and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.ÕÓ Paul saw and he heard before he could receive direction into his divine appointment. Could it be that you have seen and not heard or you have heard and not seen? There is a need to see and hear before gaining the direction of entering your divine appointment. The word that you receive and do not see will not enter into you. Also the word that you hear and not see will miss you. Faith demands that when you hear the word of God and you begin to see it as being there when it is not there, it will come to be. PaulÕs entourage saw and they allowed fear to take what they saw and the possibility of hearing was not in place. When the Lord touched Jeremiah, it was with purpose for him to be able to hear what the Lord was having for him. The Lord put His words in JeremiahÕs mouth and said to him, ÒSee, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.Ó (Jeremiah 1:10) God told Jeremiah to see it when it was yet to be there. Seeing is believing and believing is becoming. When you begin to see your breakthrough, as being there when is yet to be there, it will come to be. Have you received a prophecy of favor lately? If you have received any, begin to see it and seal it with prayer and it will come to pass. Paul saw and heard, the story of his life, and was changed forever because in his seeing and hearing, his divine appointment was packaged. Be awake and alive in this journey of life.
