The following series of questions can be used to help those you are
counseling who seem unable to see vision. These questions will help discern
the cause of their inability to see, and help them begin receiving.
Start by establishing if they can “see” at all.
Ask,
“Can you picture your living room couch?”
If
they answer yes, go on to “B” below.
If
they answer no, help them discover why they have cut off the visionary
capacity. Generally people have done so for one of two reasons: 1) to
avoid the sin of lust, or 2) to cut off an unpleasant reoccurring visual
scene. If they have done either of these, they will need to repent for
rejecting and ignoring their visual ability, and pray for God to heal and
restore it. Prayer counseling ministry must follow, to heal the issue(s)
that led to this decision. Ask: “Was there ever a time in your life that
you were able to see visions? If so, at what point did you cut it off?
Why?” Pray: “Holy Spirit, please show us any event or any reason
this person has cut off the visionary capacity in their life.” Tune to
flowing thoughts, and respond to what you are receiving by applying the
appropriate prayer ministry (e.g., repentance, inner healing, deliverance,
renouncing of ungodly vows to no longer see).
If an individual can see his or her living room
couch, then go on to the following:
Ask: “Can you picture Bible scenes?” If so, encourage them to do so
each time they meditate on the Word. This is a way of strengthening the eyes
of your heart.
Ask: “Can you see Jesus in the biblical scenes?” If not, then pray and
find out why they have cut off vision of Jesus. This is usually because of
teaching by the Church that it is wrong to visualize Jesus because it is a
graven image. Have them repent and state the opposite, which is that the
Bible teaches that we are to fix our eyes upon Jesus, the Author and
Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1,2).
