Hallelujah. Are you ready for the word of God? Amen. Amen. Well, we're going to pick up where we left off last week. And we've been talking about this pathway to increase. Specifically, we've been talking about this area of seeing. Seeing beyond what you can see in this natural realm. And we're looking at things from God's perspective. Seeing from the heart of God through the word of God. that you and I begin to look at it from God's perspective. Remember in Matthew chapter 13, here was a group of people whose heart has grown dull, their ears of heart of hearing. Their eyes they have closed lest at any time they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears and understand with their heart. He said they should be converted and I should heal them. So here's a people whose heart was hard and as a result of having this dull heart they couldn't see or couldn't hear. But he said the moment you can see the moment you can hear it changes your heart. And so God has been we've been talking over the last three weeks on just this ability to see. I believe this is very key and important for our lives as believers that you and I begin to see like God sees and see ourselves through the word of God. see your circumstances through God's word and not being moved by what you can just see in the natural. And we already talked about is seeing with this open heart, having an open mind to hear what God has to say and begin to see what God is saying to us. So don't close your eyes to what God is showing you. Open your eyes so you can see. Hallelujah. And so seeing is having again God's perspective on things. is a perspective that comes from the word of God. His word becomes the lens through which I see life through. I'm beginning to see like God would have us to see. If you would turn your Bible with me to Second Kings chapter 2 is a great illustration of the story of Elijah and Elisha. I love this story um concerning their lives. Elijah is following after Elijah. And we pick up in 2 Kings chapter 2 where Elijah is following after Elijah. He goes from Gilgal to Bethl, from Bethl to Jericho, from Jericho, crossing over to Jordan. And there's a span of scholars say 20some years that have passed by. And now Elijah knows that the Lord is about to take him up into heaven by a whirlwind. And so they're walking together and he says to Elijah, "What is it that you want from me?" Look at verse 9. And as they crossed over, Elijah said, "Ask what I may do for you before I am taken away from you." And Elijah says, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." Hallelujah. He's no crazy man. He says, "What do you want?" He said, "I want a double. I want what you got. I want double the portion on my life." And so Elijah said, "You have asked a hard thing." Somebody say, "Hard thing." He says, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you. But if not, it shall not be so. Again, he says you ask him a you're asking a hard thing. And it was a hard thing because he said if you could see it, you could have it. And the problem is being able to see it. Now, he wasn't just saying see him. Obviously, he saw Elijah do a great and mighty things, great miracles. And that was the reason for him wanting the double portion on his life. I've seen you raise the dead. I've seen you feed multitude. I've seen you do these great things. I want double that on my life. And Elijah said, "Okay, you saw me do some stuff, but there's a greater depth of seeing than what you've been seeing. And if you could see it, you can have it." And he said it was a hard thing. He said, "Because you have to see eye to eye." You know, you got to see like I see. You got to do like I do. You got to walk like I walk. You got to talk like I talk. You got to hear from God like I hear from God. You got to see eye to eye. And he said, "Now, if you could see it, you can have it." You know, we see a lot of different things on a lot of different people. We may see people walking in a special anointing or we may see something that they have in the natural. And you could want it. You could coveret with somebody else's want, what somebody else's have. But the thing is, you don't want to do what they did to get what they got. And so he said, "It wasn't easy as you just seeing it on me. You got to do like I do if you want this thing. You got to see like I see, walk like I walk, talk like I talk, do like I do, and you can have it." Verse 11 says, "And then it happened." Woo! Glory to God. Hallelujah. Elijah began to see something other than what he was seeing in the natural. He said, "Then it happened as they continued to talk. Then suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire and separated the two of them. And Elijah went up in a whirlwind into heaven. And Elijah saw it. And he cried out, "My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen." So he saw him no more, and he took a hold of his own clothes, and he tore them into pieces, two pieces, and he also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and he went back and stood by the bank of Jordan. Now, here's this picture. Elijah said, "If you see me when I'm taken up, you can have the what you asked for, a double portion of the anointing of God on my life." And the Bible said Elijah saw it. He said, 'I see it, the chariots of Israel, the horsemen. And he and he sees Elijah's mantle falling off of that chariot. And the first thing he does, the King James version said he tears his mantle up and he runs to grab hold of Elijah's mantle. Now remember last week we talked about blind Barameus. Hallelujah. and how we need to cry out like blind Barnameus for the anointing to be able to see. And the one thing that we saw in Barnameus faith was that when Jesus called him, he tore off his blind man