For you to receive vision from God, you must become familiar with the purpose and power of meditation. Meditation is the doorway to vision. Meditation in God’s Word is the incubator of vision and dreams.
Genesis 24:63 tells us:
And Isaac went out to MEDITATE in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and SAW, and, behold, the camels were coming.
From the natural story of Isaac, looking up to see his fiancee in the caravan coming to him, we see that meditation produces vision. Isaac had a time and place where he would go to seek God and prayerfully meditate. Meditation for gaining vision involves these two major things:
1. THE WORD OF GOD
2. A PRAYERFUL, CONTEMPLATIVE ATTITUDE
You can’t catch fish in the ocean or in a lake by racing your hook across the top of the water. You must drop it deep into the water and quietly wait for the fish to take the bait. If you’re going to receive vision from God, you must allow your mind the time and place to seek the Lord and listen for His leading.
