Beloveds, I pray you are sticking in there with cleansing your eye gate daily. For then you will start seeing what God sees and look past that which you see in the natural. I bless you with the strength and discipline you need to overcome in Jesus name.

Let us look at the next scripture.

Proverbs 4:25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

What does it mean to look right on? Fixing your eyes unswervingly, steadily upon an object not allowing the gaze to deflect to the left or the right.

The object on which we set our eyes are then, the Word of Truth who is Jesus Christ.

What does eyelids look straight means? Do nothing rashly, but everything with premeditation; examine your conduct.

How do we examine our conduct? By weighing it against God’s word – keeping His precepts in mind.

So let us then add in the explanations to this scripture – Let thine eyes look (unswervingly, steadily, not looking to the left or the right) on (the Word of Truth, Jesus Christ), and let thine eyelids look straight (without doing anything rashly but premeditate and examine your conduct, weighing it against God’s precepts) before thee.

A Vision

I would like to share with you what I believe the Lord showed me this morning in my quiet time before I received this scripture for this post. I was looking at a spiritual battlefield from the top of a mountain. I looked at the forerunners at the front of the battle and I saw people fighting against a horde of demons. It was very interesting the way they fought. They were wielding their swords against the enemy but they were not looking at the demons that they were fighting against. They were busy reading scriptures from the Bible and they kept their eyes only on what they read. They didn’t for one moment take their eyes off of the Bible. The more they kept reading the more they could clear the path to walk further. All of a sudden I saw a huge wall in front of them and it was moving and trying to push them back. Then the forerunners started declaring the Majesty, Glory and splendor of God. They were declaring who God is! The moment they started doing this light filled the place and many angels were released that assisted the forerunners to push this wall back.

I believe that this is our message, we need to set our eyes only on the Word of God and in who He is. We will not overcome if we try to fight without His Word.

My beloved friend, are your eyes unswervingly, steadily upon the Word of Truth when you face trials or difficulties? Or do you look to the left or the right, struggling to keep Your eyes on Him? Do your eyelids look straight, do you first premeditate and watch your conduct before responding? Are your eyelids focused on Gods precepts? Where are your eyes at?

PRAYER

Father, I bring my eyes and eyelids before you by the blood of Jesus. Father, my eyes have wondered, I have not been looking at Jesus, the Word of Truth unswervingly. I have not kept my gaze steadily upon Jesus. I repent, I am guilty, I ask that You will forgive me for not looking at You, for looking to the left and the right, for getting overwhelmed and then be swallowed by doubt and fear. Father, I repent that my eyelids do not look straight, I do not keep Your precepts in mind, my conduct and behavior is of one that doesn’t know You. Please forgive me for not reading and focusing my eyes on Your Word and for allowing my eyes to look everywhere else but You for assistance when it goes tough. I rededicate my eyes and my eyelids to You in the name of Jesus. I ask that You will please remove all contamination of the world from me in the name of Jesus. I give You permission to once again fill my eyes and eyelids with Your light and truth in Jesus name. Jesus, I give this eye gate to You and I ask that You will please bring me to my senses. Holy Spirit, please remind me when I want to default to not keeping my gaze upon the Word of God.

Now, I turn my eyes upon Jesus,

I look full in His wonderful face.

And the things of the world will grow strangely dim.

In the light of His Glory and Grace.

This I pray in the precious name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Amen and amen.