clothes because he was about to receive a new anointing on his life, a fresh anointing on his life. And so here we see Elijah tearing up the mantle that he had on his own. And he grabbed hold of the mantle of Elijah to grab a hold of that anointing that he so desired. And so he cries out to him, "My father, my father, the horses, the chariots, I see it. Glory to God." And so he ke grabs this new mantle on his own life and he goes back, the Bible says, to the bank of the river Jordan. And we didn't finish reading it, but he he grabs this mantle and he hits the waters and he says, "Where is the God of Elijah?" You know, I love that because he didn't say, "Hey, I'm the new prophet in town." He didn't say, "I'm just as anointed as Elijah is." He recognized divine connection. He saw something in Elijah. He wasn't just a prophet. He's my father. And that was so important because only sons can inherit a double portion. And so he wanted something on his life that was on Elijah's life, on his life. And so the waters, you know, they opened up. He said, "Here is your father." That same anointing that's on your father is on your life as well. And as we go on, as you read in Second Kings chapter 3, Elijah does twice as many miracles as his father Elijah did. And so he saw something and he received something. Somebody say eye to eye. Eye to eye. Seeing is so important. You have to say it far. Seeing eye to eye is so important. Do like he did. Talk like he talked. Walk like he walked. Hear from God like he did. And he said if you can see it, you can have it. I need you to close your eyes just for a moment because there are things that you're believing God to do. There are things that you want God to do in your life and the enemy is just talking to you, sharing with you stuff that ain't the will of God. But I need you to see what God is saying to you. He said if you could see it right now, you can have it. Hallelujah. We got to see through the eyes, through the lens of the word of God. Hallelujah. And I believe this morning it'll be just like it was for Elijah and Elijah. Then it happened. Well, glory to God. Then it happened. Just as you are seeing right now, then it happened. Somebody said, "I believe." I believe. I receive it. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Praise God. That is that is so good. I I believe that if we just make some small tweaks that will lead to hot manifestations. And I I think that's one of the things that the word does. It just tweaks our pers perspective on life. and it makes small tweaks that lead to high peaks is what I should say. And so I I believe that that's what happened with the relationship between Elijah and Elisha. um that you know he began to hang out with this prophet and and he was if you can see eye to eye. If you can just make this small tweak in the way you perceive things, in the way you see things, it's going to lead to high peaks, high manifestations. It's going to lead to a life where you are learning how to live in the reality of two worlds. And that's the key. We we've learned how to live in the physical world, but we we're learning how to live in the physical world while living in the spiritual world at the same time. And so I I love how his life was so transformed by living with the older prophet. You know, Elijah lived with spiritual realities. In other words, he lived with God's perspective more than this natural reality. Now, he lived in the natural reality. I almost want to teach a uh show you how he he how he maneuvered in both worlds at the same time. And because he made those tweaks, my wife said, "Go for it." No, I didn't didn't plan to do that. But but do you understand that's what's happening with us? We're making small adjustments that's going to lead to huge manifestations of of the reality of this world. You you remember the story in uh 2 Kings chapter 4:es 1 when this woman it says in in it says now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried to Elijah your servant my husband is dead see that's natural reality and you know that your servant fear the Lord but the creditors have come to take my two children to be his slaves Now, this woman is dealing with more than just the crisis that comes from death. She's dealing with financial crisis. On top of that, she's dealing with the reality that she might lose her children. Now, this is all in the physical world and and she's got to make some adjustments because you deal with things. And the problem that I realized in this story that she didn't realize who was responsible. So, she's dealing with these crises and and Elijah said to her, "What shall I do for you?" Now, let's don't sanitize that. In other words, why you coming to me? See, sometimes we believe that when we're having crisis in the natural that we need to run to the church. We need to run to a a man and a woman of God because we don't understand or we confused about our responsibility. So sometimes we got to make some tweaks that lead to big breakthroughs. And so she says he says it she says that to him and he says tell me what you have in your house. And she said your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil. Now, oil is a metaphor of the anointing. It's God's empowering presence, giving you the ability to do something you couldn't do on your own. You understand? The oil represents her ability, her anointing, her responsibility. Cuz see, when people come to you and they have problem, the first thought is to bring them to the church. How come you don't deal with them? You know why? Because you just like her. You don't think you have something in your house. And so she she's underestimating who she is. And we're doing the same thing. We're underestimating who we are and what we're carrying when people come to you. See, Jesus didn't run to the church to bring a solution. He was the solution. your solution. Well, you know, they need this. Let me go over and ask the church to do it. You're underestimating who you are. Are you hearing me? She doesn't know what she has is valuable until someone comes and shows her what she has is valuable. And so we we continue to re read. It says, "Then he says, go outside and borrow vessels from all your neighbors, empty vessels, not a few. Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and and and pour in into all the vessels." And when one is full, set it aside. And when the vessels were full, she said unto her son, "Bring me another vessel." And and he said to her, "There is not another." Then the oil stopped flowing. And she came and told the man of God, and he said, "Go sell the oil, pay your debts, and you and your son can live on the rest." Are you seeing that? This text reveals that some Christians are confused about divine responsibility. The word responsibility means that you have an ability that you should respond to. And so the woman is dealing with more than I said before a financial crisis. She's dealing with an emotional crisis. Her husband is dead. You understand? So she is dealing with grief, grief to the past. She's overwhelmed by the present and she has anxiety about her future. Like back in those days, the man did everything. And so when he dies, that's it. I don't have no no income coming in. They're going to take my kids. So, her past, her present, and her future is under stress. And so, she's dealing with that. And so, what happens is the man of God don't give her a prophecy. He gives her a what's in your house. Now, what's happening here? He's trying to teach her. He's making a little tweak in how to live in two worlds at the same time. Because see, we have to understand. But what is he tweaking? He's tweaking the way she sees things. Her reality, she's looking at like, you know, your my my husband served you for many years. I'm expecting you to do something for me. She has an expectation that God doesn't have. She's coming to him. You know, my my husband was a prophet. He served you all these many years and look where we at. So now, what are you going to do about it? Like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Do Do you understand? Our expectation is wrong because we have a wrong reality. We're looking at life from the physical and not from the spiritual reality to the physical world. So, it makes your approach to doing life incorrect. So he's he's correcting that. He says, "Now I'm going to make you responsible. What is in your house?" Just because it's not a miracle doesn't mean it's not spiritual. He has given her the responsibility. He has given her the ability to respond. Then my question is, was the man that passed away a good man? Yes. Was the man who passed away a man of God? Yes. Did he not serve God? Yes. Was he not a good man? Yes. But he still ended up in a predicament. So it doesn't matter whether you are a a good woman or good man of God, you can still end up in a physical natural predicament. But the predicament doesn't have to control your outcome. You've got to be able to see from another reality in order to experience what God has. And here's what he said. Take what you had. Right? In other words, what he was teaching her, you're not to depend on Elijah. You got to depend on God. And so Elijah, he learned how to live from that reality and also living in this reality more than this natural reality because of his experiences. Are you hearing? Now let's look at another example. The king of Syria was making war against Israel. We know that. and and Elijah kept sending word to the king of Israel about the plans of Syria. The Syrian king learned that it was Elijah that was telling of his plans and he sends an army after Elijah. We read that in 2 Kings chapter 6. It says, "Therefore he, the king of Syria, sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city." And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master, what shall we do?" I need you to notice that when you can't see, you don't know what to do. And so he answers, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those are with them." Now notice, fear is a byproduct of being blind. Fear is a byproduct of what you cannot see from God's perspective. When we don't when we cannot see from God's perspective, then fear comes up. That's where fear and worry comes up. When you are afraid and you're worried, it's because you cannot see. And so he goes on and says, "And Elijah prayed and said, Lord, I pray open his eyes that he might what? See." What's going to get rid of the fear? His seeing. What's going to get rid of the anxiety? Your seeing. What's going to get rid of the worry? your ability to see. Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountains was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elijah. Do do you remember the story that Pastor just read? how when they crossed over the Jordan and then all of a sudden the the the chariot of fire and the horses of fire separated both of them and Elijah was taken up in the whirlwind. He said, "If you can see what I can see, you can have what I have." Well, he saw it and he's having it. He's living from a realm that Elijah lived from. That's what he meant. Can you see beyond the physical world? Can you see what God is doing? Can you see what he's saying? Can you see it? And so here he is and he he's he's surrounded by the Syrian army and he's not worried because he knows what's around him. Lord, open his eyes so he can see. Hallelujah. We need sometime God to open our eyes so that we can see about our health and see about our wealth and see about our resources and our provision. see