FATHER will open our eyes to see in the spirit realm if we ask. I have seen glimpses in the past but not in a consistent manner. We have an angel who is a frequent visitor at our home and we have seen many glimpses of him. Our grandson who at the age of five, had an early morning encounter with him when our grandson was spending the night at our house. My wife had seen his backside before the encounter so she knew what the angel was wearing. Neither of us had told anyone of these glimpses. At the breakfast table, our grandson told us of the encounter and described him with the same apparel as she had seen. The angel talked with our grandson “without moving his mouth”. This was an independent confirmation to us at the time.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2 Kings chapter 6:
15 And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
18 So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
FATHER was not reluctant to open eyes or close eyes according to the situation. Do you think Elisha would have asked that his servant’s eyes be opened in he had not himself been able to see in the spirit realm? Remember that Elisha saw Elijah depart toward Heaven.
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 1:
15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your (Agape) love for all the saints,
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
Paul prayed that those who walk in Agape Love and faith would have the eyes of their hearts, the very center and core of their being, be enlightened and flooded with light by the Holy Spirit. When this occurs, it allows us to see beyond the temporary nature of the world. As a result, we are able to minister in a much greater way. Let us not restrict our calling by limiting our willingness to utilize any and all resources FATHER discloses in HIS Word.
