Vision
A vision is a manner in which God discloses His will, direction, or purpose. This prophetic disclosure may occur when the Holy Spirit speaks through dreams (Genesis 28:12), deep impressions upon the heart, mental pictures, supernatural opening of sight into the spiritual world (2 Kings 6:17; 2 Corinthians 12:2-4), or even by the audible voice of God (Genesis 15:1).
Vow-making Prayer
A vow intends to invoke a covenant with God in order to secure His blessing. In the Old Testament, a vow involved a verbal pledge toward God where one dedicated himself, his service, or something of worth to God. Biblical examples include: Jacob's vow to tithe (Genesis 28:20-22). The Nazarite vow (Numbers 6:1-8). Moses' commandments concerning vows (Numbers 30). Hannah's vow to give her son to God (1 Samuel 1:11-28). David's vow for God's House (Psalm 132:1-5).
