Practice in Quickened Eye Glances
HOW TO RECEIVE QUICKENED EYE GLANCES
Quickened Eye Glance Exercise
1. Dedicate your eyes to be consecrated to the Lord. Ask the Holy Spirit to draw your eyes to His Word to you within the next 5 minutes.
2. Turn on the oven timer for 5 minutes.
3. Get involved in a mundane, routine daily task like brushing your teeth, doing dishes, taking out the trash, making your bed, getting dressed etc.
4. Sometime within that 5 minutes you will forget the timer is on and your mind will wander because you are doing something routine and habitual. Sometime during that 5 minutes you will be thinking about something other than what you are doing!
The Holy Spirit will bring the realization that you are no longer thinking about the task, but about something else. When He does, notice where your eyes are drawn as you are thinking that! Your eyes will suddenly stop and pause as you are thinking. It is like a short little stare-in- space, gazing kind of action. It is a pause that is almost looking through the object as you are lost in the thought. But then when you realize your thought, your eyes pull back and “see” what you were gazing at. This is a quickened eye glance, when you suddenly notice where your eyes are pausing or staring.
5. Now ask the Lord to help you connect what you are looking at with what you were thinking. You will be amazed to realize His personal Word to you as you personalize your eyes with your thoughts.
How do you personalize what you are looking at when connecting it with your thoughts? Discover the parable of the object: it has a meaning, a purpose or a function. Now translate that practical purpose into the spiritual aspect of your life in what you were thinking.
If you get stumped on how to spiritually interpret what you are looking at, consider typing in your key word in the Glossary of Spiritual Interpretations. Entries are added regularly.
