Dharius Daniels - Dreamers, You Have Vision

This is why some people don’t even understand the enthusiasm of your praise. They are aware of some of the adversity you are experiencing, and they are confused about how you can be so exuberant and enthusiastic while suffering through trials and tribulations and ups and downs. However, they don’t realize that I see something they don’t see. I see exceedingly and abundantly above all they could ask or think. Are there any dreamers in this building? Okay, let me hear how big your dream is by how loud your scream is. Any dreamers in the building? Yeah, yeah! You see, for those who do not understand these people’s enthusiasm, dreamers are individuals who see something, watch this, not with the eyes in their heads but with the eyes in their hearts. The eyes in your head give you sight, but the eyes in your heart give you vision. The eyes in your head help you see today, but the eyes in your heart help you see tomorrow. The eyes in your head help you see to the corner, but the eyes in your heart help you see around the corner. The eyes in your head help you see to the hill, but the eyes in your heart help you see over the hills. The eyes in your head let you see your present predicament, but the eyes in your heart help you see your future possibilities. People without vision do not understand the activity of people with vision because their assessments of your activity are based on what they see. They don’t realize that they are looking through the eyes in their heads, while you are looking through the eyes of your heart. This is why some people don’t even understand the enthusiasm of your praise. They are aware of some of the adversity you are experiencing, and they are confused about how you can be so exuberant and enthusiastic while suffering through trials and tribulations and ups and downs. However, they don’t realize that I see something they don’t see. I see exceedingly and abundantly above all they could ask or think. I see that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. I see if I sow in tears, I’m going to reap in joy. I see He will take what the enemy meant for evil and turn it around for my good. I’ve got vision, vision, vision! Vision is a picture of a preferred future, and one of the greatest gifts God can give you after conversion is the gift of clarity. Did you hear what I just said? I said clarity affects everything. While we are fervently and passionately praying for clothes, cars, and homes, please don’t forget to put something else at the top of that list: you need to put clarity at the top of that list. Come on, come on, come on! Dr. Miles Monroe says this: «Hey, watch this! The poorest person in the world is not someone who doesn’t have any money; the poorest person in the world is someone who doesn’t have any vision.» He says people without vision for their future always end up going back to their past. I don’t have time; maybe this is for the 12 o’clock service, but I’m going to just give it to y’all too. People who don’t have a vision for their next steps keep running back to their exes. Is that all right for the 10? I know that’s for the 12, but are y’all good with that? We need clarity. Without clarity, we will climb the ladder of success and then get to the top only to realize we’ve leaned it against the wrong wall. I spent my whole life building something that doesn’t even matter to me. I spent my whole life doing something that impressed people but left me empty and void of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. The highest form of compensation is not finances; the highest form of compensation is fulfillment. If all you want is some money, your standards are too low. If all you want is money, you’re on a bed but can’t sleep. You want a house that’s not a home. You want clothes but still have low self-esteem. If all you want is some money, your standards are too low, and a person who has finances but does not have fulfillment is someone who will always feel poor. But God has taken fulfillment and hidden it in clarity. He says, «I put this here, and you will gain this insight no other way.» Did you hear what I just said? This is why confusion is an act of war; it’s an expression of spiritual warfare. If God wants me clear, then the enemy of God and the things of God wants me confused. The Bible puts it very plainly: God is not, where my Bible reads. Come on, that’s why we need my masterclass. God is not the author of confusion. If God is not the author or the originator of confusion, then who is? Did you hear what I just said? See, if the enemy can’t get you to be corrupt, his next step is to try to get you to be confused. If he can’t get you to do the wrong things, his next step is to get you to do things that are wrong for you because he knows you can’t accomplish your assignment on your street if you’re on everybody else’s! Is this all right this morning? Anyway, he wants us confused, and this is one of the reasons he wants us confused. He’s not anti your vision; he’s anti-God’s. But he knows that some of the visions you have and some of the dreams you possess aren’t yours—you’re stewarding them, but they’re not yours; they are in your heart.