about God's plan on your life. See, we see what the devil is doing, but can we see what God has done? Are you hearing me? So, he prayed. And when he prayed, the man could see, and behold, the mountains were full of horses and chariots. I wonder what's around you and I that we don't see. Hallelujah. Angels of prosperity, angels of healing, angels of breakthrough, angels of that bring the redeemed of the Lord what they say. Angels that cause every word that come out of your mouth not to drop to the ground and die. Angels, are you hearing me? See, we cannot look to the natural and expect to see spiritual realities. But we can look in the spirit and see the the natural realities. This is what it really looks like. This is what it really feels like. This is what it really is going on here. Cuz what you're seeing in the physical is not what's really going on. How many's ever had somebody tell you a lie? Okay. wasn't really going on, wasn't it? You wish you could have seen that. You wouldn't have went in that business deal. You wouldn't have made no We've got to make just a small tweak that's going to lead to high peaks. That's what we need in our lives. And so, we just see another story. You know, really, it's just learning how to live like Jesus lived. Jesus lived in two worlds at the same time and he did it successfully because he lived from the world of his father. Like think about it. Jesus is walking on water. Like how do you do that? You can't do that living from an earthly reality. And he wasn't special than you are because he was anointed by the Holy Ghost. I have to keep telling you that God don't need no anointing. He God. You need the anointing. We need the oil. God don't need no oil. He God. Do you understand? Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power who went about doing good and healing all that was oppressed of the devil. Why? For God was with him. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. God was with himself. He don't need that. So he walked on water. He comes out and the disciples response to seeing him walking on water. They were afraid. The Bible said and Jesus said, "Fear not. Just me being me." Do you understand? He's me being me. When are you going to be you? The minute we stop being who we are, man, we're going to be doing some really supernatural things which going to be normal. Oh my God. Okay. Second Kings chapter 3, we read the story of the king of Israel and the king of Judah and the king of of Edom. They are going against the Moabites. And so they get together and they begin to march toward them to battle and they march in the wilderness for seven days. They have this crazy plan and there's no water. So guess what? All they can see is what's happening in the natural. There's no water for the for the animals. There's no water for the soldiers. And then all of a sudden, one of the kings starts talking from a place of fear. Man, God brought us out here for us to die by the Moabitete, you know. And Jehoshaphat like, come on, man. There got to be a prophet. Somebody speaking something different cuz this guy going to kill everybody speaking like that. Give me, is there a prophet around? They said, Elijah. Elijah shows up and said, "You know what? you, I wouldn't even talk to you. But because of Jehoshaphat's here, I I'm going to tell you what the word of the Lord is." So he gets the word from the Lord and in verse 16, "And Elisha said, thus says the Lord, make this valley full of ditches, for thus sayeth the Lord, you shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain, yet the valley shall be filled with water." You better get out of here. Just dig a ditch. I'm going fill it. God been telling you that all your life. Come on, dig some ditches. I'm ready to fill it. Look, they are thirsty. They're complaining. They talking about dying. And he said, "Dig a ditch." And God says, "You ain't going to see it. You ain't going to see no wind. So don't even look to the natural." Woo. Glory. You not even going to see the rain. Don't even look to it. Hallelujah. Yet the valley shall be full. Do you understand? You don't know how God going to do it, but let me tell you, God's going to get it done. That's all you need to know. I don't know how, but I know he will cuz I heard him and I can see what he's saying. I see God doing it in my life. Woo! Glory. Hallelujah. I don't know how I'm going to move in that house, but God somehow going to get me in there. I don't know how God's gonna raise me up over this thing, how the breakthrough is gonna come, but God's gonna do it. Hallelujah. He says it shall be filled with water so that you, your cattle, your animals may drink. And this is a simple matter. Simple. Do you understand the stuff that we think is big in the nasty it's a simple matter? Have you ever had somebody come to you say this is simple? This is stupid. That's a better way to say this is a stupid matter for stupid people. Do you understand? It ain't it's it's easy. It's small. One translation said to me, "And the Lord considered that an easy thing to do." Easy. It's an easy thing to give you a breakthrough. It's an easy thing to raise you up. It's an easy thing to heal you. It's an easy thing to fix the problems that you're confront. It's an easy thing. Then he said, "In addition, he will put Moab at your mercy." People coming for you, they better back off cuz God know how to put them at your mercy. You better leave me alone. You thought you was stabbing me in my back, but I'm telling you, I'm about to be elevated. And God is giving me the responsibility of you. I'm going to decide your outcome. I just I love it. And see, we may we don't got to know everything. We just need to know the stuff that we confronted with. It's easy for God to do. Hallelujah. So, we