Summary
The ability to persevere and overcome has a great deal to do with our vision and how we interpret what we see. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual vision, why we need it, and what we can do to cultivate it. We have five physical senses, and spiritual vision is another "sense" the Holy Spirit can help us develop. By opening our hearts to new things from the Lord, we can learn to see and understand Him better, which will help us trust and follow Him in new ways.
