The Eye Gate – Don’t Look At What You See

The Eye Gate – Don’t Look At What You See

Beloved, I hope you are challenging and pushing hard against yourself to get rid of the wrong learnt behaviors (according to the Word of God) that we don’t even realize we have because it has become part of us. It does require a whole lot of effort, but soon enough it will become second nature to reject that which is in contradiction with Gods Word. I salute you for sticking in there and for doing this for our King Jesus who we love so dearly.

Let us look then at the next scripture and keep rewiring our minds and eyes to look at things the way the Word of God directs.

2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Let me ask you this question. How do you look at difficulties/problems/trials and what do you really see? I am asking this because we all are falling short of staying in the Spirit, especially when we face heartache, financial pressure, children that are lost, sickness and disease etc. We tend to get so overwhelmed by what we see in the physical that we forget how to stay in the Spirit and look with our spiritual eyes.

If we do not look at what we see physically and we do not allow ourselves to be affected negatively by it, if we hook immediately into Jesus, then we will see things that doesn’t look at all like what we are physically seeing. This is where your spirit is seeing what God is actually saying about the situation.

The difficult part is to train yourself to immediately bring your eyes under the blood of Jesus and ask Holy Spirit to help you stay in the Spirit and not operate out of emotion that can lead you astray.

NUGGET

DO NOT LOOK AT WHAT YOU (physically) SEE! Especially when it is shocking or very negative.

THE DEVIL IS A LIER! God speaks a different Word!

I had to many times in difficult situations repeat to myself, don’t look at what you see. This helped me to focus on being mindful of asking God what I needed to do. I made sure to not agree with my emotions that were dictating to me how bad it was because of what my physical eyes saw.

The moment there is a negative or horrific thing you are facing – Call immediately upon Jesus and ask Him to open your eyes to really see what is happening in the spirit, just like it is written in 2 Kings 6:17

My Testimony

When our children were 3 and 5 years old we did not have any medical aid whatsoever. Our finances were tight and everything that needed medical attention had to be prayed through. This was my time where I have learnt what it truly meant not to look at what I see.

The one day after I was done homeschooling our daughter she stayed behind in our school room to play. I was outside doing some washing when I heard a horrific scream. I immediately started praying in my heavenly language because I knew I needed Jesus. The lady that was helping me ran out the door because she couldn’t handle the sight. A room divider fell over unto our daughter and its corner fell on her foot making a hole in it and blood gushed out of this hole. There was a blue line across her foot as well where it hit her. Prayerfully I cleaned the hole and wrapped her foot up. I then said to her that we will be trusting Jesus for healing and we will ask him to remove the pain. (We can get so emotionally wrapped up in our children’s pain that we forget to stay in the Spirit and rely on Gods help. We tend to immediately run to the help of the world. I couldn’t, I was forced to rely only on God because we did not have the means to go to the doctor). Our 3 year old son was standing with his little guitar strumming away and he said: “Mommy when there is trouble, we worship Jesus”. I asked him to do the worship while I was praying. As I was praying I saw a picture of the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and I asked the Lord to roar over her and drive away the enemy that was trying to torment her. Instantly, in that corner of the living room where we sat we heard a massive roaring of thunder outside. (It was clear blue sky that day, no rainy weather at all.) Our daughter immediately responded and said that Jesus, the Lion is roaring over her. We prayed over that hole in her foot and commanded it in the name of Jesus to close up. A half an hour later she said to me she wanted to take a bath and we must take the bandage off. I opened it and the blood stopped and there was no sight of a hole! The blue line across her foot was still there but there was no pain. How awesome is God. He encountered our little one. That day I had to push hard against not looking at what I saw with my physical eyes. If we had a medical aid it would’ve been easy to just get it sorted by the doctor. I wouldn’t have learnt to look at difficult situations with different eyes. How God loves us.

Another story

Our 3 year old son also had his own ordeal. He used to help his grandfather making breakfast most mornings. The one day grandfather just turned around for a second and our boy pressed his whole hand down unto the hot stove plate. There was instantly a colossal blister across the palm of his hand. I have never seen a blister that big. We knew how to look at the situation and we did not come in agreement with how bad and terrible it was. Although he cried for two hours, we prayed and worshipped for those two hours not giving up. At one stage when he calmed down I prayed and commanded that blister in the name of Jesus to dry up, the pain to go and to be gone within 2 days. Within 2 days the blister was open, the skin fell off and new skin grew over that wound. Yes, within two days! Another miracle!

