In a recent message, Mike Thompson encourages believers to expand their faith and vision as doors of opportunity are opening in this season. Thompson shares that God is inviting His people to break free from limiting thoughts and embrace the supernatural potential available through Christ. It’s not just about hard work, but about recognizing the power of God’s anointing to bring increase.
Thompson begins by recounting a powerful vision he received of a soldier from biblical times standing on his land. The soldier took aim with his bow and shot an arrow, representing the extent to which God wanted to bless him. This image serves as a reminder that, through obedience, believers can increase their territory and enjoy God’s rewards in their lives.

This spiritual encouragement is meant to help believers understand the gravity of what it means to hold onto the passions, dreams and visions God has given them. Just as past memories hold power to influence emotions, thoughts and actions, future memories can drive believers toward their destiny. For instance, the apostle Paul, in Acts 26:19, said, “I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,” showing that memories of God’s promises shape actions and outcomes.
“You are the Lion’s Army,” Thompson says. “You have done great warfare against the enemy to tear down all of the strongholds. The Lord wants to reward you in this season.”
The power of this prophetic imagination is transformative. God’s Word paints vivid pictures of prosperity, health and success—promises that believers can hold onto in faith. When God speaks through Scripture or gives personal visions, these images must be cherished and revisited in prayer, confession and meditation. This helps create a strong sense of direction and authority, making the vision a living, active force in the believer’s life.
To make these heavenly visions a reality, Thompson presents four questions for reflection:
- Can you see yourself prosperous and successful?
- How do you stay connected to the memory of that vision?
- What can you do today to move toward its manifestation?
- How can you protect the vision from the enemy’s attempts to steal it?
Thompson stresses that the key to prosperity is not in self-effort but in God’s anointing. He warns against the temptation of trying to manipulate God’s promises through fleshly efforts, using the example of Abraham and Sarah, who initially created an “Ishmael” by taking matters into their own hands, instead of waiting for God’s perfect timing.
As you step into this season of divine opportunity, remember that God has already placed a vision for success and prosperity within you. The key is to see it, believe it and walk in faith toward it. By meditating on His promises, declaring His Word and taking Spirit-led action, you align yourself with the heavenly vision He has given you. Don’t let fear, doubt or the enemy’s tactics steal what God has shown you. Instead, embrace the power of prophetic memory, trust in His perfect timing and move forward with boldness.
Your future is waiting—step into it with faith and authority!
