Lord Open Their Eyes
Beloved,
Just to remind you from Sunday’s messages: “Lord, open their eyes that they may see.”
Also the words of Christ:
“The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?
Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.
If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
— John 3:8–12
Heavenly Things
We should all ask the Lord to help us see, hear, and be in touch with heavenly things, God’s Spirit — to keep our faith alive, grounded, and real.
He is not confined to the pages of a Bible. He is the living God.
He says this in John 5:39, which has stayed with me these past 12 years. It was etched into my spirit:
“You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.]
We all need the power to live Holy, sanctified lives.
We need to know that the Lord is with us every day, not in word alone, but in Spirit.
Let us all pray:
“Then Elisha prayed, ‘Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.’ Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha
— 2 Kings 6:17
Beloved, may the Lord grant you, according to your everyday hunger, the desires of the new heart He has put within you.
Reach out more in this season by getting on your knees, or on your face, more in the secret place of prayer, thanksgiving, and praise, that we may become people who carry His presence and power because of a great love to walk with Him.
And now, as the Lord lives, may He grant us everlasting peace, strength, wisdom, discernment, and hearts that burn for Him daily. Bless the Lord.
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
And one cried to another and said:
‘Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!’”
— Isaiah 6:1–3
