I pray for my eyes to be opened! I pray for enlightenment (knowledge, understanding, awareness and clarity). And I pray that this awakening would not be an isolated event but a groundbreaking moment that prepares the way for a turn in my story.
Ephesians 1:18-19
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
Power is promised and I consider power dangerous, particularly for humans untethered by the seal of God. In some ways, I want power and control. If I said otherwise, I would be lying. I struggle with “control issues” all the time. And successful control translates into power. But that is power abused and we see that every day in our culture. The power of influence or money or position.
But here, we are told that an enlightened heart, eyes wide open, understands power in a new way. It’s an inheritance from God in Christ. It’s a focus. And as I’ve written a million times before, I’m sure there’s a paradox involved. Power is probably in letting go of one’s own “power.” It’s submitting to divine power. And of course, that power will not be the way I would expect. Would I even recognize that kind of power?
Will I recognize what I see when those spiritual eyes are opened?
When the prophets of old described all the unbelievably fantastic things they saw in their visions, they could only use their limited understanding. Am I any different?
And yet, it is my heart’s cry today. Open the eyes of my heart Lord.
Meditations from Zion 
Irm, i think God’s Holy Spirit opens our spiritual eyes only as far as we can cope with what we will see. Some have seen angels and visions others dream.
So true.
The Lord is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, so I think we are on the right path. Just keep seeking and He will provide the answers and the understanding! God Bless you on your search :o)
I just think most Christians are pretty anemic in the area of “moving mountains.” We could be doing these things, but we are habitual creatures. We make too many assumptions.