I have many such stories where we had to look past what we physically saw and looked with our spiritual eyes. It is quite a battle at first , but sticking in there and not budging will bring forth great fruit. I am grateful to God for teaching me how to look with other eyes. We need to know that especially in difficult situations God always teaches us something. It is how we look and respond to what we see where we will either overcome or be defeated.

My beloved friend, what do you see when you face trials? Do you see the unseen (many times we have to stick in there and not let go until something happens, just like 2 hours later for me? Or do you see like Elisha’s servant saw in 2Kings 6:15 and he was afraid?

Let us then press on by training our eyes to see what Jesus sees in our difficult situations and not immediately be overwhelmed by what we physically see.

Let us pray: Abba Father, I am just like Elisha’s servant in 2 Kings 6:15 that saw all the horses and chariots around the city and got afraid. I repent and ask forgiveness for looking at what I see. Please forgive me for getting so emotionally overwhelmed that I forget that You speak a different Word. Please forgive me for not being mindful of You and how I ought to deal with difficulties. Please wash me and cleanse me with Your precious blood in the name of Jesus. Father, please forgive me for my first response that is to run to others for help. I repent that my eyes are defiled and full of horror, expecting and believing the worst when I see something bad happen. Please forgive me for giving over to the lies of the enemy in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit I need your help, I need You to please take charge when I face difficulties, I ask that You would immediately come and remind me to ask You to open my eyes so that I won’t look at what I see but to what You see. Father, I ask for a cleansing of my eye gate in your blood, I rededicate my eyes to You and I ask like Elisha asked, open my eyes Lord that I might see in the name of Jesus. Let Your kingdom come in the way I look at difficulties in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth who came in the flesh. Amen and amen!

The Eye Gate

The Eye Gate

Beloved, if this is your first time reading this blog I would suggest you start with the previous post on let the light in for a bit more context on the topics we will be covering the next few months or so.

I really want us to ponder daily on what we will be learning in this time. Not just today or tomorrow but we need to condition ourselves to run back to the Word of God everyday and weigh ourselves up against it to make sure we are living a life worthy of the Lord. Colossians 1:10. Our lifestyles should show that we are walking as Christ directs us to.

I pray that Holy Spirit will convict and minister to your heart as you read. I pray that you will really press in daily to change your mindset and to open up your gates for the King of Glory, Jesus Christ to enter and shine through you.

If you want to understand a scripture better you can google your scripture reference by adding commentary and read up on what the commentaries say about what the scripture really means and what the history behind the scripture is. This helps a lot if you don’t really understand or you want to make sure you understand correctly and don’t make your own assumptions.

So, here we go with part 1.

I want to start with the next scriptures. It is indirectly connected to the eye gate, but I feel it is necessary for us to start here!

Matthew 7:1-2“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Isn’t this the truth? How many of us, when we look at someone immediately make an assumption of who we think they are? We don’t know them or what pain they carry, but we will assume they are this way or that way by the way they dress, how many tattoos they have, or even what others say about them. We tend to look at someone with a critical eye and many times we believe the worst. Many of us have learnt a behavior of being suspicious of others and never giving them the benefit of the doubt. If we are constantly in a mode of finding fault with others our lives will become miserable and we will breed bitterness in our hearts that will lead to a heart without compassion.

Another behavior we have learnt is thinking that our ways are better than others, or we know better than others, making out that others are dumb and the list goes on. This is pride! If we can stop looking at other’s shortcomings and first look at ourselves and realize we all have flaws we will be able to dodge the trap of the enemy by falling into pride that God hates!

First Nugget

WATCH HOW YOU LOOK AT OTHERS!

Catch yourself out before you fall into sin and look for the potential in that person rather than looking at their short falls. Be careful of being critical, for you will be judged by others the same way you have judged! What you sow, you will reap.

Matthew 7:3-5

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

We are many times quick to want to correct others for the things they do or say that are wrong. We need to first gauge ourselves to see if we have the right to correct them or not. Really testing our hearts to see if we are maybe not doing the same things.

