Acts 14:14-28
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human, like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them. 16 In the past, he let all nations go their own way. 17 Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.” 18 Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.
19 Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
The Return to Antioch in Syria
21 They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders[a] for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust. 24 After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia, 25 and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed. 27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.

Supplied Life Devotional by Bill Freeman
"By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible." Hebrews 11:27
This verse clearly reveals that Moses was under a controlling vision. It was that vision and sight that enabled him to break the hold that the world had upon him. Oftentimes we struggle with sin, the world, the flesh, and the devil. We become depressed over ourselves. We read books on how to be delivered and how to overcome. The answers we seek, or the ones presented to us by various ministries, are many times like band- aids that only give superficial help. What we really need is one big healing dose of vision that will infuse us with power to experience the Lord in our lives. We need to have our eyes opened to see why God made us, and what our purpose is on the earth! Paul applied this principle of vision to the Corinthians in dealing with their fornication. In 1 Corinthians 6:19 he says, "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?" In other words, he is saying, "Don't you know? Don't you have vision concerning yourself? Haven't you seen who you really are? Instead of wasting your life in fornication, consider the revelation God gives concerning your body-- Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit."
Paul's way of handling this problem was not merely to apply a band- aid to it or to condemn the behavior in itself. He wanted to bring the believers up to a higher level of living. Rather than superficially dealing with the problem, he wanted them to have vision about their bodies. He knew that vision would not only cause them to break the chains of an immoral life, but it would lift them to a new plateau of Christian life. Vision makes a difference in how we relate to sin, the flesh, and the world. In effect, vision controls us
