Acts 11:7
Prayer - fellowship with Spirit
Prayer - visions and dreams. Vision-see, feel, speak
1. Before men knock on your door, vision will knock on your mind!!!
Your legs can’t carry you further then your vision!!!
Vision is faith. It’s how you think, how you feel, how you speak!!!
When you do it for so long you don’t have to work on it.

2. That which is on the great sheet is already on it’s way to you!
God does not present something He is going to do, but something He has done!
When you get a vision you become pregnant. It’s real, through you don’t see it.
STORY: Lady who had throat cancer!!!
3. The vision is not just something you see, it’s something you eat!
It has to become your new reality.
Your vision should feed you, but first you will have to feed it.

2. You can’t give up on your vision.
People without vision perish and vision without people also will perish.
You need your vision, your vision needs you!!! Like a baby it can’t live without you!

Made by Edison, sold by Barnes.
"He stood there before me, looking like an ordinary tramp, but there was something in the expression of his face which conveyed the impression that he was determined to get what he had come after. I had learned, from years of experience with men, that when a man really DESIRES a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win. I gave him the opportunity he asked for, because I saw he had made up his mind to stand by until he succeeded. Subsequent events proved that no mistake was made."
