Do you know that long before you see your outward circumstances change, God wants to first change the pictures you see in your heart? Whenever God wants to do something good in your life, He first gives you hazon vision—His faith-building, prophetic vision, because what you see in your heart is what you will see manifest in your life.

You have to let the word of God paint a picture of victory inside of you. You have to dream with God.

Genesis 30:27-33,35-43 MSG

[27-28] Laban said, "If you please, I have learned through divine inquiry that GOD has blessed me because of you." He went on, "So name your wages. I'll pay you." [29-30] Jacob replied, "You know well what my work has meant to you and how your livestock has flourished under my care. The little you had when I arrived has increased greatly; everything I did resulted in blessings for you. Isn't it about time that I do something for my own family?" [31-33] "So, what should I pay you?" Jacob said, "You don't have to pay me a thing. But how about this? I will go back to pasture and care for your flocks. Go through your entire flock today and take out every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, every spotted or speckled goat. They will be my wages. That way you can check on my honesty when you assess my wages. If you find any goat that's not speckled or spotted or a sheep that's not black, you will know that I stole it." [35-36] But that very day Laban removed all the mottled and spotted billy goats and all the speckled and spotted nanny goats, every animal that had even a touch of white on it plus all the black sheep and placed them under the care of his sons. Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob. Meanwhile Jacob went on tending what was left of Laban's flock. [37-42] But Jacob got fresh branches from poplar, almond, and plane trees and peeled the bark, leaving white stripes on them. He stuck the peeled branches in front of the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. When the flocks were in heat, they came to drink and mated in front of the streaked branches. Then they gave birth to young that were streaked or spotted or speckled. Jacob placed the ewes before the dark-colored animals of Laban. That way he got distinctive flocks for himself which he didn't mix with Laban's flocks. And when the sturdier animals were mating, Jacob placed branches at the troughs in view of the animals so that they mated in front of the branches. But he wouldn't set up the branches before the feebler animals. That way the feeble animals went to Laban and the sturdy ones to Jacob. [43] The man got richer and richer, acquiring huge flocks, lots and lots of servants, not to mention camels and donkeys.

In front of the branches

The Key for Jacob in this story is he had the animals mate in view of the branches. It’s a miracle without question since this bypasses the laws of science. That’s the definition of a miracle, the suspension of natural laws. What the flocks saw, they produced.

What you see in your heart is what your life is producing. Are you seeing hopelessness and despair? Poverty and darkness? Fear and rejection?

Proverbs 23:7 TPT

[7] For as he thinks within himself, so is he…

What are you thinking within yourself? What are you meditating on? Whatever you think about, creates your future. You are :

who you have been meditating on.

Can you see:

-the goodness of the Lord chase you down in the land of the living (Psalm 23)

-The Lord delighting in the prosperity of his servants

-The Lord filling you with peace according to psalm 23, Isaiah 55, 61

-The Lord anointing you with power (acts 2, Ephesians )

-The Lord causing you to reign in life with the gift of righteousness (Romans 6)

What do you wish to see? Dream with God and see the pro-vision of God.
