Hello People of God,
This is an eye-opening season, and it brings me joy to write about what God has placed on my heart to say to you at this time and season. I sensed the Spirit of God helping me with each thought to write and eliminate all distractions; so I can get the most out of what He’s about to tell you. There have been rounds of attacks from the devil that have left you and many others fractured and disoriented.
I want you to know your situations are not always as bad as they look. How you look at life is so important to how you feel and exercise your faith.
Your situations can cause you to determine whether or not you will be in fear or in faith.
People of God, so many times just changing your perspective can be the key to the turnaround of what seems to be a bad situation. You must begin to look up again and put your hope and faith in The Lord and not in man. The bible says you must walk by faith and not by sight. The Spirit of God showed me that there is a sight you must cultivate to live in victory. It’s time to look at the Word of God by faith.
Rom 4:17-21
17. That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, "I have made you the father of many nations." This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.
18. Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, "That's how many descendants you will have!"
19. And Abraham's faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah's womb.
20. Abraham never wavered in believing God's promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this, he brought glory to God.
21. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. NLT
People of God what are you seeing in these tough times? How do you see yourself and others around you? How you look at things around you could change your faith action. Some situations around you may not be as bad as you think; it could be the way you are looking at it and the sight you are using. I know you may say, “What sight am I using?” I know this may sound strange, but The Lord is telling us to look at the situation with a different mindset; your spiritual eyesight must be cultivated to see through the eyes of Jesus.
2 Kings 6:14-17
14. So one night the king of Aram sent a great army with many chariots and horses to surround the city.
15. When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. "Oh, sir, what will we do now?" the young man cried to Elisha.
16. "Don't be afraid!" Elisha told him. "For there are more on our side than on theirs!"
17. Then Elisha prayed, "O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!" The Lord opened the young man's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire. NLT
We see here that the prophet Elisha prayed for his servant's sight, he was overwhelmed with what he saw. In this story, the servant saw the enemy’s army totally surrounding their camp and thought they (He and Elisha) would surely die. Now Elisha looked at the same situation as the servant did and saw the situation different and declared that there were more with him and the servant than there was with the enemy’s army. Elisha prayed for the servant's sight to be opened spiritually, he asked God to open his eyes and when God touched the servant's eyes through prayer he saw the host of angelic help available to bring victory to them.
God has taught me this; in order to live your life to the fullest, you must make use of three different eye sights which are available to every person. Did you know that you have 3 sets of eyes? Let me explain.
You have three eye sights natural, visual, and spiritual.
These eye sights enable you to see things in the natural world we live in, the spiritual world of God, and in an open vision. When we understand things through the wisdom eyes and perspective of God, He gives us an anointed eye mask.
People of God we have made it through some tough times, but we did not solely depend on what we saw with our natural eyes! When we are in our darkest times in the natural by the Spirit of God we see the light! When others around me see despair, I see opportunity! When others around you see lack you see an increase! People of God, you must learn to depend on the eyes of your understanding and the eyes of your spirit to navigate you through life’s pathway. Whatever is about to happen in your life let His spirit navigate you through this year.
Eph 1:17-18
17. asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.
18. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. NLT
