Eyes to See and Ears to Hear

Have you been praying and seeking God for a greater ability to hear His voice and see in the spirit realm? If so, this is a desire of the heart that the Lord is gladly satisfying in this critical hour. We find one of the keys to our prayer in scripture:

Matt.13:13-15 - "Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
'You will keep on hearing, but will not understand; and you will keep on seeing, but will not perceive. For the heart of this people has become dull.....'"

"Perceive" - to become aware of through the senses

Nugget of Gold: Pray for the Lord to increase your awareness of what you're seeing - for help focusing on and recognizing that which He is showing you. Pray for the Lord to increase your ability to separate His voice from all the other voices you hear ("My sheep hear My voice" - John 10:27). Then, ask Him for increased understanding of what you hear Him speak. Pray for your heart to be awakened to Him as in Song of Songs 5:2.

This is a time when we must know the voice of our Bridegroom and see what He desires us to see - not only in the natural realm, but IN THE SPIRIT! Thus, we need our spiritual senses awakened and trained to discern.

Heb. 5:14 - "But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses (spiritual) trained to discern good and evil."