This scripture is speaking about people that are quick to “sort others out” or quick to point out peoples inadequacies. It speaks about many of us that don’t even realize that we ourselves also do things that are out of line and therefore we should be careful of going around trying to correct others while we are guilty of doing the same things or worse. We are called hypocrites if we operate like this.

It would be much better if we change the way we correct others by identifying with them in their wrong doings, coming from a place of humility. By doing this it will help us to be mindful of our own conduct and stay clear of being called hypocrites. We would be much more effective in helping our brothers and sisters to be set free from their wrong doings and at the same time we will keep ourselves from not being deceived by thinking we don’t do wrong.

My Personal Experience

Many years ago when God started teaching me this principal of judgments coming back, I really didn’t understand the implications. I won’t go into details about what happened, but I will give you a summary.

There was a pastor that did great signs and wonders and He broadcasted over television for many years. I did not know him well, I only saw him a few times, I did not know anything about him. One of my friends loved this pastor and he went to a lot of his meetings. One day my friend told me something about this pastor and immediately I was offended and I made an assumption that this pastor was blasphemous. I didn’t hear it myself, I made an assumption by what I heard. A few weeks passed and two of my friends spoke about this pastor and the amazing work that he has been doing for God. The only thing I said to them was: “But you know there is something wrong there?” They didn’t really respond to what I said and we carried on with the conversation. (We must be very careful of judging, many times the person we are judging has something that we can learn from, but by making assumptions about them we immediately close our hearts to everything they say or do and we lose out on something that God wants to teach us). The very next day I couldn’t get out of bed, I had so much pain in my body. It was so intense that at one point I asked God, “Father what have I done, why am I in this state?” God answered immediately by telling me I have judged and slandered His servant. God told me that I did not know what He told this pastor in the secret place about what I was told by my friend.

So 2 things happened, it didn’t just end at judging, it spilled over to slander and gossip. By telling my friends about what I felt about this pastor I have defiled them with my judgments against Gods anointed. So, I immediately phoned them and repented. I then asked God to pls forgive me for what I have done. The next day I was completely healed.

Many years after this incident I went through a huge health ordeal and I couldn’t sleep at night. One of the things that brought me through was lying infront of the television while that same pastor’s program of healing the sick was on. That was the only place I could fall asleep at night over that period of time. If I didn’t sort my heart out years before I would’ve never watched that pastors program in that time and I would’ve probably suffered a whole lot more.

Nugget Two

If you can’t speak or think about others in a respectful way, even if you are sure there are things wrong, just STOP! Do not touch God’s anointed. Psalm 105:15. Do you know who Gods anointed are? Everyone who is a child of God is His anointed. We do not have the right to speak out about anyone even if they have issues or are doing wrong. Most of all, be careful of defiling your friends by talking disrespectfully about others. If you need to vent, speak to the Lord and allow Him to touch your heart.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE: When our first child was born I remember looking at my dads conduct and I would quietly in my heart say that I will never be like him – I will never shout at my children. That was a judgment and an inner vow. So, our baby got older and without realizing I started shouting at her until one day I heard God speaking loud and clear: “What are you doing? The very thing you didn’t want to do you are doing. You have judged your father with a heart full of pride and arrogance – the same measure you used to judge is measured to you.” I repented!!! I asked God to remove the judgments coming back on me by my judging my father.

Judging another is pride, by doing it we indirectly say that the other person is bad, they don’t know what they are doing and we know better, God hates pride. We cannot judge a persons character, who they are, what they do, what they look like or how they behave because it looks wrong to us. We judge the sin but never the character of a person, because that can break their spirit. It is Gods job to change people, if we think it is our place we are greatly mistaken. This means that we are taking Gods place as judge and we are sitting on His judgment seat. It is not our place! Something to surely repent of.

Beloveds, if we stop looking at others inadequacies and be aware of the fact that we also have many or more , we will start having more grace for others and we will become less critical. We are all falling short, none of us have the right to behave in a way where we think we are better than others because they do things a bit different than us or they look different from us.

Therefore let us stop our eyes from looking with judgment and train our eyes to look for the potential and good in others.

