"Don't Let Your Eyes Block You"
"But it is just as the Scriptures say, “What God has planned for people who love him is more than eyes have seen or ears have heard. It has never even entered our minds!” 1 Corinthians 2:9 (CEV)

With so much social media at our fingertips, it is easy to think that we know exactly what is going on. With all the cameras; people recording everything, person, and place—one might believe that they are seeing the whole truth; the entire picture of what is going on. The truth of the matter is, what we see what our natural eyes can not only deceive you but also block you from receiving the blessings that God has ordained for your life.
I decree that this week's Reflections will be a continued source of encouragement and inspiration for your heart mind and soul. It is so very easy to be fooled today into believing that we know exactly what is going on. Do not allow your natural eyesight block from the blessings of God for your life. Take time this week to exercise your spiritual sight; having faith that God will show you exactly what you need to see.
There have been many times in my life that I have missed opportunities because I allowed what I saw deter me and even plant seeds of fear inside of me. At this point in my life; I cannot afford to allow that to happen anymore. God has way too much for me to see, do, achieve; to give, change, and accomplish, for me to allow my natural sight to block the blessings of my Heavenly Father in my life.
How many times have you backed down or walked away because of what something looked like? How many times did you dismiss or prejudge someone based upon what they looked like? Not fair, but we do it more often than not; allowing what we see in the natural to curtail what the spirit is saying in our hearts.
I know that God has spoken to many of us; showing us His promise for our lives and the awesome greatness that waits to be manifested in our lives. It is such a beautiful and special thing to behold—the plan of God for our lives—that if we are not careful, we will allow what things "look" like at the present to dictate how we move and how we believe.
Things change, people change, circumstances change; but God never changes. He and His word remain the same; steadfast, true, and immoveable. All that God has spoken concerning our lives is not a guess but an assuredness. He is God. He cannot lie. And the truth of the matter is, His thoughts are far above our thoughts. His ways are that way, as well.
God will give us instructions and a word of knowledge and wisdom based on His truth and that which He has ordained for our lives. He is not telling us something—on His part—that may or may not happen. He is speaking the truth and what He has ordained for our lives, All we have to do is believe Him, have faith, follow His instructions and walk with complete faith, that whatever God has spoken concerning us, will indeed come to pass.
2 Corinthians 5:7 (CEV) But we live by faith, not by what we see.
Beloved, do not allow what your natural eyes see, to block you from receiving what God has promised you or from the life He has ordained for you. Do not get caught up in what things appear to be. As we know, things have a way of changing suddenly. See, through your spiritual eyes, what God is saying to you today. See, through your spiritual eyes—your mind's eye—who God called you to be. See yourself whole, happy, and filled with the goodness of God, walking in the manifestations of His promises and blessings.
In this world, we learn quickly that everything is not always as it seems. More times than not, we never have the whole picture when dealing with the world. That is why the Father admonishes us concerning judging one another...we should not. We should not even judge ourselves.
My Beloved, I decree that
the spirit of peace and of prosperity has found permanent rest in every area of
your life. Do not allow your eyes to block you from the blessings that God has for you. Do not be like the children of Israel and only see the giants in the land. Instead, see the blessings and promises that God made to you, and go after them. God cannot lie. It really is yours for the taking...when you finally believe. You are blessed. Now go...and be a blessing.
