Visions Can Warn of Danger

Visions can help you. The Lord can let you know that something dangerous is about to happen. The Lord doesn't have to warn you about these things in visions, but that is His normal way of getting these things across to His children.

Remember, the Lord spoke to Paul in a night vision and told him not to be afraid to preach the Gospel in a pagan city. He assured him that no one would set upon him to do him harm. (Acts 18:9, 10.)

Now why would the Lord speak to Paul in a vision at that particular time in his life? Well, because he was in great danger. I'll tell you, the Spirit of God lets you know if you're in danger. And many times, He'll let you know by a vision.

Of course, God's best way and everyday way to lead people is by the inward witness. But you just can't nullify visions, because the New Testament is full of examples of God sending visions to His people. He's still doing it. But to benefit from them, you've got to know how visions operate. You've got to know what the Holy Ghost is trying to say to you.

We have said that a vision is a scene that God wants you to see. God wants you to see it because He loves you and He wants you to be aware of things spiritually. If you don't do anything with what the Lord shows you, it's not God's fault. He showed it to you. But there is a way you can do something about it, if you know what the Bible says.

As we saw before, Jesus said that whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven. (Matt. 18:18.) So if it's a work of hell trying to come against you, if it's a demon operating and trying to cause you harm, the Holy Ghost can show you what to do about it. You can bind it up, in Jesus' name. You can come face to face with that evil thing, expose it and put an end to it. Learn this: If you let a demon run rampant for very long, it will drive you up the wall. You need to face that demon, whatever it may be. You need to confront that thing as quick as you can and get rid of it.

It Was Dangerous To Preach Jesus to the Gentiles

So why did the Lord speak to Paul in a night vision? Because Paul was in danger. In this particular scripture, Paul had just angered the Jews by preaching to them that Jesus is the Christ.

Leaving the Jews, Paul went over and began preaching to the Gentiles. Now that was dangerous in Paul's day. Even telling a Jew that Jesus is the Christ was dangerous. But for a Jew to go over and start preaching to Gentiles, walking with them, fellowshipping with them, eating with them—that was even more dangerous. That was death work. Paul could have gotten killed real easy.