Let us pray:

Abba Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ who died on the cross for my sins. I pray this prayer for my bloodline, myself and my seed line. Father I want to bring Matthew 7:1-5 before you where it states that I should not judge otherwise I will be judged; that when I judge, the same measure I use will be measured to me. Father I am guilty of doing this and for reaping exactly that which I have sown. I repent and ask that you will pls forgive me for judging _________________________________________(state all the names of the people you can remember that you have judged) I am guilty of finding fault with them, for thinking highly of myself, for thinking my ways are better, I repent of my pride and arrogance in Jesus name. Father I repent of taking Your place as judge. I repent for sitting on the judgment seat that is Yours. Please forgive me for not realizing what I was actually doing because I was deceived. Please wash me in Your blood and please take Your seat, I step down and I give it back to You in Jesus name. Father I also repent of every time I have defiled my friends by gossip and slander. I repent that I have influenced them to turn away from the people I have judged. I ask that You will forgive me and cleanse us all, by the blood of Jesus from this defilement in Jesus name. Father, these judgments have come back upon me and I have been judged by others for the same thing I have judged others with. If the judgments I have sown have not yet come back unto me I ask for mercy. It is a principal in Your Word which means it will come back on me some time or another. I repent and ask that you will please break every judgment I have made that will come back on me in Jesus name. Please remind me of every instance where and who I have judged so that I can repent effectively for it. Cleanse me in Your blood and pls remind me that I am also mere man and I make many mistakes. Father, pls forgive me for always trying to take the speck out of others eyes before I even look at myself or realizing that I have a log in my eyes. Therefore pls help me to have grace with others around me and to only find the good in them. Father, I bring my eye gate before You and I ask that You will cleanse the way I look at others by the blood of Jesus Christ. I ask for a new see and a new look in Jesus name. I rededicate my eyes to you in Jesus name and I ask that I will look through the eyes of Jesus when I look at others. Father, pls convict my heart every time I default back to the old ways of being judgmental in Jesus name. I choose to walk away from this behavior and I give my eyes to you so that You be glorified in how I look upon people, in the name of Jesus I pray. Amen and amen.

Don’t stop here! Let us everyday work at changing our behaviors and mindsets! Let us be mindful of how we look, think and behave towards others daily.

Let The Light In!

Let The Light In!

Romans 13:12 The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

Beloveds, I would love for you to walk with me for a period of time cleansing and rededicating our senses to God. We will be dealing with the curses and blessings that can land on our senses when we allow certain things into our lives. For a few weeks we will be dealing with one sense at a time where we will use scripture to work and pray through. The aim is to become aware of how our five senses can easily be defiled by what we allow ourselves to watch, speak, hear, discern and touch. Our senses are spiritual gates that can either be used by God or by evil. It is imperative for us as God’s children to rid ourselves from the things that will hamper our spiritual walk. We need clean gates to be able to receive God’s clear instructions but if we are contaminated we can miss out on the whole truth because we have mixture in us. Half light, half darkness.

I believe we are in a time of becoming more disciplined in our spiritual walk and to really pursue that which is light and rid ourselves of that which is affecting our effectiveness in the spirit.

Beloved, you are welcome to come along with me on this journey. Let us open up our gates and let Jesus Christ, the true light in.

As preparation for our spirits I would like for us to first start by praying this next prayer.

Prayer and blessing of Light by Arthur Burke

Father we come before You on the ground of our covenant with You and pray the following according to Your Word:

Father we acknowledge that once we were darkness, but now we desire to be light in the Lord; we come and boldly state that we want to walk as children of Light and to lead the lives of those native-born to the Light. Eph 5:8

Father we acknowledge the state of our spirits, souls, and bodies before You, we know that there are still many areas covered in darkness so therefore, Father, we ask that You command as in the Beginning Let there be Light and there was Light

Gen 1:3. Father as we continue to speak these Words, daily, give us the understanding of Your promises as it is given in John 1 that the darkness must flee before the Light. John 1:4, 5 In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.

And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it

[put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it and is unreceptive to it].

Thank You Father that our spirits know that there is Life – You’re all empowering, Life

giving, sustaining, healing, revealing, hope and mercy filled life-light starting to flood

our beings. Thank You for the flood LIGHT of your life shining into every cell, DNA

strand, my senses, organs, brain, and everything else pertaining to my spirit, soul and

body in all time space and dimension.

