A Spiritual Warrior’s Cry: Open My Eyes, Lord!

By: American Decency Staff

It’s been said we don’t know what we don’t know, but it’s just as true that we can’t see what we can’t see. Sometimes the enemy has so clouded our vision that we need God to break in with light—to open our eyes wide so we can see the supernatural events unfolding behind the natural scenes.

I’ve been there, and so have Balaam and Elisha’s servant. Although we walk by faith and not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7), sometimes God will choose to let us see something supernatural to bolster our faith—or just to get our attention when we’re going astray. Like I said, I’ve been there, and so have Balaam and Elijah.

When God opens our eyes, it may be in the form of a prophetic dream, a vision, a trance or even what feels like a real-life experience in heaven or hell. Although we should not seek supernatural experiences for the sake of seeking supernatural experiences, we should seek God and trust that He will give us what we need. There’s nothing wrong with crying out to God to open your eyes when you sense that you aren’t seeing what He really wants you to see.
