Open Our Eyes
Ephesians 1.16-20, Isaiah 42.7, 60.1-3, 61.1-3, Luke 4.16-19, 2 Corinthians 4.1-4, Psalm 146.8
It’s imperative that we see what God sees. See what God is doing so we can take hold of it.
What if everything happening in the world is so that God can fulfill His plan?
We’re all looking for glory to come and God says it’s already here. The glory is Jesus. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of Jesus.
All sickness, disease, trouble, slavery, and bondage is because we are blind to what He has done for us. He came to open our eyes.
We get distracted and discouraged when we can’t see. The enemy has blinded our minds. The only thing that will change it is when the people of God will shine the light on it.
If we’re blind, where are we going? Blind people look for anything to help them survive. Blindness puts us in a beggar situation. We’re blind and don’t know it.
Blindness: destitute of seeing, not able to discern, unable to understand, ignorant, in a place of darkness, to be obscure, inconsiderate, moral depravity
How can we change?
-Matthew 20.31-33 Ask God to see and believe God to open your eyes
-Mark 8.22-26 Why did he see men as trees? A Hebrew sees through creation. Trees make branches and flowers and fruit. Men have the ability to cover like branches, to bring warmth of a fire, to provide nourishment like fruit, to provide beauty like flowers. If you want to see what Jesus sees, you’ve got to walk with Him.
-John 9.1-6 When your eyes are filled with the world, it’s harder to see God. We’ve got to sell ourselves fully into the plan of God.
Don’t look back and get cues from the past. Follow God forward from here.
In Revelation, Jesus’ last words to the church are about being blind. Do we come to church and worship in utter darkness?
God wants to open our eyes.
