Seeing: the first key to
Conquering
Joshua 1:2-5
“Now that my servant Moses is dead, you must
lead my people across the Jordan River into
the land I am giving them. 3 I promise you what
I promised Moses: ‘Everywhere you go, you
will be on land I have given you–4 from the
Negev Desert in the south to the Lebanon
mountains in the north, from the Euphrates
River on the east to the Mediterranean Sea* on
the west, and all the land of the Hittites.
Mark 10:46-52
46 And so they reached Jericho. Later, as Jesus
and his disciples left town, a great crowd was
following. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus
(son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the
road as Jesus was going by. 47 When
Bartimaeus heard that Jesus from Nazareth
was nearby, he began to shout out, “Jesus,
Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 “Be
quiet!” some of the people yelled at him. But
he only shouted louder, “Son of David, have
mercy on me!”
Mark 10:46-52 cont…
49 When Jesus heard him, he stopped and
said, “Tell him to come here.” So they called
the blind man. “Cheer up,” they said. “Come
on, he’s calling you!” 50 Bartimaeus threw
aside his coat, jumped up, and came to
Jesus. 51 “What do you want me to do for
you?” Jesus asked. “Teacher,” the blind man
said, “I want to see!” 52 And Jesus said
to him, “Go your way. Your faith has healed
you.” And instantly the blind man could see!
Then he followed Jesus down the road.*

Visioneering
Vision of Conquest
 “Where there is no vision,
the people perish”
-Proverbs 29:18
 Visions are born in the soul of a man or
woman who is consumed with the
tension between what is and what could
be. Anyone who is emotionally
involved---frustrated, brokenhearted,
maybe even angry---about the way
things are in light of the way they believe
things could be, is a candidate for a
vision. Visions form in the hearts of those
who are dissatisfied with the status quo.
 Vision often begins with the inability
to accept things the way they are.
Over time that dissatisfaction matures
into a clear picture of what could be.
But a vision is more than that. After
all, what could be is an idea, a dream,
but not necessarily a vision.
 There is always a moral element to
vision. Vision carries with it a sense of
conviction. Anyone with a vision will tell
you this is not merely something that
could be done. This is something that
should be done. This is something that
must happen. It is this element that
catapults men and women out of the
realm of passive concern and into
action. It is the moral element that
gives a vision a sense of urgency.
 Vision is a clear mental picture of
what could be, fueled by the
conviction that it should be. Vision
is a preferred future. A destination.
Vision always stands in contrast to
the world as it is. Vision demands
change. It implies movement.
 But a vision requires someone to
champion the cause. For a vision to
become a reality, someone must put
his or her neck on the line. Vision
requires visionaries, people who
have allowed their minds and hearts
to wander outside the artificial
boundaries imposed by the world as
it is. A vision requires an individual
who has the courage to act on an
idea.
Why do I need to Have a Vision?
 A sense of vision gives meaning and
significance to our lives.
 A sense of vision also helps us to develop
greater motivation. You see, a vision
serves as a source for starting and
sustaining a project
 A sense of vision also gives us
momentum or speed
 A sense of vision will result in cognitive
dissidence
Conquering Towards a Vision
1)See Your Vision Clearly.
“And the Lord answered me, and said,
Write the vision, and make it plain upon
tables, that he may run that readeth it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed
time, but at the end it shall speak, and
not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not
tarry.”
Habakkuk 2:2-3
“ 35 Say not ye, There are yet four
months, and then cometh
harvest? behold, I say unto you,
Lift up your eyes, and look on
the fields; for they are white
already to harvest.”
• -John 4:35
You act on the basis of what you
see. Your mind thinks in terms of
pictures. Your emotions are stirred
on what you see.
“If a man hasn’t discovered
something he will die for, he isn’t
fit to live.”
- Luther King, Jr.
