Which set of eyes are you using?

Were you aware that you have two sets of eyes, which are your natural eyes and the eyes of your spirit. Psalm 119:18 (TPT) says: “Open my eyes to see the miracle-wonders hidden in your word”. David knew that if he asked God to open up his spiritual eyes, he would be able to see the hidden wisdom, miracles and wonders contained in His word. God’s word is spirit and it is truth. It cannot be understood with the natural mind. It is foolishness to those who whose spiritual eyes have been darkened by the spirit of this age. There is great treasure hidden in God’s word and it is available for those who truly hunger after God with all of their hearts. If you really want to understand and know the hidden miracle wonders in God’s word, then its time to get serious with God and ask Him with all of your heart to open the eyes of your understanding.

Ephesians 1:18 “the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints”

Citizenship in this kingdom has awesome benefits

I once had the privilege to witness for a man who was becoming a citizen of the United States. He and his wife were so happy and overjoyed to finally become citizens. I had always taken my citizenship for granted until I heard his story, and his profound gratitude to be able to become a citizen. It was at that moment that I realized that it was a privilege to be a citizen. This is an awesome opportunity as well as a great responsibility. As citizens, we represent our country and our fellow citizens. We are responsible to do out part so that our communities are safe and well taken care of. We have to pay taxes so that the infrastructure, parks and landscapes can be well maintained. We have to show up to Jury Duty when asked to. If there is war, we even have to join the military to protect our country. In the same we, in Christ, we have become citizens of the Kingdom of God. In this Kingdom the  authorized ruler is the King of Kings Himself. We also have fellow citizens and members of the household of God (Ephesians 2:19). Since you are a kingdom citizen, you have great benefits. You are a child of God. You are seated in Heavenly places with the King. You have great authority to work and serve in the kingdom. You are recognized in this kingdom. Even the enemies of this kingdom recognize your authority, and have to flee from you. You are a royal priesthood in the kingdom. Your citizenship can never be revoked. You are well protected in this kingdom. You are a co-heir with Christ in this kingdom. This kingdom has the best health plan, because by His stripes you were healed. The King in this kingdom is truthful, honorable, faithful, and all-powerful. And on top of that, He loves you with an eternal love. Yes, being a citizen in this Kingdom has amazing and eternal benefits!

Ephesians 2:19 “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.”
