To Have Eyes that Are Open to See the Wonderful Things in God’s Word is a Supernatural Event that We Must Constantly Ask God to Do.

We tend to read the Bible from our American worldview and often miss what God is saying or teaching. How did the listeners of Jesus understand the concept of the eye? What is does it mean that the eye is a lamp to the body? How can we today apply Jesus' teaching from almost 2000 years ago in a different culture? Jesus speaks of light and darkness within a person, all experienced and clearly seen by others through your eye. What does your eye say about you?

Jesus says those who follow him have no need to worry. This is because they have a loving heavenly Father who is good and is able to provide all they need. This frees Christians to pursue God's priorities and the life he desires instead of earthly riches, treasures or experiences.

We are saved as individuals to be members of a body, who express their God given gifts for each other's blessing, and God's glory, in Love.

The way of Jesus, of His Kingdom, sets us free from the tyrrany of personal vendetta. We are free to forgive and love and help people who hurt us, who wound our pride, and who persecute us, who anger us. We are free to give away what we have knowing that God, who owns everything, is able to provide and protect and repay so that there will always be, in the end, justice, though we may see much injustice around us. God knows. Remember, while being hurt, Jesus neither fought back, nor ran away, rather he absorbed the hurt and forgave those responsible. The Spirit of Jesus is within all those who follow Him, trusting Him, those who've been born from above. LORD, help us to be different than we are. Recorded at Refuge TLH on Sunday, July 14, 2019.

God partners with His children, with those people who actively trust Him, working in the world in various ways. We have the privilege of asking God to work for those around us and of obeying Him in being the answer to many of those prayers. Jesus is LORD over all, even the demons must obey His commands and none are able to overcome His strength. We are always in an evil generation; we frequently demand signs of Jesus, trying to force Him to prove Himself. His death, burial, and resurrection give witness to His power and truth and provide for us hope that lasts beyond our present circumstances. He isn't looking for pretenders; He wants genuine followers. Shared by Jason Stuart Percy on Sunday, July 11, 2021 at Refuge TLH in Tallahassee, FL.

We live in a culture where what's pleasing to our eyes seems right to have or to ask for. And for the Christian, we deal with thoughts about bad choices getting in the way of God’s plan. However, I want you to know our bad decisions do not thwart the plan of God. Although bad decision bear consequences, it still a part of God plan.

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the…
