I gave you the eyes of your heart so you could see the things that are invisible, outside of yourself and your natural surroundings. The eyes of your heart can take you to a new level of faith. The just shall live by faith and you walk by faith, not by “sight.” But I’m talking about your natural sight there, that is, what your natural senses can discern. “My people perish for a lack of vision.” You walk by faith with your spiritual eyes open to see my vision! I don’t expect you to walk in blindness; I just expect you to walk past what you can see in the natural.
It is so important to have my vision before you. If you don’t have the image of the goal in your mind, how will you know which direction to go? I told Abram to go to the place I would show him. This is a picture of what I’m saying to you now. Without having any direction in the natural, or even any good reason, and despite what anyone else told him or thought of him, Abram got up, took what he needed and left. How could he do that? I showed him in his heart where I wanted him to go.
It was the eyes of his heart that allowed him to see the direction of his new home. It was only when he stopped seeing with the eyes of his heart that he got into trouble. The secret to all those who have walked in great faith is that they “saw.” You can walk in great faith when you begin to “see,” with the eyes of your heart, and then act on what you are seeing me saying and doing.
I would say to you to continue to cultivate the eyes of your heart and not just so you can enjoy the visions. Know that as my vision flows to you, you are knowing me better, and know that my vision is also doing a work in you, and also will give you direction that you must move in. Imagine Abram looking around at all his family, all his home, and deciding he was content where he was and that he wasn’t going to move. He could have come up with a dozen excuses to stay. Here’s the good news; Divine vision impels you forward. The choice is yours, but when you get that certainty, that revelation in your spirit, there comes with it a strength and a strong desire to run with it.
Now that you have become convinced that my voice comes to you through images, not just once in awhile but all the time and anytime you choose to look, you are on the brink of some major change. Don’t forget to continue to spend time in my presence, or you will return to mediocrity. Even if you do forget, I will always be speaking, and you will hear me from time to time, but you can have so much more than that. You see that it’s true; now walk in it.
Keep your “eyes” on me and not on your failures, that is, the cycle you feel you’re in that keeps you constantly beating yourself up for not making it to our appointments. Can you forgive yourself, give yourself grace and put that behind you? Let’s move forward together. The devil can’t tempt me to feel anything bad about you, so don’t you let him, either. Keep your eyes on me, keep speaking the Truth out, and you will see transformation. Don’t look at the problem, look at Me! See how I speak to mountains, not about how big they are or how difficult they will be to move. Let me put the vision of the mountain removed in your heart, and then believe and speak that.
Oh, now you’re beginning to believe with me! A broken pattern of negative behavior feels like weight lifted off your body and soul. The cycle is broken already. Let my dreams and vision come in and sweep away the debris. You are free, as a fly escaping from a spider’s web, and I take my broom and destroy and remove the web, spider and all. Now that you are free, I want you to speak that out. Make that your confession from now on. You are free to get up in the morning, noon, night, whenever, to meet with me. You have the strength and desire to do so. You are no longer under a burden of guilt and shame. You have spoken it, and I’ve done it, and now you believe it. Press on, daughter.
