All Eyes on Jesus!
Last week I had a dream where I was in a house with many rooms and many people. Some I recognized, some I didn’t. There was a dark heaviness throughout, and everyone was chattering about it. They were all talking about this demonic spirit that would come in this specific room and torment this man named ‘Christian’. Everyone was scared out of their minds and no one knew how to help him. So I walked into the room where this demon would come and manifest. There were others there too. As I stood there I felt the strong presence of this demon enter the room. Eventually coming into view, it took the form of a woman. While all were feeling intimidated and terrified staring at this demon, I lifted my head up to the heavens, closed my eyes and began to release thanksgiving to The Lord naming all of His attributes in worship and praise! Declaring His power, authority and faithfulness! The demon left and the room shifted. I then began telling everyone, “Stop looking at the enemy! We must look to The Lord! Look at Jesus! Look at Jesus! Declare His goodness in the land! This is how you overcome the enemy!” No one was really listening to me, they were all distracted and preoccupied and I was getting so frustrated…
There is a fire in my belly to declare this morning “Christian, come out of fear and torment! Stop looking at the enemy and set your face towards the throne!” Stop magnifying the problem and magnify the answer! Our eyes were created for ONE lover. Our mouths were formed for praise. There is great power released in the spirit when God’s people declare who He is! From a broken heart, a broken body…to a broken nation The Lord desires to heal and this healing is not found in focusing on brokenness, but on the healer! Worshipping The Lord from the place of ‘it is finished’. When we set our gaze on who HE is and not where we lack, we are infused with His power. So today fix your eyes on your beloved and remember all of his benefits! Repent for being distracted and receive fresh focus. Surrender your fears and let his love nourish your hearts.
