Hazon” comes from the same etymology as “chazah.” Amen. “Hazon” is the noun, “chazah” is the verb. Amen. The “hazon” which Isaiah “chazah”, which he saw. Amen. I want to share more on that because if you look at the definition in the Strong’s for the word “chazah”, it is this. It says: “to see, perceive, look, behold, prophesy.
” So in other words, it’s prophetic seeing. “Provide.” This is interesting. “To see as a seer.” So notice the word “provide” is in the word “see.” “See, perceive, look, behold” are probably all the same meaning. And said in different forms. Right? But it’s also the word “provide.” Can you see the word “provide” there? Now, it seems to stand out by itself. “Provide.
” So in other words, in your vision from God is the provision. Amen. If you look at Exodus 18. Here it says in Exodus 18: “Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men,” This word “provide” is the word “chazah.” “Chazah.” “Moreover thou shalt provide.” In the Young’s literal translation: “Thou dost provide.
” “Provide” is the word “chazah.” Amen. So to see, like today in our English vernacular, we will say things like: “I need to buy something.” I say: “Don’t worry about it. I’ll see to it.” What does that mean? “I’ll see to it.” “I’ll provide for you and I’ll make sure it happens.” Amen. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll see to it.
” So when the Lord sees to it, actually “seeing” there is “provide.” So to see is to be provided for. Amen. Your provision is in the vision. In the vision that God gives you. So when we look at this, word “chazah” or “provision”, God has a principle there for us to understand. That whatever he shows you, the provision is in the vision.
Just like the English word “pro-vision.” Notice the word “pro” is there for the “vision.” It is to provide for the vision. Amen. Let’s look at the life of Abraham, our father Abraham, and let’s see the principle of how God taught him to see before he can possess it. Let’s go to Genesis 15 now. Now Abraham was about 84 years old.
“And after these things, the word of the Lord” “came unto Abram in a vision, saying: ‘Fear not, Abram:’” “‘I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward.’” So “The word of the Lord” “came unto Abraham in a vision, saying: ‘Fear not, Abram:’” “‘I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward.’” And I believe he had a vision of the “magen.” Amen.
In Hebrew, “magen” means “shield.” A shield coming to him, and God says: “I’m your defender. I’m your protector.” “And only that, I’m your exceeding great reward.” The word “reward” in the Hebrew, literally, is what they use for “salary.” “I am your exceeding great remuneration.” Amen. “I am your exceeding great remuneration.
” Not the conditions of your country. Not your boss. Amen. Not the place where you’re working at. Not the conditions of the economy in the world. That’s why to have Jesus is to have everything. It reminds me of the time when Jacob met his brother after many years. He met Esau and he actually said this. Esau asked him: “What are all these sheep and goats” “that you bring along with you in front of me here?” “Oh, this my brother, they are gifts for you.
” And then Esau said this: “You know what? Keep it for yourself.” “I have a lot.” “I have a lot.” Literally the word “rab.” “I have an abundance.” He told his brother Jacob. Jacob says: “No, please take it, my brother. I want you to have it.” Then he said this: “God has been gracious to me.” “And I have everything.
” Beautiful! The word “kol” in Hebrew. “Kol.” “I have everything.” His brother (Esau) has plenty. He (Jacob) has everything. Amen. The greatest, richest billionaire in the world today has plenty, but you, child of God, you have everything. You need eyes to see that! Amen. You have more going for you than even the richest people without Christ.
Praise the Lord. Amen. Inside as well! You are free from depression. You are poised. You are calm. You are not perturbed by the troubles of life because you have the shalom peace that garrisons your heart and mind. Hallelujah. You have Jesus. And to have Jesus is everything. Praise the Lord. And even if you need finances: “My God shall supply” “all your needs according to His riches in glory.” Amen.
Not according to the conditions of the economy, but according to His riches in glory. Amen. That’s how He supplies. You know, my friend, He didn’t even say He would supply “out of” but “according to.” Wow. “According to” is more than “out of.” “Out of” is a portion of His riches but “according to” means all His riches! Amen.