Father we ask that this will be Your True Light the Light of Yeshua and that You will see that the light was good (suitable, pleasant) and that You will approve it; and that You will separate the light from the darkness. Gen 1:4

Father we know from scripture that the darkness blinds us so that we cannot see Your truth. But as with the Israelites, we as Your children we ask that Your light will shine through this darkness. We ask for Your natural light in our places of darkness. The Egyptians could not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the Israelites had natural light in their dwellings. (Ex 10:23)

And Father whilst it is still dark in some areas of our inner being we ask that You, Lord will go before us by day in a pillar of cloud to lead us along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give us light, that we might travel by day and by night. (Ex 13:21) 

Prophetically, we come as the priests in the Old Testament, and we light the 7 lamps of Your Light in our inner parts. And you shall make the lamps of the [lampstand] to include a seventh one [at the top of the shaft]. [The priests] shall set up the [seven] lamps of it so they may give light in front of it. (Ex 25:37) 

Father, humbly we ask that You shall command the provision of pure oil of crushed olives for the light, to cause it to burn continually [every night]. (Ex 27:20) Father, today I come and repent that we did not look for this light, that we were content to live in the darkness and that we ourselves did not seek to prepare the pure oil of Your spirit and Your Word to keep the light burning continually.

Father, as this was true for David, we ask for ourselves, that Your servant may always have a light before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen to put My Name. (1Ki 11:36) and that You would not destroy us because of our covenant with You and will be a light to us always as You have promised David, He had made a covenant with David and promised to give a light to him and to his sons forever. (2Chr 21:7) 

As Your grafted-in children we proclaim that the Jews had light [a dawn of new hope] and gladness and joy and honour. (Est 8:16) 

Father, we see our own sorrow and thought patterns in Job’s life and these verses explain the condition of our hearts.

The land of sunless gloom as intense darkness, [the land] of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as thick darkness. (Job 10:22) 

May You by your Light uncover deep things out of darkness and brings into light black gloom and the shadow of death. (Job 12:22) 

We repent of our thoughts lingering on darkness These [thoughts] that extend from the night into the day, [so that] the light is short because of darkness. (Job 17:12) and ask for Your light to also floodlight our thoughts.

Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the flame of his fire shall not shine. (Job 18:5) 

Thank You Father that we can decree and declare that Your Word stands fast for us and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favour] shall shine upon your ways. (Job 22:28) 

These wrongdoers are of those who rebel against the light; they know not its ways nor stay in its paths. (Job 24:13) Father, this is me – I repent for my rebellion against Your ways and Your light for my own and those before me our sins, transgressions, and iniquities. I come and ask that You in Your mercy will once again show us the ways to stay on Your paths. And therefore, I declare When His lamp shone above and upon my head and by His light I walked through darkness; (Job 29:3) 

Because of my sins and transgressions this is true but when I looked for good, then evil came to me; and when I waited for light, there came darkness. (Job 30:26) but I thank You, Father that\[God] has redeemed my life from going down to the pit [of destruction], and my life shall see the light! (Job 33:28) To bring back his life from the pit [of destruction], that he may be enlightened with the light of the living. (Job 33:30) 

(Psalm 90:8) Our iniquities, our secret heart, and its sins [which we would so like to conceal even from ourselves], You have set in the [revealing] light of Your countenance. We thank You for this because we want to be children of Light. Thank You for exposing the true conditions of our hearts and that Your blood can cover a multitude of our sins.

Father, standing before Your throne, we trustingly pray, think about, and decree the following:

(Psalm 4:6) Many say, oh, that we might see some good! Lift the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord.

(Psalm 27:1) THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation–whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life–of whom shall I be afraid?

(Psalm 43:3) O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling.

(Psalm 56:13) For You have delivered my life from death, yes, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life and of the living.

(Psalm 97:11) Light is sown for the [uncompromisingly] righteous and strewn along their pathway, and joy for the upright in heart [the irrepressible joy which comes from consciousness of His favour and protection].

(Psalm 104:2) [You are the One] Who covers Yourself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain or a tent,

 (Psalm 112:4) Light arises in the darkness for the upright, gracious, compassionate, and just [who are in right standing with God].

(Psalm 118:27) The Lord is God, who has shown and given us light [He has illuminated us with grace, freedom, and joy].

(Psalm 119:105) Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. [Prov. 6:23.]

(Psalm 119:130) The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple.

(Psalm 148:3) Praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all you stars of light!

