Good Morning,
Are you able to see farther than you can see? I know that you
are probably wondering if I fell and hit my head today. Not today! Let
me explain this question that I heard this morning in my quiet time
with the Lord. Is your ability to see affected by what you are looking
at? Yes, unless you are looking with eyes of faith. We usually respond
or we are moved to action by our immediate sight. As we see and
experience transition in our lives and in the lives of others, our
vision can become shortsighted and blurred. It can also become stronger
and better. We are the determining factor in what we allow to keep our
attention and our eyes. If you've been having trouble seeing beyond
today, you need to strengthen your 'spiritual eyes' until it affects
your future sight. It would be to your advantage to have a seer in your
life, as well. God has placed them in the church too, 'prophets-seers.' Ephesians 4:11-12; –
"And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets;
and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ." Of course every vision that is true will line up with the Word of God
which has the best and farthest vision. Any true prophet will line up
their vision with God! They are as needed in the body of Christ as a
pastor, evangelist, teachers, and apostles. Don't treat them any differently than you do your pastor. God ordained the office of a
prophet, just as surely as He did the other four offices and they all
are needed to help mature the body. Each of these offices have a
special part to fulfill. Don't despise the office of the prophet. The
prophet will see those things that are afar off and give us a heads up.
We all need their ministry in our lives. God is faithful and He has
surely placed them in your church. We will go into this a little more
at a later time. Let's see what we can do about developing our vision.

We all need their ministry in our lives. God is faithful and He has
surely placed them in your church. We will go into this a little more
at a later time. Let's see what we can do about developing our vision.
Let's see what vision means. Vision
in the Strong's concordance means sight in a dream, revelation, or
oracle. Websters define vision as; something seen otherwise than by
the ordinary sight; supernatural, or prophetic sight; unusual
discernment or foresight or envision. This is what God gives us through His Word. He has given us vision, unusual discernment and foresight, to see beyond the turmoil that is going on in the world today, the ability to see through the temporal things of this world. II Corinthian 4:18– "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal;[brief and fleeting] but the things which are not seen are eternal. Eternal vision is seeing beyond, "our
light momentary affliction {this slight distress of the passing hour}
is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving
for us an everlasting weight of glory! (II Corin. 4:17) Start
exercising your vision by practicing and looking beyond what is trying
to take your attention. It is temporary, brief and fleeting. See the
plan that God has promised in His Word or what He has spoken to you. Fix your gaze on eternity and your vision will get stronger. All of us
as children of God have some foresight, because of the Word and precious Holy Spirit. Foresight means a view forward; front sight; future sight or looking in a forward direction. We are preparing for our future life more than this temporary one. Prov. 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish…." We are a people that have a vision. This
can keep our eyes on the ultimate plan of God and eventually all things
will be made right. We must fight the good fight of faith like
Abraham. Abraham's sight went beyond his life on earth. "Abraham
was confidently [waiting expectantly] looking forward to a city with
eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God." (Heb. 11:10) Here is a great telescope to help us to see farther than whatever is taking up the sight of our eyes. "And
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first
earth was passed away;…" And God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed
away…. He that overcomes shall inherit all things: and I will be His
God, and he shall be my son." (Rev. 21:1,4,7) Are you able to see farther now? If not get your 'eyes' back on sight. You have a
great future ahead! We are in production and preparation for greater glory! Believe it.
