Opening our eyes

I will be writing a few posts about having our eyes opened and revelation. In that I will also discuss having our eyes closed, or being blind, and the consequences of that. So here are some introductory thoughts.

One of the things that excites and inspires people is getting new revelation. Seeing new things and having one of those “ah hah” moments where things become clear can be energizing. How many of us have been bogged down by something, but have then had something happen and our eyes are opened – we get a new hope, we see clearly, and we are able to take action.

Revelation is an exciting part of prayer; it opens up new vistas and new possibilities never seen before. This works in the one praying and also in those being prayed for, it is one of those things that God does so well.

2 Peter 1:3 & 4 tell us that we have been given all things that pertain to life and godliness, that we have been given great and exceeding promises, and that we are partakers of His divine nature.

This section of scripture that has so much in it, and when we can begin to get a glimpse of what He has given to us, we will be changed.

Let’s join together and look to the Lord to open our eyes and the eyes of all His people. Can you imagine how much hope and energy and inspiration could be unleashed if we, if all the people of God, start seeing and understanding who we are in Him and all that we have been given? We are not limited, we are not out on our own, we are not without vision and hope, for He truly has given us so much more than we realize.

Lord, open our eyes, give us revelation and understanding of what we already have in you, and let this be a new time of hope and inspiration and action because revival and enlightenment is coming forth in Your people.
