10 January 2021 - Hazon Vision is the Missing Element - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught us that hazon vision is the missing element in our lives. It is the reason why we haven’t experienced the fulfillment of what we are praying for. The image we see inside has to change first before we can experience the breakthrough outwardly. Praise and Worship songs performed: 1. Be Thou My Vision - Eleanor Henrietta 2. There’s Something About That Name - Bill Gaither 3. As He Is So Are We - New Creation Worship 4. See His Glory - Chris Bowater Proverbs 29:18a - People think that they are unhappy because they lack other things, but the missing thing is hazon vision. It is talking about a prophetic vision from the Lord. God is giving us hazon visions this year. The church is afraid of seeking visions because of the existence of false visions from false prophets, but God is restoring hazon visions to the church. “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint...” (Proverbs 29:18a NKJV) 1 Samuel 3:1 - Eli means “my God”. In the New Testament, the focus is on “Avi” which is “my Father”. This story is prophetic of the transition in our times from seeing God as distant, to close as a Father. Who are you when no one is looking? That is the fruit of the New Covenant Gospel working in you. “The child Samuel ministered to Yahweh before Eli. Yahweh’s word was precious in those days. There visions were not frequent.” (1 Samuel 3:1 WEB) Matthew 27:46 - Jesus called God “My God”, so that we can call God “My Abba, Father”. “About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”” (Matthew 27:46 WEB) Galatian 4:6 - We get to call God “Abba”. “And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”” (Galatians 4:6 WEB) Galatians 5:16 - Walking in the Spirit is also walking in vision, seeing what God is showing us on the inside. “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16 WEB) Acts 10:38 - Jesus is the pattern man for us. Even though He is God, He functioned as a Man anointed with the Holy Spirit. Every miracle that Jesus did was by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. “even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.” (Acts 10:38 WEB) John 5:3 - Whoever managed to get into the pool of Bethesda first when the angel stirred the pool would be healed. This denotes some strength needed from the men. This is a picture of receiving miracles from the Lord under the Law. However, Grace is attracted to our weaknesses, not our strengths. Although there were so many sick people at the pool, the Father sovereignly led Jesus to heal that one man who was crippled for 38 years. “In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;” (John 5:3 WEB) John 5:19-20 - The Father showed Jesus visions from inside. Jesus just operated based on what His Father showed Him. The Lord is going to show you greater things that you may marvel. Jesus did not presumptuously go everywhere randomly and heal everyone. He was led by His Father. Despite this, we know that God’s will is to heal everyone, from seeing scenes of the multitudes touching Jesus and all of them getting healed. It’s just that there is a right timing for everyone. “Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” (John 5:19-20 WEB) The world will get darker and darker, but the church of Jesus Christ will shine brighter and brighter. God is restoring relationships this year. If you think a person has been lost to you, God is restoring that person and relationship in Jesus’ name. Acts 2:1 - When the Law was given, 3000 people died at the foot of Mount Sinai. When Grace was given, 3000 souls were saved on the Day of Pentecost when Peter preached to the multitudes. This shows that the letter (the Ten Commandments) kills whereas the Spirit (Grace—the ministry of the Holy Spirit) gives life. “Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.” (Acts 2:1 WEB)
