Scripture: Acts 26:18-”To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me”.
Title:”Open our Eyes”.
I am so excited to be before you on today. The Lord has given me a word for the house of the Lord, and I am super excited to give it to you. “The dreams that we have are like letter from the father”(Apostle David E. Taylor). The reason I mention this is because God really does speak through our dreams. I have been having some very interesting dreams this last week. The type of dream that I had was a “warning dream” which means that God was making me aware of the attack of the enemy so I would know how to pray and how to fight. A warning is dream can be warning you of something that could happen or something that is happening that you are not aware of. That is why it is so important that we have our spiritual eyes and ears open to what God has to say and show us through his Holy Spirit.
We see hear that our scripture opens up with, to open their eyes...we all need our eyes open, we all need to be spiritually aware of what's going on so we can intercede from our nation, our leaders, pastors, service workers, soldiers, towns, cities, families, husbands, wives, schools, and children. There are times God can warn us of a coming event so that we can pray against it, so it does not happen. I also want to caution here that we do not need to be spiritually obsessed, thinking that everything that happens is the devil or an attack on our lives. The word of God says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”(2 Timothy 1:7). It is the power of love that overcomes fear. So I caution you saints of God to watch as well as pray!
It is the purpose of every Christian to witness and as we witness we plant a seed, water a seed that has already been planted. We can all share our testimony of what God has done for us and why we decided to accept Jesus as our personal Saviour. The word is like a seed, as we share the word we sow seeds. If someone has already heard the Gospel message, and we share it with them a second time, we water that seed. But it is God who gives the increase, it is God who actually saves that person. It is are responsibility to share the message, it is the person's’ responsibility to accept or reject what we have shared with them. However in most cases it is the way we live our lives and show the love of God that can be the biggest witness ever. We must be sensitive to the spirit to know when we just need to pray for a person or when we need to pray with them or share the Gospel with them. When we do this we are coming against the kingdom of Satan, and hopefully keeping a soul from entering hell.
We have a beautiful inheritance in Christ Jesus, we are the seed of Abraham and we have been engrafted into or adopted into the Kingdom of God. For the Gospel is for the jew and the greek, for God is no respecter of persons. Neither should we be, everyone no matter their history or past, should be able to hear the Gospel we are not to judge, homosexual, murder, prostitute, jew, american, pakistanian, everyone should hear the gospel! We are the light in this dark world, because we carry Jesus in us. We should not keep that light to ourselves but be able to share it with others as God leads.
Look at it this way, a farmer knows when to harvest the seed. If he waits too long the harvest is spoiled but if he harvest too quickly it is not ready and all the hard work has been lost. In the same way, let us be led by the spirit, open to the timing of God, and show the love of God to everyone. Let your light shine!
