Good Morning Sunshine! Open Your Eyes And Look Again!

2 Kings 6:15-17 AMP ~ “The servant of the man of God got up early and went out, and behold, there was an army with horses and chariots encircling the city. Elisha’s servant said to him, “Oh no, my master! What are we to do?” [16] Elisha answered, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” [17] Then Elisha prayed and said, “LORD, please, open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the servants eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha.”

This should be your daily prayer request to God! Father, open my Eyed God, that I may see! Yesterday, I was going to meet up with a friend and earlier in the day, the fog was a concern. She went back and forth with she’s coming; she’s not coming because of the fog. And when she started out on her journey there seemed to be some fog and she turned around to go back home and I called her and said that it was more than me waiting for her, so she turned around again and when she looked again there was no fog coming or going. God had prevailed! And then when she made it home, she sent this message. “Sometimes it’s just an illusion. Look again!”

And this brought me to our scripture today! You may think something is there in your natural eyes but look again and watch what God will show you! It may look like the enemy has you surrounded, but your reinforcement has them and you surrounded and covered!

I love early morning pillow talk with the Lord. It’s like I just want to lay there and worship the Lord and feel His Presence surround me all day, it’s a place that I want to never ever leave. True intimacy with Him is what you need every single day. It’s relationship and not religion! It’s the best feeling ever and it amazes me how I can talk with Him about any and everything, He listens, and He speaks to me too!

Here is a word just for you. You get sight in the spiritual realm when you exercise faith in the physical realm! (you have to do a thing in order to be good at it, spending time in your Word is how you exercise and build your faith). Sometimes things have to get darker for you to recognize that God’s Hands are better than yours. Let’s go back to the first to the first line that you just read, did you hear the first thing you saw, say these words out loud to yourself again before you continue reading the devotional, “You get sight in your spiritual realm when you exercise your faith in the physical realm!” This means that the Holy Spirit will show you things that your naked eye can’t see, but you need faith to see and believe it is so!

So, do you have faith today? How can you see where you are? You go to the Word, Romans 10:17, “So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.” So, when you get sight in the spiritual realm it is because you heard the message of Jesus Christ in the natural and it fed your spirit! Now, can you see? Can you see things in the spiritual realm that God is showing that is going on in the natural realm? Get excited about listening to the Word of God and seeing the Word come alive!

Have you ever heard this or said it to someone, “I wish you could see what I see.” You are working on something and trying to explain what you see only to hear them say I can’t see it yet! This can be so frustrating, you see it and you need them to see it, but they can’t seed what you are looking at Yet! God gave me an epiphany right then, but did you catch that keys word “Not Yet!” This means that you just need to look again! They just need to look again! It’s in these moments when your relationship with God comes to life. What was trying to worry or disappoint you in the natural, God is saying to you, “If only you could see what I see! There’s more to it than how you see it right now! Open your eyes again and look, it’s going to work out in the end. Just trust Me. Get a Not Yet in your spirit today!

Yes, there was a battle getting ready to take place, all the evidence pointed to that, but God! All battles belong to God and when you have encountered and experienced a moment with God, you should always remember that He is able, He will not leave you nor forsake you! You just need to have faith! Elisha, servant got up early that morning, and he looked, he saw that they were surrounded by the enemy. And just like some of us, we panic at the first thing we see. The servant said “master, we are surrounded now what are we going to do? He panicked and was like, Master what are we going to do?” But God!  Elisha’s answer is everything, he said, “Don’t be afraid, for those who are with us far outweigh those that are with them. Then Elisha prayed for his servant’s eyes to be opened to see what he has just said! And when the servant looked again, he saw! Today I am praying for you, that God would open up your eyes and you will see what the Father is showing you, that you are surrounded by Him and His Covering and that nothing can harm you!

You must align yourself with God every day, and you will be victorious, even if it looks like you are surrounded the first time you look, close your eyes and pray and then look again. You are surrounded by God, His horses and Chariots! This is what happens when you are aligned with Him, you out number your enemy! God cares about you; every single detail of your life is important to Him. You don’t have to try to figure it out, God done already worked it out! Today, whatever battle seems to be in front of you, that you can actually see with your physical eyes, it’s time to operate in your faith and ask God to let you see in the spirit that He has you and that battle surrounded and you will not be defeated, you will be victorious in Jesus Name! God has already given us everything we need to fight and win. You are surrounded by the Lord and His army always outnumbers the enemy!!!

What and how you see makes all the difference in the world. God is always working behind the scenes on your behalf. Today, say bye-bye fear, depression, worry and doubt! Now look again in faith and see what your eyes see now! Do you see what God sees? The Word of God should be more real to you than anything with our natural eyes! When you feel like you are surrounded by the enemy, see yourself with your regular vision and then with your faith vision (it’s like you have two pairs of glasses, one for inside and for outside and you have to switch them based on where you are at.) So, when it looks like you are surrounded, put on your faith vision, and see what God sees, see that His process and plan works! There is more to it than you see, look again!

Let’s Pray:
Father, thank You for Your faithfulness. I believe that You are working behind the scenes even when I can’t see it. Father m, I offer You my worship and praise today. Father, teach me and show me how to see what You see. Father help me to live and see today with spiritual eyes. Help me to be on guard with all of my armor and Your Word today, teach me how to extinguish the enemy word with Your Word. Father, help me to walk in holiness and purity and obedience to You in the power of You Spirit as I proclaim Your gospel. Father, I choose to keep believing, I choose to look again until I see every promise fulfilled, God, I desire to trust You with all of my heart. Help me to rest in knowing that You are working on everything on my behalf in spite of how my situation looks to me. I will look again and be victorious. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Blessings…
