Seeing Beyond Your AnxietySample

Obedience is Key

If you want to see God speak through visions, explore the book of Acts! Here we see Luke, the author of this book, describes a journey in which the apostle Paul sees a vision from a man from Macedonia. Paul and the group conclude the vision is a call from God to reach a new area with the Good News about Jesus.

Obedience is a key response to hearing from God through visions. Whether it is Abraham, Peter, Paul, or us, obedience to a God-given vision always leads to glorifying God and His Son, Jesus.

This kind of obedience can be difficult, but it is the mark of a true Christ follower. Luke 6:46 says, “Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?” Jesus asked the crowds assembled around Him. If we believe Jesus is Lord and God is giving us a vision, we must, like Paul, conclude that our very next step should be obedience! What do you sense God calling you to right now? Are you ready to obey?

As you engage with God’s Word:

●What is God saying to me?

●What does it mean to me?

●How can I apply what God is teaching me?

●How can I be specific in prayer today?

After you reflect on these questions, bring everything to God in prayer.
