But the LORD said to Samuel, Look
not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused
him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward
appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).
In Genesis 15:5, God said to
Abraham, “...Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to
number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” You’d notice that God
was specific as to what He wanted Abraham to look at. He didn’t say to him,
“Look up” or “Look around”; He said, “Look at the stars and see if you can
number them.” Each time God tells you to look, He gives you what to look at,
and usually, He wants you to see with the eyes of faith. Continue...
It doesn't matter how people see
you; what matters is how you see yourself: the perception and opinion you’ve
formed of yourself, on the basis of what the Word says about you. See “you”
with the eyes of God, and live what you see! Don't look at things from the
physical perspective, and form conclusions that are based on sensory
perceptions. God doesn't want you to live that way. He wants you to see from
your spirit and make the right judgments.
Before the physical manifestation
of the supernatural and glory of God in your life, you must see it first within
you. Once you can see it with the eyes of faith, it's yours. You must first
have it within. For example, when God says to you, “I have granted your
request,” don’t consider the surrounding situation anymore; see and receive it
in the spirit first!
See and apprehend your prosperity,
health, peace, progress, success, deliverance and the salvation of your friends
and family members. Proclaim with your mouth that which you've already seen
within you—not so they'll come to pass—but because you know they already exist
in the faith-realm.
If you want to have a fruitful walk
with the Lord, you have to learn to see and receive with your spirit, and keep
your focus on the Word.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for
enlightening the eyes of my spirit through your Word, to see and receive every
good thing that you've made available to me in Christ Jesus. I walk in the
reality of my inheritance in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look
not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the
things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are
eternal. ;
Matthew 6:22 The light of the body
is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of
light.
