HOW DOES GOD OPEN OUR EYES?

1. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you

John 14:26 (NIV) But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit,

whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind

you of everything I have said to you.

John 14:16-17 (NIV) And I will ask the Father, and He will

give you another Counselor to be with you forever - 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you

and will be in you.

John 16:15 (NIV) … the Spirit will take from what is mine

and make it known to you.

Ephesians 1:17-19 (NIV) I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus

Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. 18 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened

in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His

glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and His incomparably great power for us who

believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength

 

2. Cleanse your heart of sin and conflict

 Matthew 5:8 (NIV) Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will

see God.1 John 2:11 (NIV)

But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the

darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded

him.

 3. Come with a humble attitude

Psalms 25:9 (NIV) He guides the humble in what is right

and teaches them His way.

4. Commit in advance to do what God says

 James 1:22 (NIV) Do not merely listen to the word, and

so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

5. Ask God in faith to open your eyes

Psalms 119:18 (NIV) Open my eyes that I may see wonderful

things in Your law.

Acts 16:6-10 (NIV) Paul and his companions travelled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by

the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. 7 When they came to the border

of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. 8 So they

passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. 9 During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia

standing and begging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." 10 After Paul had seen the

vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to

preach the gospel to them.
