4 power of visions
1. vision give us a purpose for living
if theres no vision, ppl perish

-not just a good idea but created in the realm of the Holy Spirit
2. vision provides a route map to guide our next step
-the star shows the wise man which direction
-visions guide our decisions, steps
-when we have a vision, we dont choose our decision, but its our vision.. making decisions based on vision

-our visions create our habits
3. a vision will come under attack
every vision will have distraction