may not know how. We may not know when God will do what he do. But if we just simply believe, we know that we're going to have what we believe. Somebody say, "Believing." Believing is seeing. Is seeing. And so your faith allows you to see your with spiritual eyes. It allows you to see beyond the natural. What's happening in the natural? It becomes the substance of things hoped for. It becomes the evidence of things not seen. You won't see wind and you won't see rain. the very things that the substance of what makes rain. He said, "But you won't see in those things in the natural." He said, "Something supernatural is about to take place in your life." And he said, "You won't see the wind. You won't see the rain. You won't know how. You won't know when. You just got to know that God's going to do exactly what he said he would do if we simply just believe. Believing is seeing." Look with me in John chapter 20. And is again you believe with your heart. Remember if your heart is right you'll be able to see. You'll be able to hear right. But if your heart is dull you can't see and you can't hear what God is saying. And so we have to believe with our hearts. In other words see with your heart. John chap 20 verse 24 in the passion translation it says one of the 12 which wasn't present when Jesus appeared to them. It was Thomas who nickname was the twin. So the disciples informed him, "We have seen the Lord with our own eyes." Still unconvinced, Thomas replied, "There's no way I'm going to believe this unless I personally see the wombs of the nails in his hands, touch them with my finger, and put my hand into the womb of his side where he was pierced." He was not convinced that they had seen the Lord. And so then the eight days, eight days later, Thomas and all the others were in the house together. And even though all the doors were locked, Jesus suddenly stood before them. Hallelujah. Somebody say, "Suddenly." Suddenly. Jesus suddenly stood before them and said, "Peace to you." Then looking into Thomas eyes, he said, "Put your finger here in the wounds of my hand. Here, put your hand into the wounded side and see for yourself." Thomas, don't give it Don't give in to your doubts any longer. Just believe. Listen. Don't give in to your doubts. When God begins to open your eyes to the truth of his word, the reality of what's really happening in your life in that present circumstance, in that situation, he says, "Listen, don't give in to your doubts any longer. Once God opens your eyes to see in the word, don't give in to the doubts any longer." Where is the doubts coming from? You continuing to look at it from a natural point of view and not from this God's perspective, from the spiritual point of view. Verse 28 it says, 'Then the words spilled out of his heart, you are my Lord. You are my God. Hallelujah. Jesus responded, Thomas, now that you've seen me, you believe. But there are those who have never seen me with their eyes, that's you and me, but have believed in me with their hearts. And they will be blessed even more. Hallelujah. Blessed more than he having the ability to touch with his hands Jesus and see. He said, "You and I who have not seen but believe with our hearts that Jesus is who he says he is." He said, "You will be blessed even more." God has so much more for us. And believing is seeing. Seeing through the eyes of the word of God, letting it be your lens, and not let doubt cause you to miss out on what God has already provided and prepared for us. You know, it would be a tragedy to have a sure word from God and then not be able to see it and don't believe it and don't receive what God has said to you. You know, God will give you a word and seems like everything the opposite. Anybody ever had the very opposite of what God said to happen to you? And so, here again, it would be a tragedy to have a sure word from God, but don't believe it. And as a result of that, you don't receive it and don't benefit from the word of God that he's given to you. This what happened in second Kings chapter 7. It says here's the people of God. This the background story. The people of God, they're trapped in the city. They're afraid to go out of the city because of the armies that are coming against them. And they believe if they go out in the city, they'll be killed. So everybody's in the city. They're trapped. And as a result of being trapped, who knows how long they've been trapped in this city, but they've trapped a long time. And now they run out of food. They have nothing to eat. Nobody can go out, go to the grocery store. They're stuck in the house. Sounds like a pandemic, but anyway, they're stuck in the house. They're stuck in the city. And so here comes Elijah with a word of the Lord and says to them about this time tomorrow, you're going to have more than enough of everything you ever need. Here's a word from God. You're going to have more than enough right now. You have nothing. They don't have anything. So much so that they begin to eat their babies, physically eat their babies because they don't have food. And here comes a word from God saying, "Tomorrow you're going to have more than enough of everything. How many know that's a hard word to receive? Especially when you just finished business chopping on your son or your daughter. You just eating your babies. And so here God's verse 2 Kings chapter 7 verse two and the officer assisting the king said to the man of God that couldn't happen even if the Lord opened windows of heaven. But Elijah replied, "You will see it happen with your own eyes, but you won't be able to eat any of it." It's a It's a It's a horrible thing, a tragedy to get a word from God and see it come to pass, but not participate in it, not be able to partake of what God is saying. And