We must allow God to open the eyes of our hearts to see him as he truly is in order to progress further in our relationship with him. So often, we settle for what we can see with our physical eyes in our relationship with Christ. We settle for community without unity in the Spirit, God's word without revelation from the Spirit, and “open” or “closed” doors as our guide instead of making space to seek the Holy Spirit's guidance. It's past time for us, as Christ's body, to genuinely live in the fullness of relationship that his sacrifice has provided. It is for this reason that Paul told the Ephesus Church in Ephesians 1:16-19,

I never stop giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in knowing him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe.
Today, we need our “heart's eyes” to be enlightened. We need the Holy Spirit to come and accomplish a powerful job in our lives so that we can no longer live simply for what we see, but pursue the unseen through faith. “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen,” says Hebrews 11:1. God desires for us to pursue the deeper aspects of his character in faith. He desires for us to deepen our relationship with the Holy Spirit and learn to live our lives with his presence, leadership, voice, and love at the center of everything we do.
To live solely for what we can see with our eyes is to live only for what is temporal and fleeting. “I will not set before my eyes anything worthless,” says Psalm 101:3. I despise those who abandon their labor; it will not cling to me.” God has something excellent in store for us. Every day, He has a plan to bring heaven to Earth via our lives. However, in order to have an eternal impact, we must be able to see and understand God's heart. We need to become more conscious of how God feels and what he wants to do in the present time.
The cornerstone of seeking God's deeper things is growing in our relationship with the Holy Spirit. The only way to progress his dominion is to learn to live by and with him. Today, spend some time in guided prayer asking the Holy Spirit to open your heart's eyes. Request that he lead you into a more intimate and connected relationship with him. And make the decision now to live a life defined by a close relationship with your heavenly Father and powerful manifestations of his Spirit.
What are spiritual eyes?
The spiritual eye is a light that can be seen ‘beyond the darkness' of your closed eyes, rather than a real thing in the body. The deep meditator can glimpse into subtler-than-material realms through that light (the spiritual eye). The spiritual eye is a reflection of the cosmic energy that enters and sustains the body. The medulla oblongata, located near the base of the brain, is where it enters.
The five-pointed star in the spiritual eye's center is a portal through which our minds might visit the inner kingdom. The five points, interestingly, correlate to the human body's form. Stand with your arms out to the side and your legs spread wide. Do you see how that shape, with your head at the top, resembles a five-pointed star?
The star in the spiritual eye was the inspiration for the original design of our bodies. ‘In the image of God,' we were actually created. This wasn't just a poetic vision meant to suggest a higher level of possibility in ourselves. And it didn't imply that only humans have souls, as orthodox theology would have it. We are, in fact, spirits with bodies.
What do eyes symbolize in the Bible?
The Eye of Providence (or God's all-seeing eye) is a symbol depicting an eye, frequently contained in a triangle and surrounded by rays of light or Glory, meant to symbolise divine providence, in which God's eye watches over humanity. On the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, which is portrayed on the United States one-dollar bill, there is a well-known depiction of the Eye of Providence.
How do I open my spiritual eyes?
Have you ever desired for a psychic ability? Some think you should only look between your eyes.
The chakras are said to be wheel-like energy centers that run through your body and influence your well-being and perception. The sixth chakra in the body is the third eye chakra, which is also known as Ajna.
The location of this chakra is reported to be at the center of your head, parallel to the middle of your brows. It's linked to perception, awareness, and spiritual communion, according to experts.
When the third eye chakra is open, it is said to bring wisdom and insight, as well as strengthen your spiritual connection.
While there is no scientific evidence to back up these assertions, the third eye chakra is revered in many traditions and societies.
Let's take a closer look at what the third eye is, what it can accomplish, and how to activate it.
Are eyes the gateway to the soul?
Eyes are often referred to as the “windows to the soul.” But what exactly do we see when we look into another person's eyes? The eyes, in fact, reveal a great deal about another person's emotional state.
When people are depressed or frightened, their brow furrows, making their eyes appear smaller. When people are cheerful, though, we accurately refer to them as “bright-eyed.” When people are joyful, they elevate their eyebrows, making their eyes appear larger and brighter.
How do I know if I have a spiritual gift?
Accepting that intuition is a part of your personality is the first step in realizing it. The more you trust that you have this fundamental capacity, the more powerful your intuition gets. The stronger the messages get, and the easier your life will ebb and flow, the more you enjoy the fact that you are already receiving direction.
Consider whether you've experienced any of the following experiences and what you can do to help your life journey by encouraging them in a more powerful, positive, and meaningful way.
Have you ever heard the saying that everything happens in threes? It's critical to pay notice when there are trends in your life.
Six months after arriving in Los Angeles, I received a call from a friend who said he would be in town in three weeks and wanted to hook up with me. When I was thinking about him two weeks later in preparation for our plans, I didn't reach out since I assumed he would contact me like he had the previous time. I had several thoughts about him and even had a dream about him. After the dream, I awoke with the realization that I needed to call him that day. Instead, when I got on social media that morning and saw countless posts in response to his death, I was taken aback.
I've learnt my lesson; now, if I think of someone three times (or even fewer), I pay attention and pick up the phone to call them. The individual on the other end of the line is usually happy to hear from me.
