Eyes (B)right!

By -

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good your entire body will be full of light" (Mt 6:22)

Make this prayer today for your eyes—

O God, open my eyes! Without Your touch I was blind. The god of this age had blinded my eyes (2 Cor 4:4). Now I need Your second touch (Mk 8:25). There are yet scales to fall off my eyes (Acts 9:18).

Open my eyes that I may see wondrous things from Your Word (Psa 119:18). I want not pebbles but pearls. Help me find the treasures hidden to the natural eyes (Prov 2:4). Give me a telescopic vision to look beyond to understand Your prophecies for tomorrow. Give me a microscopic vision to search the depths of Your wisdom. Fit me with a wide angle lens to grasp Your whole counsel.

Lord, open my eyes to see the angelic hosts who encamp all around me (Psa 34:7). Many times I so depend and trust on material things like the servant of Prophet Elisha that I become blind to the supernatural protection and ministry of Your angels to me (2 Ki 6:17; 5:26). Help me to keep looking up and not get lost with the things of the world. Remove all heaviness from my eyes.

Open my eyes, O Lord, to comprehend Your riches. Let my eyes be enlightened that I may appreciate Your high calling, applaud the greatness of Your power and admire the riches of Your inheritance in the saints (Eph 1:17-21). May Your Holy Spirit continue to reveal to me the things You have prepared for me, which my natural eye cannot see (1 Cor 2:9,10). Let me never lose the excitement of sitting in the Heavenlies.

Open my eyes, Lord, to see the mission fields which are ready for harvest (Jn 4:35). Sometimes I am so occupied with the things around me that I fail to look beyond. Give me a pioneering vision. Help me see with a moving compassion the multitudes of people without someone to show them the Way (Mt 9:36). Let me never remove the missionary glasses You have given me for constant wear. Keep anointing me with Your eyesalve!

Lift up thine eyes, O watchman; the armies of the Lord
Are riding forth to conquest with buckler, shield, and sword;
Glad tidings unto Zion that valiant host shall bring,
And shout aloud, Hosanna! The Lord, the Lord is King!
                             (Fanny J. Crosby,1820-1915)

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches"  (Rev 3:13)  Precious Child, I want to bring you out of your apprehensions to witness for Christ. You are afraid that people might mock at you. Your throat chokes every time you want to open your mouth to share the Gospel. The fear of ridicule silences you. Don't feel bad about it, My child. This was the problem of the disciples of Jesus also even though they had walked with Him for over three years. Can you imagine how a key figure like Peter could ever deny and disown Christ? Their weakness overpowered their willingness. The problem was solved by My coming. That's why Jesus wouldn't let them go out until they got filled with My power (Acts 1:4). When I came upon them, the cowards became challengers! Be filled with Me. Don't consider your timidity or boast of your oratory skill. Depend on Me. I will grant you boldness in all situations to speak forth the message of the Cros...

Utter Confusion!

"They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.  But you keep your head in all situations" (2 Tim 4:4,5) I am an ardent fan of John the Baptist. There is no harm in admiring him because all who started as John's fans became Jesus' followers. A comparison of John with many Christian ministers of today makes me hang down my head in shame and sorrow.  John was filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb (Lk 1:15); but the modern prophets communicate with the spirits of men who have gone to the tomb.  The Word of God came to him (Lk 3:2); but many of their revelations contradict the written Word of God.  He was a desert-dweller, dead to the lust for popularity (Mt 3:1); but they are city-lovers, hunting for recognition and lusting limelight.  John was a voice from God (Jn 1 :23); but the modern preachers are an echo of someone of similar brand.  He did not seek pulpits but people sought him and...