he said, "You'll see it, but you won't be able to eat any of it." Why? because you didn't believe it with your heart. You didn't believe what God has said. And because of that, he they didn't he didn't have a believing heart. It's with an open heart that you and I will begin to see what you believe. But believing somebody say believing is seeing. Open your Bibles to Luke chapter 24. Luke 24. Now it came to pass as he sat at the table with them that he took bread and he blessed and break it and he gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they knew him and he vanished from their sight. You know this was the story of how Jesus he you know his two disciples were walking in the road of Emmas and he joined himself to them and he I love how Jesus he asked him question because they was talking about what you know Jesus had just been raised from the dead. It was the third day. And um and Jesus said like, "What are you guys talking about?" And they like looked at him like, "Where you been? You you where you been? You've been in Jerusalem? Don't you know what just happened?" And he says, "No, tell me about it." He said, "The chief priests." And they killed Jesus. And then, you know, they buried him in the tomb. He was supposed to be raised at the third day. And you know, the women went down there and they, you know, and they angels told him this and that, but they weren't believing. And Jesus said, "You foolish, too slow to believe." And he begin to expound to them from Moses throughout all the prophets and and uh about himself. I love it. He preaching about himself to them. And they still didn't even know who Jesus was. And so the Bible said Jesus would have, you know, went on and then they they begin to ask him, "Come on, let's just come on in the house, it's getting late, you know, and when he gets in the house, all the disciples are there." And he begins to break bread. And the Bible said in the breaking of the bread, they knew who he eyes were open. God opens our eyes when we break the bread. When we open the word and we get to see who he is to us and we begin to discover what we can be for him in the breaking of the bread. Ain't that so good? That's so good. Come on, we got a few more minutes. Let's look at Ro Revelation, the book of Revelation, because we have to go to God to be able to see and allow God to anoint our eyes so that we can see. But there has to be an exchange that makes. Is your life or his that you disregard what you see in the natural and take on what you see in the spirit that God reveals to you. Revelations chapter 3 verse 17 in the easy to read version say you say you are rich and you think you have become wealthy and you don't need anything but you don't know that you're really miserable. I mean know are there a lot of rich miserable people? He says you're really miserable. You're pitiful. You're poor and blind, can't see, and you're naked. He said, "Let me give you some advice. I advise you to buy gold from me. Gold made pure in fire." Hallelujah. In other words, this word buy means to make an exchange. You got to exchange your your self-righteousness for his righteousness. Pure gold. Then you will be rich. And I'll tell you this, buy clothes that are white. Then you will be able to cover your shameful nakedness. I also tell you to buy medicine to put on your eyes. Then you'll be able to see. It's only when we exchange his our lives for his life that we'll be able to see. That you'll be able to see through his eyes everything that God has made available to us. Otherwise, he said you're miserable, pitiful, poor and naked, blind and naked. But when we make the exchange, buying means just simply making exchange. I'm taking on his nature. I'm taking on his character. I'm seeing from his perspective. And as a result of that, things begin to change in my life. He says by the medicine to anoint your eyes so that you'll be able to see. Come on, stand to your feet. Hallelujah. Glory to God. How many know the word of God is like medicine? You take in that word, you'll be able to see. Come on, lift your hands to high to heaven. Father, we thank you for the word, the wisdom that have come to us this day. God, I'm asking that you will open every one of our eyes to see what you have made available to us through your word. Lord God, for every circumstance and every situation, Lord God, we no longer look to the natural. We look to the spirit, the reality of your world invading our worlds and be causing us to see from your perspective. God, this morning we dig our ditch. Lord God, we thank you that you're filling our ditches with water. Lord God, you're filling us up with your plan, your pres provisions, what you desire and what you have for our lives. Lord God, we thank you, Lord God. We won't see things from a natural perspective. Lord God, there's more to us than meets the eye. Lord God, we thank you, Lord Jesus, for the oil of your spirit that we have available to us. The anointing of the Holy Spirit, it's not just natural oil. It's the oil of your spirit, Lord God, that will cause us to live the life that God has made available to us. So, like that widow, Lord God, we live by your anointing, God. Like Blind Barameus, we cry out to you, Lord God. like Elijah, we strip up our mantle and we take on the mantle of Almighty God. God, we thank you this morning, Lord Jesus, that you anointing our eyes. We buy the medicine this morning, the word of the living God, and we thank you for anointing our eyes to see, Lord Jesus, from your perspective from heaven here on earth. And for this, God, we give you praise and much thanksgiving. Come on. Do you believe you receive something? Just give your God the biggest shout of praise. Hallelujah. Glory. Glory. Glory. Glory. Glory. Glory. Hallelujah.
