Seeing With the Eyes of Your Heart
SEEING WITH THE EYES OF YOUR HEART
~ Where 2 Worlds Meet ~
I have been tasting a new kind of vision and the Lord continues to give me so many immediate confirmations that I am convinced it is another way to “see” visions.
Other kinds of visions that I see are as a picture flash behind the screen of the eye where I literally see a picture pop up without pre-thought at all, it just suddenly appears. (I call them PIX:) Another is a tangible movie (moving) vision that is seen in the same unexpected way. (I called them VISION:)
But this new vision is rather an inner vision that is seeing with the eyes of my heart in my inspired thoughts, kind of like inspired day dreams. I rarely if ever put them into my rhema for public, but I do receive them and see God’s hand interact them with His still small voice, real PIX and real VISIONS. I have tried very hard to keep my ear and eye gates pure and not contaminated with self (and the world), and only recording what I know has come TO me as an unexpected gift and not THROUGH me, which can be connected with my soul. There is a distinction and I have spent years discerning the difference.
I have heard others describe similar experiences but no one has really backed it with scripture that I have noticed. I have asked the Lord for scripture to back it up and He finally gave it to me tonight. When in prayer and asking Him about a recent experience, I
HEARD: The eyes of your heart.
Eph 1:17-21 AMP
[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.
Eph 1:17-18 NKJV
…the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened;
WHAT OTHERS SAY
Bob Jones said that when we give our heart, soul, and emotions to the Lord to consecrate, that He will use them as expressions of His Word. I have understood this and experienced this many times, through tangibly feeling the heart and Words of the Lord when hearing and expressing them. I have also heard Bob say that the Lord will rain on our brains and give us inspired creative thinking. In my understanding, I just never put it all together before along with seeing on the inner screen of my thoughts.
I heard one teacher try to explain similar kinds of visions as though they are like inspired day dreams. I have not really liked the term day dreaming, because in those cases one can create them and make them go where they want the dreams to go. But the way one “sees” a normal day dream, is very similar, on the inside of their thoughts and not with their literal eyes or behind the screen of their eyes. I have heard another call this visualization. I am not impressed with that word either, but that word does describe the act of seeing our thoughts as moving pictures on the screen in the mind. I believe there IS a difference.
THE PROCESS OF “SEEING” IN OUR THOUGHTS
Seeing with the eyes of your heart, is the kind of vision that is inspired thoughts that are seen like day dreams, but they are being guided by the Spirit of the Lord. He is the One inspiring them to go in the direction they take and you can tell by the way they are being led that it IS the Holy Spirit and not you.
When the Lord gave me this scripture, I could clearly see that it describes the process of seeing with the eyes of your heart and that is how you can tell it is the Lord’s vision and not just day dreaming.
Eph 1:17-21 AMP
[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.
God imparts wisdom and revelation and insight into what you did not previously know about what you are visualizing with the eyes of your heart. Information that was held back from you is suddenly disclosed and your heart is flooded with His light as He highlights something of importance upon what you are picturing in the inner eye of your heart. He is giving you knowledge and understanding and guiding your moving story that you are thinking about. There is a level of participation in and with the Holy Spirit as we are yielding our senses to Him. We can feel the emotions of His heart, be led by the direction the inspired thoughts are going, and then also see them on the screens of our hearts as they are advancing. We become convinced it is the Lord when there is the element of quickened surprise, where He puts His spotlight upon a thought and He reveals something we did not know or had not previously thought about. In the process, there is a knowing in our own hearts that something that was just imparted to our thoughts that was not planned or expected.
Perhaps another way of labeling this is having the Mind of Christ. I have continued to ask for the mind of Christ since my youth.
1 Cor 2:13-16 NKJV
These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ .
TWO WORLDS OF THE NATURAL AND SPIRITUAL MEET
I turned with anointed hands in my 2004 rhema. On 10/12/04 I heard the Lord say the following:
HEARD: Come hither My bride. See here where the two worlds meet. Natural and spiritual. There may come a time when those roads are difficult to separate. But for now it does not matter. Abba set her free. Come to ME. It’s My way, the holy way.
I am living in that time now where my daily walk is filled with the Word of God as He is opening my eyes and ears to see how the natural and the spiritual are weaving in and out to tell His Word with confirmation and understanding. My consecrated soul is a part of the experience. When I dont walk in this daily merging of the natural and spiritual, I start pressing into Him because I KNOW it is there as daily manna for me to live in. Each and every day He is giving me the confirmations I need to be affirmed in this walk. The more I live this, the more I cant live with out this walk of abiding in Him. It is Jesus living inside my natural life!
Ps 34:10 NKJV
The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
Col 1:27 NKJV
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