Because sleep is our most creative and vulnerable condition, dreams and visions are most easily manifested.
My mother once had a dream that my father was about to die, and she awoke at 2 a.m. She instantly said a few prayers and attempted to sleep again after this nightmare. As it turns out, my father was climbing Mt. Hood in Oregon at the time, and he stepped into a crevice, causing an avalanche that nearly killed him. We don't always understand why we have dreams, but if you have them frequently, it's crucial to pay attention to them.
This might be a vision you see when talking to someone, a foreshadowing like the ones stated above in dreams, or just a random image that comes to mind.
Let's assume you're pulling out of the driveway and suddenly feel uneasy, and you have a mental vision of an accident in your head. You can then decide whether to wait till you feel comfortable or take a different route to work. Premonitions are frequently a type of communication intended to safeguard you from harm.
You thought you were getting up at 5 a.m. every morning to go pee, but it could be something else. Waking awake between the hours of 3 and 4 a.m. on a regular basis is a strong indication that spirits are trying to speak with you. This period is known as the “spiritual” or “connecting hour.” Sit up and allow yourself to receive messages if you consistently wake up at the same time every morning. They are warmly welcomed.
Children are the most conscious of the spirit realm, and they frequently refer to imaginary pals or villains in their nightmares. We reach a state of rest while we sleep “Delta and Theta” states are comparable to those we experienced as children. If there are spirits out there attempting to reach you, they may try to gently wake you up at first, but if that doesn't work, they may resort to nightmares.
I used to have nightmares every night when I initially came to Venice Beach. Worse, the lights were flickering and I was hearing strange noises. To say the least, I felt exceedingly uneasy. I ended up completing a spirit clearing with one of my paintings and, to my surprise, discovered who the spirit was in the process. My neighbor's mother, it turned out, had died when she was just 17 years old, looked exactly like me, and was also an artist. EEEEEk! I was terrified by everything. Looking back on this time in my intuitive journey, I would have most likely attempted to connect with her to figure out why she was in my area. But I was too uncomfortable at the time and wanted her to leave.
This is a highly frequent tendency among many people who are generally unaware of it. Frequently, we are experiencing experiences that are not ours, but rather those of someone we know. It could even be unrelated aches and pains or illnesses.
That used to happen to me on a regular basis. I was just driving from Los Angeles to Portland and began to feel tremendously afraid every time I passed a semi truck, as if they were trying to shoot me as I went past. I kept questioning it since it was the most unsettling experience I'd ever had. Isn't it true that I wasn't supposed to go to Portland? Later that evening, I learned that my girlfriend's parents had been kidnapped in Brazil and that gangs had erupted over the city. I had apparently been experiencing her family's concerns and emotions, and as soon as I realized what was going on, I felt at ease. When this happens, though, take a deep breath and exhale, clearing your mind of all unwanted emotions.
When I'm talking to someone and asking them a question, I frequently have an answer in my head before I even hear their response.
Voices are heard by certain persons. Some people get a thought in their head, while others get a response in their heart. It makes no difference how the signals reach you; what matters is that you are aware of them. When you identify this gift, it can be extremely beneficial in all aspects of your life.
Recognize when you're in a good mood and when you're in a bad mood. Let's assume you envision yourself laughing hysterically with your friends… What sensations do you have in your body as you recall this event? Then imagine yourself having the worst day of your life, whatever that means to you, and pay attention to what your body is telling you. The good and bad feelings will become more obvious as you ask your being questions on a regular basis. Then you'll be able to be yourself “Oracle” and stay in touch at all times. Instead of feeling nice and comforting, it could feel like pressure or even frigid. It's up to you to make sense of the situation.
I get a tingling sense a lot when somebody share something fantastic. When working with clients, I may have the similar sensation when releasing imprisoned emotions, beliefs, and other issues. Tingling and tickling sensations usually cause your body to move, even if it's just a momentary dance. The jumping sensation is usually automatic, and you react to it. Even when I'm writing something good, I'll occasionally be tingling the entire time. Tingling is magical to me; it's when everything is on point and spectacular. The sensation is the body's way of expressing itself “Yes!” says the universe.
You may start to feel a pressure between your brows before you realize you have an intuitive skill. This is your 3rd Eye, and it's a place where you can get messages and instruction. This experience will be strongest in those who are clairvoyant and can hear messages. Then it's a matter of checking in and sharing or “Consider how you're preparing to receive the visions. Some people can see the colors of other people's chakras through their third eye.
If you want to improve your intuition, consciously invite in the experiences listed above. You can express thanks for the experience as you grow more aware of the varied scenarios. It's almost as though you're becoming aware of your subconscious. It's a delicate line, to be sure, but it grows stronger with practice, just like any other muscle. You may also enhance the rate at which guidance and messages arrive to you.
Because it demonstrates your faith and believe in the guidance process, acknowledgment and thankfulness are the quickest ways to improve your intuitive talents.
Finally, it's critical to understand where the advice is coming from. It's critical to make requests that only the highest beings and light provide you messages and guidance. Another choice is to seek the highest level of insight and truth. You'll be better protected this way, especially against nightmares and voices. You don't want advice from those who don't have your best interests at heart.
