WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Jonelle Maxwell

The Lord asked, Jeremiah “What do you see?” After asking and receiving Jeremiah answer, the Lord told him that he seen well. The Lord said that He was ready to perform His word.”

[Jeremiah 1:11; 12 NKJV].

Why did God use this illustration with Jeremiah? Was it because Jeremiah was
blind and could not talk? Well, we know here in this text Jeremiah was being suited up for the call to the nations as Prophet. God was taking him through the process of testing be make sure Jeremiah understood that seeing went with speaking what he saw in the spirit caused God hand to move and perform that which was spoken by the young Prophet Jeremiah. It is the same way with the Believer today. God not only His Prophets but all of us as Believers to see what He see and speak what we see in order for Him to bring His word to pass not only in our lives but in the lives of others and in the nation in which He send us to. This is a powerful demonstration of the word becoming tangible. It is the speaking principle in the Kingdom. Nothing happen unless we see it first and then speak what we see. We have been taught to just go around speaking the Word which is part true, but seeing in the Spirit plays a huge part in what we say. For example, we must be able to see ourselves on the other side of lack. We must see it in the Spirit. Once we get a clear vision or view of this, then we will be able to speak, and watch God bring it to pass. This is what I call team work with Holy Spirit. Our only job is to see and speak. The rest belong to God.

Also, we should never be caught by surprised nor deceived by wolves. The Holy Spirit will reveal not only good things to come but also the traps of temptations of the enemy while the enemy is planning traps. The Holy Spirit will teach us how to escape.

*Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
[John 16:13]

*There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. [1 Corinthians 10:13]

I believe, in the hour we are in, we must ask the Holy Spirit to give us insight into what He desires us to see. There are many things happening around us but yet many of us stil remain blind. A few days ago, I just kept telling the Lord, there is much more you desire me to see. There’s a place in prayer God want us to go deeper in so we can not only hear and see for ourselves, but for others as well. There’s one thing I learned years ago, the devil will do any and everything to keep a born again believer blinded. He love to see us walking in the dark. This is so we will not be able to discern his tricks, schemes, and plots. The devil never want his plans exposed. The only way we will be able to avoid this is by putting on the whole armor of God every single day.

*Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
[Ephesians 6:11]

During this time, I am asking the Lord to open all of our eyes to the things around us. We need our eyes to be open, especially what is going on with the corona virus and other things. God is faithful to keep us from being blind. He want our eyes to be open. He want to give us strategy, wisdom, and insight. These are the things He will give us if only we would just…ASK.

*I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints. [Ephesians 1:18]

The Holy Spirit will teach us how to escape.”