(Prov 4:18) But the path of the [uncompromisingly] just and righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines more and more (brighter and clearer) until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day [to be prepared]. [II Sam. 23:4; Matt. 5:14; Phil. 2:15.]

(Prov 13:9) The light of the [uncompromisingly] righteous [is within him–it grows brighter and] rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked [furnishes only a derived, temporary light and] shall be put out shortly.

(Prov 15:30) The light in the eyes [of him whose heart is joyful] rejoices the hearts of others, and good news nourishes the bones.

(Isa 2:5) O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.

(Isa 5:20) Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

(Isa 9:2) The people who walked in darkness have seen a great Light; those who dwelt in the land of intense darkness and the shadow of death, upon them has the Light shined. [Isa. 42:6; Matt. 4:15, 16.]

(Isa 10:17) And the Light of Israel shall become a fire and His Holy One a flame, and it will burn and devour [the Assyrian’s] thorns and briers in one day. [II Kings 19:35-37; Isa. 31:8-9; 37:36.]

Thank You, Yeshua,, for being Light of this world and changing us forever

(Isa 42:6) I the Lord have called You [the Messiah] for a righteous purpose and in righteousness; I will take You by the hand and will keep You; I will give You for a covenant to the people [Israel], for a light to the nations [Gentiles],

(Isa 42:16) And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known. I will make darkness into light before them and make uneven places into a plain. These things I have determined to do [for them]; and I will not leave them forsaken.

 (Isa 58:8) Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing (your restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. [Ex. 14:19, 20; Isa. 52:12.]

We praise and Thank You Father:

(Dan 2:22) He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him! [Job 15:8; Ps. 25:14; Matt. 6:6.]

We prophesy the following over our lives:

(Isa 60:1) ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you–rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! [Zech. 8:23.]

(Isa 60:19) The sun shall no more be your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you, but the Lord shall be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory and your beauty. [Jer. 9:23, 24; Rev. 21:23]

 (Matt 4:16) The people who sat (dwelt enveloped) in darkness have seen a great Light, and for those who sat in the land and shadow of death Light has dawned.

(Matt 5:14) You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

(Matt 5:16) Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.

Father we realize that the eye is a gateway and container that gather’s either light or darkness. We repent of all the darkness that we look upon and ask that Your Blood would wash our eyes and sanctify this gate way. Father, we ask for Your gate keeper of Light to take its place at our eye gates.

(Matt 6:22) The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light.

(Matt 6:23) But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you [your conscience] is darkened, how dense is that darkness!

(Matt 10:27) What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.

We praise You and honour You Yeshua that You are:

(Luke 1:78) Because of and through the heart of tender mercy and loving-kindness of our God, a Light from on high will dawn upon us and visit [us] [Mal. 4:2.]

(Luke 1:79) To shine upon and give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct and guide our feet in a straight line into the way of peace. [Isa. 9:2.]

(Luke 2:32) A Light for revelation to the Gentiles [to disclose what was before unknown] and [to bring] praise and honor and glory to Your people Israel. [Isa. 42:6; 49:6.]

(John 1:9) There it was–the true Light [was then] coming into the world [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] that illumines every person. [Isa. 49:6.]

(John 8:12) Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark but will have the Light which is Life.

(John 9:5) As long as I am in the world, I am the world’s Light.

(John 12:35) So Jesus said to them, you will have the Light only a little while longer. Walk while you have the Light [keep on living by it], so that darkness may not overtake and overcome you. He who walks about in the dark does not know where he goes [he is drifting].

(John 12:36) While you have the Light, believe in the Light [have faith in it, hold to it, rely on it], that you may become sons of the Light and be filled with Light. Jesus said these things, and then He went away and hid Himself from them [was lost to their view].

(John 12:46) I have come as a Light into the world, so that whoever believes in Me [whoever cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] may not continue to live in darkness.

(Heb 1:3) He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God’s] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high,

 (1Cor 4:5) So do not make any hasty or premature judgments before the time when the Lord comes [again], for He will both bring to light the secret things that are [now hidden] in darkness and disclose and expose the [secret] aims (motives and purposes) of hearts. Then every man will receive his [due] commendation from God.

(2Cor 4:4) For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers’ minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.

(2Cor 4:6) For God Who said, let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah). [Gen. 1:3.]

(2Cor 4:7) However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.

Amen
