The Principle of Visualization
(Gen. 32:24~29)

As we live our lives, the principle of visualization is very important. This is because results differ depending on what we look at in the same situation. In the Bible, there are many stories that show people who lived successful lives through the principle of visualization. The main example of them is Abraham. Abraham became the ancestor of faith and the source of blessings through the principle of visualization. People who believe in God must look at all things with the eyes of faith no matter what kind of situations they face.

1. Abraham looking at the stars in the sky
1) Abraham was childless. God promised him descendents, but there was no answer for a long time. So Abraham tried to give his estate to Eliezer. (Gen. 15:2)
2) God took Abraham outside at night and said, “Look up at the heavens and count the stars?if indeed you can count them. So shall your offspring be.” (Gen. 15:4~5)

2. Jacob applying the principle of visualization
1) Jacob fled to his uncle, Laban’s house, because of the birthright fight. At that place, he married and had children. Also, he faced numerous hardships. (Gen. 31:7)
2) Jacob was able to gain many livestock by using the principle of visualization with the help of God. If we move forward with faith, God helps us. (Gen. 31:10~12)

3. Rule the environment with the principle of visualization
1) God gave blessings to Abraham through the principle of visualization. We can enjoy the fivefold gospel and threefold blessing by looking at the cross of Jesus. (Gal. 3:13~14)
2) We must rule our environment by looking at the cross of Jesus. (1 Cor. 1:18)

Conclusion
God is telling us today to lift up our heads and look to the cross of Jesus. Jesus took away our problems of sins, diseases, poverty, curses, and death by dying on the cross. Therefore, anyone who believes in Jesus and looks to the cross can dream of the fivefold gospel and threefold blessing. Only Jesus becomes our dreams and hopes.
