OPENING OUR EYES 3-1-24 VIDEO VIEWING YOUR LIFE THRU GODS LENS2
As we start this new month of March and welcome spring, let us by the power of the Holy Spirit open up the eyes of our heart. It is so we can see what has not been seen. The eyes of our heart are open to see God’s provision for us through the person of the Holy Spirit. The church has been given eyes to see.
Ephesians 1:18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling— that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones!
19 I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power TPT

10 Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man’s scrutiny]. AMP

Matthew 13:13 That’s why I teach the people using parables, because they think they’re looking for truth, yet because their hearts are unteachable, they never discover it. Although they will listen to me, they never fully perceive the message I speak.
14The prophecy of Isaiah describes them perfectly: Although they listen carefully to everything I speak, they don’t understand a thing I say. They look and pretend to see,
but the eyes of their hearts are closed.
15Their minds are dull and slow to perceive, their ears are plugged and are hard of hearing, and they have deliberately shut their eyes to the truth. Otherwise they would open their eyes to see, and open their ears to hear, and open their minds to understand.
Then they would turn to me and I would instantly heal them.
16“But blissful are your eyes, for they see. Delighted are your ears, for they are open to hear all these things.
17Many prophets and godly people yearned to see these days of miracles that you’ve been favored to see. They would have given everything to hear the revelation you’ve been favored to hear. TPT
JOHN 14:17 Your eternal companion is the Spirit of truth, whom those trapped in the sense-ruled world, just cannot 1get to grips with!

18 At no time will you be orphaned or abandoned by me; I come to abide 1face to face with you. (I come to be no less face to face with you, than what I’ve always been face to face with the Father, from the beginning and for all eternity.
19 In yet a little while the world will no longer see me, but I will be tangibly visible to you in the very life we share together. MIRROR
