Open The Eyes of My Heart Lord

Title: Open The Eyes of My Heart Lord
Bible Text: 2 Kings 6:8-28

Glory be to God Almighty for another privilege to study His word. The title deals with something we all know is essential in our life looking at it from a literal understanding.

The eye is an essential part of the body, it's basically the light of the body, the one that sights and sends message to the brain. It's a part we need to guard and make sure it beholds good things. Even though at times it may see somethings not so good. Our eyes are very important to the body, those who lose or were born without sight can tell how much they will probably appreciate getting their sight. Our sight helps us with recognition of different things.

The same eyes from a spiritual view is still very important. As a spiritual being, we need to be spiritually active and not spiritually dormant. Many battles are fought on our behalf or against us spiritually but if we have an active spiritual sight we can easily understand it better.

In the Bible text, from verse 8 we can read about how the king of Syria planned against the king of Israel but God revealed the plans to Prophet Elisha. The king of syria became quite suspicious of his servants and called them to ask who exactly was the snitch among them. The servant let him understand that there was no snitch among them but prophet Elisha was revealing their movement to the king of Israel. Amos 3:7 "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." God wouldn't do a thing without revealing it to His prophet.

A true vessel of God commune with Him like a friend. There is always some kind of transparency. Even things that might not happen for the next decade He can choose to reveal it to His vessel. There is no exceptional power to attain this other than true relationship with God, obedience and having the Holy Spirit. God can use anybody as His vessel depending on how ready the vessel is.

In this case God was exposing the evil plans of the King of Syria to the King of Israel through Elisha. Then the king of Syria thought how come his plans get spoiled as he plans them. He decided to go and destroy the source of the revelation which was Elisha forgetting that Elisha's God is the indestructible one that can destroy all in split seconds. One thing about God is that if He wants to use anything as His vessel absolutely nothing can stop Him.

As they encamped against Elisha with chariots and horses. They didn't come during the day they probably thought the daylight will be beneficial to Elisha because he would be able to see and escape. They came at night, say "father every power waiting to set ambush against me at night physically or spiritually terminate their existence now in Jesus name". Night time doesn't necessarily mean when it's dark. It can easily be when you are old and meant to be resting and eating the fruit of your labour that is when enemy will rise like a flood but God almighty will raise standard against any enemy waiting to attack you at night.

Elisha's servant was panicking at the sight of the syrian chariots and hosts. But the type of eyes Elisha had doesn't just see the physical but the spiritual so he was not moved. He was walking and talking with confidence. "And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them." 2 Kings 6:16 KJV

The servant must have thought "hmmm! Prophet Elisha has started prophecying when we can vividly see the enemy and we have no one to help us". Elisha then went further to clear the curiosity of his servant and he prayed to God Almighty.

"And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord , I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.  And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord , and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.  And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.  And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Lord , open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria." 2 Kings 6:16‭-‬20 KJV

By the time God opened the eyes of Elisha's servant he saw the host of heaven that surrounded them that they were more than the host of Syria that were against them. Elisha then prayed again that God should smite the host of Syria with blindness so they became both physically and spiritually blind. Abba father is indeed Jehovah Nissi, instantly the host of Syria became blind.

There is power in your sight both physical and spiritual but there is divine power in your spiritual sight. Until some things are further explained or revealed to you spiritually you might spend long where you ought to just touch and go. Don't live a life of physical complacency, don't be comfortable being an ordinary being strive to be extraordinary.  Don't wait on prophets alone or pastors begin to ask God to fill your vessel up so that you may behold what He has in plan for you.

The earlier you discover your destiny spiritually the better you begin to live in order to fulfill destiny. Life isn't controlled only by physical movement the spiritual controls the physical.  Rise now above the level of not seeing beyond your physical sight, ask God to renew your being amd open your spiritual sense starting from your sight. It is then you can do greater works. It is them you can move at the speed He wants you to. When your spiritual antenna and insight is awake your thinking is beyond human comprehension, your confession is spiritually guided. I pray that every power causing spiritual dormancy God will terminate them now in Jesus name.
